What you mean is, can you have 64bit Windows... since most other operating systems have had a 64bit version for a long time. HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, MacOS X,...
Come on, in this world of geeks, we can't live without color terminals for colorised ls directory listings, or funky prompts:)
My recomendation would be to install the X server and run xterm, though it probably wouln't look to, sexy compared to the rest of your desktop I've not had any problems with it.
I can just imagine it now, your straifing around a corner, gun cocked and ready at a door then suddenly in the distance a billboard comes into view and you start downloading a huge image to display on it.
Guy comes out the door and kills you dead while your lagged:)
China's managed to firewall off there country to regulate what there citizens see on the net, so france could just take a page out there book and firewall off there countary.
Or they could sit back and re-think there anti-hate laws, surely in the campaign for anti hate, it should be illegal to hate those who hate?
I know somone with a K5 ID under 20, but really you only get ID's that low when websites are so new no one knows about them, never know if it'll take off but hey sometimes it happens, my slashdot ID's looking rather low these days though 4 digits would have been nice.
That or as many other places, not giving people access to UID's since it just creates uid pissing contents:)
I expierenced many problems with XFS, most notably files would shrink to 0 bytes in size every now and again when the system crashed without closing files, which for a journaliing filesystem I'm sure isn't supposed to happen.
ReiserFS 3 has been my stable FS since then, and I've not had any troubles, far faster than XFS for dealing with small files to boot, admitidly I do miss the ease of playing with files of over 500Mb as quickly as XFS, but for stability I'm happy with my move.
Someone also mentioned bad block handling, personally I'd rather see some form of data recovery built into the OS, at least so I can pull of as much data as possible, even a 1/2 complete file is better than nothing when recovering a system from HD failure.
Yes ever hashing system has collisions, but really to check two files are the same which might have been corrupted naturally, use CRC, MD5 and other secure hashing alogrythums are just better against inteligent tampering. CRC's will catch an insanely large percentage of random data corruption and is faster than pretty much anything else, MD5's and SHA's are slower but much harder to fake.
Would be nice to have danger signs which warn of impending accident hotspots, I'm sure people would slow down more if they saw a sign saying 'Danger of Death - Accident Blackspot' than the currnet 'SLOW'.
Of all the things to wire up thermostats with, ethernet wouln't be my first choice, sure you can plug it into your existing network infastructure if youre totally un-concirned with security, but it means farily bulky cables and network hubs/switches to install just for temprature monitoring.
Depending on the requirements, a ground + data/power could be used providing virtually effortless wiring with tiny cables, or for more demanding systems power+data, and thin 4-pair telephone cable for a full RS422/485 balanced-pair system for noisy envrioments.
You can probably get such systems, and probably IP-enabled controll units for them, overall probably cheeper, easier and more secure.
The GPL doesn't allow this kind of distribution unless the whole is covered by the GPL. Therefore there is no non-GPL covered code in linux. (atleast not in the versions they distributed)
Unfortunately though your first statement is correct your conclusion drawn from it isn't.
There does exist the possibility that code exists in side the linux kernel which isn't covered by the GPL, and that case is stolen code, where people have claimed they wrote code they didn't and put it under the GPL but never had the right to do so in the first place.
The GPL adds ontop of copyright, if you don't have the copyright in the first place you can't add the GPL:)
It would be easier for games which don't come with some sort of copy-protection to print it on the box, I've not seen any in a long time which don't.
Usually it's the publishers of the game, since there often the ones funding the whole thing they tend to put a global policy in place to copy-protect every CD they send out, some are better than others.
I'm sure watching deathmatches in Doom3 or any FPS would be far more interesting if there were properly setup cameras, most of the demos are watched from the eyes of one of the players.
A nice set of panning views giving a good tactical overview like a football game would probably be far more entertaining:)
A truely good point, so many people think they go hand in hand because of the cold war but just like D&D's Good-Evil Law-Chaos, there's two axis on the goverment scale with Democracy-Dictatorship, Communism-Comercialism.
You can have a democratic communist state and a democratic commercalist state as well, though no ones really pulled off the democratic comunist system, most communist states fain the idea that there democratic but a one party democratic system is a dictatorship.

Disclosure is one point, the other is advert supported programs have nice little boxes and parts of the GUI they fill with an advert.
Spyware tends to work out what your doing tells it's servers that and then optionally feeds you with replacement adverts or popups, so youre looking at a shop which sells trading cards and an advert pops up for another store which claims lower prices say.
But then more and more advert supported software is going back to plain old demo/shareware/timebomb arangements (case in point getright).

I think it's more, if youre going to do Sender-ID, your going to do it our way, and if you don't we can sue you because weve patented it.

Yes but until it's cheeper to make hydrogen from water than it is to make hydrogen from oil, were still going to end up being dependent on oil.

The olympics is a good cause, but it needs money, and geting that money there exerting power...
Question is, when does the olymics become a bad cause because of the rules and money regarding sponsorship and publishing rights?
How do you know it's a mistake until youve tested it and proved it was a mistake :)
Though I guess the really really really smart people make a 2nd mistake in a isolated model where they controll each of the parameters.
Patenting ancient ideas but with the twist that youve done them with modern technology.
I wonder if anyone tried to patent the writing of score-boards with white-board marker pens instead of chalk yet?
So ya-boo sucks to the rest of you... admitidly I've had the account since around 98' so I was probably early on the list.

Well looking though there, it looks like my system already has many copy-protection systems which are using this trick: C-Dilla, secdrv,...
Of course my PC is crashing with kernel faults every other day now, this could explain it.
