... someone eager to adhere to this BRAND NEW religion i just made up ?
There are four simple rules:
Who whom uses free software (esp unix oriented) is blessed.
Who whom uses a Micro$oft product commits a sin.
Help others with your Un*X and free software knowledge.
All other beliefs/holydays/whatever will be those of whatever other religion you use/like/want.
You can be an Un*Xolog Atheus, Un*Xolog Christian, Un*Xolog musulman, whatever...
But the cool part is when your PHB asks you to "edit this.doc file in Word" or "install NT on this server" you can say without lying: "I cannot, my religion prohibits it. Or do this company has something against my religion ???!!?!"
So, Linux, *BSD, Un*X fans, at the next census write Un*Xology in the forms.

ulimit DOES NOT FSCKIN' WORKS for Netscape and X.
I don't know why, but at least with the 2.2 kernel trying to 'ulimit' or/etc/limits the memory size of an user was disregarded by X and netscape.
The time and process limit work... but that's no use for an netscape gone beserk with malloc().
We want the successor to HP 200 LX - the BEST Jornada ever.
The 200LX was an 8Mhz 80186 (286 without the MP support) with 1, 2 or 4 Mb of ram, 3.3V PCMCIA slot, serial & infrared port. 2 weeks standby/6-8 usage on 2 standard AA cells.
We want the 400LX to be an 486sx or smth wth an IBM microdrive (or SANdisk) so we can run ANYTHING WE DAMN PLEASE ON IT ('cept w2k and ME which require pentium) and still to fit in the pocket.
Want Linux - install your fav distro. Want 95 ? ok. Want NT - fine but slow.
Don't tell-me it can-t be done - you have seen that PC105 (or smth) linux-server-on-a-matchbox here on/.
A 486 cpu built with today's technologies (.25 or even.18) will run al blistering speeds and consume no power at all.
you're too young... in 1992 i OC/ed my 16Mhz 286 to 22Mhz (replaced the 33Mhz quartz with an 44.6Mhz one (from some burnt video-card or smth)).
(the machine died after 7 years of heavy usage - overclocking is bad:).
And in '90 have seen an Z80 Sinclair spectrum compatible overclocked form 3.5Mhz to 6Mhz. It would occasionally lose the front at memory accesses (memory too slow). The fun part was to write a program like:
10 PRINT SQRT 2
20 GOTO 10
let-it run and the flick the switch to 6Mhz - it would began to print strange numbers CLOSE to sqrt(2) and eventually reset/lock itself.
a little problem...
CVS does NOT work behind a M$ firewall (or at least i didn't find a way to make it work)
with apt-get (or the redhat equiv) i can export http_proxy and ftp_proxy and everything is a-ok.
I searched (a little) in the CVS docs but i couldn't find what protocol/port it uses.
:(
Nope. the sparcs/Suns STILL use 60 and 50 ns EDO memory modules. The bus speeds of an sparc are 83Mhz (older) and 100Mhz. The bus is wider but an The 266Mhz Athlon DDR bus whoops his a** a bit:)
But a sparc will beat the sh** out of an Intel/AMD CPU on a cheap Motherboard/Firmware. If you want to be fair, compare a sparc server with a server-grade PC.
The ideea is:
- Server-> Reliable, then fast.
- Home PC -> Fast, then reliable.
This SUCKS
There are many ISA cards that cannot be found in PCI form. The RealWeasel is one of them. Many aquisition cards and even do-it-yourself ISA boards (as the ISA signaling/integration is MUCH SIMPLER than the PCI way)
We DEMAND an PCI2ISA converter with an external ISA card cage. (alltrough i'm not sure it will work as the ISA bus has access to all irq's and the PCI slots only to the four INTs assigned to them.) --
... as they don's sell HAL9000 cases. You know: Dark Gray with an Black-blue HAL9000 logo and the red eye. (to connect to a lot of small monitors will display big three letter signs on different collored backgrounds and vectorial animations.)
The only thing i say close to that was a series of HP Vectra pc which had a round HAL-like power button wich will glow red (HDD led).

There ARE (almost) such things. Where I work we have those cool large whiteboards with a device that will scan the contents of the board (xerox-like) at a press of a button and reproduce the thing on fax thermal paper.
Bad move indeed, at a software company i used to work for, the PHB's decided to switch everything to M$ because "i read in the paper that borland went bankrupted or something, they got buyed by some company named Inside or something similar, and we won't get any support or new versions from a bankrupt company". --
Speaking of the movie - where can i find some HAL9000-like add-ons for my computer ?
Add-ons like:
- blue/gray Case with the HAL9000 text
- "red eye" - maybe with a ccd camera in it.
- Crystal-like memory'n'stuff that i can remove to make the dam' thing run slower so i can play some ole' DOS games.:)
- voice synth that could say: "H-E-L-L-O D-O-C-T-O-R Y-E-S-T-E-R-D-A-Y T-O-D-A-Y T-O-M-O-R-O-W" at startup and "What are you doing Dave ?" at shutdown.:)
The BX chipset on the Abit BP6 will handle FSBs from 66 to 133 in (almost) 1 Mhz increments. The main problem is that the new 370 chips (originated from the pIII core) don't have the same pin layout. --
- standard S3 support (LOTS of "business" PCs found in companies have S3 cards - the one i am writting this onto has a s3trio64v2)
- mono / 1bpp framebuffer / hercules support. 3.9.x had it. It vanished beginning with 4.0.1.
- an option for "DO NOT blank the damn text console/tty you're starting on". I have at home a dualhead system (one matrox + one hercules:) and there is NO way i could have one X (matrox) and one text (hgafb) setup. X will blank the text console at startup.
