Wow, this like what my 1993 SparcStation 10 can do. You have a single CPU unit with multiple framebuffers, thus allowing for up to four sets of monitors, keyboards, and mice.
I guess India just got all those golden oldies we've played 15yrs ago. Yesterday we've played split-screen car racing games, side-scrollers and today we're writing texts in pairs.
Speaking of OpenBSD, its firewall (pf) has an option to filter packets by originating operating system (very useful if you're adventurous and willing to add something like ' block in quick on $ext_if from any os "Windows" ':) ).
We're right more than we thought. I just opened my browser, and lo and behold, there's an article whose title says: Engineers write defence against aliens manual. They even get to call Carl Sagan (God rest his soul) a jerk.
It seems conspiracy theorists will have a field day with this one:)
Are United States expecting some kind of alien foothold situation?:) Airborne lasers, laser rifles, Star Wars satellites, exoskeletons, wearable computers, hand-launched intercontinental ballistic missiles, atomic and neutron bombs, personal shields made of liquids, harmless skin burners...
I don't know about others, but this sounds pretty much like stuff we could read about in comics and watch in cartoons. Wouldn't it be funny if somewhere in a small well-guarded room there's a top-notch team of physicists
that does research on new weapons by reading comics?
To compare to an x86 system, that would be like having a low-power CPU, north bridge, south bridge, SATA controller, ethernet controller (but not PHY), memory controller, I2C interface, USB controller, interrupt controller, etc. all wrapped up on one chip.
...if finding of this planet caused all the important instruments being pointed that way celebrating new horizons while at the same time an asteroid crept upon our backs and caused a total extinction level event.
Although it's not very probable, I wouldn't be a bit surprised. Not that we'd be able to do anything about it anyway considering our technological preparedness.
I feel like I've got to ask this - in the university, who works for whom? Do the students work for university (where they get paid for this work) or do the students pay for being taught? And if they pay for being taught do they give away for free to the university their homework/test results? That is, do students pay for working?:)
Actually, the origins of the tie can be traced way back to ancient Greece (or maybe Rome, I'm too lazy to go look now). It was simply a scarf tied in a specific style to keep the neck warm.
Actually, they can't. A tie (in original - kravata) is a Croatian military accessory from approximately mid. 1600s. It gained popularity when Croatian troops helped Luis XIII./XIV. in some long forgotten war.
More info here.
Other trivia includes:
There are 85 ways to tie a tie
Only 10 are symmetrical
The most known is a Windsor knot
How come Croatians invented the tie? Well, the reason is love (hmm, explains why some geeks don't like ties - no love, man:) ) Women gave their men a scarf/handkerchief when men had to go away to wars as a token of love and loyality. When the fighting began, men had no time to dress up and they invented a way to fixate them around their necks.
Actually, pretty amazing. That shows a lot of intelligence - what is she doing as a prostitute? Obviously, she has a lot of other talents to offer the society.
If we all started at the same point 15 billion years ago then I don't see why automatically another civilisation will be ahead of us.
We just need to look away from the center of the galaxy - it's where older solar systems are. Anywhere nearer the center it's just too "early" to start intelligent life - or at least one which needs to use a lot of thinking.
We're probably advanced the way we are because we had a hell of a good streak of good luck like not having all the nearby stars near the center shining too bright on the "night" sky.
Now extrapolate human technology forward 1 million years.
I have a problem with this - what guarantee is there we will have enough _energy_ to advance our technology for 1 million years? I mean, think about it - we're using a lot of energy just over a century since starting to use the oil. What happens when oil runs out? No plastic, no easily made polymers etc, etc.
Sure, we can deploy nuclear fission or fusion (in a few years if it works), but nothing as easily used as oil derivates. Let's just not forget that we need an average nuclear plant to work for four years to return the energy used for building it.
In my opinion, right now we've got more pressing needs than space travel.
Sorry, the "issue" you're looking at is likely called "users"
Sorry, the "issue" you're looking at is likely called Win XP Home which has no (obviously available) ACLs (IOW, file-level access controls) and other "security thingies" built in/enabled.
So, majority of home users use xp home which is inherently insecure - by design.
And what better way to do this than using a live cd with newb-friendly documentation and possibly a series of short movies that show how something is done?

Too bad MediaGX didn't got spread around enough.

EDGE bypasses registers: the output of one instruction is fed directly to the input of the next. No need to do register allocation while compiling.

Whoa, implementing unix pipes in hardware, low-level style
I am SO confused. I thought information wanted to be free?
Sure. Use my work. But don't sign your name over mine.
I feel like I've got to ask this - in the university, who works for whom? Do the students work for university (where they get paid for this work) or do the students pay for being taught?

Ah, questions, questions...
But, but, but...where will the girls be?

what the fuck is it with pointers that is so difficult?

Gentoo (and in general, Linux) won't compile on a 286. You'd need at least a 386.
:)
I see no biggie in _compiling_ gentoo on 286 - running the thing could get messy
I've been looking into very same thing and found this article.
Hope that helps.

Anyhow, let us know how the VAMP (Vista+AMP) works out for you (or bleeds you dry
It would be cool to try how it works... perhaps one day when that Solaris DVD arrives.

For the record, my SUV gets 18 MPG.
And that's a good thing? The thing is a pig. My car (Mercedes 190D) uses ~37 MPG. Sure, it uses diesel, but can be easily converted to use bio-diesel.
Let's face it people, there already are environment-friendly cars. The problem here is the driver's ego.
We need to educate users AND give them Linux.
And what better way to do this than using a live cd with newb-friendly documentation and possibly a series of short movies that show how something is done?
