yes, you could argue that, but it would be a weak argument, because
the japanese were willing to surrender even before the hiroshima
bombing. keep in mind that the u.s. occupation essentially
capitulated to the japanese on the main stumbling block to earlier
surrender, the preservation of the emperor system. people argue
(convincingly, i think) that the bomb had little to do with the final
decision to surrender. you could also check the dates for the
bombings and ask whether the u.s. allowed the japanese enough time to
come to terms with what had happened.
for background reading on the attitudes that went into the atomic
bombings, may i suggest john dower's _war without mercy_.

Here's an idea. If you grant that Microsoft has a (near-)monopoly in
OS, then, as a remedy, why not remove that monopoly in a way that keeps
the government out of the computer OS business and maintains open
competition. My idea would be to give control of the OS over to 3 (or
more) separate companies (one of which may be owned by MS) and have
those companies compete with each other. In other words, each would
have a complete copy of the OS (and the engineering know-how to support
it). To differentiate themselves, they would then have to move their
copy of the OS in new and innovative ways. Yet, they would have the
engineering knowledge to incorporate innovations from the other
companies into their copy of the OS. In so doing, they would open up
new opportunities for getting into the MS-Windows universe.

Hi.

Go through default installations of both packages, try to run teh

Any suggestions appreciated. Path is correct in .sd.sh profile runs the

Thanks for the tips!
I have one more question about this.....say I disabled update and
I never ran sync but just kept saving data, what happens when all that
data fills up ram? Will I get some kind of error telling me I should
do a sync?
By the way, what's kflushd?

In the past I've used procmail to fit this need. If you
look at http://www.stimpy.net/procmail/tutorial/ there
is a great tutorial on procmail written by a friend of mine.
http://www.stimpy.net/procmail/tutorial/vacation.html specifically tells

I don't know of any solution to your problem that is easier than
upgrading the kernel, but I assume that you must have some good reason
for not doing so.
If you can get your hands on Partition Magic, you're in luck, otherwise
:-(
PM always does the conversion without any data loss (I know because I
use it frequently at work. Both FAT16 -> FAT32 and the other way works
like a dream).
The alternative to PM is to back up your FAT32 drive, reformat it and
put the data back.

First of all, you're comparing apples to a deluxe fruit basket. 125 Megabytes
is for Windows. 600 MB (actually, the official Debian 2.0 distribution that I
have is about 1.5GB) is for Linux (the Kernel) and a horde of application
software and source code. A fairer comparison is a typical Linux distribution
to Windows NT, Word, Excel, Photoshop, IE, MSSQL, IIS, VC, VC++, MASM and
Outlook. Of course, this still isn't a fair comparison, because a typical
Linux distribution provides a lot more functionality than Windows NT with only
those software packages installed.
And of course, there's the little problem of hardware manufacturers refusing
to open up their hardware specifications to OSS programmers, making it
impossible to provide software (AFAIK, there is still no SVGALIB support for
my Mach64 ATI video card :-( ).
For most people, the whole thing is irrelevant anyway. Most people don't know
how to use their computers. They know how to launch and use particular
applications on their computers, but they'd have about as much luck installing
and configuring Windows as they would Linux. By and large, computer users
have no understanding of how their system works. If you were to edit their
shortcut to MS Word so that it pointed to a:\foo.exe, a great many of them
would no longer be able to use word, because they have no concept of
executable programs, files and directories or shortcuts or links. In other
words, Windows is just as complicated as Linux--if not more so--yet people use
it all the time.

I think that you'll need to start up your network configuration and check
the routers (routing part)..
I know one thing.. the windows users need to set their gateway IP adress to
your IP of your BIG FAT RULING linux machine :)
and you can then rerout it to your internet account (PPP ,SLIP,etc).
and try to confince those WinBlows users to use Linux... (it simply doesn't
crash that much as Windows..)..
Linux (non crash livespan): around several months.. (if not years).
Windows (non crash livespan): around several hours (if not earlier).

If you read the materials that WSJ partially built their story on you will
find that WinNT itself did not crash, remote terminals did. Why? Because a
naive server application corrupted it's own database due to the infamous
divide by zero, and the remote terminals were dependent on that database.
If other software in charge of propulsion was also dependent on that
database the ship would have proplems. Basically, a naive server
application combined with naive client application can cripple any ship
that is dependent on them, regardless of what the OS is.
BTW, the ship was a test platform not an operational ship. I'd expect the
Navy to have low-tech alternatives as a backup. These are the same people
who use sextants and chronometers every few hours to plot a position, and
come remarkably close to what GPS and other high-tech navigational tools
say.

By ramdomly accusing innocent people of spam he seeks to bring the
anti-spam lobby into disrepute.
We've seen it all before.
Be gone, troll.
