    Ouch...I'm on a V90!

    I haven't a hope in hell of downloading that video file! Let me see...217Mb at about 4K/sec average...no thanks.

    However, by the looks of the blurb on the site, it looks like it could well be a...

    Hmm...

    I don't have much of a point of reference here. I have a couple of old 1.2Gb Maxtors kicking around and they fairly rattle when they read and write. I wouldn't worry too much about it if the drive...

    Well, to be honest...

    I have seen Linux crash under circumstances which didn't justify it. I think the setup I managed this on was Red Hat Linux 5.0, Kernel 2.0.36, running wu-ftpd 2.6; if you hook up to the FTP server,...

    It might be fun also to cover octal - it's still useful you know! Possibly extend this tutorial to cover the representation of different types of data, like floating point (mantissa and exponent)...

    Hmm. Well.

    Linux clearly doesn't suck. I've used it a lot and have never had any reason to complain about it - and I've used Windows about as much and complain about it regularly. Basically, if you're...

    The smallest system you can run Linux on is a 386 with a floppy drive. The smallest I'm currently running it on is a 386 SLC/25 with 8Mb of core and a 420Mb disk. You don't need FPU emulation just...

    My usual rant

    Well, as usual I'm going to just say steer clear of BASIC since it encourages bad programming habits and isn't at all useful in the real world. Something worth bearing in mind if you're planning to...

    First off, I don't see that this post is that much more pointless than any of the other ones I've seen so far on this board. If you'd like to point me in the direction of one of those alternative,...

    Roll your own, so to speak

    I don't approve of people using trojans to attack people, but I would say that if you want a trojan that won't be detected by antivirus, the best way to go about it is to write your own. That way...
