And the average user not reading the list is going to know to run "yast2 online_update" manually how? Have you guys perfected esp/ip while I wasn't looking? :)
esp/ip. I like that. Copyrighted?
Nah, I can't claim credit for it. It's an old joke I read about years ago. I think it was one of those April Fool's Day RFCs...
What do you mean with "perfecting esp/ip"? What's the joke? (I assume esp = extended stack pointer, ip = instruction pointer, they're from ix86 assembler [x > 3])
I'm not certain if this sarcasm or an issue with language and/or cultural norms, so I will assume the latter:
esp == Extra Sensory Perception ip == Internet Protocol
ESP is common shorthand in the states for various forms of psychic or otherwise supernatural mental prowess.
tcp/ip is transport control protocol over internet protocol. It's how most packets on the internet traverse. (udp/ip is the other common system, used when error correction is unneeded, like audio and video steaming)
esp/ip would be internet by supernatural mind power.
LOL! Man, that was deep... Reminds me of something they were talking about on kde-core a few years ago: focus follows mind... Thanks. Cheers, Leen
