I have a celeron 333 overclocked to 500mhz, playing full screen 30fps mpegs takes 10% of the cpu according to task manager. Playing a mp3 doesn't even register. Strangely enough the MS media player is the best program I've ever used. My old p200 played mpegs and even highly compressed ASF files with no problem. You must be doing something wrong.
I don't know what you're talking about, once you install netscape and check the "make netscape my default browser" box it stays that way. Yeah its nice to use netscape instead of the evil IE, but I don't want a program that segfaults at least once a day. You can say the same thing about people who think AOL=internet.
Look at the metal they make space shuttles out of, it has to last through HUGE temperature extremes and take all kinds of abuse. To quote Chris Rock "You think they can't make an El Dorado where the fucking bumper doesn't fall off?" Its designed to only last a certain length of time so you will need to buy another one sooner.
Yeah it sure helped mozilla. Wheres the browser again? I could care less about alpha and beta releases. Its been two years and no finished product, while IE continues to dominate with over 70% market share.
Had someone ported linux to the dreamcast people would be spouting off about its new million and one uses. Since NetBSD has been ported its like "oh well BSD is ported to another arch".
Bugtra^H^H^HSecurityfocus, did anyone catch the story about the buffer overflow in wordpad.exe? I mean come on, how lame do you have to be to sit there and run every.exe file with a 300 letter string?
well maybe not NFS for linux, but under BSD and commercial unix its fine. A sun box can saturate ethernet with NFS, its quite efficient. Personally I would choose a FreeBSD, you can select packages in more detail and make a cleaner smaller install. Upgrading can be easily done with the make world script.
Those HOWTO docs didn't exist back in 1991-92 when this was written. Back then a sparc2 with an 8 bit framebuffer was top of the line! In case you missed it there were several references to the 'man' command.
Its big and horribly slow? How much farther can you get with remote displays? Concentrate more on local display. I want to be able to play 30fps megs at full screen with 8% cpu usage like in windows.
Its handy for remote desktops and xterms and such but the majority of people are concerned with its speed when used locally. Here my plan:
The network code is pretty much optimized, its been around for how long now? Concentrate on video card drivers and have it access hardware directly. Have the network part be installed as a module for the people who need it.
You know if we cut the speed limit in half the number of accidents decreases! Well don't stop there, thousand of people are hurt each year by pointy objects such as knives and pencils. I won't stop until every pointy stick has been licensed or confiscated! Its such a stupid argument to blame violence on an inanimate object. The gun flew across the room into your hand and the trigger pulled itself. YOU make the decesion to use a gun.
Someone driving a large SUV jumped the curb and plowed into a playground full of kids. Should we ban SUV's because someone misused it? Or how about punishing the person committing the crime.
This reminds me of the jackyls fighting over an elephant carcass. You don't care that thousands of people will lose their jobs and another commercial UNIX company goes under. All you care about is stealing features that other people worked on. How about doing your own R&D and development work instead of relying on someone else?
Like how zealots like the freedom of which OS to choose, as long as its linux. Since I have a choice why do you get all upset if I use windows? Or how about BeOS or FreeBSD? Its the same information wants to be free argument. Its ok as long as the information isn't about you.
Everyone is out to make a buck, don't deny it. People don't mind making some extra money. Why does slashdot publish articles by john katz and take things out of context? To generate banner hits. Check out the slogan on andover.net and then check my.sig line.
Ever hear of those cell phones that use satellites instead of relay towers to communicate? People use them all over europe because you don't need towers built everywhere and the sound quality is much better. You will NEVER see them in the US because the government can't easily tap into your conversation.

What the hell is with these posts? Is there html imbedded or what?
How much were blank cds when they first came out? Once people start buying dvd writers the prices of blanks will fall drastically.

Maybe because some of their technology is copyrighted by another company and they don't have permission to release it?

I thought Standard Oil appealed the case and won?

Redhat!=Linux
What about people who use slackware, or even BSD? Will this program be GPL'd? If not will you bitch and moan and refuse a gift?

"No statistics"
I stopped reading your post right after that.

I heard if you smoke a banana peel it gives you an awesome buzz! Also some kid told me to dip a cigarette in some White-out and then light up.
Its funny how your left out the seperating comma. Heres the real line:
A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed
Don't bring up the drivers license argument either, driving is a privilege NOT a right.
Whats really sad is how the PA state lottery is actualy losing money! Right after they announced an audit the head guy resigned.

To generate high spec numbers such as this, you blast MS for running the GUI in kernel space and heres linux serving http from the kernel.
