<0> Theo Deraady
<0> er De Rat :)
<1> jhicks, eh, my friend is into OpenBSD
<0> yeah, i've got friends there too
<1> and he's one of hte few people I know in real life who schools me in computer science.
<2> The newest MSFT OS's are super validating before they allow updates. The install a one time validation tool on your computer, then you can use thier update site after that.
<0> but the other projects have benfitted from openbsd's work
<0> and their advantage is a bit diminished
<0> openssh itself was a big gain for everybody
<0> openssh is more paranoid out of the box with its defaults
<0> er openbsd
<0> but a saavy admin can do most of that anyway
<2> Windows is getting better and better though. Only hard core windows haters deny that. Longhorn should be interesting, Windows media Center is significantly different than I had been led to believe.
<0> FreeTrade: I wish they'd stop using friggin backslashes :)
<2> Its not Windows Home with Media center.
<2> hehe
<1> FreeTrade, people who hate Trusted Computing (like my self) would disagree as well.
<1> Most of Windows is getting better
<2> Apple posts strong earnings but i think its factored into their stock price.
<0> I really do like OS X
<3> I don't really think that anyone denys that windows is getting better, the good news is that linux is getting better faster!
<2> I know people who would never use anything but mac.
<0> I run x86 linux on my PowerPC
<0> for development
<0> Virtual PC :)
<0> works great
<2> There are two types of MAC users, as windows users differ.
<2> There are always the habitural brand users.
<0> Yeah
<2> Habitual
<0> I just use it because of Jordan Hubbard
<0> he got me into it
<4> I visited a convent recently, tried to get into the habit
<0> har
<4> I visited the Shire recently, tried to get into the Hobbit
<2> Then there is my brother who doesnt want to know anything about a Computer he just wants it to work, he has owned apple/mac for 25 years or however long, I think thats close, when it required two floppies.
<3> jhicks nun of our business
<2> ONe to boot and one to run a program
<3> har
<4> break the Hobbit that is
<1> FreeTrade, I still have the type of Apple that requires two floppies.
<1> Apple IIe
<2> hehe
<0> junkie :)
<1> 1MB OF RAM!
<2> Well Then there are cross platform people.
<1> High tech mother ****a.
<4> PO: rofl
<1> jhicks, I know a group of adults into that.
<0> TAY, TXA
<1> There's a Denver 6502 group
<2> And there are nerds with their different preferences that are religious, some are even religious to the point of not just linux but Slakware
<0> yeah, it was a nifty little processor
<0> Bob!
<4> Z80
<0> Church of the Subgenius!
<4> 8080
<1> I use Linux and Windows, and I hope to be using Solaris soon too.
<0> FreeTrade: It's all a conspiracy to take away our Slack!
<2> I have been a cross platform user but only between windows and *nix, all I have done with Mac is helped my brothers when something wasnt working
<1> jhicks, my mom gave one of her friend's new borns a bib that said "Give me slack."
<2> heh
<0> hehe
<0> Give me slack or give me death!
<4> give us this day our daily slack
<1> I use Macs at school
<4> after Grace Slick became Grace Slack
<0> ewww
<1> and I use Ubuntu and Win XP here.
<0> Why'd you have to bring that old hag into it?
<1> And I plan on fixing up my SPARC box so I can use Solaris too :P
<4> but let's not talk about that
<3> jhicks ok - DEATH
<0> P_O: bah, load NetBSD on it
<1> Why load netbsd on a SPARC box when you could load it onto a ****ing toaster.
<0> sparc netbsd is pretty nice
<0> fast
<1> I want to enjoy my Sun box the way it was meant to be enjoyed :P
<2> This is interesting, would changing my system cache from my operating system drive to another take load off the CPu ? The CPU is barely workign now.
<1> FreeTrade, shouldn't really.
<0> P_O: ever work with solaris?
<1> jhicks, a bit.
<0> k
<0> just so you know
<1> lol
<1> Worst comes to worst I can put another OS on there.
<1> Just about every open source OS I can think of that has any nonx86 ports at all has a SPARC port.
<0> I'm serious, NetBSD goes great on a SPARC
<1> I could try to dual boot.
<4> coppertop and stamina battling it out to da spinach
<0> Dual boot works
<0> You might want to have solaris around for occasional aggravation
<1> lol
<1> No, that's my Windows slot.
<0> true
<1> Like an install program that BLUE SCREENS IN THE MIDDLE
<0> isn't that fun
<1> It's probably due to the computer.
<0> ok, i'm off to town lake
<1> But I hate the idea of buying a part to make a computer work
<1> buying parts is for making a computer better, not working
<1> Cya.
<4> damn hotels were RIPPING me off with their prices in Milan for the conference
<4> jhick: jerk
<4> I wish I could visit Austin without going to Texas
<5> how expensive are they?
<4> 140 euros per night ... and that was the "special" rate for the conference
<4> otel.com has the same hotel for 80 US dollars a night
<1> This torrent is going to take forever
<1> all the Pink Floyd Albums 2.4GB
