Except the Duron is identical to the Athlon except for cache size. They didn't cut bus back or take away the double clock. It's closer to the difference between a P3 and Xeon.
You could try Openmail for a non-free solution. It is supposed to have all the functionality of an exchange server without needing NT to run on. It's available on HP-UX, IBM AIX, Sun Solaris and Red Hat and used to be on SCO Unix and NT. Supposedly it is free for up 50 users if you are willing to get a new license every 6 months. I've downloaded the Linux version and have just started installing it so I don't have any real feedback yet.
The first PII chipset was the 440FX chipset which used 72pin SIMMs which only come in 66Mhz. This wasn't a flaw but it was a limitation for the future. It also couldn't handle anything beyond a PII 300(including Celerons) because it couldn't handle the new core voltages.
I realize that some manufactures like Dell sold FX chipset based servers that supported a 333Mhz PII with 66Mhz EDO DIMMs. I don't know if there was a revision to the chipset or if they made some work around. The point is that your father bought a transition motherboard instead of waiting for an LX board with AGP. You can't blame a chipset for not supporting technology that hasn't been released yet. That is a limitation in the future but how are you going to second guess the future. Intel tried with Rambus with less than ideal results.
I went to a Microsoft e-commerce meeting and they handed me a couple copies of the Win2k RC1 for free. I wish they some something to say but at least work sent me so I wasn't out anything.
They are not the same thing. Empeg is a car player and Rio reciever is a home receiver that uses the phone lines or ethernet. The Rio Receiver is being distributed by Dell and possibly others but I haven't heard them confirmed.
will anyone actually trust it. Considering their history, they will have to show us the code. I'm a lot of people will want the code to compile themselves to make sure there isn't anything hidden in a binary.
I bet 10GB of RAM will be standard long before 10 years. You could get a lowly Windows machine that will run 32 CPUs and 64GB of RAM today. I remember 3 years or so ago. A server with 2GB of RAM was just ridiculous and most had 128MB or 256MB. Today 128MB and 256MB desktops are common and a lot of people have more. There are several new technologies that could see production in the next 5 years that make huge leaps forward(if they pan out).
He said Professional-quality graphics programs . Corel Draw and Gimp are not in the same class as Photoshop and Illustrator. Don't get me wrong they are good and 90% of the people out there don't need Photoshop and Illustrator but they might want them.
I've considered a PS2 but I still will keep my Windows partition for the type of gaming I do. A PS2 doesn't do very good on UT/Q3/Etc. mods or custom maps for the strategy games I like to play.
I can do without winanything(winmodems, winprinter, etc.). Windows can keep those pieces of hardware.
StarOffice works fine for me too but it is a more resource hungry than I would like. I can see why people with less than top-of-line computers complain about it and I'm not a fan of the integrated desktop. Hopefully the open version will get leaner.
Freetype doesn't fix everything but helps a lot.
We will have to see if Intervideo will actually release LinDVD. They look like they might be closer but they have been taking a lot longer than people want to wait. They better have been chipset support than there current list because I don't have any of those video cards.
The more cases they have to have open at a time the better. They all need to demand that they get their own trials and make MPAA rethink how long they can keep this up.
Didn't you even read the article? I'd have pasted directly from it if I didn't think I would be accused of being a karma whore. Obviously you have to increase the bus, that's whay I said they bumped the FSB(Front Side Bus). I know a lot of people have over-clocked Rambus on 820 and 840 chipsets but I'm talking about Sharky's experience on the pair of 850 chipset motherboards in his article.
The article you supposedly read and an excerpt from it. The P4T charged Quake III up to 239.4fps- truly way too fast for anyone. The multiplier was set to 16x and the FSB only worked set up to 105MHz with a 4x multiplier for the RDRAM (420Mhz RDRAM). That was where it knocked itself out. We had to use the 3x multiplier for the RDRAM and thus it wasn't working as well as it could (wasn't quad-pumped).
P.S. I'll just say it for you in case you needed feeding. "YHBT"
I agree that Be's commercialness will make a lot of the companies that will develop these products more happy. Some of them are a little leery of Linux because they perceive it as a potential lawsuit from RIAA. It doesn't matter if they are right or not because it will still affect thier decsions. A commercial OS allows them to protect what IP they do have(real or imagined) and they can hide it behind NDAs. Some developers don't want to hassle with issues concerning GPL. This is a case where they may be willing to use a BSD style license but Be has done all the work for them so why should they delay things.
I agree that you should use the tool for the job and this seems like the right tool for this job(not the only tool though). I have an old Micron server that I used to test BeOS on (PPro 200, 64mb RAM, SB16, etc.). I was fairly impressed on how smooth it ran with a bunch of AVIs and MP3s simultaneously without missing a beat. What it does, it does well but unfortunately it doesn't do everything. I believe that BeOS will have it failings for more political reasons than technological reasons.
True but the majority of the country(US) didn't know anything about it for 2 or 3 years. A friend of the family had a good friend in California that brought NES in from Japan. I played on one of the NES's from the first shipment that came over in late '84. I remember the good old days when I could name every game and count them on my fingers. I also remember Nintendo's hint line was an 800 number that you could through on the first try. Thoses days are long gone.
A great conspirisy but likely not true. Corel has been laying off people and whatever else they could do to keep things going. Corel's Linux was really Michael Cowpland's baby and it is surprising they kept it this long after his departure.
I guess the call the bring.NET to Linux was a little off.
Read the article. Don't jump to conclusions. It's a 100Mhz FSB that's quad pumped (like AGP4x). They bumped the FSB to 105Mhz but the RDRAM couldn't handle it so they changed it to triple pumped to make it work.
Who said anything about Celeron? It could be a PII or a K6-2 or even a Cyrix(Ok I'm still laughing about this one) or maybe it was an example of speed. The example is about speed not brand.
Try running Win98 on your 1Ghz computer then run it on you 8088 and tell me that it runs at the same basic speed. Software is always going to use all the hardware you will let it.
I guess that means there is only a few people using for each architecture it is available on. Thats all it would take to make this troll's numbers.
I've never posted to Usenet so I guess my vote doesn't count. I suppose that's ok because I'd vote multiple times anyway. If you want to talk about OS you use then I vote for OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, 4 or 5 Linux's, Beos, QNX, Atheos, etc.

I have to agree that Infocom should have had some kind of mentition for being influencial. I've spent many hours on Zork, Hitchhiker's Guide, etc.
You sound like you could use a nice LCD setup instead of second monitor like LCDproc. If you really want the monitor, then by all means get it.
The G200MMS can support dual or quad digital flat panels. Is there some reason you can't use this setup (other than price $750 for quad)?

Unless they write their own programs for it and only release binaries. You put any license on a program you write from scratch since it is yours.

They are open so you can keep writing them or least someone who is capable can write them

How did you build it? Apparently your compiler was binary too.

Check the article. They are using components from both. So what is the difference now?

I'm all for making Linux do more and more things. Growing and expanding can't but help things overall. I don't go for all the people that whine and cry about something done that they like. Maybe it doesn't give them anything to brag about i.e "We have gimp, apache, etc. and win32 doesn't". The more quality free products on the various platforms, the less importantance MS© will have if the OS running underneath doesn't matter. The whole point of free software is the ability for anyone to make it do what they want not what you want. If you don't like it then don't use it but I will continue to use and test all kinds of OS, software, etc. and use what want for each job.
Like an Xbox??
