If there is to be an open standard regarding how identity related information is to be aquired and used, you can be sure that the government will want a hand in it .
You're the fat, hopeless "I use Slackware so I'm cool" turd that everyone warned me about before trying it a few years back. If you haven't gleaned this from my posts so far: I don't pay much attention to the whole Slackware thing because I don't give much of a shit, and haven't used it in years. Motherfucking nerds man, I swear.
1. Upon the very first time I used it, it kept grinding to a halt and saying that my 3com ethernet card kept being found, even after installing it with "Microsoft certified drivers". On another XP system, the 3Com card installed without issue. After I removed it, it bluescreened and demanded the license info again.
2. I installed a SCSI scanner on a brand new Compaq system running XP home. The scanner was terminated, ASPI layer up to date (Adaptecs 4.x.x), and the SCSI card was of the correct SCSI interface speed and drivers up to date. XP crashed intermittingly. A Windows 2000 system and a Redhat 8.0 system were able to use the same hardware without issue.
3. I was simply watching some pr0n mpeg in Windows Media player and XP rebooted. This sounds made up, but I assure you it happened. Checking the logs (what little there are) it showed that Media Player somehow violated security issues. I had just disabled the "feature" to have Media Player send my info back to Microsoft
4. A friend of mine had just gotten a new laptop. He had it for 1 day when XP crashed so hard it wouldn't even boot properly. I loaded WIn 2k pro and Redhat 8.0 on it to dual boot for him. He has since had no issues, and this was about 2 months ago.
I had a simple document distribution app running on a NT server that was a setup to be a member in an Active Directory environment. When the XP client tried to access it, it would drop off the connection it had to all shared printers, and shortly thereafter reboot. This happened on XP client and not the other. Both had the same exact filesystem setup and registry, and good hardware.
Yes, XP crashes like any other Microsoft OS. Many times this is due to accidental faults by Microsoft. (I truly feel that some crashes are on purpose, why the fuck else would the system reboot after telling a MS app it can't have my info?) What else is new.
I blame my keyboard, I mashed 3 and 5 at the same time, back spaced over 3 and left 5. So sue me.
Now that we are on the topic of older lack distros, was it just me, or weren;t you able to order Slack way back in the day right from Patrick's site, and it came in a two CD set with Tux on the front? (I think it was 3.4)
You have to admit, Linux is getting big in business, and it doesn't hurt to aim for the heavens. Aggressive business models work better then passive ones, and Yoper certaingly seems to want to be aggressive. IBM gained a cool billion by aggressively confronting not only their UNIX competition, but also their Linux business partners.
That said, I would still rather throw my money and/or support towards distributions that have been treating the community good for the past 5 or more years (Slack, Redhat, Mandrake when they aren't looking for a handout, and Suse).
I haven't even touched Slack since the 5.x days. I think that it's time to get back to my roots. I love Redhat and all, but I miss the good old days of building it all up the way I like it from the get go (to a certain extent, anyways).
I do enjoy the ability to install Redhat and be on the web, IM'n and coding my bullshit php scripts in 30 minutes, but sometimes when something breaks, I have to jump through hoops finding what directory Redhat decided to put/insert config script that is usually somewhere else in every other distribution here/.
And despite what anyone says, I think Bluecurve looks nice. I'll probably still use it in SLackware.
I wish that I too had owned such a dominant monopoly that I could afford to dump millions into a failing market and video game format, in addition to loosing millions in other markets (including another video game market). I wish I was Microsoft.
Yes! I have been longing for a another security alert in an open source application for some time. Now we can enjoy the always engaging and informative debates between Microsoft clowns and open source zealots concerning security in proprietary and open source code. It is difficult to find the same measure of eloquence in posts concerning other aspects of technology.
If I wanted to read about the predicted business ventures of some corporation, I would read thier corporate section on their website. This isn't news, buddy.
GTA Vice City was the best game that I have ever played in my 16 years of video game playing (I am 23 years of age). It had an entertaining story line, great dialogue, unbeatable gameplay, and is just plain fun. The sheer volume of what you can actually do in this game, aside from the actual somewhat-linear story line, is worth 100 hours of game time.
GTA Vice City made this Nintendo fan boy buy a PS2 last week. I love it, and it's developers and designers deserve every penny they are making from it.
But don't think for one second that I didn't preorder the new Zelda. =)
1. A personal journal application, completely self contained, in which the application runs off the disk and burns your journal to the free space.
2. An image viewing and burning application. The application is small and is contained on the read only portion. The user uses it to build a new gallery on the CD, and then burn it.
Microsoft didn't agree to seperate the Windows operating system, only to sell the various applications of the Office Suite by themselves. In other words, it appears as though the Taiwanese will be able to buy only Word or Excel without having to purchase the entire suite. They are still as evil as they ever were when it comes to Windows.
At least Google patented something that is really tangible and specific, and not some vague explination of a process or transaction that people have been doing for the past 10 years (like Amazon's "discussing an item" patent).
This patent targets a specific algorythim which Google arguably invented (I don't know whether they did or not, but seeing as how no other search engine has ever come close to their power, I bet that they have).

Honestly, I didn't think Flash would be around as long as it has. I saw it's potential in making cartoons, but Flash sites are just annoying.

I look forward to seeing those beatiful images tommorow.
I am so tired of these geek book reviews. Wow, you were all geeks, gee sorry. Get over it.

Remember the little "No information is being sent to Microsoft at this time...." message during updates? Wait, why am I laughing?
