    Also i have never seen that particualr theater so full except for the incredibles;

    Vector is on of the most usable distros even on recent hardware. especially teh SOHO version is made with O3 mcpu=586 and march =686 ;

    though your post doesnt explicitly say so, plz dont categorize it as only for old h/w ;
    lookup VL even when you want a good fast general pupose distro with a great community; its like gentoo without the week's wait :)

  10. what if the actual peekers were imposters? on Harvard Business School: You Peek, You Lose · · Score: 1

    what if the actual peekers were imposters? in that case, harvard is unethical!! ; this shows what most people suspect in general about "business types" / suits ; do some knee jerk tomfoolery to look like you are in control; lets see if they can show with anydegree of certainty that the applicants themselves actually peeked at their supposed acceptance letters; ~ram http://distrowars.textdriven.com

  17. Re:Yes he's talking FUD - NO!!! on Cray CTO Says Cray Computers Are Great · · Score: 1

    "Emberassingly parallel" is a term referring to parallel computations involving minimal or no communication across the computing nodes.

    i think he would find himself, and how he keeps hiumself alive so far!! he would surely be the oldest man alive;
    That would be the most advanced technology.

  19. Re:Windows 98 on Retired Microsoft Operating Systems Still Popular · · Score: 1

    i use win98SE as my main OS ;
    check out my journal..
    i put it thru a lot of trouble, but it runs amazingly;
    only gripe is it crahses or hangs suddenly some times;
    while one cause i have observed is to open a lot of ie windows and yahoo messenger simultaneously;
    while i dont like the crashes at all,
    as of now it seems 98se seems to be the best solution for me;
    that is until i upgrade the RAM ;
    as of now my target is to watch a 1.5MBps video :)
    wihtout hitches.

  20. Re:Well... on Lindows Ordered To Stop Using Lindows Name · · Score: 1

    and LindowsOS is the name of the OS not just Lindows. and M$ doesnt have any offering with just the name Windows. also Lindows.com does a good job of specifically assuring ppl that their product is not from micro$oft so they can be sure of no crahses and viri :)) ; To Sig or not to Sig, thats the sick part!!

  21. copycats on Lindows Ordered To Stop Using Lindows Name · · Score: 2, Insightful

    huh .. initially every one wanted to linclude the words linux in their name so that ppl knew it was some kind of linux ;
    now lindows wants ppl to know that its a good operating system and some windows apps run on it.
    so Linux + windows doesnt sound abnormal or cheap
    but the "windows" in lndows is actualy a reference to micro$oft windows.
    what i dont understand is how worse is this from any prodcuts which have the word windows incorporated in them to convey to the user that they are compatible with M$windows ?

    so whats next? windowmaker?

    oh and by the way i own http://lingows.com and http://lingows.net.

    i bougth the domains so i could host some services for multiple language support for linux;
    i wanted a name to rhyme with lingos
    and found this interesting;
    now this is only a one letter change from lindows.com but i dont think thats a big problem;
    infact i would be glad to carry any advertisements of lndows non english versions for free:) along with any other distros which have decent non-english language support ;

    copyright vs copyleft .. whose gonna win?
