I cheated and used 2 XP 1600+ on the Tiger MP. I absolutely love it. A beauty: 1) Windowmaker.7x with three virtual windows. 2) I had Netscape6 running in one, 3) Netscape4.7x running in another, 4) and 4 xterms (3 compiling different kde packages, one running top), 5) have 256meg of ram 6) and was using 40megs of swap 7) and had a system load of 3.5, 8) and both cpus plugged at 0.0% idle 9) AND LET ME TELL YA: switching from desktop to desktop an running other apps and doing what ever, WAS SMOOTH AS SILK. You would not even know that I had 3 compiles going in the background.
Al Gore - Now see, you done misquoted me again. What I said was I help introduce the bill to provide funding for the development of mini-watts.
G. Bush - Now I guess Gore invented the horses my daddy gave too.. (chuckle)....
I bought a TNT2 thinking they would be going in a direction that I could support and approve of. That being the DRI and GLX... I could have easily bought a Matrox G400 and am now wishing that I had. What happens when the TNT line is no longer supported and they stop updating thier drivers for it. API's can change and XFree may GROW in a direction that isn't compatible with Nvidia's drivers anymore. I want my money back!
I interviewed with and ebook company once. They seem to support the same ideology as the RIAA/MPAA of content access control. The CEO told me rather proudly of a new law coming to effect that would help them achieve this end. I know now that he was talking about the DCMA. The book would be encrypted and could only be read with a licensed reader, on a licensed machine, and unprintable. I know that I for one DO NOT wanna have to sit at my computer all day to read something. Maybe I wanna lay in my bed and read where it is more comfortable, and better for my eyes. Oh but wait I cant print it out! Maybe I wanna move it over to my laptop and read it on a plane/bus/train trip. Ah ah not unless I pay for it again! (read DIVX). And if my machine dies and I wanna put it on a new one.... well you would have to pay for it again. I think I still prefer the good old normal print edition. That way if I wanna borrow my buddys Dragonlance or he wants to borrow my LOTR we can do it.
