For most of the pci-based alphas, most of the major manufacturers are supported in XFree86 4.0, though there are a few buggy drivers, (*cough* mga *cough*) this has nothing to do with whether the machine will accept it or not. the boards run whatever 'vga bios' and then run their own firmware underneath it. (and for the guy three posts down, alphas do NOT run OpenFirmware, they run SRM, ARC, or AlphaBios)
If I remember properly, Compaq was giving out free copies of the DEC C Compiler for Linux a while back, I don't know if they still are. I have the set and they scream on my 533 21164a.
yes, your 450 is too slow. the test machine ran at that speed. an oc'ed celeron at 540 worked remarkably better. (and if you're curious, i was around for most of icefox's experimentation.)
its not that the linux crowd is 'late', it is that we arent given the opportunity to take advantage of the information.
>The reason vending machines have the Tipping/Rocking warning message on them is that people tip and rock vending machines to steal product out of the machine. Supposedly (urban legend??) this worked at some time in the past.
It does, havent you ever gotten your chips stuck in the machine and tipped them to get them out? ;-)
I see no reason why there should be such a huge distinction between childhood and adulthood. myself, i left home at fifteen to go away to college, and have dealt with the most inane of stigmas if someone knew my age. (i have been assumed older for years now.)
you want an answer as to what 'the children' want? we want out of this hysteria of 'we must be protected'. i graduated high school a year ago and my i'm glad for the timing, cause there is no way in hell i could stand being a minor now.
what about situations where a 17 year old is in college, like many of us 'more intelligent' types are?
pardon my messy \n's, my webbrowser is running on digital unix. ar this is all maddening. a good friend of mine said to me yesterday, "I get carded to see American Pie, but i can buy ammo at K-mart with no id. This country is just f*cked up."
all they're doing is embarrassing themselves, and teaching us to download our movies.
hear hear... we americans seem to have the delusion ingrained into us that cartoons are merely for kids... that seems to be why anime fails so badly on our side of the pond... many people wont even give it a look because they think cartoons are only for kids.
>Besides, after reading several interviews with RMS, he strikes me as a highly hostile and disagreeable person, out to alienate the interviewer regardless of his/her intentions. How do you expect a guy like that to advance any cause whatsoever?
try actually talking to the man. you'll find he isnt hostile, actually rather calm, though he do has a tendency to rant/preach a bit, as do many people. he is an incredibly intelligent person that is dedicated to his cause.
just my.02 from a conversation with him last year.
hmmm... ownership is different from credit, which as i remember, is what RMS is after. at least thats what i remember him talking about last, on the issues of GNU/Linux.

I noted that ESR's title was 'show' them the code, rather than 'give' them the code. subtle wordings can mean a lot, y'know?

bingo. its not about linux. its about freedom.
