  1. mirrors anyone ? on BeOS 5.0 Available for Free - But Not Yet · · Score: 1

    The web site is dead but the ftp server is still up.

    Someone could post some mirrors or the names of the files in ftp://ftp.be.com/pub/beos/ dir which has no read acces (i.e. cannot list the files there)...

    Pleaaseee - i am shift-reloading the site for 5 hours now and it's still down ...

  4. Re:Windows 2000 is so far a flop on Microsoft Windows 2001 Beta Slips Out · · Score: 1

    I booted with my hdd with debian (same kernel - originally compiled for a 486sx120/PCI) on a LOT of hardware configurations (from 486sx20/8Mb/ISA backplane (industrial computer) to PII/256Mb) and it works just fine. I just had to insmod a different network driver and use a different X server.

    If the same copy of bleah2k cannot work on 2 _almost_ identical machines - shame to them.

    And stability: try the winarp.c from rootshell on a w2k box. after ~10k bat arp pakets the network subsystem is gone fishing ... NT4sp5 does not die.

  5. N.America & the rest of the world. on Cool Japanese Gadgets You Can't Have · · Score: 3

    In the article please read "Are not available anywhere in this world except Japan" instead of "Are not available in .us and .ca".

    The europeans have nukes too! Try to comprehend that the world is round and bigger than .us, .ca and .jp.

  15. Fire, Fire ... on AMD Announces 1GHz Athlon Imminent · · Score: 1

    How hot this things will go ?
    If your cpu cooler fails won't the entire computer melt/burst in flames ?

    I like to let my computers running unattended and a cooler fan failure is a disaster. (someone i know just blowed an pII450 due to an dust-clogged fan). I hate fans, they're unreliable and make noise (can't sleep with them running).

    Transmeta: PLEASE release a dual Crusor m/b faster. Until then i'll stay with my trusty no-cooler, no-heatsink, no-noise 486dx50 (powersource fan disabled, hdd powerdown after 1minute) ...

  18. Re:I'm not that impressed. on Dell to sell laptops with Linux preinstalled · · Score: 1

    Try debian and HP OmniBooks ( x00, 2x00 and 5x00) ... I installed-it over the pcmcia Xircom etherntet booting from the floppy connected to the paralel port. XF86Setup worked just fine, hot-swapping cdrom and floppy works, apm works.

    The only problem is the sound card. After a standby/resume cycle it goes dead so you have to reboot to play mp3-s again :)

  19. Re:FINALLY! But why still paying the MS-tax? on Dell to sell laptops with Linux preinstalled · · Score: 1

    But what if one doesn't want the software support at all (eg: Linux Gurus).

    If for me, hardware support is enough - i'll just put Debian in.

    They should provide os-less laptops. With a big book containing all the port adresses, irqs, jumper settings.

    Altair - a d.i.y. computer - was succesful. 'till now i have built from scratch all my computers (except my first Spectrum 48k clone :). I want to build myself an laptop.

    Some hardware company better team up with LEGO. Cpu-bricks, memory-bricks, rebuild your computer 100 times a'day :)
