This isn't specifically Linux related, but it does involve penguins: http://www.bigidea.com/penguins/kids/k_spacedpenguin.htm It's a strangely addictive Shockwave game. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "Astronomers say the universe is finite, which is a comforting thought for those people who can't remember where they leave things." - Unknown

RE: [Wlug] Cheap RAM ...

The "GENERIC" manufacturer scares me a bit... Though on the same vein, I saw that Short-circuit city is selling "Centon" 256MB PC100 ram for 44.99 after rebate. Once again, I'm not sure if Centon is any better than GENERIC. Though for 120 bucks I could have 2gig of ram in my machine (provided my motherboard would support more than 128mb per slot)! Hmmm... now I just need a server motherboard that has like 12 memory slots!!! (kneeds hands together thinking about having to turn on BIGMEM stuff in kernel :-P) I went looking on http://www.thechipmerchant.com/19633-0.html (which I've had great luck with buying stuff) and it looks like there selling something comparable for 50.00 bucks... however they gave specific chipsets it would work with.

Aug. 15, 2001

It is with a heavy heart that I make the following announcement: After seven enjoyable and educational years, I am shutting down my last Linux computer. After taking out the parts that I need for my zippy new Athlon and donating most of the computer to my employer, I will have the following left over. I don't feel like dealing with Ebay, so I will gladly give them to the first respondents who contact me and are willing to pick them up. The items are: 1 Seagate Medalist Pro 1080, 1 Gb SCSI hard drive 1 Seagate Medalist Pro 2160, 2 Gb SCSI hard drive 1 Sony CDU76S, 4x SCSI CD-ROM Drive 1 50 pin internal SCSI hard drive cable. -- Brian K.

DVD's to bring?
by Keller, Tim Aug. 15, 2001

Aug. 15, 2001

Hey All, For the DVD demo thingy, what are people going to bring for DVD's? I'll bring "Ghost in the Shell". The thing that makes this DVD so special is that for some reason the authors chose not to encrypt the disk using CSS. Its the only non encrypted DVD I've ever come across. Tim.
