  1. Re:i wonder if on Microsoft Plans Hypervisor for Longhorn · · Score: 1

    Errr no. NT is called NT because it was first target against the N-10, i.e. the i860, and later retargetted at i386 since INTeL didn't deliver.

  2. Re:It's a shame... on Final Windows 2000 Update · · Score: 1

    Ha! I liked the NT 3.51 UI better than NT4, and I've never seen a BSOD until I started using NT4.

    God that was a long time ago.

    The linux kernel is not 20 years old. I think that just about invalidates anything you had to say.

    Very much incorrect. If you use the pre-september release (s10_44), then both the Ultra 1 CPU and the Lance chip are supported.

    Any reason why you're not running Solaris 10 on the Ultra?

    I will second that. The GP just doesn't know what he is talking about. I have no experience with 2600, so I won't say anything about that, but recent Phrack issues are far from "omfg 1337 101".

  9. Uhmm on Why Smart People Defend Bad Ideas · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Or in other words... this whole article is meant as a defense for the existence and proliferation of "managers", whose MBA degrees supposedly give them the magical ability to manage and control, without actually knowing anything worth damn about what they are managing.

    There is no excuse to put in charge MBA-only types (or individuals whose knowledge base does not correspond with that of the company's). How can a "manager" manage and make clear, informed decisions about the direction of his/her company, if he/she has only a vague idea of wtf is being done? Look at HP.

    Yes, mod me down if you are a PHB type, or some weak moron who needs a complete dipshit in a suit to tell him day-to-day what to do.

  10. Re:Um.... yay? on Really Remote Internet Access · · Score: 1

    You do get some horrible latency, so you can very well forget about SSH, VNC, games or anything remotely real-time for that matter.

  15. Longhorn in 2006? on Microsoft Scales Down Palladium · · Score: 1

    It's summer of 2005, and God summons to him Vladimir Putin, George W. Bush and Bill Gates.

    God: I'm going to be blunt. I've gotten tired of Earth and I will completely wipe it out in 30 days. I've summoned you here so you can tell your people. Now go.

    Putin appears in an emergency address to the Russian people on public TV channels, and announces -
    Putin: I have two bad news for the Russian people. The first - we were wrong, God does exist. The second - he will destroy the Earth in 30 days.

    Bush appears on national TV, and announces:
    Bush: My fellow Americans, I have two news - One good, and one not-so good. The good news is that God exists and that I've met him. The not-so good news is that he will wipe us all out in 30 days.

    Bill Gates summons all of his top pointy-haired underlings and announces:
    Gates: I have two great news. The first is that God thinks I am important. The second is that we won't have to meet our deadlines and ship Longhorn by 2006.

    Wow this is really rich. "Fair question?" Really?

    Should be persecute the families of crazed lunatics, who went off their rocker, and went on a shooting spree? Should we prosecute the families of all criminals? Should generational White guilt exist with respect the century-forgotten practice of slavery? Should generational Arab and African guilt exist for starting the practice? Should everyone descended from any people, who ever participated in a war, be permanently marked with guilt? Should the entirety of Eurasia perform ethnic cleansing in Mongolia as "payback" for Genghis and Kublai Khan? How about nuking all of the Middle East as "payback" for the suffering caused by the Jews on the Arabs, by the Arabs on the Jews, and by that whole area on the rest of the world?

    I hope the answer is no, as there is no justifiable reasons for persecuting and discriminating against individuals who weren't involved, or even freakin' born.

    Keep working on that Philosophy degree, fencesitter. You're almost there :-).

    IBM culpable for what its German division did with Hollerith card technology? Fucking please. What's next? Making all Germans pour out their wealth in "reparations" for grand-grand-grand-kids of Holocause survivors? Oh wait... that's already there. Damn.

    Some can please explain to me how the current generation of IBMers/Germans is culpable for actions of Third Reich? If Holocaust survivors can hold a grudge against innocents, simly because some far-off-relative did something bad, does this mean I get to hate Arabs for invading Europe?
