Makes me glad I run Linux/x86 and Linux/PPC *100%* of the time.
And for all those who think "Macs are gay" or "Linux isn't cool" - Have fun using your toy, buggy, 5cr1pt k1ddi3's delight OS with its crippled TCP/IP stack.
What you mean to say - is that this fucktard's "exploit" created several hundred HelpDesk and SysAdmin JOBS. I mean, retarded or not, he helped out the IT industry. Lets put him away for allowing you to make money instead of being cut because no one needs you.
Its not like the HelpDesk and SysAdmin personel were cleaning up this shit on their own free time. Nooooo - they got paid. What the fuck are you complaining about? Don't like your job? Don't like work? Then quit and stop whining about it.
Bug Report: you should either ignore negative numbers or take the absolute value before proceeding with further checks. Entering -1 as the length probably overflows something *somewhere*
The "RAID" stuff available on consumer-targeted PC motherboards cannot be even compared with a 32-bit-PCI hardware RAID controllers. Why? Because it is not 'true' hardware RAID. Most processing is done in software by the driver, not the RAID controller chip itself.
So while its "nice to have", it is barely better than the software RAID I already use on my linux machines. There is no way in hell I would choose to pay more because of this crippled "feature."
Uh well the BEFW11S4 has no problems playing with other APs. My neighbors just got an 802.11b network and my BEFW11S4 is just fine, thank you.
Just because the router dies because some *other* non 802.11b device is blaring on the same frequency, doesn't mean it won't cooperate with in-spec devices.... Duh!
Uh cause the behaviour was present even if I never installed the VIA drivers?
Learn to read. I hate repeating myself. I frankly don't give a rats ass whose fault it is. When I buy hardware, I expect it to work. When I use an OS, I expect it to work as well. Helloooo Linux.
Actually small footprint does not imply hardcoding everything in assembly. Small footprint would very likely be a tiny forth virtual machine + bytecoded forth. If you can't grasp what I am talking about - think OpenFirmware/OpenBoot. Forth is portable, so moving everything to a new architecture would mean porting the (tiny) forth VM - that beats porting XP. And forth is a pretty damn powerful language... Hell, if you felt magnanimous - you could even add an interactive forth interpreter for debugging purposes, and none of this would require 512 MB of memory.
Remember, if this wasn't a plane, but a *space* UAV, then those 512MB wouldn't come cheap - considering they wouldn't be off-the-shelf DDR DIMMS, but something like space-radiation-hardened SRAM. And uh... no offense... but with Windows' track record... I would not be willing to shell out $$$ for something that some 5r1p7 1dd13 would have fun with for 5 minutes before causing a catastrophe.
"Look Ma! I found a new cool flight simulator! Whoa! So realistic! Is that a nuclear power station? Coool."
... which is why I highly recommend the up-to-date "Linux Kernel 2.6" driver system.
No seriously... when I bought my KT266A-based mobo (GA-7VTXE), I actually *COULDN'T* install Windows XP without the harddrive becoming corrupted within hours. And this was WITH the 4-in-1 drivers (and without, I've tried many times). They finally fixed that by WXP SP1. Win2000 always worked fine. Actually a note of thanks to Microsoft - their little stunt with XP + KT266A resulted in me switching to Linux much faster than I would have otherwise...
I realize its pretty much hit-and-miss with VIA chipsets (just like with Windows... make sure you're using a "newer revision" or else...), but the KT266A (note the "A" revision) is a pretty damn good chipset under Linux at least. I've never had any issues with it under 2.4 or 2.6 kernels. All the built-in on-chipset crap work. No problems with AGP 1x, 2x or 4x + nVidia GFX. No problems with ATA-100 IDE.
Uh knowing how to write a compiler is pretty damn important. Thats not "fluff", thats solid computer science. "Fluff" would be learning some hyped-up API which will have disappeared by the time you graduated...

UofI at Chicago: Ditto.
And even a slick PowerPC laptop costs less...
"Yay"... I think...
Does anyone /yet/ KNOW why Darwin 6 (and OS X 10.2) don't work on the 604e?

This guy didn't figure it out: http://www.opendarwin.org/pipermail/hackers/2003-
So, how much did this cost you? Is it available in the US?
What part of Chicago are we talking about?
Nowhere where I live....
Holy Shit dude... just about what "good neighborhoods" are we talking about?
And do you mean Chicago or the North-West Suburbia, or...?
Uh Jon? Its pretty simple to write *crappy* crypto algorithms, unless you just happen to have a Ph.D in Mathematics...
;-).
I know you don't

/me wonders if the proprietary Wiki on MSDN's channel 9 has a "hole" lot of MS-Access "features."

Some of us have video cards that don't have a pitiful excuse for a driver.
If you knew you were going to play games under Linux, why the @#$% did you get an ATi?
And all of this is a consequence of using .9GHz instead of 2.4Ghz or 5.8Ghz as the signal carrier?
*sigh* Dumbass!

Please mod parent +5 Insightful. Whoa - an SG-1 game? Will it run on linux?
Uh cause the behaviour was present even if I never installed the VIA drivers?

I've heard that the KT133 chipset was a lemon, however Live! works fine on my KT266A.
YMMV though, cause its VIA.
Whoops! I should have been more descriptive... I meant the tubes, not the circuits.
