  8. Article is unfair to computer makers on Smaller Than The Mini PC, The P4/2400 Micro PC · · Score: 1

    You won't see the offerings chang on the whole until the average custom builder can create a custom case or for that matter a custom motherboard with all the features.

    If the average self sufficient computer enthusiast isn't willing to take the finacial hit for custom cases at that size, why should Dell or Gateway?

    Too bad consumers can't swallow their pride and accept a wooden case like the first personal systems had. Wooden cases can be built easily, without outsourcing to case makers, and without having to make a large investment in special equipment.

    Oh well.

    hmm, I got an idea...

    A newbie using Pee Cee doesn't even know, and most certainly doesn't want to know that there is something called Linux, under the hood and same goes for Windows. That's the whole point of this modification, and it can't be that hard to understand. Why don't you people use your brains, if you have 'em?

    Newbies are using Pee Cee, with no idea about different operating systems and if they see something is broken, they think PC is broken. NOT Linux and NOT Windows, they can't think anything about those if they don't even know they exist.

    --Must repeat that last line to make the point--

    they can't think anything about those if they don't even know they exist.

    It isn't even crippled. Nobody can seriously think that changing a damn kernel in SYSTEM is crippling something. Linux is still there, not that anyone would want to use it, it's just not in your default INSTALL.

  12. I'm not kidding - retro hardware coming on AMD Opteron to support Palladium · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking that creators are people who still want capable computers, that is ones that:

    CAN run recompiled kernels

    CAN play a user's own original tunes and allows said user to copy said user's own tunes

    still WORK with cheap off the shelf hardware which creators get to SAVE money for buying their creative tools like STEADYCAMs, EDITING video adapters, and MIXING boards.

    (SUNDANCE FILM FEST are you listening?)

    I'm currently doing an experiment:
    Can An Amiga 2000 with:

    1) some driver code for BIG fast SCSI drives (the 80-pin to 50-pin converters work but there's no speed advantage)

    2) a design-philosophy layer that allows Linux to take advantage of the power of the architecture

    3) and modular cross platform service sets like internet, renderfarming, and active editing (text produced by the GIMP bouncing live - via live mouse control - on live recording video)

    MAKE MAX, PCs, and THE NEW WORLD ODOR (Palladium)

    Run For The Hills?

    I bought 10 9.1 SCSI drives for 40 (-S&H). I bought the converters. Amiga 2000 boxes are being dumped for $50 - $100 lately.

    It is extending your monopoly when Microsoft decides who the market leaders (adopters of .Net only) are instead of the consumer.

    Microsoft can do whatever it wants with Windows. However, .Net is not an essential component of Windows. It's like forcing people to install the latest version of DirectX when the games they own require an older version to run.

    Treason is going against your own country in war. Not the war itself.

    Another interesting topic:
    When a president is inaugurate he must swear to uphold the constitution.

    Secondly, I'm sure you're happy the that the President isn't above the law anymore. I mean he sort of was until Congress gave him the right to do as he pleases without needing their consent. Which means the President currently and future can have a bad and call it wartime and then of course any nonconformist stream of consciousness or thought pattern can be labeled as treason.
