Umm, ya, if you had to google bitchx or irssi, then you wouldn't understand.
(Actually, anybody who wants to use one of them should take a long, hard look into his soul and ask himself why he wants to use this "IRC" thing at all. But that's a whole 'nother discussion.)

I can't believe OSX wouldnt support true ansi color with its default terminal.
I can't believe my G5 didn't come with a punch-card reader or a buggy-whip holder, either. com
I expect any unix based OS to support a term mapping thats used on a daily basis.
Ansi Color is supported on all unix OS's except OSX, it being new could be the problem. But you have to use darwin to get a unix console with true 16 color ansi-type support.
You act likes its a dead emulation, if you use BitchX or other unix based console application with color support, its prob based off the 16 colors for ansi terms. Load BitchX or irssi, you will see that OSX doesnt support it in terminal without major tweakage.
Crazy talk! Supporting standard color schemes in terminals...
Setup tools are a universal problem, and Mandrake has been doing a good job, the setup tool has been improving. SuSE has been polishing Yast and its now opensource. Both console and GUI versions are very easy to use. I'd like to see Yast used on Mandrake, since its opensource, and IMHO easier to get things setup.
What I'd like to see with mandrake, is the update process a little smoother, still a little kludgy when updating on basic or paid updates. I bought and paid for redhat update services, now I pay for Mandrake. I switched when redhat dumped all the desktop applications and went strictly for server roles. (But now there is Fedora, ya I know...)
My wife said they would practice on each other, drawing blood in class, thats how they got experience.
Now my wife is working, she stated docters hate giving shots, and only the people certified can give shots. And with the current trend to hire 1 nurse to 10 medical assistants, you better hope some have experience.
Sounds like the typical slashdot joke, I just finished compiling 3.2.3 on gentoo! But I did actually.
Only took 2 days for me to compile 3.2.3 last Friday on my sparc sunblade 150, but it did compile. I normally start a large compile on Friday when I'm away from work for the weekend.
Too bad theres no gentoo pre-compiled ports for sparc64's.
I think CS would be better, it based in the real world, and everyone is terrorist crazy right now. And CS is the most played game.
A couple announcers go into observer mode, and do play by play. You could switch between announcers and players view while doing playbacks on nice kills. Get some nice replays, maybe do overlays like the NFL.
A perfect world would be, record everyones game, and then an editor/director could cut together the game the game, so a 20 minute match would be 20 minutes of the best parts. Overlays with the persons names would be needed. Maybe with statsme, kill ratio stats.
As long as its not a campfest. With only 4hp left, you tend to just sit and guard the objective...
Netscape 4.x? Decent? In same sentance?? Does.... not.. compute...
Whoa, Netscape 4.x was extremely stable. It had a great email client, and worked with all my admin gui websites. It was one of the best email/newsgroup and browsers at the time. Netscape was out long before mozilla.
Today, Thunderbird and Firefox are a great combo. But don't knock the early netscape developers, it was a great browser at its time.
I was in a unixware shop many years ago, and the best thing I like about it was a piece of software called Merge. But a couple years ago, Win4lin, came out for Linux. This was back in the multi-cpu 486 days, made a great call center server with a hundred operators on it. Other than than the printer queue's fscking up, it was stable. But I was already running BSD for any server I was tasked to engineer.
Today, I dont really see a reason to use unixware. The software is all GPL'ed software you can download on most platforms, and Solaris and Linux have better support.
Not sure why this was marked troll, but my points are valid. An Itanium system would cost more to run and is slower per cpu. NASA should go with the most cost effective system, as its Tax payer funded, overspending is an issue.
Sorry, but government spending needs to be kept in check, going with linux is a good start, but I'm sure someone has the support contract.
Maybe government spending isn't the hottest issue, but little things like the 88 billion for IRAQ could have put new computers and paid for more teachers across the USA in every school.
Next time look at the article, and say "how much did that cost, and did the people pay for it...". There are broader issues than Intel won a new Supercomputer contract. AMD just lost that contract, and the people paid more for less.
I'm using thunderbird on gentoo sparc linux with my exchange server via IMAP. Works great, not 1 single problem.
Of course, I like the look of Evolution better, shiny buttons..
On windows, been using thunderbird since it came out. (Netscape->Mozilla->Thunderbird) Been pretty easy, except that one time I told thunderbird to delete that profile I wasnt using. DOH!
I only had one issue with the whole install, it installed lilo befored I had a chance to pick Grub. The command line rescue option and lilo -U didnt work.
But I booted into x-windows and ran Mandrake Setup and picked boot, and re-installed Grub on my main partition. Worked perfectly.
Didn't have any apic/lapic or apci problems on this install, Release 10 would freeze if you didnt give it the command lines. (Also a small font install issue)
Still my favorite Distro, updates are not on all the mirrors yet, so I couldnt do an after install update. I doubt there would be any 1 day updates anyways.... - **** the FCC.
It's a full thumbboard, has ssh support, color, 640x480 camera, supports multiple IM clients, better range, better battery life, louder ringtones, and is 25% thinner than the old hiptop. (sidekick).
I have friends who own the older models, great network devices, and good phones. I love how the scroll wheel blinks colors on the ringtones. No scroll wheel on the new one, but it should blink colors also...
Too bad ATTWS/Cingular doesn't have it and no unlocked models, this device kicks ass.
BTW, Blackberry's and PDA's are much bigger than this.
The only problem I know if, is the results dont last, this is why you need to correct every night. But it does work.
This is one of the reasons I just put with glasses, I don't want to chance my eye-sight with nightvision problems with lasik. And I dont want to wear corrective lenses at night while I sleep.
I've never seen an evaluation version of a Linux distro before (though I'm sure they've been around for a while). How does this work?
Its like crack, first hit is free.
Actually, support, engineering and consultants still cost. Just because someone is a linux admin, doesn't give them enough expertise in clustering, dba, or other skills needed to setup a large Linux server farm. Software is cheap, manpower costs. Look how Microsoft is giving software away, but charges for the support contracts. - Neat http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/08/03/wi-fi_aeri al_gun/
Nice thing about cube, it looks like its all realtime, so all windows still have animation and updates. Not like those cheap 3d-desktops that just use static images of the appliation.
A terminal window would still update, a shockwave would still run, a movie would still play.
Too bad its still beta and no download, the example videos look great.
Whats funny is one piece of software didnt like a guys name, Steve Hitty. (something like that). We use first initial last name. Username = shitty
The software would block the username. Love that pattern matching programs, "ass" was also blocked, and tons of usernames had *ass* in it. Crazy, but I understand you dont want a guy with a vulgar vanity email address.

You can use a dos font, it still wont give you ansi color. I had this same problem on iTerm, and the default terminal.
I finally used fink, and use kde konsole. I can't believe OSX wouldnt support true ansi color with its default terminal.
Loaded BitchX and compare, you can see the difference. Fonts are easy, decent emulation is the bitch. (pun intended)

I didn't know I stopped using linux applications locally, or opensource applications on windows.
Someone forgot to tell me to stop using them!

Shouldn't it be an Elephant, nickname Slonik (Russian for small elephant)

I'm rather mad at this idea, the system costs more than an opteron system, costs more to run (heat/power) and is slower. But it at least runs linux.
Also, why is the BBC the first news tidbit about NASA's new supercomputer?

Also, why make the electric so heavy?
So this truck at 6800 pounds is too heavy to drive on most streets legally in california. ;)
I read they are now giving tickets for driving these in some parts of California. Anything over 6K is a classified as a truck, and not allowed.
Funny.
