As far as platform support, freebsd has never been one to have much outside of x86 and alpha.. This is all new in 5.x.. If you want broad platform support, I'd use NetBSD.
As for your response to networking locking.. It has nothing to do with NFS and everything to do with Giant (the giant mutex that exists in the kernel). FreeBSD 5.x is largely an attempt to break away from this giant lock.
As for multithreading, both linux and freebsd have had it for ages. And it hasn't been that great in either one of them up until KSEs in FreeBSD 5.x and the revamped threading in Linux 2.6. FreeBSD had very good userland threading performance for processes needing to use threads on a single processor, but no native SMP threading support outside of using Linux's threading library (clone()).
As for PAE, correct me if I"m wrong, but it has NOT been several years. PAE, officially AFAIK, is still relatively new to Linux as well.
I've converted qmail maildir into cyrus maildir.. The only problem is that you lose your flags like read/unread, etc. Now if I only remembered what I used to do it:). Just remember that it's possible.
i90c. I'm very happy with it. It has all the features of the i95 (or vice versa I should say), but it has no color screen and it's a tad smaller. The only feature that it doesn't have that the i95 has actually is native SMS. But Nextel has it locked out on the i95s, so it's irrelevant. SMS with Nextel uses the WAP browser (so that it work on all of their phones).
Seriously. At least they're using the existing legal system to do this and not trying to create all kinds of retarded legislation this time. They might still be trying to do that, but there's no need to. Our existing legislation is fine and supports what they're doing. Therefore, I have no problem with them trying to defend their property.
I haven't updated 5.x in a month or so, however, this may not be how the same as what you're thinking.
Take MacOS X's top output for example:
PID COMMAND %CPU TIME #TH #PRTS #MREGS RPRVT RSHRD RSIZE VSIZE 14055 mozilla-bi 0.8% 7:18.05 12 185 803 43.3M 30.3M 56.2M 278M
As you can see it's just a field in top that shows the # of threads under that process. I'd imagine that would be how it is done in FreeBSD as well. I could be wrong though, can anyone confirm?
are you referring to object files? I'm pretty sure object files have already run through the assembler but are outputted in a platform independent FILE format (e.g. not ELF or Mach-O).
Nope. If it's not threaded properly, it will not take advantage of multiple processors. The application will run on one processor. Otherwise you will have contention in which 2 processors are doing the same thing and not aware of what the other is doing which runs out of control. That's why generally there is a controller thread which delegates jobs to each worker thread. So on a dual processor system there would probably be 2 threads doing the real work and others for various GUI functions. The point though is that no, just having an OS X app doesn't mean it takes advantage of multiple processors. Just that the OS will in the fact that you can run 2 intensive applications comfortably.
Do you understand what he's saying? He's saying that they already had some images done up and perhaps he just copied the wrong one.. I'm sure they have the site ready in staging for Monday
If they didn't distribute the compiler they used to compile that code, then they're safe from having to distribute those modifications. You can use modified GPL code with no obligations. It's only when you distribute it that there's a problem.
The interesting thing will be to see what the future games that will inevitably be based off of this (or HL2's) engine will look like. Think about what has come from the Q3 engine and imagine what will come from the DOOM 3 engine.. I have hope.
I wouldn't want to impose such restrictions on our whole userbase (some of which are paying) for a few abusive users. Also, a majority of the time, these servers are either owned by the user or are networks that no one has ever heard of. They're usually not large networks like DALNet or EFNet.
I run a large dynamic dns provider and have had many many abuse reports lately of people using worms like this. Generally, they will register a host with ODS that is round-robin and points to multiple IRC servers which they point their drones at. The effect with these trojans are huge and I'm surprised they're not covered more. Ones like this one have been around for a while, and are generally used (after infection) for DDoS attacks. Many of these botnets (that I have seen anyway) exceed 10,000 infected clients (in one IRC channel). They place an enormous burden on the IRC Networks (that have to accept all of these clients, a lot of the time, all at once when the command is issued to change servers) and also are fairly visible from our DNS servers (some causing about 10 queries/sec alone to the DNS servers).
The point is that I've seen these botnets around for months and months now. Almost a year at this point with almost no coverage. I believe the days of smurf attacks are numbered, this is the new way to conduct DoS attacks. They're very effective as well, having seen the attacks targeting servers of mine.

he should have had backups.. you can take exports of it as well in both Zope export format and XML.
I only have two myself. I do wonder who has the most. I know someone who has quite a few though:
/usr/ports -name "Makefile" -exec egrep "MAINTAINER=[[:space:]]*knu@" {} \; | wc -l
> find

Can you explain this? How?

Never mind, I just looked at the email. Would be nice if they did it like Darwin does though..

Linkin Park has also put out many many popular singles, I wouldn't say that they fit the mold you're describing.
Hell yes, but go to an apple store and try them yourself. They'll let you do whatever you want pretty much.. It's not like Best Buy :)

yea.. that's what I thought it would be.. was looking forward to it.
The phones they make for nextel have treated me very well (i90c and the old i1000plus previously). But I'm a huge fan of the clamshell (flip) phones.
every 12 minutes? I think most mailservers implement exponential backoff.

That's why sleep is there. And it works.. Really well..
Terminal Services.. That's the one killer feature that they have in my mind. It just works so well.. All that said, I still use a mac.
