Nexel makes nifty racks. Wire construction, either in chrome or black. It takes no tools, in about 5 minutes you can set it up. All on wheels, if you need to install another system just pull it out and you can easily get to everything. I have 2 of them at home. They're 48" deep, 72" wide, and about 7 feet tall. But they come in lots of different sizes. I have 11 mid-tower cases and 5 desktop cases, plus 2 monitors, printers, UPSs, scanner, various external drives, hubs, a half dozen sun 411 and 911 cases holding my sparc stuff, a TV, tons of stereo eqipment and 2 VCRs.
The wire construction helps keep the heat under control, but makes it easy to lose pens and small food items. Setting a drink on one will get you tossed from my computer room.
The real question is what do you do with the wires?! I think that if I'm not careful, I'll accidentally weave a rug of cables on the back of the units.
Can I get the ORIGINAL trilogy without the extra digital crap Lucas added a couple of years ago? I think the delay is because he's busy adding time-traveling Jar Jar Binks to Return of the Jedi, apparently a thousand Ewoks aren't cute enough for him.
Exactly, some nurd with dozen intel boxes on a lan thinks he's doing enterprise level computing. I love linux, I have 9 Debian GNU/Linux Systems at home. But when I drop two or three hundred-thousand bucks on a Sun, HP-UX or Tandem server (err that's my employer's wallet not mine, if you want to get technical) I use the Solaris, HP-UX or NonStopUX it came with. I think linux will one day be better on real hardware than the OS it comes with, but its not quite there yet.
Oh, yes it's the evil RMS trying to destroy "Everything We hold Dear in the World". Richard Stallman hates babies and pisses in the pool whenever nobody's looking. He is by all means the worst scourge the earth has ever seen. Will you GNU/Linux weenies not realize this until Herr Stallman marches you to your deaths in the ovens (who's temperature is controlled by computers running SPI's Debian GNU/Linux, with a particularly evil version of LISP used to write the control routines!!!)
You are free to re-write every bit of the GNU code, and make your own GNU-FREE* linux distro. See you in 10 years.
Is that a problem in the language itself or the speakers level of knowledge? Can a stone-age tribalist think about things his language might not have words/concepts for or experience with? He has no term for a rocket, spacesuit, oxygen, vacume, etc, but he could imagine a realistic trip to the moon. His level of technical detail might be sketchy, but so was such descriptions by early science fiction writers.
Not being an academic, I'm unsure of this. But, if he's published this in any scientific/mathematical journal isn't his desire to get a patent moot? Plus if he's been working on this while at a university, etc wouldn't the school be the real owner of the patent?
Whence can I download this so-called internet-dope? I only intend to use it for educational purposes. Drugs are BAD! Bad Bad Bad! Gotta go and clear out a couple of partitions so I can download a goodly amount of this highly interesting code.
I would like to see some hard numbers on how many linux systems are used as routers, mailservers, webservers, and in embeded systems. Compare that number to the number of desktop linux systems. I would think they are quite close. I have 32 no-user (servers, routers, etc) linux systems in my company's network, but we have maybe 15 linux and solaris workstations. The rest of the desktops are for users trapped in Gatesland. At my home I have 14 computers (9 are linux, 2 solaris, 1 HP-UX, 1 OpenVMS and 1 True64.) and 4 users (family). Only 3 of the computers have monitors and keyboards (excluding the TRS-80 I have setup as a terminal). Of the systems without monitors/keyboards only 1 has X installed.
I would like to destroy microsoft by stealing all of their desktop users, but not at the expense of making linux (or at least the major distro's) bad for server use.
Windows 2001(tm) might just imply that your computer will go insane and kill you because of secret orders bill gates programmed into it, so I doubt marketing will approve.
A license to use a computer? Get a grip. A license to fix them? How could that possibly be enforced either. My first computer was a TRS80, which had a big sticker on the bottom covering the case screws, which said (to the effect, been a while since I read it) : If this sticker is damaged your warrantee is void. IE, if you get curious what's inside, or how it works, you're screwed. I have no desire to go back bad-old-days like that. A certification for a repairshop might be a good idea, it works for transmission and brake shops (Sarcasm, I've gotten shitty car repairs from joints with certifications plastered all over the walls).
why don't one or some of you guys volunteer to become Debian Maintainers for 'pentium opimizations', and recompile various programs that might benefit from these opitmizations, and make the appropriate.debs. Pentium users could then download them and use them instead of the normal ones.
No, the harsh pentalty is not a deterent. I'm half way down the slashdot list, and already 3 other back-erobberies have been mentioned, add to that the ones they didn't notice.
I'm NOT talking about mp3.com, and all those scumbag's, I mean about being able to encode music into a file small enought to email it to someone, or run unauthorized ftp servers on the schule's network, etc.
I've check out various mp3 sites, and all I've checked have turned out to basicially be MLM scams (like freakin Amway)
I ran a label, even pretended to play an instrument in several bands. Would have KILLED to have a way to give people our music, so easily. It's hard getting known when you're 15, PunkAsFuck and totally-stuck in Alabama..... I did it for 3 years and wanted nothing more than to release me & my friends loud music. Some of the bands actually did exist only on their music (and day-jobs) by touring/selling buttons/stickers/and those strange, interestingly engraved vinyl circular items, etc and when they were well known enough to get someone like ATR, Fat, cletus, etc interested in them, I was happy to let them go, because I had no interest in music as a business, hence the eventual CS degree (C.L. if you must ask). Think of all the thousands of extra FUCK THE POLICE, FUCK GOVERNOR HUNT, FUCK THE KKK, etc songs there would have been!!!!!!
And exactly how many of those countries are anything close being democratic? Maybe half of europe, japan, and US. That means 3/4th or 3/5ths of the reps are up for sale. Just go to any thirdworld country, they make American politicians look like pillars of decency. I've been to Columbia, equador and India, you can't get anything done in those countries without bribes or violence. A statistic I read about indonesia claims that Nike pays out more in bribes to indonesian governemnt and military officials then what they pay for the raw materials their shoes are made of.
Besides, democracy means direct election of representatives, anything else is sure to lead to massive corruption.
If you live in a member nation and think that your govt is making poor choices wrt to WTO, talk to your govt.
Yeah, I'll just give Clinton a call, and that'll staighten things out. sure. I don't think you have any grasp of how power politics actuall works on our grubby little planet.
2. I'm rather disturbed by the GNU Hurd's Debian-like appearance now. I was hoping for a radically different OS but I was disappointed with seeing a different underlying OS that still looks much like Debian. Does Debian have a legitimate reason for doing this?
I don't get what you mean. It is called Debian GNU/Hurd not Hojofrats BNF/Hurd. I would expect it to 'appear' exactly the same, just OPERATE differently (in a black-box sense). For points 1 & 3 see above post.
Slashdot Mirror
NO! MSIE for solaris (sparc) gets the award for the most buggy software. Would not run for more than 2 minutes, then core dump.
Start it up, and the CPU peggs at 99%, the damn thing can't even keep its window refreshed.
Mainly because netscape doesn't replace binaries in /bin or /sbin, but explorer does the equivalent of that in Windows-land.
Upgrade yer broswer and you get an OS patch ta boot, thanks Microsoft!!!!!!

You may not use this software if your organization's sole purpose is to kill people. Sounds worthwile to me.

My Favorite is www.anti-social.com The interface is a little clumsy and no subfolders, but you have to love that domain.
If it does, and you do, gimmie a call, I've got lots of stamps........

I know this is to collect questions for Wichert and not a normal discussion, but exactly what do you mean by 'all that ASCII configuration stuff'
Are you refering to the 'Create World-Wide Peace and Prosperty Mini-How-To'. I can't seem to find that at metalab.unc site.
