While you're at it, how about suggesting an alternative moderation system. If you really feel strongly about it, e-mail this guy and let him know how you feel. But the majority of people here don't believe that, and this is just a fact you are going to have to live with, unpleasant though it may be. The only reason I mention it is because so many of you find it interesting.īottom line: If you disagree with me, fine.
I've even had a few moderators mark down perfectly good comments lately. I'm not sure whether you're the same person, or another, but alot of ACs have complained that my posts are "meaningless". Online? With a bunch of anonymous people I'll never meet? Just think about that alittle. and then turn around and post a few lines of mean-nothing text, which is essentially a personal slam and get moderated up 2 points! Oh, the twisted irony.Īnyway, I find it just laughably funny that anyone would believe that I'm here to 'be popular'. Funny how just before this you run off and say I'm an arrogant bastard hell-bent on some kind of popularity contest. People will learn that character is one's greatest asset, that hurting others is wrong, and that there's no "i" in "Slashdot Comment System" Unless I'm going off-topic, I really don't even see the need to include a subject line - slash already breaks this down for you. Would you prefer I put in a different meaningless filler line instead? How about for this one "G3 CPU" instead of "." ? "." is easier. Unless I'm off-topic (in which case I'll promptly be moderated out of everybody's way), the subject line is always on topic. This 11 fellow is already violating at least one of the rules that he sees every time he posts: "use a clear subject that describes what your message is about." Hardly a role-model for the community. the real issue is the length of time between reboots. they all need a reboot every now and then, be it to fix a problem or to upgrade. so what do you suggest those who are stuck using the affected version(s) do once their system starts bogging down for lack of available memory? (note: answers like 'use ' are not acceptable for this question :P) Well, ive heard early version(s) of windoze95 had memory leak issues. People who think that copmuter can be rebooted to fix problems should be taught properly. Slightly more reasonable, what if you (for whatever reason) decide to build a new kernel for your snappy open source OS?
#MAC OS 8.6 WONT BOOT SAWTOOTH G4 SOFTWARE#
if youre developing some program that makes heavy use of system resources and/or performs some extremely low level functions, it wouldnt be too unheard of for you to have to reboot after you discover a bug in your software that makes the system unstable or unusable. Read the AlphaLinux.Org FAQ's, HOWTO's and HCL before you buy anything.įor reference, here are a few (single-cpu) spec*95 figures. Over 6 months ago, I put together a PC164-500/64mb system for about $600. You can often find cheap Alpha hardware on eBay. Never dealt with them personally, but they have fast machines and a all-around good reputation.
I seem to remember stumbling across a sale (from Compaq) for these little monsters for $2999, though I can't find the link now. The 466mhz model does over twice as well as a G4 in SPECfp. Alpha pricing starts at $1295 for a 533-mhz bare-bones kit. I've had good luck/great service from these guys. They have tons of links to vendors, list-archives, news, FAQ's, etc. Unfortunately, Alphas have a reputation of being refridgerator-sized machines withĪ good starting place.
