Err...are you aware you're making yourself look really clueless? Here's a hint, you can spew any old crap from an Apache server, including broken HTML.
I think you're looking for HTTP, but it appears you're not sure what the difference it.
X supports both the "X" method and the "Doze" method, at the same time. I can select text in Kate (A KDE application), CTRL-C it and then CTRL-V it into Mozilla (Which is sort-of Gtk).
Damn near all movie players for X use Xv for video playback, which is pretty much exactly what you're after.
"Then there is the expose events. These are real performance killers under XFree86, but I am confident that freedesktop.org's server has solved the problem by keeping window contents at server side. I don't know if this is related, but moving and resizing windows has been a real pain for me." Windows has expose events too, you know. Resizing Windows often looks back because of the lack of synchronisation between the window and the process inside the window. There's been discussion on the freedesktop.org XServer list about this and they do aim to fix this problem.
As for drivers, all of NVIDIA's cards are supported on Linux and FreeBSD (x86 only though). ATI also have binary drivers, but they're a bit hit-and-miss, from what I've heard.
Well, it's the application's fault for either using a toolkit that only supports the selection buffer, or simply not supporting the selection buffer itself. I can't think of many non-GNOME/KDE applications that don't support the copy buffer that people use much anyway.
Well, if your terminal emulator is too brain-dead to support X's other clipboard, what do you expect? Try this in gnome-terminal: Select a URL Shift-Ctrl-C Select and clear the location bar in Mozilla Ctrl-V
Viola. Of course, there's also the "Open Link" item when you right-click a URL in gnome-terminal. Konsole has similar facilities IIRC.
I prefer click-to-focus, since it means you won't accidentally focus on another window whilst typing. What I really dislike is the whole "click brings to front" mentality. Sometimes, I want to perform an operation on a background window without it covering everything else in front of it.
"If I select text in Mozilla and press Ctl+C, it goes to a different buffer than just selecting it." That's the intended behaviour of X. Indeed, KDE got flak by not doing things that way back in the 2.x days.
It's not really a scam, since it's normally pretty accurate. Thus, people have a quick-and-dirty way of getting a rough comparison. AMD do have to deal with dumb consumers, who seem to think that a higher MHz means it's faster than any other processor of less MHz.
I'm quite surprised Apple stuck with GHz, since the G5 does really well against P4s with a 50-60% higher clock speed.
Raven Shield's CD-key system is broken. If two people want to play over a NATed connection (With different copies of the game and hence different CD-keys), if one person has been on a server for a few minutes, the other person cannot play online at all. It claims "CD-key in use" but that's not the case at all.
"Some forms of this might also be considered 'bait and switch', which possibly could be illegal is certain kinds of situations." Err...no. You see, they're still free to comply with the GPL OR they may negotiate a different license/contract.
No I haven't. Are people who break the copy protection on Neverwinter Nights cheap? After all, I wouldn't want to run software that can break your hardware.
"It gives who extra rights over standard copyright law?" Everyone who uses it. "If it weren't for copyright law, people could just ignore it." And I would be free to break copy protection and not get thrown in jail for it.
I've already mentioned this several times before, but when Linux was first put on the iPod, they had an early version of Tremor (An integer-only Vorbis decoder) running at 80% realtime. Seeing as there have been numerous processor and memory optimisations in that time, not to mention ports to other embedded platforms which don't have as powerful processors as the iPod, I'd say the iPod could play back Vorbis.
Slashdot Mirror
Care to provide *any* evidence that Groklaw's findings are questionable? I didn't think so.
Here's a hint; the MacOS URL parsing API is not implemented in the kernel.
Hasn't the x86-64 instruction set been available for years? I doubt Intel had Prescott's design completed that long ago.
Pure Genious :)
What is it with lawyers? It's just evolution. Survival of the fittest, death to the dumbest, it's all the same thing.
Are you sure you left or were kicked out due to your lack of grasp of the English language?

Actually, that's GNOME implementing both of X's clipboard. KDE supports the same clipboard, in case you hadn't noticed.

Select a URL
Shift-Ctrl-C
Select and clear the location bar in Mozilla
Ctrl-V

What's wrong with Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V?

Well, seeing as you can cut and paste between Kate and rxvt...
I've never had copy-and-paste fail where it shouldn't, but it does translate to ASCII, which is a shortcoming.

Windows NT for the Alpha ran in 32-bit mode.

If you take that interpretation, then there aren't many software companies around that aren't practicing bait and switch.

The GPL grants you extra rights over standard copyright law. DRM attempts to restrict your rights beyond existing copyright law.
