Opera 7.10
by Amish K. Munshi 03 May '03

03 May '03

Greetings, I tried Opera 7.10 on RedHat Linux 8.0 and found it the best browser for my low end comp. It is faster than Galeon, does not have a rendering as good as Mozilla engine but does show pages pretty well (and did I forget to tell fast). A mail client integrated into the browser does help a little bit to speed up the work. I am sharing this with you for the only reason that one can show that even on GNU systems there are a few softwares that may not be opensource and can help companies to make money by creating softwares for GNU systems. Bye. -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/

Hi! Lines from Unix's source code have been copied into the heart of Linux, sometimes exactly and sometimes in a modified form designed to disguise their origin, SCO Group Chief Executive Darl McBride said Thursday.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Humour "Is Your Son A computer Hacker"

I believe tht you havent read the whole article, if u would have though you prolly would hav got the sarcasm here are some snippets frm the article ---Hacker Software--- Popular hacker software includes "Comet Cursor", "Bonzi Buddy" and "Flash". (Everyone knows what they are) ---AMD Processors--- (point no 3) If your son has requested a new "processor" from a company called "AMD", this is genuine cause for alarm. AMD is a third-world based company who make inferior, "knock-off" copies of American processor chips. They use child labor extensively in their third world sweatshops, and they deliberately disable the security features that American processor makers, such as Intel, use to prevent hacking. AMD chips are never sold in stores, and you will most likely be told that you have to order them from internet sites. Do not buy this chip! This is one request that you must refuse your son, if you are to have any hope of raising him well. It's a U.S based company --- Does your son use Quake? --- Point No. 6 Quake is an online virtual reality used by hackers. It is a popular meeting place and training ground, where they discuss hacking and train in the use of various firearms. (LOL.. You Be the Judge) --- Is your son obsessed with lunix--- point No. 8 8. Is your son obsessed with "Lunix"? BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program called "xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These programs are used by hackers to break into other people's computer systems to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people's stereos to steal their music, using the "mp3" program. Torovoltos is a notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as "telnet", which is used by hackers to connect to machines on the internet without using a telephone. (Notice how he has deliberately changed the name to linyos torovoltos... the actual name is easier to remember ;) and about breaking into Stereos is concerned all i can say is WOW!! ) --- Appearance change--- point 9 9. Has your son radically changed his appearance? If your son has undergone a sudden change in his style of dress, you may have a hacker on your hands. Hackers tend to dress in bright, day-glo colors. They may wear baggy pants, bright colored shirts and spiky hair dyed in bright colors to match their clothes. They may take to carrying "glow-sticks" and some wear pacifiers around their necks. (I have no idea why they do this) ( If thats the new dress code maybe i'm outdated :D ) 10. --- academics --- point 10 If your son is failing courses in school, or performing poorly on sports teams, he may be involved in a hacking group, such as the infamous "Otaku" hacker association. Excessive time spent on the computer, communicating with his fellow hackers may cause temporary damage to the eyes and brain, from the electromagnetic radiation. This will cause his marks to slip dramatically, particularly in difficult subjects such as Math, and Chemistry. (Math and Chemestry are difficult anyways even he has mentioned it.. hmmm maybe i sould consider joining Otaku :p) _________________________________________________________________ Still unmarried?

PCQuest Linux 8.0
by Royce & Sharal Pereira 01 May '03

01 May '03

Hi, Yesterday I tried installing PCQuest Linux 8.0 on my new Athlon XP 1800Mhz system, with A7N266VM Asus mobo.(Thanks to some of you who advised me to use Athlon over Celeron!). Now... When the installer(anaconda) starts, it probes the hardware..it displays "unable to probe monitor" & after emitting a couple of lines the system hangs. Using the options "Linux noprobe" or linux skipddc" as suggested doesnt skip the probe, & the same problem repeats again. I also trie the "linux rescue" option . Some of you have installed the PCQuest Linux 8.0. Maybe you can advise me... Thanks, --Royce.
