  1. a whole new market for them! Christmas decoration on "Cloudy Future" For CueCat · · Score: 1

    just think of what we could do.. cuecats on the tree.. cuecats on the house.. even cuecats hanging on the grille of your car! the possibilites are endless!#@$ and when they fall and break you can run down to ratshack and get a free replacement! WOOHOO!!

  2. too good to be true? on Writing Drivers For Multiple Operating Systems? · · Score: 3
    or too crapy to work in real life?
    Use the powerful graphical Wizard (available in Windows only), to create your driver source code. The Wizard will automatically generate make files for both Linux and Windows. Move the generated code onto your Linux platform and recompile. Your driver will now run in both Linux and Windows.
    i dunno.. just seems unlikely to me.. but then again.. im not a coder.. soooO

  3. you're missing the point (more) on IBM Runs 41,000 Copies of Linux on Mainframe · · Score: 1

    each one of mini-servers has the same resources and processing power.. the degredation is so small its almost non-existant.. at least it is with a mainframe running VM.. so each of those servers is essentially one machine

  4. right right... on IBM Runs 41,000 Copies of Linux on Mainframe · · Score: 1

    yeh.. thats the one i was thinking of when i posted.. couldnt remember who posted it or the name of it though...

  5. isnt this old news? on IBM Runs 41,000 Copies of Linux on Mainframe · · Score: 2

    I remember a story not too long ago, i dont remember the name.. but it was about a guy talking about running a few thousand copies of linux on a VM mainframe OS/390 or something like that... or am i just halucinating??

  6. oh i dunno... on Worlds Slowest NT Server · · Score: 1

    ...something an NT server will be good at! ;) I would have to say that an NT server taking 49 minutes and 13 seconds to boot would make a really good paper weight.. add some paint to the case and you have a work of art....

  7. oh my.. that is slow... on Worlds Slowest NT Server · · Score: 1

    the slowest i have personally seen was about 15 min.. and that to me is WAy too slow.. i dunno what it is.. but 49 min to reboot would make me have to hurt someone.. bad... :)

  8. and lets not forget playing mp3s on a 486dx2-50 on MP3 Player Made From a Router · · Score: 1

    16bit Mono baybe.. yeah! Of course that was after you'd disconnect from the bbs.. but.. anyway I'd like to see somebody get linux to run on my Echostar satillite system... so I could play mp3s. Oh yeah.. have a nice penquin screen saver.. WOO

  9. another equally viable answer on MP3 Player Made From a Router · · Score: 1
    Because he wanted to.
    Not only did he do it becuase he felt like it.. but also because it hadn't been done yet.
    I'm sure the gúy that made it has learned _alot_ and if not, it at least kept him busy for a while. It's these kinds of creative minds that makes technology happen.
    I'm willing to bet this guy would have never knew his router so well had he not strived to make it into an mp3 player. I, like some other people here, wonder what it would take to get this thing performing dual tasks though. I'd like to see it not only playing mp3s but streaming them too. Sure it might take a little more hardware than this thing has but it'd be nice anyway.

  10. Re:WTF? on Tucows Opens Domain Name Registry · · Score: 0
    Maybe the first 5-10 posts should display the user's IP so we can ridicule those who have nothing better to do at 2am than wait around to make the first post
    While at one level I agree with this.. The "First Post War" has gotten VERY VERY old, I still cannot justify in my mind having the first few posts show IPs. There are still some legitimate posts that make it into this range and I know I wouldn't my ip showing. As if not showing it does any good but that is a WHOLE other rant. :) In closing... May your women and your source code always come freely to you. :) HEH

  11. Re:X11 vs Windows vs IMac on Basic Linux Systems for the Home User? · · Score: 1

    Whats wrong with that? Older women use linux too.

    heh.. :)

  12. put the dish on "EuroStyle" then get in the groove on Ask Slashdot: What Music do you Code By? · · Score: 1

    Granted I'm not much of a coder but this stuff always makes me want to move around.. and the more im hyper the longer im gonna stay up doing whatever it is that im doing.. wether that is trying to unravel some code or trying to learn how to code.. which is what im doing anyway.. :)

    by the way.. i have dish network so euro style is the name.. and its anything from house to techno and some stops inbetween with trance and the like.. its good stuff.. :)
