note how it says on that page, that the pro action replay doesn't work on 9000 series psx consoles. consider that all of the $99 playstations that target etc have been pumping out are all 9000 series.
have you tried grub? grub is great, imo. it has everything you ask for; a cli - it understands ext2, so you can just do `root=(hd0,0)' `kernel=/boot/(whatever)' `boot' and it starts right up. and it has tab-completion, so you can browse around your fs to find whatever kernel you want.
and you don't have to reinstall it after each kernel upgrade.
there was a fix for >32gb drives folded into the 2.2.15pre series around 6 or 7.
there's also an issue with _lots_ of award bioses where they can't handle >32gb drives. award fixed this a while back, but many mobo oems haven't updated their bioses (like asus) - which is extremely frustrating. i have an asus p5a-b, and the only way i can use my 40gb maxtor is by having a 32gb drive to boot from, and not tell the bios about the maxtor. since linux doesn't use bios routines, it picks up the 40gb fine when it boots.
Well, I downloaded it- it compiled ok, but sure doesn't seem to work.
I run./bin/cscope common/edit.c and it pops right up. Tab over to "Find this text string:" and enter "SOFTWARE" (appears twice in edit.c) - hit enter. Nothing happens, except "SOFTWARE" disappears from the input field.
So- don't get all excited/agitated/irritated just yet.
PHP supports the GD library, which can happily superimpose text onto a PNG (or GIF depending on the version of libgd PHP is linked with) graphic. So you can just make a few button images (selected, deselected, active) and use PHP+GD to drop the correct text for whatever language you are using on top.
Yes, but before the days of frame-relay T1s, a T1 was run over plain point-to-point copper circuit, correct?
As I understand it an "analog phone line" as a copper loop terminated at the CO with analog signaling equipment to provide a dial tone, and the only thing making it "analog" is the analog eq at the CO.
And since an alarm monitoring circuit/dry pair/whatever is just a p-t-p circuit _not_ terminated at the CO's analog eq, I see no problem with some CSU/DSU eq on either end.
Of course, I certainly have no first-hand experience. Forgive my ignorance if I'm incorrect.
Does anyone know if this kind of circuit can be set up between two sites that have different telcos? I have a site in a rural location (serviced by CenturyTel) and would like more bandwidth between it and my site (it's on a dedicated 33.6k dialup, ugh) - but my site is serviced by USWest.
Actually, as I understand it, a dry pair is just a plain copper circuit from one location to another, without the "dial tone" on it. Since the telco already has copper to both premesis, it is just a matter of hooking them up to each other at the CO.
A T1 _used_ to be basically the same thing, but with a guaranteed line quality. The telcos are just bastards and overcharged/overcharge for it.
Nowadays, most T1-type circuits are run over a telco frame relay cloud instead of a straight circuit.
I don't know if the "alarm circuit" connections are also run over a frame cloud, or if it's the older style circuit.
Debian sure seems to be getting some corporate attention as well; Corel seems to think it's better than RH. And the Transmeta mobile Linux is Debian-based.
It's an issue of Debian's acceptance- less new people are likely to take a look at a 2.2.x "stable" Debian when they can play with a flashier 2.4.x-based Mandrake or RedHat.
I guess it all comes down to the long-term goals. Mandrake and RedHat, being for-profit companies are driven by the market they cater to to provide the latest stuff in their distribution. Debian has the goal of providing a free, stable Linux, even if it's not up-to-date.
But look at the "current" stable Debian distribution. It's so horribly outdated, it's beyond the "less flashy" area and getting into "less useful". There are many things that I _need_ to be able to do with my Debian boxes that I have no choice but to run potato or some other distro.
why is this a problem? there's nothing wrong with playing catch-up. the fact that there is a serious effort to make linux a true enterprise class OS is a _good_ thing.
the fact that bigger *NIX variants already have these features will just make it easier for Linux to penetrate the places it's bigger cousins have traditionally held sway over.
but think about it. Solaris and BSD are both descended from the "real" unix, and have had many, many years and lots of money thrown behind them to get the level of performance, stability, and acceptance they have now. Linux is quite new to the playing field, even more so when it comes to the enterprise market. Linux is starting to penetrate this market, even lacking the features of the upcoming 2.4 kernel. The release of 2.4 with the features it adds is only going to speed this adoption. This will get more eyeballs and more dollars pointed at Linux and opensource software, which is a good thing.
Or would you be happier if Linux failed and Solaris took it's place?

"The 1024-cylinder limit has been removed by a patch that uses the EDD bios extensions and supports up to 2 TB disks."
so it's just a matter of supporting a BIOS extension to read >1024 cyl with real-mode bios calls.

of course ymmv.

At least, that is what I have heard in the past.

"we assume that economic actors usually have accurate perceptions of economic realities"
I think that's a pretty big assumption to make. Usually, poor actors are more concerned with the next porno they are going to play a minor role in.

Of course, you can just recompile the stuff you want, but that is messy on a Debian box.
