I dont think it was a tootsie pop in the middle... It was kinda like gum, but wasn't. It was a lot chewier than real tootsie pops. You do have a point, that stuff was probably meant to be a tootsie roll, it just didn't really turn out that way all the time
its from a tootsie-pop (is that it?) commercial (yah know, the ones with the gum in the center). I dont remember the exact name, but I remember eating them all the time!
Intel is on the decline just like Microsoft started to a few years back. Though Intel is nowhere near the state MS is in, it seems these huge product releases are made out of desperation. AMD has taken a huge chunk of Intel's market, but who knows, maybe they might be able to make a comeback?
Yes, it would seem like a good thing to do that in theory. But doing packages from another version of Slackware probably would cause problems. I wasn't really thinking ahead at the time:-)
Exactly. I am running Slackware and its great. The only problems I have with it is that the package system sucks and there is virtually no upgrading to a newer vers of the slack. Those two points are basically the same though. 1 thing that sucks is that I just reinstalled Slackware 7.0 on my machine (dont ask) and I will be getting a new computer in 4 or 5 days so. I will most likely want to reinstall Slackware on my new comp, it sounds like the most rational idea possible, i would rather just upgrade but Nooooo!!! I cant! The first thing that will happen when I install slackware 7.1 on my machine will be a kernel recompilition, and with my luck 2.4 will be released 10 seconds after I am fully configured and have an acceptable system! Sorry about my long rant which, undoubtedly, you will not read because it makes no sense whatsoever. To save you the guilt of moderating me down I now authorize you to do so, to the best of your ability (PLEASE!).
Dude, who cares? An older distro is better than a newer distro when it comes to old hardware (except for known security holes). If I were you, I'd just install an old copy of slackware 4.0 and update with some of the newer packages form Slackware 7.1
Yahhh!!!! One less thing Sun will be able to turn into a stupid commercial with an annoying catch phrase. I shudder at the possibilities of what dorky saying they could have come up with involving the weather and computers. -BLECH!
While on this subject, Whats the status of Real's products uploading info from the client on their linux/unix versions of their software? I remember a while back there was something about Real doing this. The linux versions seem to come without all the "crap" that the windows versions contains, but do they leave out the anti-privacy code? just something that made me wonder...
Umm... Do you really think that, even when NASA VASIMR, that they build another one for billions of dollars just to make a car go fast? As Spock would say "thats highly illogical."

Simple; They remove the user. If you didn't know that you must have been sitting under a rock in a cave on Mars, with your fingers in your ears singing "La La La La Laaaaaa!"
This is good. Well I am a Canadian citizen and all, but the fact is I dont watch much tv. Maybe if I could get it on my computer (yah,I know about tv tuners) I would watch more. Sigh, something more I can waste my bandwidth on.
Forgive me being an idiot but I have a question: One thing that I have allways wondered about reiserfs is if I need to convert my existing ext2 partions to the reiserfs? Mainly all I am concerned about is loosing all my data. Can someone clarify this for me please?
I really seriously think this type of bullshit has gone far enough. Why are other people being punished for the mistakes of other people who decide to go on a shooting spree make? Really, he posted he personal opinion about some of his peers, though insulting, they were not death threats. All this is is that society needs put blame on our own geek/internet culture for the school shootings. I say sue the government for your computer and damages, make it a high profile trial and tell the public where to stuff it!
I hate to say it but that Rex guy (the Corel Linux guy) is a complete moron. Just go and read the whole article. His rebutles to the 0S9 points were total crap. I hate to be a troll, but, Rex is a fucking idiot.
The only reason things like this get done is because they can. Why do you think the Unites States and USSR were in the space race? Becuase they new it was possible to leave earth and they thought it was damn cool to beat the other to it. But good thing they didnt nuke the moon, that would just suck.

Look on the bright side, at least it's not "Pentium 2000"

Hey, maybe they are using the new Transmeta Crusoe CPU? (hint, hint, hint)
It was later reveiled, due to Russian cutbacks, the space station component was actually swiped from the back yard rocket man

Oh my god! we slashdotted ... Hemos? What's next, slashdotting slashdot itself?

The scary thing is though, each site contains the exact same amount of porn as the other! (wink wink) *cough* clinton joke *cough*
does anyone even realise the significance of this? For the first time in history there is actual proof of life outside earth!!!!! weeeeee!!!

handful of mega-bands like U2 & Pearl Jam
You forgot to mention Metallica as one of those "mega-bands", if you get my drift.
