We all know microsoft has alot of money.
Why dont they just send out a s*** load of Patch CD's just like what AOL does.
Also keep a numbering system on the CD's that any moron can keep track of.
Hell im sure you could get away with putting them in common places.. like bestbuy, wallmart, Safeway, etc.
Well I hope this ver doesnt crap out like the 3.6 ver did on my laptop. But the 3.6 ver worked at my school as per the 3.7 doesnt. Weird networking issue.
1: Most windows users think its some kind of toy or fancy game console. no joke. Security to them is locking the front door if you know what I mean. Some of these people time to time MIGHT see something on TV about viruses, but other then that, they have no idea about patches. The flip side to that is the people the see the AOL tv ad's. I feel really sorry form them, and for us that have to fix there computer afterwords.
2: Most of the "UNIX" community respects one another, and doesn't want to trash someone else's box "just for the fun of it". That and its a lot harder to "hack" it because there is a lot more of a diverse range of programs and version of those programs. The attack might only work for one version, but there is only a small percentage of computers out there that even run that version.
I've been using Gentoo Linux for 8 months now.
I would just like to say that it made me switch from Windows XP Pro to Linux.
I've used other linux distros over the past few years, but never really took linux to heart. I was able to compile programs and somewhat work with it and got around ok.
The linux distros that I did were binary based systems, just a simple point and click option. This didn't teach me anything, when I did try to build my own app and "make install" it, most of the time it didn't work or broke another application. There is another point.
When you build a app you have compile options "./configure".
Lets take xchat for example. When you "install" xchat from a binary distro.. you get xchat, But with what options turned on or off? You have no idea what your getting besides the fact that its xchat.
Now with source based distros you have the option of turning on or off build options. Here is Gentoo's build options for xchat "debug ipv6 mmx nls perl python ssl tcltk xchatdccserver xchatnogtk xchattext" That is a lot of control over what you build.
Another big this is CFLAGS. These are very helpful for older systems, or you just want your programs to use every single feature of your 100-800$ cpu.
With Binary distros most compile for i686. OK.. does that mean that gcc will use "mmx mmx2, sse sse2, 3dmow" ??? You have no idea what kind of optimizations you're getting.
I know some Gentoo uses go all out on there CFLAGS, but from what I've notice it makes building the app a lot longer, it just makes gcc try more things to build the apps.
I my self use "-O2 -mcpu=pentium4 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -ffast-math"
I wouldn't call that "ricing" its just using all of what my system can do to make the apps run better.
And with Gentoo's emerge system, kind of hard to beat that. Yes apt-get is great, but there is alot of cool tricks that you can do with Gentoo's emerge system. http://gentoo-wiki.com/Emerge
Need help installing gentoo just ask around.
Or you can find me in the irc irc2.othersideirc.net #rantradio
If it wasnt for gentoo being so easy to setup, and working very very well, I would still be using Windows XP.
Ive made the switch to linux because of Gentoo.
My server, main box, and Laptop now run Gentoo.
The other Dist. (ex: SuSE, Mandrake) are for people that have no clue about there system or really know what there doing.
yes kismet is great and alot better then netstumbler. but you have to think about getting your damm wifi card to even work in *nix. Ive spent weeks trying to get my 2 working in linux, no luck yet.
NetStumbler is the only real way to go in Winblows. (yes im a linux guy, made the switch 2 months ago)
You must have been brain washed by M$ or something is really wrong with you.
Why I switched? : Runs better, doesnt crash, more/better security, you can do a LOT more with it. Most software I uesed in Winblows I would have had to payfor - linux most of it is free and works better.
rightnow: cpu 0% , ram 78MB , swap 0% (KDE with a bunch of stuff running) sure as hell cant do that with windows.
Na....
just move it under ground, so no one can bother them "at work".
lmfao
Thay wouldnt be able to tell the difference anyways... they have no idea whats really going on outside.
As a ex Enlisted US Air Force person, im very ashamed in my government.
I served this country for its freedoms and the rights of the people.
Now the government wants to take it all away bit by bit.
How much of the original constitution is there left? Really?
The government now has the right to spy on its own people, so much for privacy...
If we share knowledge, and its illegal now? (DMCA)
Are right to have guns are slowly being token away.
So much for freedoms of America, the thing I was fighting for in the service.
I don't know about you guys but im about ready to head to Canada.
Slashdot Mirror
Portage isnt just for compiling apps, you can have what ever you want in there. yes there is rpm's in portage.
ouch
This is news? Hell people, just look down for a sec and see for yourself.
Yes they could have all the updates on 1 CD Win and Office.
And yes since I use Linux, they would look good on my wall.
Im covering my wall with AOL cd's, one huge mirror.
We all know microsoft has alot of money. Why dont they just send out a s*** load of Patch CD's just like what AOL does.

Not when the file has something like this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
Its still broke
every other time its off.
Yes they do need to fix the ram issue.
Go back to RH little boy...
I was told from a few Gentoo users to just do it.
It doesnt hurt anything.
Someone needs to host this file.
Im getting 2.0kB/sec

Ive been saying to do that for years.
but thatz to easy, and cheep to do.... cant have that !

5 years down the road I can see this... .. very.
very said
