Not really. Religion pisses me off in a big way. I could make valid points but I'm just not in the mood to do so. I'm already pissed off today, this only make it worse. If that make me a troll, so be it.
The Bible? The Bible is just a book, filled with many contradictions. The Cross, the beloved symbol of Christianity, actually had nothing to do with Christianity at all. It originated from some other belief/event (I can't remember what it was, off the top off my head). If you choose to live your life by the rules within a book, then I'm sorry, but you're a lot dumber than I am.
Religion is stupid (not to mention the root cause of many bad things that happen in the world). The very fact that there are hundreds of them only proves this point. They can't all be correct. A whole lotta people are going to be very dissapointed when they die. But seeing as nothing will happen when they do anyway, there's not going to be anyone there to prove my point. But if you can *prove* me wrong, I'd like to see your evidence.
P.S. Okay, this is a semi-troll. But it's something I feel strongly about.
... with Staroffice as I see it is that it's one huge application. And I mean, HUGE. If I want to work on a spreadsheet, I don't need my Word Processor sitting in memory too. Unfortunately because of the tight integration in StarOffice this is exactly what happens. It kills my 64MB P-II. Gnumeric and AbiWord, although nowhere near as advanced, are at least usable.
Didn't you know that O'Brien has been doing this for ages? He always manages to find some fragments of the file which he can use to reconstruct the original. I always thought it was a little far-fetched. Guess I was wrong.
Ah, so you want a completely new system that forces every program to adhere to the same interface and everything will look the same, despite the users wishes. Now, I'm sure there's an OS out there already that does that...
Okay, X may have a few problems. But I happen to like the fact that interfaces can be different. I like the choice of different toolkits. What would be very cool is if some of these toolkits played nice together.
Maybe if there was some kind of keybinding database that these toolkits use by default, so that paste is always ctrl-v, for example, whichever toolkit and program you use. That would eliminate a lot of the problems. Surely this wouldn't be *that* hard to implement. Anyone like to comment?
I congratulate you on your effort, but not all of use have the time to devote to Mozilla. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to help, I really would. To be part of devloping something that huge, in however small a a way has got to give warm fuzzies. But, I'm stuck here in the UK on the end of a piss poor modem line which I'm still paying by the minute for, and a very crap machine. Even if I could spare the time it'd kill my machine. It brings my work machine to its knees and thats a better specced box.
This can only put the Mozilla guys under more pressure. The longer they take to release their browser, the more people will develop their pages for IE. It will happen because people don't have inifinte patience. Mozilla may be standards compliant, but if by the time its released those standards don't mean anything it doesn't help much. If I could help them I would but it's way out of my league unfortunately. I wish them luck, and hope they release it before its too late.
The Abit KA7-100 supports memory interleaving with 133Mhz DIMMs. Haven't had a chance to try it because I sent the motherboard back (don't ask!), but there is support for it out there. How popular it will become only time will tell.
If they don't want to contaminate Io/Europa, why are they happy to contaminate Jupiter? I'm not sure I see the difference. Granted, from current evidence life is far more likely to occur on Jupiters moons that on the planet itself, but until we can prove that I don't see why we should think about contaminating anything.
Gotta agree with that. I also want to know what they are hoping to discover about the first 1/100th of a second anyway. We know what happens, there's a bright flash, shit loads of heat, and lots of people die, either immediately or later. What else is there to know about a nuclear explosion. Surely if they're going to spend this amount of money on a supercomputer, they could put it to better use. Bill Gates could always use it for his bubble sort, eh?;-)

I'm complaining. Oracle sucks. Sybase is far better technically than Oracle IMHO. Its also a lot simpler to maintain, has a smaller footprint memory and disk wise and you don't have to mortgage your house to buy the damn thing.
I believe Oracle has reached the top, not through being the best, but through marketing hype. Does this sound like another company we know?

Thanks for the information. It's kind of a moot point now since I'm unable to flash the BIOS to the latest version because the board is dead. Besides, seeing as Linux runs like a dream on it I'm just going to remove Windows completely anyway.
Now weary traveller, rest your head. For just like me, you're utterly dead.
Done it, several times.. reseated the cards, CPU and DIMM's.. removed the battery for a day... its not having it. I tried for 3 days on the previous board and got nothing.
Now weary traveller, rest your head. For just like me, you're utterly dead.
Read my above reply. I'm not making it up... I'm just stating what happened. If you can explain it then please do. But don't presume that I'm wrong just because it goes against your beliefs. I have heard of 95 trashing a BIOS on another board so it s not unreasonable to assume it can do it to mine too. Having said that, it maybe an amazing coincidence. Then again...
Now weary traveller, rest your head. For just like me, you're utterly dead.
I bought a new KA7 board and moved my old disk across from my old system. I booted the machine up into Linux and it worked just great. I then proceeded to boot into Windows 95 in order to install the new motherboard drivers etc. Windows did its usual clucnking around and finding new hardware then asked me to reboot (no option to install drivers yet). I did this and bang, nothing. No POST, no Video.. sod all. I thought it was just a coincidence and that the board was faulty so I had it replaced (this time with a KA7-100). This had been running fine with Linux for a week until yesterday when I thought I'd give Windows a try again. And guess what... reboot... bang.. no board. Coincidence my arse. Windows is fucked ( and no, its not a virus as the windows partition has hardly been used in 2 years and is neither networked nor had any programs added for a long long while). I'm nuking Windows when I get my board back. Here endeth the lesson.
Now weary traveller, rest your head. For just like me, you're utterly dead.
I don't know about anyone else, but the programs I develop are intended to run under Linux, so I develope under Linux. If I was intending to develop Windows apps, I'm sure I'd develop them under Windows. Yes, there are cross platform development environments, but to be frank I couldn't care less about Windows (95 has just trashed two motherboards for me so I'm in a very anti-Windows mood atm).
Anyway, what I'm saying is, if the programs are intended to be run only under Linux, Linux is a good choice for development, is it not?;-)
Now weary traveller, rest your head. For just like me, you're utterly dead.
I wasn't attacking the words, and yes it is a good question. But a great deal of the hoopla surrounding the protection and privacy of data is entwined within the lack and/or difference of laws.

Sorry, I meant Linux *did* run like a dream on it. And hopefully will again when I get the replacement through.
