There is a monolithic port (read: no Mach layer as in mklinux) underway of linux to the first-generation PowerPC's. The (brief) sourceforge page is here.
2. Americans are damned arrogant and think the world should learn English to accommodate us....
I agree. Nothing is more
embarrassing than to be abroad and in line behind a fellow American tourist at a museum/castle/etc. who ignorantly yet unrespectfully demands in a shrill voice, "WHEN IS THE ENGLISH TOUR?!?"
I hope there will one day be a critical mass of voters for 3rd parties to give
the usual parties a good challenge. Until then, I feel compelled to counteract the mainstream voters. By this I mean to cast my votes so that no one party controls both the white house and congress. I understand doing this goes against forming a critical mass, but I have to protect myself from the other voters.
Apple hardware is plenty varied and is one of the reasons linux has taken a while on Apple hardware (the other reason being a smaller user base). Apple doesn't have major contenders in the
PowerPC computer market, so what they say, goes.
I'll add more questions. If you are a US resident, travel to Europe, and buy stuff, which
has a value added tax (VAT) already factored into the price, you can at the time of purchase fill out the paperwork to get the VAT refunded to you (later).
So, I'm wondering, for you residents of Europe who visit the US, do you get a refund for US state taxes? Do you have to pay the equivalent VAT (I think yes)? Thx!
Please pardon my ignorance (and do correct me), are there any OSes yet that
check for buffer overflow at the "kernel" level? I understand that's a "no" for linux(TM) since there is now the security auditing team combing through code. So what makes OpenBSD inherently more secure??
The school year is rapidly approaching, and
my GPA sux.
I had better join a fraternity
so that I can access their umpteen years of exams and class notes to study so I can ace my classes.
My real point is that it's all a matter of two things--content and visibility/scope of the information. My example above is roughly the same as the pre-internet days of sharing music. The audience is rather local. Jump ahead to the Gorian internet and suddenly information is everywhere, available to anyone. I could make
available over the web
the notes and exams from several universities. This to me is Napster. Now, would I get sued by somebody, maybe by the professors, maybe by the university? What if I sell the notes and exams?
I figure I would definitely get sued now basically because of all the Tuition Paying Units the universities miss out on.
(Note: I thought there was some web sites last year that were going to try this?)
>Combine that with a system that builds and maintains a "reverse bibliography" (i.e., who quotes this paper), and you
would have a killer app for the research community.
There's such a thing called the Web of Science a.k.a. Science Citation Index.
Some journals specifically prohibit the
posting of content through any medium that is generally interpreted and used as a repository.
Private web pages are likely to be OK.
With regards to how you can secure this system, well, you certainly can't do it over the net until governments start recognising
electronic signatures and biometric authentication is more common.
Clinton recently signed a bill that made electronic signatures legal and as valid as handwritten signatures. Granted, though, that the infrastructure and security to deal with this isn't in place.

Uh, intel is patenting the abacus? the chinese have beaten them by thousands of years.

Where's the one-click RMA page? :-)
IBM has an protein folding intiative called Blue Gene that was reported on back in Dec. 1999.
CNet's article is here, and IBM's is here.
No telnet client? No ssh client? Have the powers-that-be install a Web E-Mail server, such as http://ashaw.dyn.cheapnet.net/webmail/.
Because it's not a limitation imposed by the OS writers.
My pet peeve is the usage of rate of speed as in "...traveling at a high rate of speed." Technically incorrect, colloquially (mis)used.
Now if they could have a way to fill out the application with 1-Click technology, I'm in!
Not to mention that the links produced by a search are all redirects through srd.yahoo.com
The number would be a bit higher if opennap didn't exist.
Not to mention delivering the content they *think* you want (i.e., that which they can convince you you should have). Advertising is nifty that way.
