Actually, if using LILO, you move the kernel to the recycle bin and the recycle bin is on the same partition, nothing should happen, all you've done is change the location of the inode in the directory structure, without changing the physical location of the data.
This is dangerous.:) Someone might eventually decide deleting it is a good idea.
If you rm -rf/, and it whacks the kernel, chances are the machine will still boot afterwards and give a no root fs kernel panic, that's because the kernel is still intact on disk and LILO just uses the physical location to load the kernel. If you use a bootloader like GRUB that understands filesystems that's not going to work.
And, eventually, I installed Linux on the machine.
Reason one: I'm not paying $130 for an OS update when it's (at least the useful parts) entirely based on user contributions.
Reason two: Getting ordinary software packages to run under Mac OS X takes a lot of time, even for a seasoned developer.
Reason three: Mac Linux distributions are pretty fast these days. The CPU's are well supported and in my experience Linux is faster on the machine because there's no graphics overhead other than the kernel framebuffer.
If I had it to do all over, I'd of just bought a cheaper PC notebook and installed Linux on it. Mac OS X wasn't worth dealing with Apple.
This is because of tier 1 providers. We're a tier 2 that only has network within Wisconsin, but we have 4 peers that we only route inter-network traffic for, e.g. from us to Norlight, from Norlight to us, but not from us through Norlight to TDS or vice versa. They don't want to give us access as an "equal" peer, because they'd rather charge us for a connection, even though we can provide them with high capacity long distance (OC-3) cross-network routes. Since they won't help us, we certianly wont help them by establishing the cross-net routes on our end for free. If any one of our peers offered to take outbound traffic for us we would allow them traffic through our network to our other peers, no problem. Them not wanting to scratch our back is what causes the lack of a decentralized network.
x86 is a specification. If they use OpenFirmware without a normal PC BIOS that's enough to stop most PC operating systems from working. Linux can run under OpenFirmware on other platforms, so getting it to work under the new Mac platform wouldn't be difficult.
With my mail server, any user sending mail from it is required to exist, that dosen't mean the user is actually who is sending the message, but it prevents people from making joeblow23@mydomain.com.
My mind is constantly justifying its rejection of racisim to itself lately it seems. The same goes for most of our freedoms, e.g. do we really need, why do we allow, etc. I can't stand that I am now forced to do these things, espeically since I was raised in an enviroment where racisim and prejudice were intolerable. It makes me hate what happened more than any other element.
I thought hard, and only made one promise last September, and that was to live each day to its fullest. I think I've succeeded so far, this last year I went from an apartment dweller with a girlfriend to a homeowner with a fiance, two new cars, and a dog. I like to think I'm trying to live the life so many others didn't have a chance to. That is the american way, afterall.
I don't know that it took a terrorist act to force me to wake up, in fact, my outlook on the world is much dimmer than most. I know there are alot of high tensions in the world, mainly resulting out of what ammounts to jealousy and greed, and in the end, lots of things ammount to jealousy and greed, including the reasons behind why the US is what the US is today.
During the presidental election, I was forced into voting for Bush over Gore, because I was afraid Gore might ruin my career (as a computer programmer), at least more than Bush is capable of doing in ignorance. As an afterthought, I'm still not sure what I would do. Does anyone really beleive Gore would've handle this situation in a more graceful way? I don't think so.
So, mabye I'm awake, mabye I'm not. Mabye what I really want is someone to go ahead, and make the irrational decision that ends this problem one way or another. All things considered, that's the only way its going to happen anyway.
The day I am forced (by law, or by market) into buying and using any of this crap any of this is the day I will let go of my "right mind" since obviously, everyone else already has by that point.
Mass education on this subject is impossible, people simply think it dosen't affect them until it's too late. Politicians are suposed to do some of the thinking, to give people what they want.
Politicians just want more money, which is not unlike what I and many other Americans want, and giving the people what they want is not a good way of obtaining money. Giving business what they want is a way for a Politician to get money.
What we need to do is make it a federal crime for politicians to accept any private contributions, peroid. I would gladly see some of my tax dollars going to a unbiased system in which canidates with a signifigant backing of voters (the number of supporters should vary depending upon type of election, while still being low enough so that people with little funding can acheive the status) can obtain federal funding for their campaign.
Is this concept too hard for the public to understand?
If these boneheaded laws keep getting passed people will get irritated and will retaliate using violent methods, peroid. It's human nature to fight back when opressed, using whatever means nessisary, no matter what the opression.
They marketed to marketoids. Music/graphics/shit in BeOS was aimed at music/graphics people and not general purpose geeks. That was the problem, I always liked BeOS but the closed source BeOS after years of opensource *NIX clones proved to be the major downfall for me.
Speaking as someone who goes from a cable modem at home, and a T3 at work, I'd much rather have the T3, you just don't know any better.
3 megabits/sec (~300kbytes/sec) is slow.
If I get transfer speeds like that from sites I'm downloading from at work, I look for the file elsewhere and see if I can get it quicker. Most of the time, this is a whole linux distribution download, where 300k/sec is awfully slow for 1-2 gigs of ISO images.
Anyone who says that using perl is easier than using C++ do to any task that requires load is an woefully uneducated C++ programmer. What's easier, spending more time on a task, or buying 3-4x more hardware to get the task completed?
I'm not saying perl is bloat, but if you're going to make me compare perl CGI / perl mod_perl modules to C/C+ CGI / C/C++ apache modules, I'm going to be forced to tell you the truth.:)
Sure, it may sound like they're just going in circles to piss you off or avoid the question, but..
In my experience, lots of programmers (myself included) like to bring ideas full circle several times, sometimes out loud while discussing the problem, this is to make sure that the entire problem is understood and a solution that is generated is applied that fits the entire problem and not just the noticible part.
I can plan an entire client/server enviroment verbally in discussion, know exactally how to do it, then spend a few weeks documenting it afterwards, find 2-3 problems with it, fix them, go back over everything, etc, it can take 6-8 weeks (depending on the size of the project, mind you) of planning on the part of the lead programmer to come up with a solid concept before code actually gets written.
Asking people to produce code to do X Y or Z during an interview is just wrong, because if they have time to research doing X Y or Z they may discover a way to do it no one else has thought of before. I've walked out of interviews that asked me to write code during the interview, because it's not worthwhile, they could have asked me for refrence code prior, and chances are these people only care about bang for buck anyway.
I was actually asked to write a simple client/server hello world once, the interviewer had the nerve to insult me further by saying I couldn't do it to aggrivate me, so I did write it in about 15 minutes without any of my normal refrence, had one compile time error that took 10 seconds to fix, and even used a message sending protocol instead of a normal socket reading and dumping method, then proceeded to inform the entire room of people I did not wish to hear from them and was no longer interested in a job where HR insulted its employees. A friend of mine that worked there told me the HR guy doing the interview got fired for that one.:)
In theory, the postal service is a goverment managed, but private organization.
When the renewal agreements between the postal service and the US come up, it's possible for a competitor to take over, but they're under the same rules and regulations that the postal service is, and they don't want to play that way (they want to charge more).
I can understand the dreamcast controller being first, analog triggers rock, but the X-box controller is nasty. The N64 was okay, but the PS2/PS1 controller (same damn controller really) is my controller of choice, it has the SNES-controller feel, just as that had the NES controller feel, and since I first started playing video games on an original NES system, I'm partial to that type of control.:)

The last time they had a OS called GNU/*, it was GNU/Hurd, and well, I'd want something better associated with me as well.

for Windows :)
for Linux
Enjoy. There's only a limited number of connections allowed but if you can get through it should be fast.
Well, that's nice, but.. This still says it's not accessible. So, which is it, folks?
How do you write new modules for garbage collection languages? You just keep track of what you've done and how to undo it.

your retort is dumb. if you can't stop smoking you should go slowly kill yourself, er, smoke, outside of public view.
