Well... The system will most likely be an x86, as it will run an AMD/Intel chip and run a Windows derivitive. To make things simple, Microsoft will probably make it something like a PC whuch uses a monitor (but the one reason I like consoles is that they DON'T crash... oh well.) So, by my uninformed guess, I think that Linux could most likey run on this system:)
Well... considering that this is becoming more and more offtopic and that people are being moderated up... Does anyone else find the banner ads for WINE seen on Freshmeat and Slashdot amusing? WINE stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator, yet the the banner ad reads "Need a Windows emulator for you Unix? WINE"...
This is definatly my experience with MS software. I run a dual boot system (well... more than that...) I have a Linux partition, swap dive, and 2 Windoze partitions. I, personaly, never would have even been able to try this without System COmmander. I am not trying to endorse the software, but I highly recommend some kind of bootloader which can deal with the Microsoft-overwriteing-the-MBR problem. SystemV Commander saves the MBRs to disk, and if it's MBR is overwritten, it can be updated via a disk utility. I have found this very useful.
Wow! I had no idea that so many people have problems getting X to work. I always thought that I would have more trouble than most with my new and unsupported video card! I use an ATl All-inWonder 128 thingy, and I can get 1280x1024 using xf86config (and I did it wilest being a newbie)! I guess that I'm lucky to have a Trinitron... I'm not trying to brag, but... I didn't know that getting X to work was so hard!
They don't nessisarily need "nutrients". Chemotropic and thermotrophic (I think that's what they/re called; its been a year since AP Bio...) can use chemical energy and heat, repectivley, to make energy which is usable to them. An example of this on Earth is geothermal vents, where bacteria use hot water and sulfur for energy. If there is enough thermal energy on Europa, I imagine that life could evolve on Europa. And, of course, their were no nutrients on Earth when life evolved... sort of... wel, there might have been. I'll leave you top ponder that thought.
I can understand why people can blame FPS video games with death, but I can't understand how any evidence is procured. I remember in the Comombine (correct me if I spelled that wrong) shootings, the media was saying things about how the stuents involved int the shooting played violent video games. As far as I know, so does every other teenage boy with a computer! This really cannot be used as evidence that video games lead to vioence.
I installed Redhat 5.1 a year ot two ago, with no prior knowledge of Linux/UNIX/anythingbutWindows. I was thirteen of fourteen at the time. The only problem which I ran into was that the install would usually crach, but I am fairly certain that that was due to some strange problem with my hardware (gcc had problems, as well). On an unrelated train of thought, I am very dissapointed with C|NET. They recently ran a review of the G4, in which they state that the G4 has "...Disappointing speed; same cutesy mouse and keyboard as the iMac...". Here's a link. They apparently used an office application to benchmark the speed, which gave lower preformance in the G4 than uin the G3. (I find it rather ironic that they also list the G4 in the top 5 leading edge PC's). I thought that someone might find this interesting. ***disclaimer: I have no opinion as to which distro is best***
Bochs IS open source. It is has a commercial license. A good portion of it is contributed and Kevin has commented may times that he would give Bochs a GPL if he got a lot of money;-)
The equation for g is not g=G*(m1*m2)/r^2, that is the equation for gavitational force. F=G*(m1*m2)/r^2. From this the equation m2*g=G*(m1*m2)/r^2 can be made, m2 cancels from both sides, leaving the equation g=G*m1/r^2.
I really cannot understand why people are so surprised by the idea of "extraterrestrial" (I cannot think of a better adjective) planets. If there are 9 planets around our sun, it seems very likely that other solar systems also have planets. Other planets have also been detected through indirect measurments, yet the excitment of these as worn off. This new "direct" discovery has refreshed people's imaginations, which I feel is a good thing, yet I cannot figure out why... Just my 2 bits
