  1. I didn't see any mention of 750GHz on A Well-Chilled 750GHz Feasible Within 5 Years · · Score: 1
    i saw chip speeds listed as high as (possibly) 250GHz - the main speed listed was 100GHz.

    maybe someone confused the 750Gb/sec with 750GHz.

    oh, i thought the FSF provided most of the tools for the OS, and linus developed the kernel and integrated minix support... my bad.

    right to life is not an etitlement to live off of the hard work of someone else.

    aside, your emphasis is just plain wrong. maybe in canada, lists of human rights are in decending order of importance, but in our consitution, all of those rights are equal and supposedly inseperable. it's my right to choose how to spend the money that i earned, just like it's the right of someone else here not to work.

    actually, the piece of sql you posted won't run on db2 with the 'TABLE' in there...

    i ran this (which worked fine, btw):

    select ac_type from hs.ac_acct order by ac_type

    this worked with every non-PK column in my table.

    this is on DB2 UDB 5.2 for AIX running on (not surprisingly) an IBM rs/6000

  18. Re:Debian does it better on FreeBSD 4.2 Is Out · · Score: 1
    does 'apt-get source gimp' check for dependencies, and automatically resolve those dependencies (i.e., download the source and build those packages)? The *BSD ports trees do this, and i've been trying to find a linux distro that does the same thing. i like building my system myself, and haven't been able to figure out for myself if there are any linux distributions that offer this functionality.

    it would seem to me that an OS used by so many who are proponents of the open source mode would have this feature, rather than rely on repositories of precompiled, generic binaries, possibly of questionable origin.

    just my $.02

    you didn't just put a small cut on the cable, and then gently pull the cable apart to split it? Works much better than trying to cut the entire length of the cable.

    also, i just separate wires in groups of five, so it doesn't take so long. Then, just stack them up, and use a zippy tie or electrical tape to secure. easy, and pretty fast. probably not as 1337, though...
