3D Visualization of Linux Kernel Development

Would a 3D tour of the Windows kernel code take you through the seedy parts of town? ;-)
Swear I've seen this before..... :-/
Yepee! Duplicates are what makes Slashdot great.
differeny....that makes sense
First Dupe!
Isn't this a duplicate story?
wasn't this posted a few days ago?

no sig for you. come back one year.
I remember seeing an article like this on /. before...
1f u c4n r34d th1s u r34lly n33d t0 g37 l41d
I even saw this one in the Amazing Future! but couldn't stop it...
Dope here. Thanks for playing!

jeeeze this is a REPOST!@!@
morons.
This is all about the differeny bits of linux, the other similar post was just about the different bits.
On March 8th.
it's a dupe
seven degrees of separation white boards from my college days!
(Yes, my "small patch" was rejected as too small to bother including)
Yes, that is interesting indeed.
I think in general there may be interesting research to be done in the area of mapping/visualization of complex data: for instance this project of mapping the internet.
Does this really help in general? Are there many cases where such visual maps would help understanding of complex data?
Think for example, it may be interesting to produce such a map of everything2, which is a sort of hyperlinked online encyclopedia, to see where the clustering is.
In astrophysics, 3D maps of the universe have been produced for some time, and the human-eye understanding of large-scale structure was at first more direct than statistical analysis--for instance, people would see the famous filaments, but stats wouldn't.
A post above quoted the possible use in spotting "usefulness" of code contributions, by looking at their interdependencies for example.
Reminds me the Linux kernel map... :-)
:-))

This was posted less then a month ago..
The search box at the bottom of the page, "linux mpeg" and bang first page results..
There should be able to rate articles as "dupes" posters of "dupes" get locked out of slashdot for 7 days. This might force people to use the search button prior to posting, At the very least it would keep Hermos and other staff locked out of slashed forever since they are some of the worst offenders.

Sure, it's a dupe, but it's been over twelve hours since the last article was posted. I needed some sort of fix. Thanks, CT!
Anyone else getting turned on by this?
CAPS LOCK IS LIKE CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL!
That would look something like a caffeine molecule I suspect.
Linux, the movie.
Do try to keep up, Slashdot.
a revelotionary stereoscopic news delivey effect has been achieved through multiple layers of duplication
...back to the war
Before adopting WHATWG, read the moonlight.NET EULA [http://www.microsoft.com/interop/msnovellcollab/moonlight.mspx]
yes I've seen this before.. :-P
when are we gonna see a 3d render of the windows source? would prolly look like a spiderweb tangled in another spiderweb and so on
Slashdot hasn't had a story in like twelve hours and now they're making a dupe to make them look better.
Flamebait -1

151 KBs and 15 posts so far? wow, all I can say is wow...
My potato gun was confiscated by the United Nations. They said I wasn't allowed to have weapons of mash destruction.
It's about Linux; who cares if it's a dupe?!

/. crew do it's job when they are looking at the site realtime?
On the serious side, when will Slashdot stop these fucking dupes? I read this site twice a day and I can remember this being posted before, so why can't the
Comparing it to Windows will be a moot point, since El Dorado is going to have a 40% larger code base than XP.
Now, if someone would write a tool to produce a 3D tour of slashdot stories ... maybe that would help spotting the dupes ;)
I predict someone will post a dupe of this in -24 days.
Christ, editors! HAVE SOME PRIORITIES!! We are at WAR, people are DYING and you post dupes!
...how about a 3D-visualisation of how dupes are interlinked on Slashdot?
Now the guy hosting this MPEG get to be fucked up the ass for a second time this month ;) I'm sure his bandwidth bill this month will be ... interesting (in the chinese sense of the word)
;)
I have a conspiracy theory that all these dupes are really a plot by the slashdot editors to batter into submission the sites of people they don't like. Hey, why bother amassing a botnet when you've got a "legitimate" one already
Sing up to Total-Slashdot & get these dupes 30 minutes before everyone else! Bargin!
Haven't we seen this already a few weeks ago?

"X is obsolescent," he wrote in a mailing list posting.
"I've been working in the Windows world for years now, and client-server display systems are utterly irrelevant to the majority of real-world computer users. X needs to be replaced by a direct-rendered model, on which a backwards-compatible X server can be reasonably trivially implemented".
X11 offers the flexibility of running your application over the network, but that power comes at the cost of speed and flexibility for most users, who don't need that capability.
"The idea of being able to remote individual windows isn't relevent to the vast majority of desktop users," explained Wexelblat. "So the paradigm really needs to be inverted -direct-rendered desktop, with remotability."
I swear this has been on at least three times, perhaps four or five. This is the most duped story... Please stop posting it CmdrTaco, we've seen it already, thankyou :)
Yep, this is useless.
I think this sounds good. In the Windows world, you can use Terminal Services/Citrix (not VNC) for remote desktops. It is VERY fast even over a dialup connection. That's because with Terminal Services/Citrix, only the GDI commands are sent across the network... not bitmapped screen images like with VNC.
And see what got +5's the last time this was posted and then claim them as my own, its the perfect plan to rebuild my karma.
Unless this gets modded down as a troll, then I'm screwed once more.
Read Errant Story.
uh huh.
I've seen maybe 20 dupe stories in the past six months, three sets within three days once, and a case when a dupe was a story already on front page and a copy of the second article on the front page.
The reason slashdot is still successful is obvious -- see this FAQ answer.
Cover your eyes and click this link!
I cannot remember when I read it here at /. but I recall a statement by CmdrTaco that he sometimes intentionally posts a dupe on weekends to get information about user habits.

...but I missed it whenever it was first posted. Anyway,just went to the page easily to look, because for a noob and a non-coder this would be a good thing but the mpeg is just too big, guess I'll skip it on my very slow dialup connection. Does anyone know of just a few static images as an alternative? A small page of thumbs perhaps?
Perhaps Taco is a visual learner, and needs to have all the URL's that Slash has linked to be graphed. That way, he won't duplicate stories.
Or perhaps Slash's search engine could be re-written to be more useful. I did a quick search for the previous story and couldn't find it. If the editors have to use the same search engine, it could explain why they sometimes dupe articles. Really, they see tons of stuff and it could be a case of "Hmm, I saw that submission before, but did it get posted? Let's search. Nope can't find it, Oh well, I like the story, I'll post it."
Rob -- If you spent less time trying to convince your readers that your sexual fetish is a "legitimate artform" , you might have noticed your own page ran this story several days ago.
Just a suggestion.

I have chosen Slashdot to make this announcement: We have decided the US is right and I just had a stick up my ass. We are sending our troops to Iraq to help free those poor people.

Something more appropriate would be "do-you-remember-what-you-saw".
.. and not very interesting. Certainly not very educational.
I mean, okay sure, it's the amazing, mysterious, magnificent and omnipotent Linux kernel. So I guess this means we should waste time doing things like this to "better understand" it.
Sorry. I am usually not this cynical, but sometimes enough is enough.

OK it's off-topic but enquiring minds want to know... it *seems* (I stress SEEMS) to me that Checkpoint has basically stolen the Linux kernel. They've got a product called "SecurePlatform" which is basically Firewall/1 on a bootable CD, with a custom hardened OS. Well three guesses what OS that is. Yup it's Linux, apparently based off of RedHat with heavy mods. Where's the source? OK I know it's only customers who HAVE to get it under the terms of the GPL but I can't believe none of the customers who bought this product would have put the source up somewhere. So Checkpoint, what's going on? References -- search checkpoint.com for "SecurePlatform" (Produts -> Enterprise). See also http://dir.securepoint.com/Hardening/Linux/ and http://www.ems-global.com/securitynewsletter/secur ityvol2issue9.htm -- search for "checkpoint" on those pages.
Could something like this be rewritten to display in real-time in GL and then hooked into a kernel level debugger? That would let you watch a kernel visualisation in realtime, get to see data pulsing between sections, etc. ;)
Perhaps not the most useful debugging tool in the world, but it sure would look cool

This new tool allows you to get a 3D view of the numerous duplicated postings on Slashdot. The axis's of the 3D space is story, time, and poster - so we can get a better understanding of the complex nature of Slashdot dupe's
guess they were right about the whole history repeating it's self thing.
If you want news, theregister + osnews + kerneltrap + nationalenquirer will gie it to you better than slashdot (and less dupes /speculation).
If you want a flamefest, usenet, kuro5hin, or freerepublic are better, and much more democratic.
Ok, now moderate me -1 redundant

These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
do you think we could get a visual map of dupe stories?
