    gcc 3.3 with glibc

  2. Re:Excuse the ignorance... on SCO Drops Linux, Says Current Vendors May Be Liable · · Score: 0

    They didn't write it, but they did distribute it under the terms of the GPL. After doing that, all of their code and IP that was in their distribution should theoreticlly be under the GPL.

    Even if they do have these patents on the IP stuff, woul they be irrellevent since they've gone undefended so long?

  3. Don't do it! on The Matrix Online Announced · · Score: 0

    They want us to join some virtual world that takes place inside some kind of big computer. Something isn't right here. It's a trap.

  4. Re:I remember on Multiplayer Shooters For Modems And Slow PCs? · · Score: 1

    Quake over my 28.8k dial-up wasn't too bad, and it ran okay on me pentium 120.

  5. Re:This is a pleasant surprise. on Verizon To Offer WiFi At Pay Phones · · Score: 1

    It sounds good in theory, but I don't see that many pay phones any more.

    Try it in IE, and all you get is a blue screen. I guess the browser wars live on.

    Why would a website clear your cache?

  8. Re:Hmm on Pac-Man Back At E3, Courtesy Miyamoto? · · Score: 1

    While it may not satisfy blood thirsty UT2K3 gamers, it does look like a rather fun game. While it may not win some kind of game of the year award, it should at least be fun to play with your friends when endless LAN party slaughter become boring.

  9. Re:Marketing mantra on TiVo Basic · · Score: 1

    How is this basic service much different from a PVR that you can build yourself?

  10. Re:Just bought 3 of 'em on Still Life in the Apple II Community · · Score: 1

    I'll trade you three SEs, a plus, an ImageWriter II, and two EGA monitors for an LC or Quadra. Or I'd take one off your hands.

  11. Re:Please explain... on Build Your Own Mac With CoreCrib Kit · · Score: 1

    Now days you can often find cheap PCs on the internet for the same price of cheaper than you can build it yourself. I was going to build my own PC, but then I started looking at some online retailers on pricewatch. After adding up the cost for the parts I'd need, the computer online was just slightly cheaper, and after I tallied up shipping on the individual parts verses the shipping of the completed PC, it became even cheaper. Although I guess I was taking abit of a risk going with a non name retailer, but it all worked out fine.

  12. Re:In my day... on MS Says Longhorn To Arrive 2005 · · Score: 1

    Well if Linux users need FAT32, I'm sure they'll keep it around. Besides NTFS support is coming along, and should have good writing capabilities by 2005, and they will probably still offer at least that.

    Slackware that boots staight into Emacs. Thats all they'll ever need.

    The Gx naming is Apple's own marketing scheme.

  16. Re:Err, dual processors? on Preliminary OS X & PPC 970 Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    Where the hell did you get that from?

    These will be much more scalable than the the G4s. IBM wouldn't be planning to put these in their blade servers it they didn't support multiprocessing. They are even based on the POWER4.

  17. Re:Altivec? on Preliminary OS X & PPC 970 Benchmarks · · Score: 5, Informative

    IBMs vecotor processer is Altivec compatible. Apple calls it velocity engine. I think they just called it altivec since some people wouldn't know that Altivec is just Motorolla's name for their vector processor. When these things are in Macs, apple will probably call them G5s with velocity engine, even though they will be fourth generation(or second if you count how long they've been 64-bit) chip and not the exact same thing that was velocity engine.

  18. Re:Pot calling the kettle black on Preliminary OS X & PPC 970 Benchmarks · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well MacRumors doesn't really release its own stories that often. Most of the time they just post links to sites like MacBidouille and tell you to take it with a grain(or barrel) of salt.

  19. Re:"Closed Architecture"...My Eye on Michael Robertson of Lindows Responds · · Score: 1

    Microsoft wants you to have to pay them to make software for their platform. Lindow's Click-n-Run is more of an online store which you can use if you want to and make things easier. It would be very easy to compile your binaries to integrate with Lindows and install with out click-n-run.

    OF course Microsoft wants to own the server room, and the living room, and every other room, but they don't yet.

    I guess Java makes it that much more appealing to IBM, since they are already trying to wrestle control of Java away from Sun.

    Well people aren't in just a big rush to roll out .net clients.
    Where did you come up with Microsoft owning the server room?

    Then again, since ratings are down, try a proven formula: Have Archer shave his head, grow a beard, and bring in Worf!

    That is about when I started to find DS9 interesting, it might just work.
