Where do you people who have probably never contributed *anything* to *anyone*, *ever*
get off...
Oh fuck it, I really can't be bothered.
Suffice to say, great work NetBSD camp, you seem to be doing pretty well despite the drivel some
people post in response to any *BSD stories here on Slashdot.
The -j flags will certainly speed up a uniprocessor build if parts of the compilation
are IO, rather than CPU, bound.
I think the article is misleading. Wouldn't it be nice to see the *NIX community approach
its benchmarking with a similar level of objectivity to that it demands from others
(*cough* mindcraft *cough*).
Well, FreeBSD (and others) have login.conf for specifying resource limits.
Admittedly, these only operate per-user, not per-process. A lot of people choose to run important processes under a specific user anyway (news, bind).

Bully for you. Unfortunately, as a FreeBSD user with a GeForce 256... I'm screwed.
It seems to me that *more* users would have been made happy if, rather than (or in addition to) releasing closed source Linux drivers, they had made information available to expedite the development of drivers using the DRI framework.
As it stands at the moment, I stand very unlikely to ever see a card I forked out good money for achieve its full potential under the operating system I prefer to use.
You see, its all about choice, and currently I don't have any.
1) Sale of all subdomains of these TLDs should be halted
2) Subdomains of.us should be created for each...
3) Existing.com/etc domains created under.com.us/etc. I guess we have to let them keep their exiting domains though 8-(
3) Leave it upto the naming authorities in each geographics TLD as to which subdomains they wish to create/for what price etc.
This is how it *should* have been from the start... nice and clean... like any good filesystem/home directory 8-)
Si
ps. No... I'm not joking... fair play to the yanks for coming up with this Internet malarkey, but these domains are a pants idea.
Which partner in the whole BSD/OS FreeBSD thing is the "fattest"?
It seems to me that BSDI has got a pretty good deal buying out Walnut Creek. I can't think of a single benefit (as a FreeBSD user) of the Walnut Creek merger with BSDI... maybe it'll make it easier to sell to my boss with some sort of commercial support package, but that's it.
IMHO, BSD/OS has long been surpassed by FreeBSD in terms of architecture, hardware support and price.
It was only a few months ago I picked up a copy of "Professional Manager" magazine or some such drivel discarded on the train. The feature article of which was about the European Human Rights Act and how it was -
a) going to stop public bodies intercepting personal emails
b) going to outlaw public bodies drug-testing employees
And other stuff which basically boils down to caring more about people and their privacy than the dictatorial whims of some corporate or another.
The article did say that these clauses only apply to "public bodies" (implying government-run I guess) but said the term was sufficiently broad for your average "Professional Manager" to be concerned.
How does this fit in with the RIP act? I notice that the Human Rights Act specifies that the laws within are only enforced "unless they are prevented from doing so by statute".
Which, all in all, seems a bit pointless. Anyway, looks like those Managers didn't have too much to worry about... its we "Unprofessional Citizens" who should be worrying;-)

Who's accepted this?
Personally, its the first I've heard of it and I have absolutely no doubt that it won't happen.
Do you yanks think we're stupid or something?

How is this a "Troll"?
Unless your reading this and they've sorted it out. In which case,
I guess this is "Redundant".

Put all the dreamcast silicon onto a PCI/AGP card.
Bundle some translation software/hardware to allow the card to function as a standard VGA card.
Implement or sponsor the open source implentation of tools to allow the dreamcast output to be displayed
to, for example an X display.
I'd buy a graphics card which allowed me to play dreamcast games for 150 or so quid (the current
cost of a dreamcast).
Si
ps. And if you make any money out of it... send me some 8-)
And I won't be purchasing an nVIDIA card again for one reason
1. They won't release the documentation which would enable/assist the development
of open source drivers.
... come on, even incomplete documentation would be a start.

Here's my solution...

.com/etc domains created under .com.us/etc. I guess we have to let them keep their exiting domains though 8-(

How come the guy with the pro-gun stance is moderated above the dude with all the answers and a solid anti-gun law argument.
