See this is why it pays to listen to that booring lecture:P
many people in other parts of the world lack these "basements" you speak of. where can i buy one for myself???/sarcasm
and the other factor is space. not everyones got room to dedicate to a closet. hell i need to find a Rack for a 6U server i have and you have NO idea how hard that is when you actualy try... it always more expensive when you actualy try it.

Trust me on this point. the current non Vista POSIX is still crippled. I havent been arsed to check the beta out since i only get 10 gig a month *gives the finger to his ISP* but if someone that has could confirm it has/hasnt yet had the full functionality they claim to be delivering for 2k3 server R2 et. all. that would be appreciated.
Untill that implementation comes through its going to be very tough to get a drop and go stle thing going at all. the closest is CoLinux and thats got an utterly arcane networking step.
speaking of poisons... boron is a fission inhibitor by virtue of being a newutron absorber... aka a reaction poison.
modern reactor emergency shutdown systems are usualy designed to drown the reactor core in boron to end the chain reaction immediately in the event of an "un-requested fission surplus"

MS would either become a web services company. or a Linux vendor before they died, theyre too big to just disapear so simply... theyll find a way, even if its by Forking a BSD to build a 100% linux compatible system or something... they could do it with their resources.
except thats "direct democracy" which doesnt work in anyhting beyond small numbers, the city state of athens was goverend that way, voluntary direct democracy, cept people actualy cared and got involved unlike "democracy" now... and technicaly its not democracy in the USA its a republic, 'voting for the people who you want to vote for you'
wow, when did Wikipedia add this neat feature to their system. dont tell me they have a trained monkey to do it... cause i want that monkey now damn it.
what about us down under? its not going to cost THAT much to ship the stinking prize down here is it... you can ship to EU but cant be stuffed Shipping to AUS... im almost tempted to go try opera isntead of the 1.5 RC like i was intending to do tonight...
abolutely not daft at all. They have a highly stringent policy on cheating and they go to great lengths to stop it (you know, their own rootkit/Warden type thing to do the job)
Sony's CDs are enabling people to breach this, theyre also a compeditor to Blizzard,
Id call it illegal anticompeditive practices myself. How about you... (remember, it may not be deliberate, but any reason to sue over this is good id say)
why can i never be part of these lawsuits damn it... curse not living in california, land of the lawyers.

no he was talking mainly about the next implementation of USFW that is FULLY Posix compliant in the way that USFW never was realy and that made Cygwin the far better choice. This next one is a big leap and its one of the things im eager to investigate abotu Vista. combined with their new "modular focus" and total rebuild... this could be very interesting to play with.
As a proponent of the Gentoo "Portaris" that has fallen stagnant im pretty much just pissed off that this has happened now.
Not the least cause it wasnt my favourite distro first.
Mostly because this explains why after the main talent behind the project provided explanations of how Debian reacted when they were called to comment about this earlier, ( the response was a poliite form of "fuck you and your CCDL licence you non GNU shitheads" ) they have dont a backflip and now they ARE doing it... well i still hate Debian... not only for being too GNU for their own good. but for being egotistical, and Now hypocritical backflippers.
Hopefuly this shames/motivates the portaris project back into life.
Id like to point out that the GNU userland is guilty of "embrace, extend, evicerate" maneuvers like MS is. all you GNU'ers out there anser without flaming why its so good that it should be co opted onto every system in order to make them more linux like, instead of the software for linux being built to function across kernels where possible.
HTML & server side scripting are another form of "dumb terminal", Hands up if you use a remote X session to a server for something, ditto VNC or NX
AND suns sunray thin client workstations are works of F***ing art damn it, they can pull more central server based tricks with those than any company buying them could ever want id. there are people that want these kinds of machines because it IS cheaper for them. If you are working on a number of platforms simultaneously with a number of groups/projects, its simpler to deal with one central server (real or virtual) for each reasonably sized team and platform they need and give them all their necessary enviroments. When the projects over theres only one machine to wipe and reinstall, not 10 or 20. They arent for everyone but they arent the rejected has beens you make them out to be.
Above all. the remote software pardigim is becoming more useful to the end users only now, while there has always been a set of proffessionals and technical types making use of it in various forms.

I just hope it kicks google to counter it, and revamp their now becoming stale personalised google.com/ig page design.

clearly you havent seen the released footage so far of this upcoming Zelda title. If you had yould be less inclined to belive that.
Also i doubt your a nintendo Gamecube owner, theyre far more likely to shell for ANY title than other console owners due to a generaly smaller/higher quality range of games, with something like the new Zelda offering a seriously worthwile purchase new console or not. Nintendos gamecube has been slowly squeezing more and more out of it towards release of the Revoloution. look at the graphical progression in quality in the last 2 years and youll see quite a hike up. Also as a nice bonus to game devs the Rev is TOTALY backwards compatible. As in PC game style, you know, Old games just run faster, etc. So their Nintendo Gamecube dev kits, only need an update (saves dev costs for nintendo) or can just be kept since they can make a good game on it anyway and it will work.
On a side note id like to point out that GameCube Linux is getting good progression to being able to do useful things, and id say budding homebrew game devs should think about investigating it seriously since it will be forwards compatible to revoloution by way of revoloutions backwards compatibility. So i cant wait till i can use a Rev as a Media Center front end... Its the perfect size, and that blacks so stylish.

Im hoping to use an MMO to get mine into gaming and quite happily spend the time next to her, with her playing it :)
:)
And it will make solidly kicking ass online next to her all the more fun if she gets shared exp from it too
If your trying to impress hotties on WoW then your about 3.5 inches away from being terminaly socialy retarded.

Obviously you dont own a 6U Alphaserver 2100 RM
it weighs 54 kilos standard, the average wood DIY rack aint gonna cut it for this baby.
hahaha its like revenge of the nerds... but these guys look WORSE!
number one reason im going to be trying hard to foster an interest in them (games) in mine (female companion) :P
wow... you got that to start with... and here im gonna have to teach mine all that stuff slowly :P
look at hiatchi laptop drives like the ones out of IBM (now lenovo *shudder*) laptops. You may find all those attirbutes you seek there.
