Parent isn't actually much of a troll. I spent half a day trying to work out the magic incantation to get AWstats running on centos yesterday and SELINUX=disabled did the job very nicely!
Yeah, I know, IHBT, but I currently work on a java project (shared with Subversion) on Eclipse variously in Slowlaris, Ubuntu, RHEL and Windows NT 2000 without issue. We also have devs for our graphic designers working with eclipse on Macs (powerPC & intel). The dream of write once, run anywhere seems pretty alive to me matey.
Indeed. And getting it to work on a 1680x1050 WS took a fair bit of messing around. Half the messing around I would have had to do with any OS though - it turns out my (ancient) MOBO Intel graphics didn't work very well at this res.
Yeah - I've had that on my ACER - it has really made me jump during summer - sitting on the couch for a bit then move the laptop and catch one of the USB ports with a finger and ZAP. It hasn't appeared to have harmed the laptop though.
hurrah! Me too.
My acer laptop didn't even get to boot XP, so I've no idea as to how much crapware was preinstalled. I put ubuntu straight onto it first boot.
Wow, great link. Some of those really big magnets, the ones that say "THESE ARE DEFINATELY ___NOT___ TOYS DO NOT PUT THEM IN THE SAME ROOM AS ANY OTHER MAGNETS" look like absolutley fabulous toys!!
Well, I take it you've never tried to install the drivers for an HP Officejet G85. I must have spent days if not weeks of actual elapsed time installing these, uninstalling them, and installing them again, rebooting trying to find the right incantation that will make the damn thing work.
From the news stories that have been going round in the UK, it seems that its No 1. The police had the number of a car which was parked near the crime scene, and put it into the system. The system then logged all appearances of the car, and made tracking it simple.
The suspects they have picked up for this murder will be getting some pretty serious attention - the killing of a policeman in the UK is pretty rare, a policewoman rarer still. They will use everything they have to get someone charged.
yeah, great OS, once you install the GNU tools on it to make it usable. I've moved back from linux to solaris in the past few weeks, and nothing bloody works anymore.
df -h . # doesn't work
ls -lh # doesn't work
tar czf backup.tgz./foo # doesn't work - no gzip
its a bag of shite. Once they turn it into Linux, it'll be a real linux killer.
Wrong. You merge the files you need to, then you say "update all [the rest of] the files in this directory".
Its still an arseabout though. I've been running Gentoo for 2 years, but just had a go at SUSE9.3. Its brilliant! You just install it and it works right away!!;-)
I started using gentoo because I wanted to use 2.6 kernel and other features before the other distro's. Looks like they're a lot more up to date these days though.
Hee hee. Especially when you read the bit on bitmovers website about hosting the kernel sources...
All of this activity is hosted on a small relatively inexpensive PC. We build our own machines here and this one cost about $1500 in 2001; a similar rack mount machine would probably cost about $3000 today but be about 3 times faster. The fact that such an inexpensive machine can handle this level of activity underscores our message about total cost of ownership.
My wife went to the doctor the other day and said "Doctor, doctor I was in the shower this morning and my vagina was singing 'show me the way to amarillo'". The doctor said "Don't worry, luv, every c*nts singing that at the moment".
I killed a laptop with this - not on the keyboard, but knocked the cup over on the desk and capiliary action sucked it up through the little vent holes where it set to work on dissolving the tracks on the MB quicker than I could yank the battery out.
f you break American law (e.g. this one) and live in any country (like the UK) which has an extradition treaty with the USA you can be brought to America and charged with the crime.
Absolute Bollocks.
Extradition laws apply only to laws which are punishable with jail sentences > 1 year in both countries. Generally this means serious offences like murder, abduction etc.
Now, once the UK starts banging people up for swapping movies you may have a point...
You're right there - its such a fuck around to have a system that starts to behave badly because of bad ram then have to take it down while you test the memory.
Having tried to save money buying cheaper RAM I always go to crucial now - its not really much more expensive anyhow.

& the Java (on WebSphere) transaction system connected to this processes around a billion transactions per year. Some fricking toy.

Not any more, the canopy group ditched SCO some time back and its now owned by Ralph Yarro and a group of investment trusts AFAIK.

Where are my mod points where I need them!
Didn't AOL PUBLISH this a few months ago?
Not true
I've scripted (without GUI) installation of DB2, Websphere & Orrible no problemo just by reading the fine manual. You could too.
Does the uncyclopedia get vandalised by people correcting the jokes with facts?

Nope, you won't hear the Open Source "who needs that many rows,".
But how about the Open Source "If you don't like it go change it yourself, make it work and submit a patch".
Having said that, it probably won't be as simple as
s/#define MAX_ROWS 65536/#define MAX_ROWS 1048576/
but good luck!

Didn't stop their server melting though did it?
And how about offloading SSL computation to SPEs too. For a web server these could actually be pretty neat.

These things are connected to the internet?
Indeed. The article was a bit too Dan Brown really.
