I don't think this is correct. UML is a complete kernel that runs like a user-space application. It even has command line switches like "./linux --help". It's been a while since I played with it, but IIRC there's no reason why someone couldn't run UML-2.4.19 on a 2.4.10 host.
The RIAA is responsible for the exponentially bandwidth hungry topology of P2P clients? We can no more "blame" the RIAA or Gnutella's creators for this than we can "praise" ancient greek mathematicians for making the inner angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. It's in their nature. Shawn Fanning wrote a paper addressing this very topic. You've made such a leap we might as well "blame" online music trading for spawning the RIAA.
Peter T. Breuer wrote a patch that puts your.config options in/proc/config. The tarball is (was?) called proconfig-foo. Check ftp://oboe.it.uc3m.es/pub/Programs/
"make xconfig" depends on Tcl/Tk, but if you don't want or can't get Tcl/Tk on your system you can still "make menuconfig" on the console or an xterm. You can even "make config" if you don't have ncurses. Keeping the required development environment to a minimum is a laudible goal.
I think there's even more to abusing the word "literally" than giving it the opposite meaning. People who talk like that also mean some form of "very", or worse, a kind of, "Take me seriously this time because I reeaaalllly mean it!"
Oddly, even though misuse of "literally" irritates the living f### out of me, I think it should have the meaning people end up giving it when they (mis)use it to add emphasis. For example:
"That was so funny I literally shit myself."
"How disgusting. You will go home and change your underwear. Right?"
"No I won't you cyborg. There isn't any poop in my pants. It was just an expression. I meant that in a literary way!"
Do a google search for Jef Raskin and Hermaphroditic Connectors. Your notion is out there somewhere. I've never seen a photo of one but have read that it is possible. The hitch is that given N lines you need 2N-1 wires to make the connector orientation agnostic. To me this seems like a prime candidate for an enhancement of any serial connection like USB or Firewire.
Are you refering to the "skin effect"? I don't understand why DC current would be immune to this. If a cross section of wire holds a net positive charge the individual charges will flow near the circumference of the wire whether they are about to be replaced with negative charges or not.
If they could go so far as to contract their own fabs or recussitate the Alpha EV8 how might Transmeta work into these equations? That company's design philosophy harmonizes with Apple's better than Intel's or AMD's. "Code Morphing" could be very friendly to Virtual PC and legacy Mac applications too. Would an alliance between these two give Transmeta anything that might make it competetive on the high end of the performance spectrum?
I can confirm that the GeForce4 Ti will drive Apple's Cinema HD. I'm currently using one of these with a Gainward 4200 via Apple's ADC->DVI converter. I have heard that GeForce3's have an integrated TMDS chip that can't cut it while the GeForce4 Ti uses a chip from Silicon Image. I don't think this monitor uses dual link DVI. IIRC the single link DVI spec officially maxes out at 1280x1024 digitally, but the large LCD's by Apple and Samsung can go beyond this because there is no need for the blanking intervals when driving an LCD digitally. So the bandwidth is there. You just need to cut out the fat. Here is a great discussion of the whole topic.
I would hazzard a guess that W2K is doing something at boot that is standing in your way since it was pretty straightforward to get this up and running under X and the VESA framebuffer (sure ain't matroxfb though). The monitor will even respond to standard VGA modes as I have access to the bios, etc... If you're losing the screen after the bios hands off to W2K then your card should work with some configuration. The alternate case frankly stumps me unless you have a 3rd party ADC-DVI adapter, though even that possibility is confusing as ADC really is just DVI + USB + power. The pins for each protocol are right there.
There is one hitch to using any Apple monitor (excepting the 22" Cinema Display?) on a non-apple box. You lose control of the backlight so this gorgeous monitor can't be adjusted for brightness and seems to default to 100% on (which is too bright to make true black). I think this is done over VESA's DDC lines and have looked through the PPC Linux kernel sources for a way to do this on i386 but the meat of the matter may be buried in an Apple rom either on the motherboard or the video card. The only tweaking utility I could find on FreshMeat was something called read-edid that can find the monitor's identity but then barfs. Does anyone out there have any code that we could play around with on this subject?

Answer it.
And yet with all that BART goes to Livermore!

The last time I checked the SVG library couldn't render to a 24/32 bit desktop, though the licencing issue is there as well.
but what it means to me is different from what it means to you.

Adding more terms to your original search is the same thing as "search these results" for any engine.
Sigh... That's not true. I just installed Debian and it suggested quad copper IBM G5's, a GeForce5, and a Fibre array.
It runs on dual Athlons.

Just speculating...
Has the meter been redefined to make the speed of light 300,000,000 m/s? The difference is only 692 microns (in terms of the "old" meter).
Have you noticed that your URL has an embedded space in it? Slashdot does that to posts. Go here. You just might learn something.
