But the code only needs to be translated once, and can then be cache-saved to ram or hdd IN the native format, and can even be re-optimised as needed, it can actually get faster and faster every time its run! Anywhooo... Intel chips translate x86 also, into its own risc-like internal code, and it has to do it every time its executed, and since transistors are hardwired, it cant 'learn' as well.
hmm, best Theme, all choices are E themes;) hell, I'll abstain, I'm using SuSE 6.2 and am still trying to figure out how they got those icons in enlightenment, cool! Havent seen the other themes yet. Did I mention how cool Enlightenment is? or how cool Enlightenment is? Enlightenment is cool. pass it on.
If you were an OEM distributer, why were you calling Western Digital? You tried to send in recalled drives as an end user, not an OEM. Also, you had to verify recall status with a utility on their web page.
I agree, The Free Software Foundation also has had influence on other projects, including Xfree86. The FSF is largely responsible for the state of Free Software(tm) today.
I agree, and I think that the reason some say he can come off as radical, is because he was one of the first OSS advocates, from a time when it wasnt as hip as it is now.
I agree completely, Thats why I voted Emacs, hell, if we judge the interface by how intuitive it is at the newbie edge of the curve, then Progman.exe or Explorer.exe (tm)(tm) would win.
For what Emacs is, and the ways it can and is used, its just the best. The learning curve is steeper, but its designed to be efficient, not intuitive, especially after using it for 15 years since I had "MEmacs" on the Amiga, its very efficient. (offtopic:) Anyone know of a win32 port?
Recalls are not RMA's, and the manufacturer HAS assumed responsibility for shipping by issuing the recall, anyway the recall has nothing to do with the warranty details, as the recall superceeds it anyway. Western Digital paid shipping for all recalled drives. Warranty failures get RMA'd and dont get shipping paid.
Um, I hate to burst your bubble, but wasnt Quakeworld released because the network code was poorly written? Is this the man that should take on a server OS networking code? He didnt have the foresight to realise that people were going to play quake on modems, and that not everyone had ethernet internet connections. Seems he likes pointing fingers and saying "do it MY way, I'm God" - Remember he insisted that Quake 3 would ONLY be ported to Mac IF they used OpenGL as their main API, *AND* they must release Rhapsody and implement that as their OS! Like thats up to a game developers whim. (so basically, Mac ported to Quake 3, not the other way around) Oh, and he shunned 3dfx with the decision to not support glide in linux or windows, and to implement OpenGL in a way as to break Voodoo drivers that have been "fixed" to be "Quake 3 compatible" -- and in linux, it seems you cant run both {Quake1&2} and Quake 3 with the same X server, because of glide and OpenGl. And then on to 3DNOW! support for Quake 2, he totally blew this one off and the only way you can get 3DNOW! support is through an unofficial, unsupported patch downloaded from AMD. I dont want to sound like a troll, but this man codes his product, and pretty much ignores the environment his code will habitate, and blames that environments problems on the other developers who's code or hardware will share that environment, and puts it on *their* shoulders to ensure that their stuff is compliant to his code! Even if its something like the OPERATING SYSTEM!
This is NOT the man that should touch the stack, or he might tell us that (loose analogy here) You need to use a different OS, You cant use that protocol with my stack, I'm dropping support, and I dont CARE if its an industry standard, AMD supported, nope, call AMD and stop bugging me. Modems, hell this stack only works on LAN! who has modems? not me, John Carmack! Will it be portable to the Mac PPC linux? hmmm... I'll only do it if they make a "Quake 3 RED" iMac.

Is the theme to 'Gilligans isle' running through anyone ELSES head right now?
The Amiga port of Emacs baby yea!

Enlightenment is damn Godly! I $#!+canned KDE when I saw Gnome running on Enlightenment. Sweet!

Now Tim Sweeney, thats ANOTHER story
