In my Mandrake 8.1 box it lives inside SysVinit-2.78-11mdk (rpm). It may be something similar for you, unless you don't run linux, in that case, no luck, 'cuz pidof seems to be dependent on a/proc kernel interface. Anyway, you can buid yer own pidof with ps+grep+sed/awk/tr in a shellscript like I did on an old Solaris box. Btw, that package also brings the nice "killall" command;-)
VmWare does not "emulate" a whole x86 machine, since it already run in a x86. So, what it does is to "virtualize" the hardware so it appears to the Windows OS as a fully-featured x86. Unfortunately, the PC architechture is not well-suited for this like the good old IBM mainframes, whose lowest-level OS does exactly what VmWare tries to do.
Some review may say that IE is the best, but is it worth to live with such a sucky and unsafe platform just to have the "better" web browser? god dammit, browers and pages are so damn bloated with little gadgets, shitty javascript, shitty applets and all sorts of annoyances that it makes me kinda disgusted when I need to visit commercial sites. I do use the good old netscape (sometimes the bloated new one), java off, javascript off, it makes my life less miserable than being forced to close 10.000 pop-up cappies. Unfortunately these days people are doing sites that cant be navigated without some sort of javascript/java/flash and stuff, and it really sucks. I may look like an old dinossaur, but I think the content matters much more than the form.
In fact, MontaVista offers their "journeyman" edition for download. It seems to include all the cross compilers needed for the 8xx (ix86 host). Unfortunately all PPCs around are running MacOS;-), and installing HH in them is a bit rough;-)
I think QuickTime4Linux (from heroine virtual, the dudes behind Xmovie) can play quicktime (at least some kind of quicktime, it seems have more than one...)
Weird... I have *really* cheap (almost 4 year old crappy k6-2) with 128 megs, and it runs Linux 2.4+GNOME/enlightenment(primary)+KDE(some apps)+netscape6(ugh!)+staroffice 5.2, all at the same, and pretty decently.
It surely runs 98/nt pretty well too. But forget about win2k. Too much bloat for the old k6. Tried once, no luck.
No, because he has no idea of what is considered "Third World", which is considered to be the less developed countries, like Africa, Mid-East, maybe Russia, and South America (where I live, btw...). Japan and Britain has noone to do with it. From his statement, I can understand that all except USA are third world countries, which is untrue.
About the telephony thing, yep, the most significant example of toll-free local calls is USA, everywhere else seems to charge on time. But it is not true for cell phone calls, AFAIK. I may be wrong, but I think Finland has this, not sure tough.
Japan and Britain are third world countries? God dammit, thats utter arrogance. This kind of attitude is what makes you americans so hated everywhere. Get a clue.
Unfortunately, it will take AGES for something similar show up here (Brazil). The ability to be online in motion rocks. Ive heard on a similar thing around here, but it was limited to one town, and the bandwidth sucked.
> X86 machines are sleek and smoothe like a Porche
What are you smoking, dude? x86 architechture is a 20+ year old crap that should have been buried 10 years ago in favor of RISC architechture. RISC is sleek and smooth, not x86. phew.
It was called XG, I think. I had a copy, they used to came as bonus with the good old yamaha OPL3 (or OLP3?) cards. Cool stuff, especially for a 1996- proggie.
If VBR does the job much better, especially when done with a decent encoder (like LAME)
lame -v -V3 -b112 -ms x.wav x.mp3
gives kick-ass sound quality, and averages around 150kbps for instrumental/soft and 175kbps for hardcore.
I get really disappointed when opennap'ing, 99% of what I find is CBR. Sometimes I download the stuff at 320kbps, decode and reencode it to save space.
C'mon, dudes, anything plays VBR these days (even my crappy kenwood in-dash car player). Am I missing some wonderful CBR advantage here?!?!
Dude, by legacy windows code he meant code that uses the Win32 API, not code "written and compiled on a windoze machine". Win32 API is not good stuff, and emulated like in WineLib, it is prolly worse (or not, considering the quality of M$ code...). And yeah, writing code on windoze leads to less good and less tainted code. For example, check examples on how to fork processes on both APIs (Win32 CreateProcess() and UNIX fork()), you'll see what I mean.
30 seconds? amazing! OTOH, my craputer @ home is a shitty k6-2 450 with 128 megs, and it boots linux + X + gnome in about the same time (including the console login and typing "gnome";-)
One funny thing about windoze "preloading" happened to me in the elder times when I used NT4. It simply became slow as hell to boot after I instaled some pirate CorelDraw for my sister to use. Corel itself is no big deal, so I started some research, and found out that the slow boot was due to NT preloading (or doing some crap with) all of that 89742387478364 fancy fonts that I installed with Corel. Had to remove them all, since the machine had to boot a lot.
I still wonder why the hell NT had to mess with the fonts at boot time. Anyone knows?
nope!
It stops being a convenience when it comes to *executing* code. Believe me, auto-executing code can be very, very inconvenient. Auto unpacking/uncompressing/decoding can be very convenient, tough, at least for the average luser.
Point taken. I worked with DELPHI since its early days delphi 1, 16 bit apps (not anymore, tough, until they port their C++ builder thingie to Linux Ill stick with perl), and I am still amazed how some people choose to use VB over delphi (or BCB). VB is a complete piece of shit, slow, ugly, and the code becomes a freakin mess for everything above "hello world". OTOH, Delphi enforces OOP, which is a good thing, form designer and code integrate sweetly, and I loved the experience (even tough, PASCAL disgusts me a bit, and I switched over to BCB as soon as it rolled out). Its amazing how far human stupidity goes, like choosing a fscking PROGRAMMING PLATFORM based on marketing shit instead of real merits... pfft.
nVidia, dude, not GeForce. Alas, does anybody else think that the name GeForce is lame? I liked the TNT (TwiN Texel) much better. At least it meant something.
just put
-ouid=[whatever user]
and the user will have the ownership of the mountpoint after it is mounted, or
-oumask=[mask]
to change the default mask (744, if I remember right)

Can't beat perl!

there is no need to wait - both bzip2, gzip and mpg123 support pipelining, so... ;-)

nope, thats wrong. the correct is:

oh damn, this is hella offtopic.

Linux kernels are not *EXPORTED* from the U.S. , AFAIK
the filesystem from VMS (the OS of the good old old VAXes) does exactly this.
just put
-ouid=[whatever user]
and the user will have the ownership of the mountpoint after it is mounted, or
-oumask=[mask]
to change the default mask (744, if I remember right)
so does it here in brazil, its the name of some dance never seen a lawsuit for that reason tough.
