Personally I prefer KDE 3.1 over anything. It, I find is the easiest to customise. Of course my argument is as valid as the articles since it is based entirely on personal preference
My school has been adopting Linux in many areas. First of all the forum server (where students get thier homework, and teachers discuss) runs Redhat (I wanted to put Debian on there but Redhat was a much better distro to teach the people who will be taking over when I am gone next year) which was migrated by me and another student from Windows 2000. Many of my friends use Knoppix instead of the Novell junk, and we are workign to get a few computers in the Senior Computer Science classes set up with dual boots so that other people can learn the ways of the penguin.
Although I do admit that since I am the Linux guru of the school I have been the one to make the most difference in the degree of adoption that my school has pursued thus far, many students other than I are taking Linux into thier own hands
OK I admit it, I am a nerd. And do you really think I give a shit?
I am the only person in the entire school (1200 people) to use Linux as my main desktop OS. I got a few other people into it but they at best dual boot. I am still the recognised Linux guy for the school (at least to those who know what linux is)
I am the server admin of the school forum server (running linux)
I think all your base is hilarious,
I can fix any computer, and enjoy calculus
I have bought my own computer, and spent another grand on programming books (continually learning new languages)
My friend made up his own dating system and I can tell you what Tuesday it is. (every day is Tuesday, except next millenium it will be Wednesday)
I exhibit very nerdly charectoristics and I DON"T CARE. I have a close circle of friends, say 5 or 6 people (hardcore computer nerds). And a very large circle of aquaintances (people who have some resemblance of a life outside computer related junk).
Popularity is such a relative thing that I don't even care. I got out of attempting to play that game a long time ago and have never looked back. I couldn't give a shit if a cheerleader thinks I am a geek. I really don't care what other people think of me. I am not depressed, I am not suicidal, those who do feel depressed because they are not one of the "popular" crowd are still trying to be one of them. It is much easier if you give up and be yourself.
Going out, getting drunk, and getting high really never appealed to me,
Room 112 at lunch (computer lab) at my school Is the best 72 minutes of my day. It is when I get to hear geeky jokes, it is when I get to play with computers, it is when I get to check Slashdot, configure a php server for a programming class, wallowing in my own geekyness
I am gaining more respect for AOL, first they are mum about the RIAA's plan to make your base (and identity) belong to them. And now this. I would never subscribe to them, but they rate above the RIAA and MS in my eyes
I have my Athlon (1400 mhz) running 24/7 (under Linux, even though that makes no difference:p). All the time it is doing Folding@home (Amdmb Folding Frogs) so it is at 100% CPU utilisation. The side of the case is always off (Just looks cool) and my room is always noticably hotter than the rest of the house. Many times I have to open the window becasue I am sweating buckets. My dad used to complain about leaving it on all the time (electricity bill) but I just payed him twice the amount that a computer uses in a year (I got that statistic off the internet).
I this heralds an era where chipmakers are finally starting to realise that unless you are doing some sort of DC project, or ripping movies 24/7 you don't need twice the power of yesterdays supercomputers in your PDA. Although I will stick with my Athlon to keep warm (Currently, with windchill it is minus 40 C out:eek:)
This is sad news. Mandrake was my first introduction to Linux, I actually bought the boxed version of Mandrake Standard 8.1. Since then I have graduated to more in depth distros (read Slackware and Debian) , but Mandrake will always hold a special place in my heart.
Microsoft doesn't think computer users should have to use one program to read and write a word-processing file, another to use a spreadsheet, and a third to correspond via e-mail
i think ms should go to hell. I don't want on app to do everything, (On my windows partitino) i use corel for word proscessing, eudora for email, excel for spreadsheet, and that is all i use. I don't even install the other stuff. now they are going to make me install all that crap and consume resources. >:(
?? i have office 2000 running fine on wine. I used the tutorial found here [http://frankscorner.org/wine/modules.php?op=modlo ad&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid= 30&page=1]. It works fine for men, although it does crash sometimes while exiting (preforming your exit much faster:p)
If you are compiling KDE or Gnome on them then there is probably no need to use a version of glib with less compatability as you would have more than enough resources for glib if you are intending on running KDE or Gnome
Ok i got a crazy idea, it has probably been suggested already but why doesn't slashdot take the webpages obviously hosted of a 486 with a cable connection (ie not a website like the new york times) and mirror it BEFORE they post it to the slashdot world. The slashdot servers obvoisly have the capacity to deal with slashdot as all of the slashdottings originate here. Perhaps that is the better option instead of leaving it up to the readers to post mirrors, by the time any reader who has the means to post a mirror a good link is slashdotted.
hmm my room, i have a fair amount of deskspace although 99.99% of it is covered with crap (papers, homework, books, novels, computer manuals etc) and i have enough space for my mouse. My moniter is under a shelf thing, on the left shelf is blank CDr'sas well as a huge stack of CD's that came in paper cases (the kind of software you get free with a printer) the shelf to the right contaings books, lots of them, sci fi (mostly), Computer manuals and general books. AS i mentioned earlier the area to the right of my mouse is completely covered with crapm currently there is 2 hard drives, the notbook i use for my computer science dossier, some blank CDr's i bought last night, an empty spindle (ran out of that spindle last night and had to go and buy the currently almost full spindle) about 3" of paper, a C++ book, 2 DVD's.
TO my right (sort of beside the desk) is 2 CD towers containing most of my CD's (not including my binder). My computer is to my left and on the floor, the side is perpetually off for easy access (as well as slightly lowered temps). Beside my computer is my sterio which i route the output from my soundcard to when not using my headphones. Beside my sterio is my printer, a crappy epson bubblejet which i have invested about $600 in ink cartrages (gotta get me a laser) since i got it, aobut 12 times the value of the printer,
You take for granted the number of computers wokring on the problem will stay the same. More copmuters + more powerful computers = massive savings in cracking time. Teh numbers of computers in use is not even close to levelling off, more comptuers are being sold every day while fewer old ones are being taken out of commission. The CPU power per capita is going up regardless of moores law.
I tends not to have small bugs (ie renders pages a tiny bit incorrectly) it tends to have HUGE bugs (ie you credit card numbers were posted on a public forum)
i woudl flip out on my ISP, possibly parade outside thier office wearing a sandwich board filled with a few choice words, but i wouldn't go as far as suing:p
getting into a secret menu on your tivo and pissing off the neighbours with your muscle car are completely different. When you get into the seret menu on your tivo there is nothing to affect anyone else, you are the only one to get hurt since you are the one who just voided your warrenty. If you take the muffler off you mustang you piss of the neighbours and everyone else on your block.
this is why i use alternatives to paypal whenever possible. ZMy god, steal from people who are putting out such great software for free. They obviously have a knowledge of computers, so they obviously know how great abiword is. Why would someone steal from a non profit organisation
I think Canada deserves to be fifth, the freedom of the press isn't lessened any by the fact that the guy who owns the newspaper is anal retentive. The point is that the government had nothing to do with it
When Izzy Asper (Spelling) fired the editor of the Toronto sun (I think it is that newspaper) for printing an editorial calling for the resignation of Jean Cretien (Canadas Prime Minister) the government had nothing to do with it. As a result all of the major TV channels, radio stations, newspapers, which were not owned by mr Asper immediately began questioning the desition. Never was the editor silenced, in fact he got more attention than he ever had in his life, and got to present his view many times, and have it debated. That is freedom of the press

Kind of threw me off there "BMG Stops Producing CDs" hmm so where is all htier money going to come from :p

FINALLY, the biggest reason why i dont' use debian is its installer. Make a mistake and you get to restart everything
flatscreens havea higher price than CRT's and lower quality. Until they can bridge the price/quality gap there is no way they can compete
