Wait for Final Preempt patch

Kernel 2.4.17 Out

· Score: 3, Informative
You will want to wait until RML releases the finale preempt patch. It will just be the kernel version (2.4.17) without the rc on the end. His patches are very version specific.
If you were on the Linux Kernel Mailing List the past two weeks, you would have seen how much email your simple question can generate. The flame war about style lasted for at least 3 days. Check the thread at:
Ok, I read through the supplemental information and his attitute to the first guy posting to Sourceforge just seemed wrong. Not knowing this guy, he seems very abrasive and doesn't understand that not everyone is a freaking computer genious. Yes, people who don't read the manuals are annoying, but when you YELL at someone you are turning them off big time. Especially when it seems that the guy just downloaded an old version of mysql and there seems to be no indication that the new version is required. It really comes down to the fact I can't get over HIS USE OF SHOUTING in what seemed to be a normal civilized support request.
Just a quick note....selling your NFL tickets for the face price is not scalping. Selling for *Higher* than face value is. It's called scalping for a reason.
As much as I hate to say it, it is their website, and if they don't want me to read it, fine, I will go somewhere else. This may be flamebait, but if I don't like what a company wants me to do for their services, I don't use them. The only way to talk to a corporation is through your wallet and your choices about their products.
Sure, they are claiming "technical" problems that are not true, but I know how my designer friends feel when they get that call from the guy who can't view the page because he is on NCSA Mosaic. You can't please everyone.
If you search Google, you find this Microsoft page that allows you to sill download it all with one program. I just can't find the path to this page on the Microsoft site. I knew a full download was available before, so I had to find it.
Here in Dallas on 97.1 FM The Eagle ( A ClearChannel Station) they have a "Tribute" song set to Metallica's "Seek and Destroy" that ends with Pink Floyd's "Run Like Hell", both songs are on the list. And I know I heard Drowning Pool's "Bodies" Song. They play the hell out of it. But The Eagle is known around Dallas to not give a crap about what the bosses say anyway.
I think he is referring to the guitar playing guy played by Sean William Scott (Stifler from American Pie) being called Prince Valium as he is being thrown out of the van. They had him dressed up to look like Prince Valium from Spaceballs.
Ok, @Home and most DSL providers state in your agreement that you won't run any servers at all. This has been stated before in the previous responses and I completely agree with them.
When I had DSL, my ISP knew I was running servers and even gave me appropriate reverse lookups.
But now that I am on cable, I just went ahead and put a machine in a co-location facility and hooked it up to a T3 line. A friend of mine split the bill and it is basically what I was paying for my DSL access.
Most people sitting at home don't need to be running servers, and those that feel that they have too, should look at dedicated DSL with a provider that understands you are running servers or go with a hosting company.

Running a webserver or a server of any sort is against the policy rules of MediaOne, or did you forget that? I have the service and remember specifically reading that in my agreement.
I am on 24 too, and my cable modem light is blinking like crazy. But everything is dropping at my firewall. Haven't gone on the other side to see what is going on. But I have a feeling it is is Code Red. Not to mention I lost service for a few hours last night.
They aren't stopping the linux version. They are however going away from the GPL at least for the initial realease. From the Tux Racer website:
Tux Racer is NOT Windows-only
Thursday, August 2, 2001
Despite what some (very misleading) news articles have recently reported, the retail version of Tux Racer will be released for both Linux and Windows (and most likely the Macintosh); the binaries for all versions will be in the same box. Don't believe the hype!
These news articles are referring to an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) deal which is in the works, which (although the details have not been finalized) is for Windows only. Getting a Linux version added onto the OEM CD is something that we have considered and will try to do. The only obstacle to this is the fact that our OEM agent only supports Windows products. We will keep you posted.
Further, to clarify: while we will not initially release the source code to version 1.0 under the GPL (this is simply not an option for us in the commercial game market), we do intend to do so some time after the initial release.
Police in the US sometimes use planes (I have seen this in Oklahoma) to track speeds. You cross a white line on the road and about a mile or two later you cross another one. They do the math, if you are speeding snap a shot of your plates and mail you a ticket.
I have to say that as a George Carlin fan, I am shocked that you first attribute this to Blink 182, Carlin has been saying that list of words since the 70's. I hope it is just because you didn't know of him in the first place.....
According to the histroy channel show about Pearl harbor, we got six planes in the air. They were interviewing a Japanese pilot about the ensuing dogfight. But I saw the movie and pretty much hated it. For once, I agree with JonKatz, I can't believe it. Very heavy handed hollywood at its finest.

Actually, I find that if I can get all my commands on the keyboard, I am much faster. If I have to pickup the mouse it really slows me down. I would rather every function in an application or desktop have a shortcut than a gesture. Since most do or allow you to create your own, I love it. The mouse is just a burden.
I completely agree. I don't understand why I have to prove it to them that what I create at home is mine. But the nice thing for me is that what I create at home uses completely different technoligies and OSes. My office is all MS, and at home I am all Linux/Open Source. But it should be made that an employer should have to prove that they provided you all the necessary equipment and resources to create your project.
His job advice seems a bit naive to me. I have to work so I can afford to have the spare time to work on my own stuff. I don't I will ever have the time and the resources short of my retirement to be able to just "hold off" writting my own software. You just have to be really specific in your employment agreements about what is yours and what is the companies. His statement about everything in writting makes its point here. Make sure your employer agrees that anything you write on your own time and on your own systems is yours. And also don't write software that would compete, that helps too.
did anyone notice the change in Media Player 7 where if you click on another media file on the web, the one that was playing stops and it loads the new one? This used to be an option where you could have it just open a new media player. What ever happened to this? I can't find it in version 7.
Did anyone read the CNN article? They mention the virus is written a "Primitive" langauage called assembly. Um, eventually all programs are written in this language. I just found it funny that this article seemed to be written for either the housewife at home or the executives neither of which knows better. Being that it is in assembly, my guess this only works on intel only architectures and you would have to be dumb to double click on an unknown file. Oh wait, that has already been proven to be a normal thing for people to do.
This isn't true, public schools can do that same thing. The bill of rights doesn't apply to a student even in a public school. As I said before, we had to get every story approved by the administration before we could print it in the school newspaper. I need to go find the references to the Supreme Court cases that support this. Look for some where on the of the participants is an ISD. (Independent School District)
I was a journalism student in high school and we were routinely reminded that the bill of rights doesn't apply to high school students or school newspapers. It has be upheld many times by the Supreme Court that the administration of a high school has more power and authority to censor anything they want. We had to get every story approved before it was published. Luckily we had a cool principal and he never sqaushed a story, even if it was negative. But he could have easily said no and we would have had no recourse.
I must admit, this man knows what he is talking about. I have one of those Sony receivers (not of the ES type) and I am looking for something better. As for speakers, I have been very happy with my B&W 602s for the front and back and a LC2 (I think) for the center. For the sub, I went with a Paradigm 1000 because it had a lot better performance on the floor than the B&W model I looked at. Look at spending about US $600 for each pair of 602s and US $500 for the center speaker and $550 for the sub. I have really enjoyed my system since I got these speakers even with a sup par receiver.

Are you kidding me? I have yet to see the difficulty in compiling KDE:
./configure
make
make install
I was about to compile it on an Athlon 800 in about 4 hours. And that was compiling all the packages in the FTP directory.
What sorts of problems are you seeing? This isn't a flame or anything, I just have never had a problem getting KDE built before.
