I very much agree. I am pretty well versed in userland apps and setting them up (samba, etc) yet CUPS was a pain in the ass, a real big pain in the ass.
Anytime I have to sit here and seriously think about what I have to install just is not right.
An additional complaint is that my HP960c still prints color like all-hell. I have to print over the network from my Win98 laptop if I really want to print some sort of color page if I want it to look at all like it should.
printtool worked wonders for my HP400 but not for this printer. Old printers aren't around anymore. We need some real support for some real printers:(
bah, I was around when MUDs were fairly popular. I never played one. Never. They did not appeal to me. The days of text gaming ended w/my Vic20 and the cartridge of Dracula's Dungeon.
Granted, I don't show off my GeForce4 b/c I don't own one (I don't play anything except Quake1CTF and due to extremely high ping times for some reason *cough* woh.rr.com *cough* I can't even do that).
But how the hell could you compare gaming of yester-millenium to games of today?
I am waiting for broadband GT3. Now that would be fucking sweet.
there is an amusement park where they have some old school carousel where the workers can hop on and off of it at full speed just by learning how to keep their balance.
w/skiis it would be obviously harder but the same idea could apply;)
I don't know why/. doesn't cache them already. It's not like it would be that difficult.
IIRC/. was one of the few sites I could actually reach during 9/11, it would make a lot more sense for them to implement this themselves to save other sites from the destruction of/. readers:)
b/c the microdrive is not really FLASH it is an actual HD in there it would probably not survive the pounding that running gives...
In a post a while back someone mentioned that they dropped their Microdrive from a height of about 4 ft onto a carpeted floor and it never worked again. I would suspect that long-term pounding from running would have much the same effect.
it also doesn't support any program that needs user space to run (ie DHCP and the like). He said it would not be good for those having dynamic setups (most users AFAIK).
it also comes w/a PCMCIA slot. You can get TWO microdrives in there then. The IBM drive comes w/a PCMCIA card that you can plug in to read it on laptop's or desktop's w/the PCI adapter.
XP will run on a shitload faster and more machines than Linux for the PS2.
I think what Sony is doing is great, don't get me wrong, but what the hell does XP have to do w/it?
I can only run it on a PS2, I need to get a ton of other hardware, and other than "dork value" even as an avid supporter of Linux I don't see the point.
maybe just disable the god damn button altogether for those of us that don't want to have it bumped during those insane times when I bash the analog sticks against my forehead.
And I wonder why people ask if I have a "large" zit problem.
Seriously that button always gets turned on and next thing I know the fucking Detriot Lions sack Warner. Umm, no.
* rfbdrake lets you easily perform a remote control of an X session. Helping your friends get started with linux has never been easier.
The fact that it really looks like XP frightens me. The fact that it notes that you can help your friends setup Linux from remotely also frightens me.
While this may not come as a default setting (as it best not) what happens if someone who is not all that saavy (isn't that what Mandrake is designed for?) turns it on and next thing you know we have some large security issues.
I like the fact that it has the option to install it minimally only taking up 65mb but you would lose all the fancy dancy shit wouldn't you? Isn't that what Mandrake is? All the bells and whistles?
It comes w/2.4.17, XFree 4.2 (which is very nice), and some other excellent utils.
I am having a hard time finding a job w/a History degree. Most of the *usual* paths that history grads take aren't for me. I am interested in research, writing, and application of too many hours of wasted computer skills:)
Anyone know of any paths History majors should take? Or should I just find a job that requires a degree and go w/that?

using CUPS, using Debian. Still looks like shit when it prints color.
print to the printer in color using Windows, then print again using Linux. Tell me what you see.
I very much agree. I am pretty well versed in userland apps and setting them up (samba, etc) yet CUPS was a pain in the ass, a real big pain in the ass.

very very nice. I look forward to it.

Not terribly impressed w/GT3's handling but I assume that will improve in GT4.
I have been playing GT1 for years, just got GT3 this past December. I will patiently wait for GT4
or.. they could become better than those w/the cheats. Like people who use bots in Quake yet players still beat them.
Just takes time and skill.

Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson know this first hand. They should have asked them for some research material.
they also don't have the knowledge, time, or desire to put it on their computers.

AOL was something that (in theory) could be removed.
you put Linux on there, you can't just click "Uninstall" and have it go away.
Just what we need, 50,000 pissed off people killing all the penguins in sight b/c we are wasting 5.0G of their precious MP3 space.
I don't think it would be a good idea at all. Put the money into commercials supporting Linux (like Good Morning America for LUG's).
That's my worthless

no, that's the degree I have and the minor I have. I need a job. Give it to me please!
History degree w/a CS minor?
How about a dork that collects stupid old computers b/c he has no money to buy up-to-date fast ones?
Please?

Sounds nice.
I used to use it on a 386SX-16 for running a BBS. The footprint was a lot less than Win3.11 and it ran reasonably well on that machine w/5mb of RAM.
/X meant nothing to me. It just looked cool when the user would login and see the OS listed as Desqview/X ;)
