Though now I'm on a campaign to permanently burn the i386 binaries and source disks to 2.2r7. Mainly because my luck with Woody up till now has been atrocious.
Microsoft never mailed anyone about major security patches that might have stopped the internet from melting down.
But when they have an opportunity to put their psycholinguistics team to use to get people to agree to pay for extra hardware they'll throw a few servers to the use of pumping out email for their cause.
In order to rot it would have to be unmaintained. Debian 2.2r7 was just released. So at most it is securely stale. If you want to change that then dpkg is for you.
If I change the name from "QUAKE" to "QUACK", will the performance drop by 20%?
Its a very good question given how some drivers in the past have predefined forced settings for when Quake is in play. Versus when something else names Quack might be...
the last distro they were willing to call "stable" is getting quite old now.
Their new stable is well on its way towards being. In the interim you can shift to the testing tree. You can also try to stick it out with stable and pull in the packages you need from testing/unstable.
I hope you're not struggling with Debian just over popups.
Nope, its a big goal for me in general that I did some fighting with recently. Seems like it really isn't ready for me.
Be nice if I could find some live help with it. RTFMing doesn't help much with bugs, and its hard to even RTFG (. ... Google) about the problems I hit. I only have one online system so live help on the net isn't horribly convenient.
I fiddled with the system for weeks, I got some books, I reinstalled a few times...in the end I just wanted to ask someone. But that never worked.
Yeah, I could be a full time Debian user by now if it wern't for that compost. As it is I gave up but have a partition empty and waiting for the day I feel like tackling nvidia driver kernal compiles, and trying to configure the GUI, and figuring out which mail program is the best (and most compatible with my current files), and finding a smoothly integrated PPPoE client, and polishing that all up...
I like the do it yourself nature, but it'd be nice to have a responsive help person even if they just say "I dunno" instead of the outright ignoring and RTFMs.
RTFM doesn't cut it when your tulip.o is outdated and you don't know where to get a new one, or even if tulip.o is what is needed.
If Linux was a car, it would still be that old junker that Uncle Fred keeps in his garage and tinkers with every weekend. He's having fun, but most everyelse just wants to drive someplace.
And here I'd say it was more of a Delorian that looked like the death star as far as not being completed yet. Only nutjobs in black hemlets or old men who like to tinker with flux capacitors really feel at home with it. Lots of people think its cool and build off it, some people just want the brakes to work and leap off in frusteration/terror. Others just look at it and with a strained smile say they're happy where they are.

I always burn this stuff to CDRWs.

A single year is a long time, and judges pass them out like they were arcade tokens.
Theres the other part, trusting a third party to make decisions you consider sane. See, I'm on topic!

Its your subject line.
Looks like the first Ogg video format is here! :-)
Drop in the right .dll and CDex should do the trick.
Yes it would be selfish, since Transmeta hasn't quite become a repackager of old tech.
:-)
If he worked at some plastic brain-drain toy for infants company I'd be enthusiastically behind you.
I guess a Windows CD would count as a plastic brain-drain toy.

Realsoft 3D? I'm curious to hear what this is capable of.
:-)
I've had an ear out ever since it was known as Real 3D on the Amiga.
Let's go straight to 4D!!!!
:-)
Ooops, 3-D in motion is arguably 4-D. But since the display is 2-D regardless I guess the best you can arguably get is 3.5D
Now I have to upgrade, already
:-)
(throws his $500 video card in the garbage)
Please note I'll be impersonating garbage cans all week.
Is there any support, planned or actual, for load balancing the on those dual NICs? Like the old Znyx multiport NICs?
:-)
Sounds more like a software issue to me. But you're citing hardware, so what do I know?
Flywheels seem like a great way to store energy, unless you want to use them to store energy in a moving vehicle. Just do NOT turn.
:-)
Run them vertical and don't go up/down any hills you'll be fine, better yet you can negligibly charge it by spinning the car.

what's Windows?
I forget every time I wake up screaming.
what does Alt-F4 do?
Its Windows hotkey for killing a program.
I think it allows popup on exits to run though.
I can't wait until I get Debian running satisfactorily...
Zip drives aren't worth free, they have an easter egg where they make clicking sounds and bad blocks. :-)
I still don't know what a mutex is exactly. And I used to be an Amiga user.

I don't see what wrong with a simple:
"You're a Peach"
Uhhh, yeah, they'll run out of water any time soon.
Ignoring the salt, they have at least one ocean's worth of water at their disposal.
armor plating, like in a Stormtrooper suit

Stoormtroopers wear plastic armor, duh.
Researchers reverse engineered the alloy from a mysterious robotic arm found in a manufacturing plant.
Also, in unrelated news. Bill Gates had a chip implanted in his head. On his way to surgery he was heard saying "I'll be back".
