So whose fault is it that the nvidia headers for binary drivers have to be recompiled every kernel release due to incompatabilities for no good reason?
Fine then, according to YOUR comments C is an interpreted language. C compiles to assembly, which is then INTERPRETED into machine code. Also, your point of "It's to illustrate that Java and JVMs were a step back technologically, just like.NET" shows quite a bit of ignorance. In an enterprise environment, which is more expensive: Developer time, or more/faster servers?
I know you're being funny, but Java isn't interpeted any more than C is. Both are compiled to produce machine code (one meant to be run on a virtual machine, one by a native one, but nothing's preventing someone from making a hardware JVM).
Why do you consider the move to livemail poorly thought out? Why does the average student need pop/imap access to their student email? LiveMail works great in firefox on linux.
What you're asking for is what the citrix-loaded WYSE terminals do automatically. You choose which model terminal (and which OS, they have both linux and windows based ones) and then set the level of local access (allow local apps, allow local USB drives, allow local streaming media, etc).
You then set up your citrix farm and away it goes. You can either have a full session, so that the user thinks they're using windows on a workstation, or you can have each app running 1 by 1 as the user launches them from the terminal.
Last I checked the terminals were about $200 each if you go with the linux ones since you skip having a windows license for the local box.
But sony doesn't have a competing online service, so you have to factor that in somehow. (They allow online gaming, but they don't have anything close to what xbox live is)
The number one reason for using VMWare Workstation is development and testing. I'd say the number two is demoing.
This is due to many things, but the most useful of which is its snapshot ability. You can make a clean image and then test against it each time, or even "branch" the same base image for different service packs/etc.
Your comment: This "article" is practically content free. It compares Firefox's memory usage to Lynx. What the fuck?
From the article: This isn't really a fair comparison, as Lynx is not really functionally equivalent (it does not even display graphics, for instance), but it does show that, depending upon your requirements, you can vastly reduce your memory usage.
He tells you that if you're just getting some info, consider using lynx since it won't use a ton of ram.
That's the init bootup system loading things from your/etc/init.d directory (or whereever appropriate for your given distribution), nothing at all to do with the kernel:)
Because it makes a nice average number. Including trucks/etc, you could say that 10l/100km is "Average" consumption. If you get under that, you're doing well. If you're getting under 8, you're doing VERY well, likely with a small car. Motorbikes get around 3l/100km. Big trucks (cement trucks/etc) get about 15-20l/100km.
It gives you a nice unit that, due to the division, scales quite well. So you don't have to compare an old F150 getting 12mpg to a motorbike getting 73mpg, you have the nice numbers of say "3" and "15". (I didn't convert those, they're likely wrong).
The A/C shutoff is not attached to the throttle. It's attached to the vaccum line the throttle is connected to (which is also what controls how much fuel goes into the system).
It's a small, and somewhat pedantic, difference, but is important if you know how cars work. For example, if it was at ~75% pushed down, you could have it pushed down 70% and then the A/C could turn off and on (despite not changing pedal position) depending on air temp/engine load/etc.
However, if you don't know nor care, then it's fine to say that if you press down the pedal the A/C turns off, because that's what happens in most cases, just with a step missing in the middle.
So since MS copied apple here, how, in OSX, do I write an administrative policy which is auto-applied to every OSX client on my network which hooks up that search box in the top right to also include search results from our enterpise search server, searching our fileshares/intranet/SAP/custom app DBs?
It's quite easy to do that with GPO, Vista, AD, and MOSS, so obviously MS copied the bit that REALLY matters from Apple.
Why do you care what database it uses? Consider it an appliance. When *I* am developing I prefer postgres to mysql any day of the week, but your enjoyment as an end user would not change a single bit if they went to the trouble of porting it.
It worked using the default kernel included in ubuntu and took me 2 hours total, including installing the OS.
Steps: 1. install ubuntu 2. apt-get install dvb-utils 3. use scan (with the canberra, ACT, Australia pre-tune) to create a channels.conf 4. use tzap to verify signal strength for each channel 5. apt-get install mysql 6. apt-get install mythtv-backend mythtv 7. set a password for user mythtv and log in as him with fast-user switching 8. go to tvguide.org.au, register, set up channels to download, set up tv_guide_au script (will vary depending on your country) 9. as mythtv, run mythtv-setup 10. Tell it to import my channels.conf (it can scan, but "scan" does a better job in my experience) 11. run mythfilldatabase 12. enjoy!
Step 12 was really 3 steps: A. Run mythtv, see framedrops B. Install nvidia drivers (apt-get install nvidia-binary or something like that) and reboot C. Enjoy!
The VESA drivers are not fast enough to watch fullscreen video at 1024x768.
I JUST installed mythtv on tuesday night on an nforce AM2 socket motherboard (nforce6?) with onboard video.
With the default vesa drivers (and even the NV drivers) I couldn't watch DVB-T (so mpeg2, 576i signal) without framedrops on a 1024x768 LCD.
WITH the nvidia drivers I could watch 720p HD on the onboard video (color me suprised!!) without a single framedrop (excepting when the transparencies faded in and out).

But the message is no longer "from" you, it's "from" the server. That's why we have "x-originally-from" and "reply-to".

You do realize that there's no point in having an HDTV if you're going to feed it an svideo input?
You are not outputting at 800x600, you're outputting at 720x480 interlaced (if you're in NTSC country)
No open source license I know of requires this. He is only required to give you the source if he gives you a binary. Has he given you a binary?
Please justify your comments, if you can.

Real dogfights are not like top gun, nor like WW2. They are over long before you can see the other person.

1. Not every organization gives every employee a PDA or laptop, so taking notes/emails to meetings requires printing them out.
2. Unless you use software like OneNote (and have a laptop) it can be much more convenient to print out an email and "doodle" notes onto it.
Microsoft is HUGE in corporate search, don't forget. Much larger than google.

Were you there when you were born?
If not, why do you believe you are not 50000 years old, but just don't remember the first 49950 or so?
Cedega creates a virtual windows environment, and the games you run have full administrative rights to that environment.
Run a small windows program that deletes your entire registry as that "limited user" in cedega.
Will it:
A. Refuse to allow it to
or
B. Hose your cedega environment
?
You're both right, but you're "more" wrong.
