Well duh. 25th generation Win98SE and NT2000 CDRs are all the rage. Of course I have not avoided the Microsoft Tax. But I've only been hit twice, since I got into computers rather late. 3 times if you count 600 bucks for M$ office...
Of course, after above 200mhz, most userland programs pretty much appear to run the same. There is a noticible difference when compiling, gziping, etc, but that is way more intensive than what most people do, browse the web, read email, listen to an mp3. Memory upgrades do so much good because more disk caching can occur, and more memory for multiple user progs. A better video card is in a way a just memory upgrade (alhtough thats not entirely true the cards have a little processor on them and that gets upgraded as well). My current video card has *64megs* of memory on it. The computer I gave to my parents has 96 megs of system RAM. A couple of years ago, such a video card would have been considered insane. 300$ is pretty crazy for a video card, but far from insane. But a video card is all about presentation, so if it renders the graphics a little quicker, then that really adds to the general sense of usability, etc the user can easily notice.
I saw an interesting show on TV, where a "child-porn" activist claimed that anyone downloading childporn should be treated the same as the person who actual took the photos, etc as the act of viewing the photo, etc was just as victimizing to the child as the original act. Exactly how the child is able to tell that someone is viewing such photos, etc of them, I don't get.
I certainly don't want childporn, and don't want to see it available, but this is degenerating into a general excuse for anything a government or corporation wants to squash debate about. Child Porn is illegal, possessing, distributing it, making it, are all illegal offenses and should be severly punished. However, dumbing-down and filtering every conversation, etc to ensure it does not contain any proscribed content is erroding our rights.
he did not say he wanted to expland the public domain, he just said the existing freedom needs to be protected. You're arguing against a huge false strawman.
Just remember that if microsoft made underwear, no one would own their shorts. Hell they'd extra charge rent for skidmarks. Perhaps washing your skidmarks out would violate some horrid NDA. Microsoft Lawyer, "hey you're destroying important marketing data there buddy!"
And as for your fourth paragraph, take it news://microsoft.support.blahblahblah... where someone might agree.
In that case, how much of a fork is this really? Can the PDC people write their PDC-related code, then just add the basic smb, etc that samba provides to come up with a total Why2K functional replacement or are they going to have to rewrite it? In either case it seems like they have very different goals, and being seperate is a good idea, but it would be nice if the PDC group can re-use nearly all the samba code. Otherwise they've taken on a project that all the resources of Bill Gates can't seem to get right.
For real elections you need much better security than the internet can provide, its easy enough to stuff ballot boxes as it is. Just imagine if it could be done with bots.
The so-called planets form just like stars form. They just don't have enough mass to become burning stars. People have known about brown dwarfs for a long time. These are just even smaller, the only surprise here is that we can find them. Since these items are smaller they are even harder to detect.
They are not planets. Stars come in all sizes, some so massive they get so hot they burn out fast, some are even more massive they become so hot they break apart before they can even form a proper star. Generally, the smaller, the less light they give off, these are simply so small they can not "burn" hydrogen, and probably radiate very little heat. Some people think they should be called planets because they look like jupiter, and do not glow, but that is wrong. Their formation is the same as stars. Planets form in the wake of a star's formation.
Maybe a very, very small number of them are planets blown out of a dying solar system, or from a forming system, etc. But the vast majority are formed exactly the way stars are formed, just not enough mass to ever glow.
There would be such atoms there, much as there are here. The non-hydrogen atoms on the earth did not form in our sun. They are from previous burned out stars, spread out into the general dust, gas, etc these so-called planets would have formed from. It is the same crud our solar system came from.
The central core would be hot, that plus convection would provide plenty of non-randomness. However these are jupiter-style "planets", so it would be very difficult for life to survive because there is no surface, perhaps an extremely fine mist of bacteria or algea could form but anything heavier would tend to fall towards the center and be boiled. I doubt anything you could ever talk to with form though.
A shortage of ps/2???? Those evil USB bastards must be the cause of it! When will their evil machinations be stoped? And just as I was getting used to them little plugs.
Without Corel Linux, M$ probably would never have "invested". So, was Corel Linux a bold move that brought huge sales into a dying company or a slick move to get cash from M$ for a dying company? (like like apple)

No, it will help them shoot pro-democracy activists. So go Die, loser.

Fuck that Shit! Thank god for caller ID. I would not take a call from work, for the week it would take me to get another job.

where do you work, I'll send them a resume
rpm -i dpkg.rpm /etc/apt/sources.list

rpm -i apt.rpm
echo "deb ftp://ftp.debian.org stable main non-free contrib" >
apt-get kernel-image-2.2.17pre6
* reboot to have the debian kernel running then
apt-get redhat-upgrade
Isn't wresting kinda gay? Plus stupid, I know wrestling is stupid, and I pretty sure about the gay part too.

Now that is ironic, isn't it?
Yeah, for all the bad things I can say about their distrobution, redhat the corporation has been pretty decent. But all I can say is go debian gnu!!
Maybe not for a cluster of sparc 10000's, but a cube farm of 500+ ultra10/5's would find debian much better and easier.
