eh, I have no experience running FreeBSD as a user machine. Try setting up apache and your choice of db-driven web application on it... Then have a few dozen people try to use it at the same time.
I think that's the problem. 5.0 cries for mommy under even moderate load, unless SMP is disabled... which sort of defeats the purpose. When version #s go up, things are supposed to get better.
Maybe NetBSD is sparse on features compared to FreeBSD, but NetBSD 2.0 was an improvement over previous versions of NetBSD, at least!
What was sad was that it was originally implemented as some sort of population control. They somehow figured that less movement == less fucking and were horrified when people just kept having babies.
If you look at their birth/death rates today, I guess they had the last laugh. ^^;;
Here is a little more on OS/2, although I would not trust a goddamned thing that Dvorak says, if it's the same Dvorak that keeps making worthless predictions.
Maybe the guy is a troll, but Firefox used to regularly eat up hundreds of megs of memory. Now I make it a point to just use Ctrl-Alt-Del to kill all instances of Firefox every hour or so, which is hardly a friendly solution.
One thing I can say is good, though, is that eBay doesn't nail bidders for a fee as well.
You're absolutely right, thank God for small favors.
The only thing I can think of is that buyers outnumber sellers, and they need to maintain those high # of bidders in order to stay attractive to sellers... So they try their damndest not to scare them away.
Or something. I've never tried other auction places. ^^;;
In the time it took this guy to write the article, perhaps he could have added these data structures to C#/.NET's laughably impoverished System.Collections class. The big thing in the new, upcoming version 2.0 is that they're introducing, wait for it, linked lists.
Word. In the meantime, we're stuck w/ NCollection.

It'd be nice if we knew about this competition before it started :(
Maybe Nintendo and Microsoft should consider leaving the state? They could cite the hostile business climate...
Wow, this /. story is making it very easy to differentiate true nerds from posers.

Now I know I'm out of the loop... but when did Time Warner ditch AOL?

This had better not turn out like philosophy class, where the correct answer is "Why not?"
Citizens, do your part...

I'm happy that the FreeBSD people like their OS. Call me when they fix SMP.
Thanks for destroying rockbox's website. Does anyone know if the h1x0 port got anywhere or are they still at the "Debugger goes where?" stage?
Is the quote in your sig yours or someone else's?

The seller has to pay a fee to get an item listed, the seller has to pay another fee when money is sent via PayPal. That is the real price gouging.
The Free Lunch is Over, same thing you're saying, but now you too can beat people over the head w/ it.
I wasn't aware of PC, thanks!
Just give it a few days, and if France refuses to back down, they'll have their electricity cut.
What if you punished them for creating the Broadcast Flag by not watching TV?
Seriously, play World of Warcraft or City of Heroes w/ your friends or play The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords w/ your family.
If enough people decide to break the habit, maybe the bad guys will reflect on the error of their ways.
I'm surprised no one's linked to Paul Boutin's How To Steal Wi-Fi (and how to keep the neighbors from stealing yours)
