I rarely reboot my Windows XP PC (rarely as opposed to the never of my Linux workstation and my AIX server), which is a marked improvement of the above, which held true with Windows 98.
Perhaps 'getting in the way of standards' is a good thing. If everyone adhered to what most of the world considered standards, everyone would be resigned to running Windows, and there would be stagnation in innovation. People doing things differently catalyzes the evolution of technology.
Its true. Another good example would be the PowerPC CHRP and PReP platforms (IBM RS/6000), which are not by any stretch a Macintosh.
I have had very little luck getting a Linux kernel to boot on my RS/6K (a CHRP platform RS/6K), only getting some really old Yellow Dog Champion Server kernel (2.2.14 i think) to load a few kernel messages very fast then panic because the scsi system that my hard disk was on wasn't supported...
On the other hand, I wouldn't want to run NetBSD on it because of the lack of decent SMP support.
Ended up just saying to hell with it and putting a proper copy of AIX on it. Its a great server now... Go Unix!
My first was Plainsong by The Cure. I made it a project to get it playing. Managed to get it to play back in full quality on my 486 DX4 under MS-DOS with an mp3 program that ran in real mode. Under Winamp, it would play in stereo if I downsampled it to 22khz. My sound card was a SB Pro 16 ISA non plug and play. Plug and Pray was sort of new at the time and I was running Windows 95. This was just before I tried Debian 1.1 (maybe 1.2, I'm not entirely sure on the exact version, i didn't pay attention to the toy story codename for that release, as i was a n00b). My first mp3 and my first Linux in the same month. The formative years, ahh yes.
I started my mother's computing on Windowmaker. She really liked it. It was on a cheapo old packard hell, and she got really attached to it and called it "Packy". Later on, she upgraded her machine a couple generations, and the people she got her computer from bundled it with Windows 2000. It didn't take her long to ask me to install Linux on it. I gave her a custom distro with Gnome 2.2, and she said it was more user friendly than Windows. Again, she upgraded a generation and went back to Windows (her new printer didn't want to work with the LFS setup). Now she is asking me to install Gentoo after a couple more months on Windows 2K. I think her computing has started on the right foot.:)
Many of the newer 'user friendly desktop' Linuces run as root, such as Lindows. While I think this is horribly stupid, it doesn't stop the fact that many neophytes to the Linux world will be running Gaim or equivalent as root.
Back when I dual-booted alot, I would keep my mp3 directory on the Windows partition which would be vfat so that it could be read and written by both operating systems. I understand this is common practice.
Actually, George Lucas stated that when you when future generations see it from I-VI, it will still be a twist, in that viewers will go 'he actually told him.' I don't necessarily buy it, it all depends on how its delivered really.
They do already. Jerry Seinfeld drinking a Coca Cola and placing it in front of the camera in full view, Frasier Crane driving a Mercedes or BMW, you see name brands on all the major network TV shows.
I don't know if it could kill ad supported television really. VCR's have been out for years, with the ability to time-shift programs, and hit the ole fast-forward button on the remote. Just sounds like a bunch of speculative nonsense to me.
The source of this is Aint-It-Cool-News, which has been a major source of false rumors since the prequels began to come out.
Aint-It-Cool-News is the source of such things as the Grando Calrissian rumors... entertaining, and surely a contribution to Star Wars fandom, but hardly a source of definitive reporting.
I would suggest that the editors do not place such things on the front page until they are confirmed from such places at the Official Site.
IIRC the fact of the matter is, regarding the nine part series, is that George Lucas realized while working on the sequels to A New Hope that he would not live long enough to make enough movies for a nine part trilogy (prequels included - read the original scripts from 1973-1975 and you'll see that much of the prequel material was already there from the beginning) and still be able to have time to enjoy life. So he turned compacted the events of the last trilogy into ESB and ROTJ.
It was something like...
Empire Strikes Back = events from V and VI Return of the Jedi = events from VII-IX.
That way he would only have to do one more trilogy, and that would be the prequels.
Some of us were too broke to upgrade to them shiny new Pentium 133's that were state of the art at the time MP3 started to become popular in the 'warez' and irc circles.
My experience was that my 486DX4-100 had similar problems with mp3's. I didn't go mono with mine, i just set them to downsample to 22Khz, and that worked fine.

SFU still has GCC in it.

they should just stick to movies.
And Nemesis was great, right? Puh-leese.

You're waiting for some marketer talking head guy to wave a magic wand and call it a "viable technology" or you are trolling?

Damn, you know a server needs work when its slashdotted from a comment and not even in the article. :P

They could always centralize kernel development in another country where the FAT patents are not recognized by law.
Pretty damn close. I've been seeing the number of guests peak at close to 800 before it dies...

Thanks for the mirror. 'tis appreciated.
Overclocking? Huh?

SolariX?
Then they could start the numbering all over again, like with SunOS.
Just a year ago, when I was in the Portland area, I saw a Wells Fargo ATM machine boot up with the OS/2 boot screen.
Just because something isn't on your desktop does not mean its dead.

I am taking this story with a grain of salt.

Further yet, the *BSDs I'm familiar with prefer to use BSD tools over GNU tools (which is why you'll never see "GNU/FooBSD" in your lifetime).
