Like all other Linux fanatics, his box at home has a 120 gig HDD, with 110 gigs partitioned in NTFS for WinXP, which he swears is "just for games", and the rest is a token Linux install.
Wow, you just described the exact opposite of what you meant! MY laptop alone has a 40 gig drive that is broken down to
10gb WinXP
500 mb Linux Swap
6bg Fedora
6gb Mandrake
5gb Gentoo
12gb/usr/local/games
And I use Mandrake more then WinXP, which has been twice! Really think 10gb was too much to give it... all given values are an estimate and I am not to be held responsible for any calculation errors (I blame the hard drive manufacture for not using real values to begin with)
There has been lots of talk that Fedora is just a testing ground for the software that goes into RHEL. Leaving the packages that go into Fedora is a state of 'beta-test-limbo' and once the bugs are hammered out, only then will they be moved into RHEL. How true is this?
"Why should code submitted randomly by some hacker in China and distributed by some open source project, why is that, by definition, better?"
Ummm, because we can look at it before we install it instead of just 'trusting' someone that it is good?
And just how much code comes out of China anyway!?
As much as I dislike Microsoft and their products, I don't think they'd be so foolish as to let something like a web browser execute shell scripts without restrictions.
But Windows needs to make it as "Accessed" so it needs to do some writing =P
But don't worry, there are still plenty of very bad driver writers just itching for a chance to corrupt the registry for you!
It's called "make menuconfig" =)
Of course I admit it would be cool to be able to tweak the current running kernel from within the kernel itself AND be able to integrate the rest of the system in there...hmmm, I see a new sourceforge project starting soon =)
Neato! Microsoft is remaking BASH!
I will only be impressed if it uses blue for my directories and green for my executables...but I guess then everything would be green in MS, eh?
Oh and tab completition, it's worthless without tab completition!
Would you ask to just buy one scene of a DVD and expect a discount?
Isn't that what porn is? One scene cut from a terrible movie to save you the torture and get right to the good part? =)
Dang, I just killed my own argument!
Then the "artist" you purchased sucks and will have a crappy follow up album if at all.
Seriously, if there are only a couple 'good songs' on an album that tells you something about the person/people that made it and their future...
Fighting to stifle one-hit-wonders before they happen!
Considering the core lasts about 30 years, I don't see anyone walking in and plucking the core out of the plant...not without a serious case of death that is
Ditto, that's why I got the GBA->GC Player, I can use all of my Gameboy games from the original Tetris on the first GB to Wario Ware, Inc and Worms World Party
With this adapter I would only be able to use the GBA games, which rules out most of my GameBoy games...not worth it to someone who has been playing Nintindo since Donkey Kong hit the arcades...
My daughter (5, will be 6 in January) wanted to play on the orginal GameBoy I have, you know the green screen one =) I think she likes Tetris and Kirbys Pinball better on it then on the GBA =)

Probably still bitter that SCO canceled Calandra...
As long as Bob Page and Walter Simmons stays out of it I'll be content...

We all already know, Video Killed the Radio Star...
There's nothing like being locked out of your own old family videos when your current VCR dies, eh?
No problem! All my old Home Videos are on BetaMAX!
I'm sorry, I work in IT in the U.S. What is this "overtime" of which you speak?
One of those foreign mythical events, very simular to a "bonus"
Have you ever looked at the code before you installed something? or did you just rpm it or make ; make install?
;-)
If it's coming from an unknown/untrusted source, yes.
If it's coming from little people like kernel.org or mysql.com, no.
And how about you Mr. Anonymous Coward? Why are you hiding?
Ummm, because we can look at it before we install it instead of just 'trusting' someone that it is good?

I thought everyone used Crays as personal computers and that I was poor, stuck with a $2000 PC...
phew! Thanks for clearing that up!
If you consider the last 'update' was 2 years ago...yes, it's still around and 'lives'
How can a million file deleters be wrong? Delete all YOUR mp3s now!
If you don't all the kids at school are going to make fun of you!
I always got a kick out of the "I have Linux 9 and need some help!"
MS is still saying that ActiveX is the future...
But Windows needs to make it as "Accessed" so it needs to do some writing =P

Sorry, I stand corrected...it's an Alpha with Beta appearance
But 3 years to polish off what is now in beta?
Who does MS think they are...Debian?!
