I can see where this would be a problem... Ebay has had me addicted for the past 6 months. I have been trying to save some money and get some used tape decks off there (Nakamichi)... I spend most of my freetime checking the time left and how much the bidding goes up. I get really pissed off when someone *dares* outbid me on an auction. I get annoyed when there are no pics, and reserves. It is just the Internet I try to tell myself, but the Ebay in my takes over, and back to staring at the time tick away I go.
A sad existence perhaps, but just another pitfall in the Internet world...
But this species did exist 133 years ago... It isn't like the world changes so drastically in 133 that the animal wouldn't survive...
The one question I have to ask is why? Why do we need to bring this animal back into existance when they describe it as "an alley dog". Why not bring back some of the supposed beautiful creatures of the past?
I remember a post a ways back about Burlington moving everything to a Linux based system... Weren't they around 5k machines? A positive result there may give GM and other large corps the news they need to show that Linux can be deployed in a large system...
I look at the space-program of the 60's -> 80's as another side shoot of the cold war. Look what we can do -- we can do it better and faster. Now that most of that competition is over, we are looking for other ways to waste money...
The space station may be a way to explore future residence in space, but I really don't think that we will come to need that in the next 50 years.
Spend the money on education and schools. We have enough under educated people that need a college education. Stop the bullshit and get kids in school!
If you weren't a coward, and posted w/a user, then we would be able to go somewhere w/this... But of course, just like the rest of the fags that play quake, hide behind fake names... Come out and show yourself...
I don't think that they would ever even think of attempting this... Look at the possible ramifications:
1. People see that MS has thought that a Un*x based OS is more stable than NT and flock to other (non-MS based) Unices b/c if NT isn't good enough, "MSnix" wouldn't be either.
2. If they do, NT will fail, and since MS's basic future plan is to run the world on Win2k+ and this will lead to the eventual demise of MS!
3. Someone mentioned in another article that MS will just make all the libs incompatible... That would be ridiculous. That wouldn't stop the non-MS Linux users. They would find a work around and make "MSLinux Is Not Linux";-) and we would again be running the "standard" applications... Plus, I really don't think that having proprietary libs would do them any good, too many new applications would need to be written.
Firstly, I don't need a multiuser operating system for my PDA. Why waste precious space with useless code? The same goes for other great Linux features.
Most people don't. Linux for the PalmPilot/etc, isn't to *run* Linux on it. It is to show that Linux *can* be ported to nearly any device w/o extreme amounts of trouble. It is just to do it, not to actually use it for something useful.
As far as having another OS for PDA's... I really don't see the need. PalmOS runs REALLY well, really FAST, and does EVERYTHING everyone wants it to do.
I really don't understand the point of having "high-speed Internet Access" on a PDA. I have a desktop, I have a laptop, I goto a college, I can check my email from anywhere. Unless they are going to get it to hook up to the wireless microwave T1's in Phoenix, I don't see the point...
It has to be something w/kids. The Grateful Dead had a following much like/. does... They were "Deadheads" as all of you probably know... In the late 80's and 90's, "kids" started frequenting the shows and were there basically to raise hell and take drugs...
These "kids" became known as "Darkheads". They ruined what the Grateful Dead were all about. If we continue on this pace, the Linux community in general (a group of fun loving nerds that want nothing else but to help out the newbies, and move Linux furthur into the future). The media always looked down on the GD for these Darkhead-caused riots, and gave really bad press... We don't need that same kinda deal going on here.
From now on, if you really feel that you need to be a troll, email yourself, it may make you feel better. Remember, a good portion of us don't really read the 0-rated posts as it is.
finally, my first distrib, going to be based on glibc. No more fighting to get things to work (as w/3.4 and whatnot). I may still move to Debian (to stick w/the same init script type), but at least now I may be able to feel some Linux nostalgia:)
I have been running a BP6 w/dual 400mhz Celerons for about 4 weeks now. No overclocking here (I have tested the CPU's running at a high FSB) but not for any length.
The machine has been running fine, no problems that I can see.
I have compiled the kernel several times, along w/Wine, etc etc... No problems, and it is fast:)
"Over 100 souls and their families are having their lives torn asunder because they did a great job and made NT on Alpha the only alternative to Intel's monopoly."
We are talking about NT here. The "Microsoft Monopoly". Like they can't go and work for some other company and make good money? They have a good understanding of alternative architectures and NT. Why not just move on, maybe work on getting NT to work smoothly w/Merced (another 64 bit processor)?
If the guys would up my rating you may have been more likely to read my UDB information page that I posted...
Linux (and apparently fBSD) will not install w/o the default configuration of 24mb of ram. It will just fail on your MILO boot. I use 32mb of ram, and I know that works for sure. I know someone that had purchased a Multia new way back and it has the default 24mb and his installs as well.
I have a nice little UDB sitting next to me. You can see a picture of it here and I also have some information on my experience w/installing RH 5.2 on it here They are a great machine and cheap. Get one just to say "I have an Alpha":)
Impossible? Never is anything impossible... The thing is why would we want to have Winmodem support? So it can make Linux as crappy as Windows? PNP support doesn't mean Winmodems man:) Just support for the devices so we don't have to do ISAPNP config files hehe
Unfortunatly you can't quit your job for welfare, but it is an idea... Then we will really truly be a communist country where everyone is paying for everyone else and no one is really working...

a flamebait is normally a flame (like you did to me), or someone being completely offtopic and being stupid.
My opinion is not a reason for me to become a flamebait.
It wasn't flamebait... They have very localised ecosystems, but they still can adapt, especially if they were raised in the new enviornment...

Problem here is that it isn't causing you any clutter. A couple extra lines isn't going to kill you. If you really don't like it, don't read it.

Yeah miniture toasters ;-) I like toast.
Time to get a grip. Why support broken hardware? Nuff said.

uhh, no on both accounts...

A Dell Latitude, and it is E... I run Linux fools
yeah, heeh lol, sorry, I forgot to mention that :) It is a nice piece of information to have ;) Thanks :)
that pic link is umm here

great point. The developers should notice the trend... Hopefully SBLive will get some SMP support. That would be premier :)
Looks like Linux is turning out to be quite a viable platform for gaming. I am quite excited... The screenshots look beautiful.

I just can't wait to get me my Dual 400 w/the voodoo3 for Q3
