  1. Which compiler is the Navy going to use? on US Navy buys Apple as Linux Platform · · Score: 2, Insightful

    gcc?

  2. Why no CDMA or TDMA in addition to GSM? on The t68i Replacement is Here · · Score: 1

    For those of us who need good coverage (in the US) where GSM is still under penetrated, these phones need CDMA or TDMA also. Why are they excluded? Cost? Market pressure to make GSM successful on its own?

  3. Re:No major reason? on Ars Technica Reviews Mozilla · · Score: 1

    One can easily block pop-ups and ads in IE without much trouble and without hokey proxy servers/filters. Take a look at AdShield, an excellent and free (as in beer) pop-up and ad blocker for IE.

  4. Re:not really news... on VA Linux to Sell Proprietary Version of Sourceforge · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's Goldman Sachs, not Morgan Stanley.

  5. Political cooperation on Preventing Vendors From Playing The Blame Game? · · Score: 1

    If these three vendors already participate in a joint venture, perhaps a b2b or other e-commerce initiaitve, then they have a political to interoperate lest their JV be seen as a failure. If they aren't in a JV, find three vendors who are and have best-of-breed or close to it as possible.

  6. Ergo for multiple heads/multiple computers? on Ergonomic Office Equipment? · · Score: 2

    Problem with all the ergo furniture (aside from chairs) I've seen is that they are oriented towards people who have one computer with only one monitor. For people like me who have two computers with 2 monitors each there is no ergo furniture that I've seen. Anyone got any practical pointers? (Pointer can't be get rid of any equipment. You don't know productivity until you've worked full time with multiple heads and computers.)

  7. Re:Those Who Do Not Understand Unix on Dangers of Typecasting OSes · · Score: 1

    > If you have programs that try to do
    500 different things poorly (think IDEs or
    > mail readers that know about SMTP and POP) you're using programs which are not UNIXey.

    hmm. emacs does way more than 500 things. i would say that it's UNIXey...

  8. Re:Alpha's not the only one on Microsoft Invests in Inprise (aka Borland) · · Score: 1

    R10000 and R12000 are 64-bit, too. the R12000 outperforms the fastest available UltraSparc by a wide margin. the R14000 will be available next year.

  9. Re:Yeah, right on Microsoft Invests in Inprise (aka Borland) · · Score: 1

    we got our 12Ks in may. guess you either have to work for the government (they were number one on the list to get shipment of the new cpus) or have a persuasive sales person...
