--These Xupiter guys are real bastards. Somebody should sue / stop them!
--Yep, I too had the TI 99 4/A with speech synth, Extended Basic, and stored all my.bas files to AUDIO TAPE.
--I learned how to *program* on that machine, as well as the Apple IIe (to a lesser extent.) The original IBM PC (4.77MHz) came later. Ah, the good old daze of ROM Basica...

--If the ad agencies were THAT creative the rest of the year, maybe commercials wouldn't be so bad. About the only one I didn't care for was the Cadillac ad.
...And I can already tell you that the Hulk movie is going to suck, and that you will more than likely find the DareDevil movie a lot more appealing.
--BTW, I become a "football" fan once a year - in January, in fond memory of the Bears win in '85.
--I picked the Raiders to root for at the coin toss (not knowing ANYTHING about how the game is played, the team's history, etc) just because I liked their name. I figured them to win 'cuz they'd be pissed about Fla not having to deal with Winter and all. But they walked on the field expecting the Bucs to fold like NE did in '85 and hand them the win, and Florida started handing them their asses instead.
--So at Halftime (after watching the Bucs play fkg Brilliantly) I made a friendly wager with my Dad, and gave him 6-to-5 odds for the Bucs to pull off the win - because I figured the Raiders were demoralized. And I was right. Oakland didn't make any of their big scores till the 4th quarter; if they had managed to make a comeback in the 3rd, it might have made a difference.
--However, the Bucs were tenaciously holding on to their hard-won lead and not giving an inch. Instead, they were out to take the mile! The only time I cringed at their plays was the few times that they tried to run the ball up the middle. (Puts the poor guy carrying the ball thru unnecessary punishment, when the QB is nailing most every pass like Legolas launching an arrow!)
--Oakland did make some good last-quarter scores to save face, but it wasn't enough to turn the tide. To add insult to injury, Florida jacked up the score again right at the end and sealed the deal beyond all hope.
--Bottom line: Florida wanted the win, and BAD. Oakland didn't bring the right attitude, and it showed. I called it right at Halftime, and won the fiver off my Dad.:)
--How about freaking TAR BACKUP FILES, you narrow minded moron?!
--Have you tried backing up your 60GB Windoze partition to a compressed tar file, and gotten stung by that paltry 2Gig file limit under an older distro?? That pissed me right off!!
>> Mandrake just needs investor support, if a company were willing to give Mandrake 5 million dollars of investment Mandrake would be profitable in a matter of months..
--Well, that's what happened with SuSE, and from what I've seen of their 8.x distro they've lost my subscription. (I was a pretty good fan of 7.3, too.) I'm switching to Knoppix/Debian.
--I think you mean "either MAJOR candidate." I.E. Repub or Dem. There *were* other people that wanted to be Prez, ya know - but the press is heavily biased in favor of ONLY TWO political parties.
--This is one reason why we need more people like Jesse Ventura in government. He's NOT a career politician! Our country is in the toilet (in part) because of career politicians from BOTH "primary parties" who can't get along.
--Yes, until you get into stop-and-go traffic. Then your left wrist starts hurting like mad (because of all the clutch grabbing/releases) and you just want to hop off the highway for a while until the traffic clears up.
--But you can't, because you're 7 miles from the nearest exit and going 2mph in the Express Lanes.:(
--Yes I'm a biker, and that's what riding around Chicago can be like.
o Put your swap file / partition on it o Use it as temp space for CD burning o Keep a copy of your W1n98SE CD files on it
o If you're running Knoppix Debian, copy cdrom:\knoppix\knoppix to a FAT partition on the drive (destination == \knoppix directory) and use the boot disk (or dd the boot-en.img to a 1-cylinder / 1.5 meg partition and set it's boot flag to Active) - Knoppix will then run from the HD instead of CD.

1. The Abyss
2. Aliens 4
3. Starship Troopers
4. Gollum in The Two Towers (LOTR)

--Hey, if Jesse Ventura can do it... (And he did it WELL!)
--Perhaps Mandrakesoft's best hope is to merge with Red Hat. After all, that's what their codebase started out on.
--As for the Mandrake *distribution* - which is a separate issue, I support the Community NPO takeover idea.
