I ran into this problem the other day. Who pays for linux kernel developers to get these? I gues now redhat or VA or some other company might pay for some acces to them. But before the influx of corporate money how did linux developers get these specs?
Why do we have to deal with hard drives full of files named 'vcd43bup.exe' instead of 'Video Card Driver Update version 4.3 -- English'?"
Because that has spaces in it and spaces suck...
ridicoulousy long filenames are sometimes a pain in the ass. i think you example is a little to long. I appreciate longer than 8.3 but not that long and no spaces. plus how downloads.exe files anymore;-)
This is an internal project to make Debian an OS that children of all ages will want to use. Our initial focus will be on producing something for children up to age 8. Once we have
accomplished this, our next target age range is 7 to 12. By the time children reach their teens, they should be comfortable with using Debian without any special modifications.
Okay this was stupid. I have to respond to this one. First of all maybe you still use a 57k modem oh wait there are not 57k modems. Crappy joke aside more and more people are using the internet at school and at work were ethernet and a t1 are the norm. People do not want to wait for a web page to load. The only reason why this would be a good idea is if most people were still using modems and they were using modems that they could not saturate my connection with one access. I don't know where to end that was one of the dumbest replies I have ever heard.
Lets think about it. BTW doing a little thinking is probably a better way to learn anything.
A dedicated dialup account probably still costs 20 dollars a month. For that much you can get a very decent amount of web hosting.
Next time you want to put down someones idea because you are an idiot don't pick mine. I feel very strongly about my site and honestly feel that I can help to make a difference.
I read the article. It deals with randomly connected networks and random breakdowns. I do no think that the internet is randomly connected. For instance ask an aussie...
This was stupid. Do you know anything about pharmacology? I would imagine you do not. And taking this to be the case whouldn't you atleast guess that lethal doses would have something to do with body mass (as a result of levels in blood)? I think elephants way more than 2,000 pounds. Now if you did a little research which you didn't you would know that elephants weigh:
From:
http://zoo.pgh.pa.us/wildlife_search_animal.asp? ca tegoryname=Mammals&animal=15
Females, or cows, will reach a height of 9-10 feet tall at the shoulder; males, or bulls, will grow to 10-12 feet tall at the shoulder. The cows are smaller, weighing 8,000-10,000 lbs., and bulls will weigh between 10,000 and 12,000 lbs. when full grown.
So ughhh that would be a closer to maybe 40 times the LD for humans.
BTW i forgot what the dose was but in my pharmacology class we found out that the lethal dose is some outrageous amount like thousands of times greater than the dose needed to get off. There have only been a very few deaths due to lsd toxication. The ld is so hiigh that on the way to that dose the user usually does something like jump off a roof.
Hello,
It is me again the original author of the question. I am hoping that my site will one day grow to need the capabilities of slashcode. "Me thinks" that starting out with a smaller less functional and less flexible program is a bad idea. What happens if I start out with the small one and need to move up to a big one? I have been around computers for long enough to know that it is important to have an eye for the future in regards to scalability. Maybe you have different experiences but i doubt it.
Second i do not know what you are infering from my concern about price. Regardless of how many visitors a site expects it seems like a good idea to keep an eye on price:
for instance hostway.com is 30 dollars cheaper and (platinum plan):
you get 2 gigs more traffic a month 20 more email accounts, a mailing list, ssl, and real a/v.
You are not the first person to think that slashcode would have been a better place for this. However the question has been asked on slashcode (remember i looked there originally) and there was little response. I was hoping to have better luck with a broader audience. Unfortunately it was not on the frontpage of slashfot. Me thinks next time you should try and make more informative helpful responses...
Hello,
I submitted this question. The site i was refering to was slashhosting.com not the site you mentioned...
slashhost.com looks like a domain squatter for free academy.com
Hello, I remember a while back (I can't find the link now) there was a web page detailing the ordeal with etrade and this redhat fiasco. I am very pissed off right now and i would like to get something done. I rember the web page had a lot of info on it. I think that this IPO has been handled so poorly that it is laughable.
Hello, Would any affinity members who had sufficent funds and a high enough offer who did not receive shares please email me... Thank you. I did not receive any shares at all and I will be talking to the SEC and i would like to have others comments...
Wow The last comment was real intelligent. People like you are morons the grateful dead can be enjoyed with out drugs. That same ignorance is behind the anti-linux fud....
Unfortunately this person ripped it righo out of rms's new column on linuxworld. "In future columns" come on bud if you are going to blatantly pagarize a document atleast put it in context. You suck you act like you want free software for the love but then you rip rms's thoughts without giving credit of all people. Grow up...
