How about people drop their silly excuse for a code tree? Jesus, now just what is THAT supposed to mean? You imply that the Jolitzes are somehow so godlike that their code doesn't stink? I'm here to tell you that if 0.1 was any indication then it DOES, and I have no reason to believe that Bill suddenly grew a massive dick and is no longer capable of generating anything but the most perfect act of creation imaginable. Get off the high horse - you look damned silly up there (that Napoleon outfit you're wearing doesn't really help, either). The Jolitzes have accounts on many networks. The fact that many "netters" perfer to be thought of as *THE* experts have driven them to a much more conducive atmosphere. That's Ok. They were driving a lot of us crazy, too! I think that it does little good to rehash that whole sorry period in our history - better to say that both sides behaved very poorly and leave it at that, since any insinuation that either side wore a white hat merits little more than an incredulous chuckle. even know what the "NET" is about. Take for instance the lawyer that posted an article advertising his service in immigration. His account was terminated in about a day. I'll let you speculate on the obvious. Yes, let's take that example - he's now back in strength, a whole pocketfull of cash from those immigration ads (if you can believe his press copy, and I don't suppose it ever pays to underestimate the gullibility of the average netter so I see no reason to really _disbelieve_ it on that score) and with full NYT coverage of his business as well! Ummm. What was this analogy exactly trying to prove again? :-) AHH... am easy question... While much of the *NIX world has been napping, the MS-DOS counter parts have move to an ASPI standard. The standard was started by Adaptec and other SCSI card makers. Bus mastering SCSI controller cards that are ASPI compliant cards should work. Easy question, stupid answer. Go read the ASPI spec again, find out what it's really for, see that it really doesn't help you boot off a CD (or use it from UNIX) in any kind of generic way since it's a software API and all the drivers are written for DOS, etc etc. And on top of that, you appended your signature twice - sort of the net equivalent of leaving the toilet with the toilet paper roll trailing behind you.. Nice post, Jesus! :-) Jordan -- Jordan K. Hubbard FreeBSD core team Friend to mollusks
