Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought that power compagnies use fiber optics for transporting signals between power stations. I thougt they wanted to use these fiber optics for broadband use.. Just my 2 euro cents..
"They invented... NONE of it. They innovated... NONE of it. They developed... NONE of it."
Just because they hired in/head hunted a bunch of developers of the Digital VMS team, it doesn't mean they didn't developpe the kernel themselves.. And I thought the definition of an OS goes further than "just" a kernel..
" if they ever actually wrote some it might be pretty good stuff."
How about OS/2? Afaik Microsoft did the groundwork on it and I thought OS/2 Warp was pretty kewl in the Win 3.1x day's.. I believe IBM still uses the OS but labelled it something like E-business server orso..
Think before you speak and control your impulses..
You have to hand it to these Taiwanese people, in becoming independant nation, they've choosen the more clever way, than let's say Catalunia or East-Timor.. They're now just seem to be heading for total domination over their agressor..
How strange... Did you actually ever USED Mozilla on Windows?
I did.. For our company, I had to test whether or not to upgrade Netscape 4.79 to Netscape 7.x or Mozilla 1.x.. or to IE6/Outlook. For months I used Mozilla in various configurations on various Windows-es and for various users, but in the end, I really have to agree on this:
Mozilla.org first stated that they did not ment to deliver a clean finished end-user product, but to develop new technology and were just happy if it compiled and ment to leave the rest to others and I think that still is true.
And for Netscape Messenger 7.x: opening spawned attachments on a busy connection to an IMAP server is still a bitch, it often crashes Netscape! Wheel mouse support is also not okay (dead for Windows 95, troublesome for '98/W2K). And we still can not paste screendumps (NS 4.x feature) or past contents out of Excell cells (NS4.x feature, works under Mozilla). And for running a helpdesk of a financial company, that's 'not nice'.. And what about Palm Hotsync support? There is a nice Netscape mailsync option in the Palm desktop, but does not work for NS 4.x nor 7.x. I finally had to install Outlook just to get it working, while the main mail client for the user still is Messenger!
I embrace the concept of Open Source and all, but I think I'm gonna advise (with pain in the heart) on buying an Exchange server (ditching Iplanet as client server) and installing Outlook (virus risk, security issues and all considered..).
Consider the amount of crap that can be found for the last couple of years on slashdot (I've read it long even before I knew how to run LILO),
I'd suggest to ban AC's and oblidge everbody to first to show their W.A.V.E. record, pass an IQ test, an medical test and show an attest of sanity.
To show of their haxors skills as well, they need to infiltrate into the national security agency and dig up their profile.
After all of this has been approved, they're certified of obtaining a./ username & to post replies on Jon Katz articles...
(If you think this is serious, then you're a fraud, your sanity attest if a fake, isn't?)
The complete video sender/transmitter 900 Mhz combo set on that guys site, for 20 bugs (ex. p&p), is much more interresting.. Just hook this baby to your Matrox G400 DH and a hacked Linux OMS DVD player playing on it and your set!
And like it has been for two years now.. especially the HPT366 & PDC20262 (maybe he now finally got the specs to fix DMA timing on drives like Maxtor & Seagate..)
BTW, Never try to get cross with Andre, I've seen some nasty dog-fights of Andre-versus-Linus on the kernel mailing lists, though Linus won, as usual, I still thought Andre was right.. (You can cripple ATA hardware to pieces, using the Linux kernel & a Linux virus, since their is no protection scheme build-in for it whatsoever..
BTW, does M$ supports CPRM? If so, we can stop the discussion, we've lost..
The sad thing is, that some ppl I used to know,
made such a system more than 10 years ago, for a graduating project, only they were stupid enough, not to exploit it.. (Can you imagine a 386 with a 20GIG storage media, back in THOSE days?) Could
have been a hit...
Exactly.. Linux claims to be an internet OS, but
every browser there is for linux at this very moment sucks.. Webpages under NS always look *very* different than IE, colors are just not right etc.. And NS always seems to crash when the connection has dropped or is congested (IE5.5 has that same tendacy btw, really annoying)
Really don't understand why that issue isn't
attacked way back.. I'll just have to put my hopes up at KDE2 than..
Money: Makes the world go around?
There is scientific evidence that the earth

Hinduism: Worshipping of all evil things like Shiva, the Godess of destruction and bringing
sacrifices.
Principally the same ancient believe know as
Baal (god of the heavens, also know as Lord of hell)/ Astarte (she who revolts, queen of heavens)-worshipping were the Bible is pretty straight-forward about..
Neo-Paganism: See Hinduism
New-age: See Hinduism
Budhism: Sacrificing your bad habits, seeking the small path to enlightment
(to bad they never seem to find the small path
leading to Jesus, so they could fill their need
for ultimate enlightment). p.s. A Budist once rose from the dead after three days (he already smelled like a corpse), he told the other monks it was all a lye, he saw Budha and the other enlightened people burn in hell (sad, but possibly true).
300 Budist became Christians, but the guy was
later on killed, because of his views..
Jews: "Ye Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one", the God of Abrahim, Isaac and Jacob is
the only God, to bad they didn't notice the Messiah came already..
Islam: They are getting closer, Jesus is a remarkable Prophet and His word is the Word of God, yes indeed, but without regonizing Jesus as Savior, you can't enter the Heavenly Kingdom.
Remember what Mohamed said about the other prophets? (Somewhere in "Yuna Yuris", or how do
you spell it) If you can't find your answer in the Koran, try the Bible..
Mormons: see Hinduism
Sihks: Every one should work hard for his living,
even bosses (yep) and everyone should be able to protect himself.. Hmm okay sounds reasonable, but how about a living relationship with God?
Atheist: Ever tried the Red Pill?
Religous Christianity: Didn't you learn anything
what Jesus said about the Pharisees?
Hates everything what makes life enjoyable..
Gives Christianity a bad taste in a lot of peoples
mouths..
Practical Christianity: Rare, takes Galatians

It's walking the small path to enlightment
and salvation, sacrificing your bad habits etc..
Another thing:
Yoga: Idiotic practice of worshipping of
the Goddess of Destruction (Shiva), definatly the primary ingredient for destroying your own life..

I read these posting here on./ with astonicement..
Certainly, in the States AD(H)D is over diagnozed,
judging by the great number of ADD-kids found in The States, because they don't add up to the numbers in Europe, but that doesn't means ADD isn't real..
I also hear a lot of BS about self-discipline...
It's really saying to a guy with only one leg
and a prothese, that the reason he's not winning the 100 metres run on the Olympics, is because he's not trying hard enough..
Any fscking idea what living a life with ADD is all about, huh?
If you compare a person with ADD to a regular guy,
it's a bit like this: a regular guy multiplexes his inputs from the real world and runs a routine
on every input, an ADD guy hauls all input in asynchronously and all routines run in parallel..
This has a tendancy to get a mess..
The fun part is, when you put a very complex thing
to a regular person and one with ADD, the regular person has trouble multiplexing inputs/things at speed, while an ADD person just accepts the stream
of inputs and is more able to decern the keys to
solving a certain matter.. Also the chaotic nature of it's brains, leads to much more creative sollutions..
(Only when it comes to planning and organizing stuff, it's really like going through a large array without pointers, with just a hunge where
you should lookup things..)
I think gaming is about doing a lot of things at the same time, without a major focus on any of those elements, which leads to good results compared to a regular person and leads to more self-asteem for a person with ADD..
("you see, I'm good for something..")
Yes, I've owned a Nintendo 8bit, 16 bit, N64, Sony PlayStation and when I turned 16, I started with
personal computers (didn't own one myself until I was 18) and maybe that helped me for the better..
Let me give small selection of things I've to bear with:
"You're the brightess guy I know, to bad it doesn't show in your grades"/"why don't you try harder at school, if I can do it, certainly you should be able to accomplish that"
"Mate, if you wouldn't finish school, I would be heavily disapointed in you.."
Well, sorry, besides trading school in electronics, I never finished anything else
because of ADD related symptoms or the trouble
ADD got me into...
Still I am a multi-discipline, creative, social guy (but very straightforward and honest and not all people like that), that knows more about
electronics, data-communication, Industrial Automation, Test&Measurenent, machine construction, computers than many other people
I encounter, but still I am not able to get certain key jobs, because I don't have the papers, simple because ADD is giving me a hard time studing and not because I'm lazy!
The reason why I say this, is because a niece (besides other relatives) of my has ADHD and is treated like a retard and kept a retard, just because she's different and that sucks...
ADD is a lot more, than having an attention span of a gold-fish!!
ADD people are not retards, lazy or weird people
that hate self-discipline, they are just different!
Here's a good link:
http://www.livingwithadd.com
(yeah, I'm to lazy
right now to html this thing, ADD persons still
*can* be lazy..)
Other info is readily available on the internet
if you really want to know something more about ADD, in stead of letting your brain produce noise
on your output leading to your mouth...
You are absolutely right, programmers aren't allowed to have fun with what they are doing!
In stead they should be doing something usefull, like improving speed and accuracy of hi-tech mass distruction weapons (purely for defence offcourse), or improve these meaningfull things like SETI so that the government gets more raw power to unraffel more of our earthly secrets..
Or do impressive work on a 3.10.xx kernel, which
will be obsolete after 18 months...
And certainly programmers shouldn't waste any time
either on those peculiar species called females, pure a waste of time, I say..
Yep, you are absolutely right..

Hmm, you left out Andromeda!
;-)
:-)
Lot's of Eye-candy, okay, but what a piss-poor script it has and every episode is majorly flawed.. Every episode of ST:TNG is even better directed..
I guess the only reason I still watch it, is Andromeda itself and with that, being a techie, I mean the ship, ofcourse
Hmm, does Galactica have a nice "ship" as well??
