Yeah, but like I said the M-16 just works. We should upgrade the M-16 service-wide to the M-4. That would be hell of a lot better for the grunt on the ground.
The Army has some weird ideas. From COO to the MOLLE replacement that the Marine Corps is fielding since the Molle gear is worthless. Seriously, combat gear that you need a video and a book to put together? The M-16 works. We should keep the M-16 and save our money for training and maybe even better benefits for servicemen.
This is offtopic kind of but there is a HUGE difference between a geForce 4 MX model and a geForce 4 ti like mine. He was getting only 200-2100? Here's a cut and paste from Redhat 8.0 on a ti 4200 running on an Athlon 1.33. Is there such a simple and easy to use and free benchmarking utility for Windows?

Apparently Sun has huge cash reserves but they can't seem to make up their minds on what to do about Open Source grabbing a chunk of their pie. The way I could see it they could:
1. keep on selling high end Unix for the datacenter and pray Windows Server 2003 doesn't make huge inroads and that Linux doesn't catch up too fast.
2. sell their own Linux distro for use on low end machines to emphasize that Solaris is the best for huge servers.
3. (my own suggestion) Either release the source code for Solaris or help the Linux kernel developers out w/ Sun's own coders and focus more on selling Linux and Unix services like IBM.
Before I get flamed for mentioning Windows Server 2003, remember eBay seems to make Windows 2000 work for them. Prbably no the best ROI however. Anyway, Sun's leadership seems confused right now.
Wait a minute... Things aren't right here. I thought the formula was fail miserably, give up, pout, and sue someone.
Not(gasp)suck it up, improve your product so that even Her Pickiness, Eugenia likes it and keep giving back to the community. This makes no sense at all.
Good job Mandrake.
Read this. The leader in your company should be the first to take on long hours, pay cuts, all of the worst jobs. Set the example for your employees and most importantly, do it with a smile on your face.
I've been in the Marines for about 8 years and I've never seen these. I've seen some Panasonic Toughbooks but nowadays all we use are Dell latitudes. Of course, the Air Force has infinitely more $$$ than the Corps.
Methinks this maybe more than even the Trolls of Slashdot can handle! Biggest troll topic ever? No to mention this will probably set off a few political discussions which open more troll topics. Think I'll refrain from reading the comments on this one:)
24 hours ago OSNews posted this. Now I'm not bitching; perhaps seeing articles like this is a subscriber's perk but if you're waiting on news of new releases of your favorite distro like I am, you're better off reading OSNews and saving your arguments for Slashdot.

Setting up DMA is easy. Just make a new/etc/sysconfig/hardiskwhateverletterourDVDdriveis and enter the appropriate hdparm entries. Check/etc/sysconfig/hardidsks for a sample file. DVD works just fine on my Redhat 8 laptop. Let me know here if you need help w/ this. Also, you can download and install an rpm that will give you support in Redhat for NTFS. Check Sourceforge for the Linux NTFS Project I believe.
It's not complacency. It's maintaining a uniform environment. It's having to run an OS that is certified by the DOD. So it's definitely not an attitude, it's how the military works.
So you don't know what you're talking about.
That was a Navy ship and it was Windows NT and it didn't "almost sink." In case you're not from the US, the Navy owns most of the military ships, definitely not the Marine Corps. We just ride on the ships. Here's a copy-n-paste for you:
Navy brass have called the Yorktown Smart Ship pilot a success in reducing manpower, maintenance and costs. The Navy began running shipboard applications under Microsoft Windows NT so that fewer sailors would be needed to control key ship functions.
But the Navy last fall learned a difficult lesson about automation: The very information technology on which the ships depend also makes them vulnerable. The Yorktown last September suffered a systems failure when bad data was fed into its computers during maneuvers off the coast of Cape Charles, Va.
The ship had to be towed into the Naval base at Norfolk, Va., because a database overflow caused its propulsion system to fail, according to Anthony DiGiorgio, a civilian engineer with the Atlantic Fleet Technical Support Center in Norfolk.
"We are putting equipment in the engine room that we cannot maintain and, when it fails, results in a critical failure," DiGiorgio said. It took two days of pierside maintenance to fix the problem.
The Yorktown has been towed into port after other systems failures, he said.
People talk a lot of shit on here about the feds but at least my employer (the Marine Corps) buys only Windows 2000. Much less hassle than XP and I am thankful for it.

I believe eBay's running 2000 at the datacenter but here's what their webserver is running

Funny, good plot that wasn't supid, and it had lots of violence. Awesome soundtrack, too.

Correction. ALL of the leadership in your company not just the leader should follow those guidelines. Sorry about that:)

OK, Moderators.... HOW IS THE PARENT NOT A TROLL? Maybe I'm missing something(scratching head)
This was reported last night on OSNews. What's with the 24 hour delay, editors?
Anyone know if 8.2 will support ACPI?
