So, if you want to ensure that any derivative works remain under the same license, ie. to force them to "contribute back to the BSD project that created the code you took" then you should use a license that requires this. The BSD license does not. Rather, in contrast the GPL requires that derivative works remain under the same license.
It is just silly for the BSD folks to complain that the Linux people are abusing the 'sprit' of the BSD license - licenses have no 'spirit' - if you want to license to achieve a certain goal then make that one of the terms of the license.
IPv6 has stateless autoconfiguration, where machines are automaticlly given ip addresses. The first 64bit s of the address is the network prefix and the second 64 bits is a padded form of the 48 bit MAC address.
This is the similarity to IPv6, although i don't think that this patent stateless autoconfiguration to be a problem, although courts oftern seem to missunderstand computer patent claims.
You are thinking of PCI Express.PCI-X is faster than standard PCI but no where near as fast as PCI Express and is not intended as a replacement for AGP.
PCI Express, which is set to replace AGP comes in several speeds and motherboards will only have one 16x PCI Express slot suitable for use with graphics cards
So unfortunatly this will have no effect on CPU prices
or you could take an existing lithium ion laptop battery, bypass the protection, short circuit it, and then watch the lithium in it explode. just like the stories of mobile phone batteries exploding only much bigger. the point is that pretty much anything can be made into a weapon with a bit of effort (sharp edge on a torn coke can), and relativly methanol fuel cells are quite safe.
What about the ide layer rewrite which was started in early 2.5 but was later abandoned because of instability? story here If it was meant to be in 2.5 then it should shorly be in by 2.7.
if you read the site its says that it won't do divx encoding only DECODING. and will proberly just use mpeg2 for the PVR functions. anyway a divx player is cool
Since Tremor - the integer only vobis decoder library http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/ , was released cpu power hasn't been so much of an issue. palms are reasonable at integer proformance it was just a problem that the standard vorbis libary uses a floating point decoder. now that this is fixed i hope we seen portiable vorbis players released.
we all know that microsoft abuses its monoploy but nothing is going to happen about it. microsoft the antitrust case but avoided any real punishment. until real punishments are enforced this is going to keep comming.
the point is that you can't boycott a monoploy. if microsoft gains market dominance in mobile phones there shall be no choice. unlike pc's its quite hard to change the software on your phone. a antitrust cast may be the only way to stop this.
The p4 chips contains some asynchronous or clockless elements. Modern chips are running so fast that some data from some parts takes longer than from other parts to get to where it is going and therefore the rest of the chip as to wait for it to complete the clock cycle. Clockless chips do away with the clock and data is used when it arrives.

(What happened with PA-semi?)
Apple bought them. http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/apple-buys-chip-p-a-semi-chip-designer-intel-says-wha/
How long would it take you to debug that problem?
About 12 seconds. Run Python with the -tt option and it will tell you about lines with inconsistent use of tabs and spaces.

the timeing of this is interesting with today being the day that SCO has to show evidence in court of IBM's infringment on their copyright.

after k7 went through the horse series (palomino, thoroughbred, applebred) i hope the k9 series goes fido, rover, collie, etc.

try freevo, it can work quite well with a monitor & mouse. http://freevo.sourceforge.net
well then this will REALLY piss of cable companies http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/12/09/14 36215&mode=thread&tid=129

And as for the funkyness, anything to deal with clockless chips is funky
