Engineering isnt an art huh?
So the things we design for the masses dont play on emotions when we sell them? Tell me that cars dont have an emotional role in most peoples lives, or that the old majestic buildings dont have a symbolic artistic beauty to them.
While I share your enthusiasm and at the same time your concerns about the development of OpenBeOS, this has nothing to do with OpenBeOS and everything to do with Eugenia's absolute and total lust for the BeOS of old. She will play it up at every oportunity. In the early days of OSnews it was funny how she would write glossy eyed articles on things and include BeOS in it somehow, but at this point it is becoming absurd. If she had stated it was "Her DE review" that would have been fine, but with the amount of unbridled bias she always displays, it is an atrocity for her to call any of her reviews, "Definitive"...
Can someone explain to me how the desktop from BeOS 6 of yesteryear is one of the most popular desktops today. This sounds like another case of the very biased Eugenia Loli-Queru spreading her lust for the BeOS of old...
No, I've pretty much decided I'm not going to install OpenBSD until the next format.
As for Multiple OS's on the same hard drive. I have four on this hard drive and not a single problem in the year they have been sharing it for.
I've been wanting to set up an OpenBSD installation on one of my boxes for a few months now but the task of installation looks rather daunting according to their FAQ. Can anyone here who runs openBSD or who has installed it a few times and has a grip on the process email me with some thoughts about exactly how rough it would be for a BSD n00b, like myself, to do his first installation.
Hrm. Microsoft announces development of AMD's x86-64 Hammer solutions. Mainstream Linux distro's follow suit. Software companies are looking at Microsoft and saying, "We're going to follow Microsoft, they have the money."
I wonder is Intel is rethinking their plan to ride that piece of shit they call the itanium 2.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux isnt focused at the hobbyist, it is focused at the low end server and workstation market. More specifically, it's focused towards corporations. Everything the normal hobbyist, and even the advanced hobbyist, could possibly need is included in the standard Red Hat Linux platform that you can buy or download from the ditribution server and mirrors. Dont be confused, these changes in release are aimed at corporate usage.
Very well, Baseball has degraded to a point that it's not worth my time to pay that close attention to the sport as a whole anymore, much less the tigers...
Ahem, spring training.
With the tigers there is no distinction between spring training games and reg season games. They're all losses. Do the math next time.
You arent missing anything by not catching the tiger games. I can recap all 182 of their games last year for you

"Tigers Lose"

Copy that into notepad and paste it 181 times and you'll have the 2002 tiger report.
When suing a company so much bigger than you that it could swallow you in a business transaction before noon the next day, you should keep this in mind.
You probably shouldnt sue for more than the combined total of your previous ten years earnings.
Then again, if SCO used that rule of thinb they would have to file their suit for a whopping $5.74
Most of the time, if you're offering files for download, a great portion of your user base will be at the college student level, and most universities bottleneck your ability to download via ftp thorugh standard ports, limiting your ftp download speed. I live in a dorm and because of the bottlenecked ftp I have to download via ftp to get it done reasonably, which is sad, because I have to download my linux iso's via http as well. Something to keep in mind if your user base will be student centric.
I'm a student and I've recieved three of their letters. The last one I recieved was about 2 months ago. I drafted a letter and mailed it to them saying:
All the software used on my computer is Open Source. You're very welcome to come audit me, but I dont keep my licenses on hand. You can find my licenses and user agreements online, at nearly any computer software oriented site. Perhaps you are familiar with my software license's, it's called the GNU GPL. Good Day Gentlemen.
Funny thing is, they havent replied yet to that letter...I wonder why?
Slashdot Mirror
Because everything in the computer world has to have the obligatory 'zilla' on the end...

BSD isnt the same thing as linux. Two completely different kernels.
Remember that guy who burned his penis with his laptop? I bet he wishes he had one of these cooling systems...

:-) The most dangerous factor in working with computers is the interface between the chair and the keyboard. I've learned this many a time.

Thats the problem. I want to install to a partition on the drive. I dont need BSD raping my drive to pieces...

Thats fine is you want the bloat. (although the kitchen sink is pretty funny) But when is the phoenix browser project going to release .6?
My bad, go dev kernel hackers!
Enterprise server is proprietary. You have to pay for it. Enterprise server isnt like Red Hat's standard linux distibution which is free.

Nah, I never liked it much in the first place. Used to watch, gave up on it.
