Wow, I'm really impressed. Finally I can use KMail both at home in GUI mode, and check from work via Telnet. Before I had to just do webmail from work, with the setting so that it didn't delete mail from the server, so I'd still get all my mail on KMail when I get home.
Gotta say, great April fools post - I almost didn't download the source after reading that, thinking the whole thing was a joke. But it works good, damn good. Although I think I'll stick to Lynx if I want to do text-mode browsing. The ASCII graphics is cool, but the actual usable interface is a bit clunky.
Good job to the coders of qtconsole - Having great fun trying all kinds of apps with it!!
Amen brother! Sure, it'll work. But I don't see the point in using a Marginalized OS. Could possibly use Solaris 8i as well (Maybe, I've no idea on the requirements for that...)
And, moderators, this is on THREAD topic, even through quite removed from the _original_ topic, but still related via the thread that broke out here. So be nice to the people replying to this thread.:)
And I did get asked this question: What's with the.asp files (/ROTFOH and/MessageBase)??
Those, I am simply using Apache's proxy module to reverse proxy to an NT server on the network, so the NT box (a 233 Mhz Pentium I with 128 megs RAM) is doing most of the work on those.
Sorry, didn't mean to deceive anyone. Everything else besides those two directories/apps is running 100% on the 386.
Damn! I'm nearly getting slashdotted!:) I guess my girlfriend is really attracting a lot of interest!:)
The poor 386 is swapping to death, but seems to be still keeping up.:) Nearly 2000 hits since I posted that! Even hits from.au!! Pretty cool. How's the performance from outside my local network? Slower than molasses, or OK? OK for a normal server or just OK for a 386? I know the MUD is way fast, some very efficient code, but not sure of the rest.
Last month, I spent about three days on a project where I was DETERMINED to get Linux running on my old 386sx/25 Mhz box. It was a total bitch!
But - I succeeded!
This poor box, with all of 16 megs RAM (and a kick-ass swap file!) is now running:
- A CircleMUD-based MUD (telnet klomdark.servebeer.com port 4000)
- A Citadel BBS (telnet to klomdark.servebeer.com)
- Apache (With some cool stuff listed here...)
- A Mailserver (both SMTP and POP3) (Email me...)
It CAN be done, but this distribution would have sure come in handy! But, an old copy of RedHat 7.0/i386 worked just fine, once I actually located an ISA network card that it knew how to deal with:) )
Insane installation - took nearly 16 hours to install it. Nearly 4 hours to compile Apache. Probably 8 hours to compile Citadel, and another 8 to compile CircleMUD. (I would have thought Apache would take the longest...)
Those things are generally the scummiest things out there. Some fuck gets a government grant to "help people" with some thing, say $500,000 for a three year project, the main scurve pays himself $100,000 a year out of that money leaving $200,000 left. Enough for office rent, pseudo-advertising (aka CYA money), a couple computers, and probably a bunch of coke in the meantime.
If I ever license anything like that, it's going to exclude both corporate and little scum-sucking "legally" not for profit "organizations" as well. Only truly for "no gain usage"
Remember the whole story about the _other_ rings: Power given to the leaders, to control their people. Of course, the leaders took the rings out of their personal greed. Sauron completely takes them, as he is able to control all the other rings, and holders of those rings, with the ONE RING.
Sounds just like it: Here, use these beautiful new "rings" (.NET), and all will be good. At least until I use my super-powers to control you when you least expect it.
He was asked to speak at a national convention of cloning scientists. The meeting room was located on the 45th floor of a New York skyscraper.
The scientist arrived with his clone and proceeded to the podium. The clone sat at the end of the head table. The scientist began the speech intending a tribute to the advances in the field of modern biology.
"My fellow scientists," he began. But before he could utter another word, the clone sprang to his feet and shouted out, "he's an ASSHOLE!". The crowd began to murmur as the scientist commanded the clone to "sit down and shut-up!". Apologizing for the interruption, the scientist began again, "My fellow scientists,". Again the clone sprang to his feet and yelled, "this dumb ASS couldn't produce a copy on a Xerox. He's a fraudulent
SON-OF-A-BITCH!".
Incensed, the scientist rushed to the clone, grabbed him, and threw him out of the window.
The crowd gasped and security rushed into the room. A short while later New York's finest arrived and were explained the events that had transpired.
The police chief said to the scientist, "We are going to have to arrest you." The scientist replied, "For what? I have committed no crime. What fell from the window was a clone, not a person.". The attending scientists nodded in agreement. "Well," retorted the police chief, "we can not let this heinous act go unchallenged.".
The police chief thought for a moment and ordered the scientist held for "Making an obscene clone fall..."
WTF? Your dumb little rant on the GPL is retarded. The GPL only states that you have to distribute the code if you distribute your binaries. If you do an in-house code change, and never distribute that change, you DO NOT have to distribute your source code.
Porsche hasn't made a cool car since they phased out the 924/928/944 type cars. (The sleek style like the Porsche in Rishy Business) Boxters look, well, like a box. The 911's are almost cool, but too Eurotrash looking.
I've got this old full-tower AT form factor case that I'd love to be able to put in an AT motherboard that would handle an Athlon processor. I don't want to mangle the case.
Is there anyone out there making "high speed" AT mobos?
With the next StarOffice/OpenOffice outputting files in native XML, I expect/hope to see the typical document format standardizing on fully interchangable XML in the next few years.
Right now there is not an _implemented_ solution out. But once things start going XML, I think even general users will demand it.
Once the new StarOffice comes out, I am going to start sending all document attachments to people in XML format. If Word wont deal with them, then hopefully the general user population will start forcing Microsoft to 'innovate' in that direction.
And it sucks ass, big time. Ugly, intensely slow even with 640 megs of RAM.
When this was first discussed months ago on./, I was really excited by the description, and spent a lot of time trying to get a copy from the/.-ed servers. I installed it, watched it crawl insanely (Like 30 seconds to resize a window), and laughed, wondering if this was some kind of a joke.
Best thing that happened, was it got me looking around for a Java IDE, and discovered that NetBeans had gotten infinitely better since the last time I had looked at it. I've been using it ever since. NetBeans smokes it.

The Euro
·
· Score: 1, Flamebait
Time goes on. Economies rise and fall, or at least cycle. The Euro economy will go through a low part of the cycle, or a depression-type thing, and all of Europe will be down.
Before, it was just Germany, or Italy, or France, that could be having a bad economic time at a certain snapshot of history. Sure, usually the European economies follow each other pretty much, but not always. However, with all countries linked at their core by the Euro - ALL European countries (That use the Euro anyway) will be in a depression at the same time. Hard to recover from.
I think it's a really stupid idea, and will end in tears or war. And this is coming from someone who is really not affected by this, as I live in the United States. But you people in Europe should really be careful, your government, or the Euro-people, somebody anyway, is really pulling the wool over your eyes when it comes to the long term prospects for the European economy. Dangerous experiment, have fun!

Linux, baby, all the way...
Depends on which picture you are looking at.

Yes, the prom picture is 1985.
The Pretty Woman shirt one is about 1992.
The blue shirt one is about 1994.
The "revealing" white shirt ones are about 1997.
The straw hat ones are about 1999.

So, what's the best way to pull out some 401k money due to unemployment? It's starting to look like I'm going to have to do something like that.
Is there a tax penalty in the case of unemployment?
Never thought I'd be pulling money out before retirment, but...
