Easy. Get a boot disk with a small kernel and initrd on two 1.44 disks. Then mount via your network card. You can have a fully functional workstation. This is totally doable.
you are complete idiots. You want your operating system and people to develop on it. All you are doing is creating a proprietary piece of crap. You should be making "open" standards.
No joke. X is more portable than windows will ever be. If Windows is such a great operating system, then why doesn't Microsoft make it easy to customize and secure.
The day Windows will be secure is the day pigs fly.
not a problem. so you use SMTP AUTH to authenticate to comcast's email server and relay all your mail for the domain you own through that. I already do that to send my juno.com mail outbound from Outlook Express.
acutally that's probably all that is needed to run a telecomms cellphone switching station now these days. PCs are so fast that they can handle that real time. 62 calls at once is probably because they are using outdated PBX or other telco equipment that is limited by design.
By using a PC you can scale very easily. I'm surprised that they cell phone companies haven't taken advantage of VoIP. They could use QoS to make sure each call got the 22k bandwidth needed. The technology just needs to be applied.
I have a AS 4/233 first of the first to enter the 64-bit arena. It has been my firewall for my broadband cable access since 1997. It's solid hardware. What kind of PC lasts 7 years without replacing any parts that runs 24/7?
Comcast complained that my modem was up "too-long". I mean this machine has seen +400 day uptimes. I wish I could say the same about my modem.
Same fans, power supply...etc. The computer mfgs. don't make them like they used to.
I particularly like the fitness magazines. Since I'm a sysadmin, sometimes the hours make it difficult to hit the gym up since they aren't 24 hours here (sometimes I close the gym--the staff are litterally chasing me out because it's 30 minutes past closing). M&F also has the yearly "get hard" program where they challenge their readers to a certain workout and diet.
It isn't like some other magazines where they just fill it with "junk-science". You can get great receipies for low-carb/fat foods. It also motivates me because I see other people (like in their yearly challenge) meeting their goals too.
And of course we can't forget Maxim! But, I don't know if you can "read" pictures;-)
Finally a monitor that I can use on my UNIX box. Those silly toy lcds that can only do 1024x768 function better as a paper weight.
On a more serious note:
ViewSonic has an excellent reputation for making quality displays. I still have a ViewSonic P810 21" that has exceptional picture quality since I have R/G/B/H & V Sync BNC inputs from my video card.
Is this an open standard that other mfg's can build technology on top of?
Existing DVD recorders like my Philips DVR985 are built on an open standard so any DVD+RW's that I make in the recorder can be read in most standard DVD players (I haven't found one that doesn't work). It even works in my computer's dvd drive.
And on today's news (doesn't this sound familiar????)....
[22 June 2004]
The Apache Software Foundation core team has voted to disband itself, effective 01 July 2004 in what is basically a minor internal restructuring, similiar in both spirit and action to last January when the devel list was opened up to the whole Apache HTTPD community instead of as previously just Apache HTTPD developers.
This dissolution made allot of sense as the core team was supposed to be distillation of the best and brightest that Apache HTTPD development had to offer. In reality, this vibrancy required constant checking, pruning and monitoring and as Apache HTTPD is a volunteer organisation of all this extra burden was taking away precious development time to perform worthless bureaucratic tasks.
Happily, the vast majority of core team members saw that the important architectural discussions were happening out there on the devel list and not behind closed doors on core, and so with a gift for the obvious, they voted to disband.
It is possible though, that Task Forces, ad hoc committees, will be setup in the future to fulfill certain goals, issues and technical problems that inevitably spring forth. There is precedent for such Task Forces in Apache HTTPD, as during the years of 1997-1999 there was one called a Design Team that was made up of many non-core technical personnel to create the all-important 2.0 modular architecture.
In the meantime, The Apache HTTPD Project and its still very active and cutting-edge developers are doing what they do best: developing, discussing and hanging out on the development list all for the purpose of fielding questions and getting ready for our 1.4 Release. While you are in the area, why don't you join them?
Comments, concerns, sighs and cheers about the dissolution can be made on Forum at Apache dot org; registration is not necessary. Hope to see you there.
1. Install Windows XP. 2. When your network get's configured, make *sure* you customize the TCP/IP Connection to enable the built in firewall of Windows XP. 3. Continue your install of Windows XP.
If your computer comes with a automagic install of Windows XP, leave your connection unplugged until you can enable the built in firewall.
telephone headsets are evil. you get all the jokes from the VP when he comes over to you and names you "TIME Life Operator". Then proceeds to ask you "aren't you going to sell me anything?":-)
1. You need to remove ide-scsi support as it is no longer going to be supported. The ide driver has been updated so you can write/read to your dvds/cds.
2. You need to enable devfs. As of 2.6.0, devfs is no longer enabled by default.
Because new high-quality shows are in digital format there is no additional overhead to add some type of DRM mechanism to control who can and can't reproduce the material. Of course as long as there is analog, someone can just convert the digital signal back to analog where the DRM would not be transferred thus allowing the material to be reproduced.

That's easy.

I wonder if I can convince my boss to let me have a Starcat 15K in my cube :-)

How did ALSA break? ALSA seems to be working just fine for me. I'm using the AC'97 ALSA modules.
If you *really* wanted to, you could use:
genkernel --kerneldir=/usr/src/[2.6.3ebuild directory]
to automagically build it.
Check out genkernel --help. There might be a couple more options you'd might like to choose.
I got 2.6.4 compiled installed in under 5 minutes. It's working great. No problems here.

Thank you. Much agreed. After all, that point and click interfaces are for the 'weak'. ;-)
