  1. so when did China decide to use US Currency? on China Bans Game Recognizing Taiwan Independence · · Score: 1

    this might be silly of me but isn't $ the symbol of the US Dollar?

    now this is just a question, but is the fine the equivalent of 1200 USD or is it 1200 Chinese money(??)?(I hate to admit that I don't know what the currency is in China)

    By the time I got to this there was well over 400 comments

  7. 3 days ago on Running Mac OS X Panther · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The day before Thanksgiving I bought my first Mac (a 12in Ibook 1.2 Gig, and I talked the salesperson out of a bag and an extra 256Megs of Ram)

    I for one will probably not be buying this book until I need it. Thus far I have been able to install everything I need to run my Linux Apps, and have loaded Gtk2 and Gkrellm and got them running without a hitch with Fink.

    It took me about 6 hours of messing around with this laptop and saying to myself "I Hate Mac OSX-nix why am I doing this to myself" untill I had some kind of breakthrough, and I'm feeling much more comfortable; don't get me wrong, I love Linux and KDE (just MHO) but if this is as stable as I'm told since all I do with a laptop is check Email, web, Light linux admin and development, this laptop is nice with great battery life and light.

    I am glad that this book is available, even if there is another pussycat in the wings. I don't think I will be upgrading right away, and good resources can be hard to come by.

    I wish Safari had a web spellcheck.

  8. some time between 95-97 I got the best bitch slap on Linus Interviewed · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I can't remember exactly but some time between 95 and 97 I was installing Linux and I was a true newbie to *nix back then. I had some major prob with the install and I wrought Linus a rather scathing Email. A few weeks later I got the best bitch slap of my life.

    I wish I saved that Email is was so elegant and worded so perfectly that I became a Linux / Linus Zealot (it was not a nice responce from Linus).

    This interview just reminds me that I need to be more Linus like in my day to day life (I'm a bit hot tempered) and really think when I talk, or act Email, or post to /..

I now have a TV that's on allot, not that I'm watching it but when I do it's usually science television and I have a Sunday Date with someone and HBO.

  11. micro macro kernel I don't use M$ anything on If Mac OS X Came to x86, Would You Switch? · · Score: 0

    You know if you read "Just For Fun" That Linus was courted by Mac for OSX-nix and you would get an Idea why he didn't go to work for them. I would like the apps, and the UI ported to PC *NIX but I like having the freedom to have the hardware I want even if it's non-standard. The Darwin Port has been around for a while with a specific hardware list (which is so Mac) I'll switch Distros I'll even use different kernels but to say I would jump ship and run OSX/Darwin because it's there well I would have save that answer for answering the questin "Why did I climb that Mountain" I am using Linux Not freeBSD at least Mac could port Aqua to FreeBSD it is underneath it all FreeBSD-PPC right?

  12. Re:I work at AT my view on AT&T Considers Mac OS X, Linux For 70,000 Desktops · · Score: 0

    WOW!

    This is one of the best things I've ever read about AT&T and the internal tech if not the best.

    Any way I'm a former insider via proxy working on mostly R&D hiring for AT&T, Lucent, Telcordia for a consulting recruiting company in NJ a few years back. When my wife called me from the car all wigged out about hearing a news item on some news station that AT&T was looking at Linux to replace desktops she told me to contact some of my friends there about offering to help.

    So I did and the guy I decided to email is a managing director at research.att.com (I had a history of working on project finding him bleeding edge Linux people mostly engineers and admin) and his responce was "Yes, I also read in the news about the Linux thing, and no, I'm not involved in it."

    So I'm wondering who is testing the viability of OSX-nix and Linux.

    I would have to say that IMHO that Linux is the way to go if this is for real. Based on the fact that there are loads of PC x86 stuff laying around there and that Mac Seems to be (and don't quot me on this) a closed Architecture system and there is a limit to off the shelf hardware you can use and since I'm sure there are a few hardcore UNIX programmers still in the confines of the walls at AT&T and loads of open source work done on all kinds of things there is a good chance that any hardware issues they might run into most of the work is out in the WWW somewere and small amounts of tweeking if any would need to be done to get most of the hardware / software working for this big move and as well you said that they are tight right now and the upgraded PC's can stay to live a second life.

    that's my 2 cents

    forgive the spelling and grammer I survived a massive head injury in my teens and now I'm only as good as my spellchecker.

  16. Media Hores on EWeek Details Linux to Windows Migration · · Score: 1

    OK so you needed an enterprise DB 2 years ago Oracle was one of your only option, but the ski resort and php / MySQL that is a prob with the developer not Linux or linux support. there are and have been quite a few PHP / *SQL products available with an open-source license that just need a bit of tweeking to make your own and most of them work well and have some sort of on-line payment system built right in.

    IMHO the ski resort tossed the baby with the bath water and are blaming compleat incompetence on behalf of the developer on linux.

    Or this whole thing is a farce all brewed up by M$ to add a bit of FUD back into the Linux market which has been enjoying a lull in the amount of bad mouthing it receives from media. We all know that E-week, CRM, and many other Magazines that ship more free copy's than paid subscriptions are really just sluts willing to publish opinions of the highest bidders.
