I have a UMAX S900 (powermac clone, 256mb RAM, dual 604e's, OpenFirmware 1.0.5, kernel 2.4.25-smp). The computer currently has some crappy IMS card (2, 4MB VRAM? - sux under X11) - but I coerced OF into using it as `screen`. If I swap it out for a Radeon 7000 that is flashed with OF ROM, will it cooperate nicely with my computer (i.e. OpenFirmware 1.0.5)
But then the producers and directors of the movie should *explicitely* state that the movie is *utterly* for entertainment purposes only, *completely* fictional, has no historical basis, and that *no* part of the film should be taken as truth.
There are enough dim bulbs out there that will and *do* believe otherwise, because this is NOT done.
Uh how is this Flaimbait? A known loser advertises his link-farm of a "blog", in order to increase his advertising revenue, on Slashdot. What do you expect me to say? "Oh goody good?"
That other gasbag (Roland Piquepaille) is back, and he wants us to read his blog so he can make some more revenue from the stupid advertisements on his page.
Knowing that execs are even more retarded than the average slashdotter that can't RTFA, they'll probably be confused and think Windows has a lower Total Cost of Ownership, not 0wn3sh1p.
Well, don't expect OS X/Darwin on it if its a G2. *THAT* support has been broken since 10.2 Sad thing is, no one on the mailing lists has it figured out yet.
You can take your 386 brick and seriously ram it up your arse - I want a piece of equipment that is up-to-date and can run real operating systems, not sexed-up DOS-shells. I want to be able to use normal USB peripherals. I want to have decent processing power and decent amount of disk and random-access memory. Most people do too. By "tablet", they do NOT visualize an antiquated piece of crap that is less powerful than a Palm Pilot.
So yeah - tablets are still overpriced and thus a niche market.
Uh yeah you can play CS reliably and efficiently under Liunx, unless ofcourse you are using an ATi or some crap like that. Cedega (WineX) plays CS, HL, DoD and TFC on Steam *perfectly*.
Uh yeah, because for the *phones* the "Mhz", so pushed by the corporate marketroids onto mindless consumer twits, simply refers to the *CARRIER FREQUENCY*, not to some magical property of "being better" or "running AOL faster."
I hate consumerism. I hate uneducated twits. I hate marketroids who prey on both.

Of course it runs NetBSD!
OK - here is my big question -

True... but you've only seen *one* Keynote presentation. Of course I am not disputing the fact the Keynote kicks PowerPoint's arse...
While I realize that comparing Roland to Katz might be a *bit* of a stretch...
Its true, ain't it?

Screw you.
... and IBM/360 with its VM/360.
Think about it... you can run all those OS/360 (as well as OS/390, etc, etc) programs on your zSeries...
Damn I love Big Blue.
Well, while Solaris is *technically* going to be ported to x86-64 eventually... IRIX and AIX won't for sure.
Ok, as much as I hate M$, but saying that "it is racist" simply because WinXP Pro/Home costs $$$ is ridiculous...
So, anyone successfully running a 2.6 kernel on their OldWorld powermac yet?
While 2.4 kernels work fine, ANY 2.6 kernel (stock debian or built by myself) crashes. The system is a UMAX S900 with dual 200Mhz 604e.
I applied some patches against QUIK to remove the kernel-size limit, but that didn't help. (But it did finally let me run 2.4.25-smp).
Knowing that execs are even more retarded than the average slashdotter that can't RTFA, they'll probably be confused and think Windows has a lower Total Cost of Ownership, not 0wn3sh1p.
OK lets see... the Quadro card in question is actually a GeForce _3_ design.
...what the hell did he expect?
Combine that with the fact that the Quadro cards are tweaked for render quality rather than speed...
Well, don't expect OS X/Darwin on it if its a G2. *THAT* support has been broken since 10.2 Sad thing is, no one on the mailing lists has it figured out yet.
Ok how the hell is this insightful?

Goddamnit.
Only in "Headshot!! PWND j00"-world...
You don't really get the difference between "0wn" and "own", do ya?
/. these days...
Whats happened to
Uh really? Its not spouting off anything I didn't know already. Its meant as a joke, and its damn funny - beacause windows *IS* easier to pwn.
Which part did you find "seriously useful"? The one that states that it is easier to pwn Windows than to create a pie-chart in OOo?
Dude, take a cold shower, get some coffee, or just get some sleep - it'll do wonders for your sense of humor.
Ah, RTFA please. He doesn't support M$. Seriously. 0wn != own.
RTFA, nitwit. Its not about TCO, its about TC0. 0wn3rsh1p, not ownership. Get it?
*sigh*
C# is, but .NET isn't.
Uh yeah you can play CS reliably and efficiently under Liunx, unless ofcourse you are using an ATi or some crap like that. Cedega (WineX) plays CS, HL, DoD and TFC on Steam *perfectly*.
Because that would make the quality even worse?
