Perhaps, but SGI is working on a B1 certification for Linux
(subdomains and such). Have fun with your C2 for as long as you can!

It's marked experts-only in 2.2 and 2.4 (Linux).

There's no FUD to this. This is PER Microsoft.
When W2k came out, during the install process the
license authentication phoned home to Microsoft.
People found out about it and cried foul!
In Microsoft's new EULA they will simply state that
*** YOU *** agree to this on a permanent basis.
That's .NET.

They have doubled the price of every new OS they have come out
with. NT full install was $189. W2k is $350.
Whistler will be around $550, you watch and see.

They claimed W2k fixed the instability of NT and
also made the UPTIME unlimited.
Proof - studies already run have shown W2k to have
just double the uptime of NT, but not unlimited.
And W2k will still bluescreen under heavy traffic
and lock up.

He wants to know the reason why rasterman wrote the Elightenment
window manager in such a way that the user is required to edit a text
file in order to add an item to to the root menu (why doesn't he ask
rasterman?). It's a straw-man; he knows that neither GNOME nor KDE
require this (just like his pseudo-problem with the nameless CD player
he used). He also has major problems with his Soundblaster Live, even
though the card has been in the kernel for years.
He asks these questions over and over and over.
It's best to ignore them.

Actually, what I find EXTREMELY interesting is that the price of western
European and American goods in Russia are almost identical to that in the
US. For examples, a pair of Levi's jeans costs $50 there, just like here,
same thing with computer hardware (cases, keyboards, CPU's, everything).
So, basically:
In the USA: 1 Windows CD = Several pairs of Levis.
In Russia: 10 Windows CDs = 1 pair of Levis.
What does this tell you?

Translation: You have been successfully manipulated by Microsoft's strategy
of sabotaging 3rd-party code through their "churn the API" technique.
Congratulations, you're not only an idiot, but you're several hundred
dollars poorer, to boot.

There ARE things people interpret as MISSING from what they
envision as a base kernel. Things like Reiser or maybe you
have a RAID card which needs to be supported that you will
be required to ADD a patch for. But these items are being
INCLUDED on new kernel sources. It's all a part of
development.
Reiser will be in 2.4.1 officially.
Before 2.4.1, distribution makers would just add the
patch to THEIR verion of the kernel.
Likewise, RAID hardware card support was the same.
For a while distribution makers would add the patches
to support the cards, compile their own kernels and
release the technology in that way.
But the people at kernel.org are making these items
standard over time as they are TESTED thoroughly
so that they will be in all distributions in
the future.
Operating systems such as Debian are the most
thoroughly tested OS's in the world.
And the people who put the Kernel together
perform the same rigorous testing. It took
them 2 years of work to go from 2.2 to 2.4
versions of the kernel. So when the 2.4
kernel was released, it's quality is very
high.
The 2.3 beta's were IN USE for just about
all of 2000 being tested at home and in
commercial environments.

Because, IN THE REAL WORLD, that's PRECISELY what fucking happens.
The difference is..in Unix, the program crashes...and nothing else.
In Windows, the WHOLE GODDAMNED PIECE OF SHIT SYSTEM GOES DOWN.

Under normal usage, a crashing app will crash ALL of Windows as well.
By definition, that's a fault, fuckface.

The retarded sisters: Raunchy (rauni) and Anencephielle (Enielle),
