Windows 2000? IIRC, "is" is only used for the present tense, not the distant

Subject: TEAC SCSI cdrom + cdparanoia
Date: Sat, 08 May 1999 18:09:43 +0200
Hi folks,
yesterday I purchased a TEAC CD532S to replace my old
Cyberdrive cdrom drive. The reason why is that I read on www.feurio.com
about the capability of the TEAC to rip audio tracks at 24x.
I rip the audio data with cdparanoia. My problem is that the TEAC isn't
quicker than the Cyberdrive (about 1x). In fact, my CD-Writer (TEAC55S)
is still much more faster (about 5 times!) than the 532S, used aswell by
cdparanoia.
It seems, that the 532S doesn't even spin faster. Only if mounted as
/cdrom with some datacd in it, it spins up to 32x.
A friend of mine uses a Pioneer cdrom (SCSI, too) and cdparanoia works
fine at quite high speed.
So, anyone who knows help, please mail me!!

If you don't have a compiler (you can check for a C compiler with "which
cc" or "which gcc"), you're going to find it exceptionally difficult to
compile anything. If that's the case, then you need to get a proper
distribution with gcc and all of the standard header and library files.
If you do have a compiler, the problem could be anything. It might be
helpful if we knew how far along you'd gotten and what kinds of errors or
problems you're running into.

I know many such families where every member uses the PC.
My own parents have three systems that they move around between -- there
isn't a one-to-one relationship between people and computers.

Typing speeds? The PIII now measures typing speeds? Or are you adding

They have to prop up the Mac so they can claim competition. Linux runs
on the same hardware that is the core of MS's business. Linux is much
more competition to MS than Apple is.

Why? It sucks that a third of the people hitting your web page are
using the browser that comes with their computer instead of downloading
a 15M file? Why is this surprising: it is, indeed the whole point of
the DOJ case -- the vast majority of people don't download browsers and
what comes installed or from their ISP is what they use.
I fail to see how it's relevant, though.

Duh. Of course it will work for Linux. See, once you turn off the PSN,
only 'ring 0' (ie, the kernel, or the bios before the kernel is loaded)
can turn it on again. All of Linux's security keeps users from
executing code in ring 0, so they won't be able to turn it back on
without loading a kernel module. If you run your web browser as root
you deserve to have your system compromised.

If they run as dual boot, and the linux half has disabled the PSN, their
only worry is when they run Windows.

Uh-huh. Let's blame Craftsman, too, since they make hammers, and

Heck, they use Linux on many machines at Intel, and no doubt Linux has

Please stick with accurate analogies.
I'd be completely willing to accept a free video camera from Uncle Sam.
But there's nothing that requires me to keep it on, focused on what they
want it focused at, or that forbids me from installing it on a lightpost
so they can watch my whole neighborhood.

I've never had a Microsoft OS installed on any of my systems. The last
Microsoft product I used was 'm80', their assembler for Z80 systems.

The problem is, as I have stated repeatedly, that people who spout off
nonsense about the PIII (from "it will make the internet faster!" to
"big brother is here!") are wasting their breath. There are FAR faster
CPUs if you want speed. There are far greater threats to privacy thaht
you are ignoring.
What good is protecting your PC's security when the network it is on
(and all traffic thereon) is sent in clear text or breakable DES because
of EAR? Or when you turn off the PSN yet Microsoft is busy stamping
their own ID onto every document you write? Or when Microsoft is
recording an inventory of all the software installed on your machine
when you do their "active update"? Or when you feed all your credit
cards into "Microsoft Wallet" to keep them handy, but not knowing
whether or not Microsoft is using that information and how?
You want an analogy?
You're akin to the person who thinks that privacy comes by unplugging
the telephone because it -could- be used to listen in on their
conversations. Meanwhile, you neglect the real and present dangers of
the windows, air ducts, and even the people you invite to your "secure"
meetings.
The very second that a Microsoft product is installed on your system,
you have given up all security. Attempts to claim you've debugged the
room are meaningless when one of the guests is a mole.

Actually, the Epson 640 is _not_ a Windows only printer, the 400 & 440 are
such. Epson, however, did leave out some of the standard printer codes from
the 640 which are all in the 600.
As far as Linux, you can get beautiful pics and printing from the 640 in all
three resolutions (360x360, 720x720, 1440x720) by using the Ghostscript 5.10
or later version and a filter, such as the APS.

you definitely don't want to turn off lilo. One thing you can try is
switching to another console with CTRL+ALT+F1/2/3/... and then changing
back the file (which one by the way?) or changing the default run level in
inittab to 3. Otherwise you could use LILO to boot into single user mode
by typing single user at the LILO prompt and change the file there.
And then add a mortal user to avoid using root for everything in the
future. Would probably have saved you from this if it's .xinitrc you
changed.
boa sorte, Gerald

Use the display number you got/gave when you started vncserver. Usually
host:1
