That's not multitasking: that's switching between tasks very slowly (unlike your processor which does it very fast). Multitasking is the equivalent of breathing and running (two or more things at the same time) - or having multiple processors in computer terms.
The point of his article was to get free advertising . Nobody would ever have heard of his shitty editor before this article.
But now, by sparking some debate and getting to front page of Slashdot, people will be trying it out. I don't care about your shitty editor and I never heard about it. kthxbye
Does anyone remember (given that there is no mention of it) the skype-intel controversy - where skype used a software check to determine if the running processor was AMD and disabled certain features if it was (regardless of the processor's performance)?
Either way, all the non built-in processors on my machines are AMD. My eee is the only computer running an intel processor - and even that wouldn't be case if I could pick. I care about performance, sure, but not as much as integrity.
The Asus Eee was quite successful and so were the Linksys wrt54/wrt54gl routers. We know the reason those units sell like wild fire. What I'm wondering is why Google didn't initiate a project like this? They have the money to resist being taken down before their product reaches the market.
But it should be LEGAL.
I've lost two email accounts because of spam: in the sense that I chose to abandon those account due the the amount of spam I was getting. So, sure... I hate spam. But you don't go making things illegal just because you don't like them.
I should be able to send an email, to who I feel like sending an email to (right now), without worrying about legal issues. Everyone should be able have that. It doesn't matter if they don't like what you wrote, or they don't agree with what you wrote, or they don't care what you wrote, or they are offended by what you wrote.
The person on the receiving end can very easily delete the email without even reading the subject line (or have that done automatically based on whether or not it came from someone they don't know). It's a load of peanuts to make this type of behavior a crime.
Hey if you are a spammer, I don't agree with what you do, and I probably don't agree with what you have to say, but I will defend for you to be able to keep on doing what you do. One day, the tables might turn, and you might be doing something other people don't like, and it would be a shame if they put you in jail, because they simply didn't like what you were doing, as opposed to that it was actually wrong.
Professional as declared by who? Free... hardly.
I happen to get all those "professional" tools for "free" through my University (as if they are so hard to get a hold on the internet). I haven't installed them, nor do I have any interest to in the future.
They are simply trying to create addicts - to get a grip on the upcoming generation of developers. I can assure you these are not "free" copies. The first dose (as Stallman best put it) is free. And that dose, is for you to learn to use the tool. You are not allowed to use it for commercial purposes, and your next license does cost money.
I'll be tuning my router this weekend as a wireless routed client, and switching my desktop to Gentoo next week. And when I get smart enough to help the open source Spartans, I will.
