new OS kernel called HURD... using the GNU Mach microkernel.
HURD-Mach was able to run a GUI and a browser, the developers decided to start from scratch and port the project to the high-performance L4 microkernel.
Ok, I'm confused. HURD is a kernel. L4 is a kernel. How do you port a kernel to a kernel?
But maybe what we do need is a distro focused solely on former Windows XP users. You know how MS Word has help for WordPerfect users telling them how to do in Word what they did in WP? It could have something like that. (How do I send email in Linux? How do I listen to an MP3? etc.)
It might seem strange to some. But my criteria for choosing one is based on my dial up internet access. I have to find one that I can get on a magazine cover disc. Or that I can get a friend to download for me. Or that somewhere like cheap-bytes.com carries.
Now we'll have to find a team of 12 people (who will slowly be killed off, one by one) to fight this thing (until the last one or two finally kill it.)
Didn't you know? The slashdot editors are secretly working for a hard drive maker. The more comments a story gets, the more hds their parent company has to buy!
I have seen plenty of people with high-school diplomas or two year degrees from a community college/tech school do just as well (if not better) than me and my more expensive four-year degree.
I have a two year degree in programming and know more about it than some of my coworkers with four year degrees. But my current employer will not let me be promoted higher than I am now without that four year degree. So I'm going back to get it. Plus I would like to learn more about my trade and hopefully get better at it as well.
They've probably already let all their IT staff go. So there's no one their to review it. Maybe they've outsourced it....or maybe there's a bunch of lawyers sitting around reading "Learn C in 21 Days":-)
At my previous job, I wrote several small programs at home to help me on my job. Why did I write them at home? Because I didn't have the tools I needed at work and I enjoy programming small projects. The programs helped make my work easier and (to me) were worth the effort. [I had several coworkers ask me for copies of one of them.] I wish I had been able to write them at work. (Would've made testing a lot easier:-)
I don't want to start up the old Atari ST/Amiga flamewar. Just want to mention that there is a project call "ARAnyM" (Atari Running on Any Machine) designed to setup an atari environment on modern operating systems. Not exactly an atari st emulator, but similar. (There are plenty of emulators if you want one of those.)

Great, the premeire issue shows you how to suspend a video camera from a kite. Woo. How about something that hasn't been done before?
I know people have done this for a while, but I think that this is suppose to be more of explaining how they did it(and how you can too). Have there been many magazine how-to articles on amatuer aerial photography?
Wow. I agree. I've been buying European (mainly British) computer magazines for a while now. Seems like all the American ones want to do is review stuff. (In this issue: Top 1000 Printers!)

That's a movie! You're reading the script for Red Planet

Production of pdas with microsoft os rises....sells of pdas fall...
I had to take that in school. Only language that I dislike more than Cobol....
I saw a thing a year or two ago about people who still code in it. They were excited because in the new release you could have sub routines now!
You'll get flamed for saying stuff like that.

I remember Mindscape. (Am I getting old?)
the Apple ][ was easy to repair in that all the ICs were socketed (all of them)
Wow.
on the first PCs that came out the RAM was soldered in
Yeah. I bought an IBM AT at a flea market once. Its amazing how many RAM ICs are in there.

I'm surprised RadioShack isn't suing them over the name.
Look up sometime how long the Atari 2600 was in production.
Just curious. You seem to have been in the repair business for several years. How do computers today compare to computers back then as far as repairs?
Based on your feedback, we have designed the new MSN.com home page to be faster, simpler, and more organized.
So without feedback, you just naturally designed the old page to be slow, complex and unorganized?
Our mission at Microsoft is to use the power of software to solve our customers' toughest problems.
My toughest problem right now is that the computer keeps BSODing!
They must have been using Excel to do the calculations! :-)

Don't you people watch the SciFi channel?!?!
Crossing species is bad! Very bad!

Maybe he's like Kirk and got demoted somewhere along the way. :-)

I wonder. Now that the AOLers will be gone, who will the spammers advertise to? Will it still be worth their time to spam the newsgroups?
salary could go as low as $43,250
Wow. That's almost $10,000 more than I make as a programmer.
