Max 50% CPU use for a single process? That doesn't sound like a very difficult kernel patch to make either...
But you don't have to convince me of the pro's of a dual system. It rocks. The only thing I don't like about the AthlonMP is that the MBs are still too expensive. A long time ago, I built one of those dodgy overclocked Dual Celerons for at home. Two C300A chips at 2x450 in a cheap dual slot0 board with slotket converters to socket370. I used it 24/7 and it's still a sufficiently fast and stable system (esp if you look at what it cost), and only now I'm upgrading it to an AthlonXP.
"One thing I hate is a lot of OSS projects require certain libraries that are un available."
Tip: If you put it in a debian, package, then apt-get will get all the libraries it needs if they are not installed on that particular system. apt-get source is also really sweet to make small patches to existing programs.

Actually, most Linux developers are secretly happy that Linux hasn't taken over from Microsoft yet.
Free software is not like a lot of software:
1. Idea
2. ???
3. Profit!!!
Free software is like art. It needs time, it is perfect when it is ready. However, nobody knows when exactly that is. The big difference with art is that Free software is never sold, hence improvements never end, and it is a joint work of multiple artist, new artists come and go and each leaves an improvement. Forever, never to get lost unless something more beatiful takes its place.
Some parts of it are ready for use by 'others' now, or close, and other parts (office/desktop) have just started.
For many Free software projects, the initial main goal is to make something the creators want or like themselves, not caring much about whether others use or like it. Let's call it the 'proof of concept stage'. When it shows good promise, then come in the purists (sometimes the same people, sometimes not), cleaning up the code, introducing structure, integrating with other projects. Long time passes because the new structure requires rethinking and redoing a lot of work. Last: Out comes the artwork, it's beatiful in design, smooth in operation (The Tao is present). Then outsiders discover it, use it, and take it for granted. It will never go away: Real art is timeless.
Had M$ bombed and were it up to Linux to keep everybody happy, then a lot of companies out there would have started cranking out tremendous amounts of low quality bloated software, just to meet 'market demand'. Now, such a thing as 'market demand' is foreign to most Free software developers, and they can do what they see fit to work towards the perfect result.
Have you ever heard of CVS? What cave does your company work from? Please shine the light in there and bring them at least to this nice old tool from back in the eighties/nineties.
I just had a voltage regulator slid off the PCB on a slot A mainboard after less than 16 months of service. No kidding, the system had a non-overclocked Athlon 700, plenty of extra coolers and definitely no heat problem. The elco's look like they've been leaking, giving of the explanation of why it happened.

A sort algorithm is a basic algorithm that any programmer should know, but DSP basics are trivial data that you look up in a book? Definitely not so.
Everything requires a specialist for the best results. Using a non-specialist results in a suboptimum. However, CS majors ar not the specialists for all programming tasks.
Ok here's the coop: You have to be a research scientist to do such research, and often scientists need to do programming to perform their research.
A CS major with perfect sorting algorithms and the best on-line and off-line indexed library in the world does not make a fire research scientist...

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near ''.
You make a point, but please, let the sort algorithms be. There is a lot more to algorithms than efficient sorting and searching. Show me for example a BSCS who really understands the effect of fixed point rounding in DSP algorithms and knows how to deal with it. Or maybe one who can use programming as a tool to research the behaviour of a fire inside a building.

Then why does the USPTO tell us:
l /n ature.htm
The patent only grants the right to
exclude others from making, using, offering for sale or selling or importing the invention.
http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/doc/genera
patent laws will also prohibit you from using your object.
A telephone call is 7 cents a minute long distance. A penny per page would mean that only seven clicks per minute is the same price.
Other comparison: Can you read a whole newspaper worth of news websites in just 25 clicks?
Penny per page, yeah right. Then with 5 words per page, the websites will be richt. Sure, people won't mind paying through their noses.
Penny per page, is that what banner ads pay now? Penny per banner-view? Definitely not.
Forget it nebby, it will never make it.
I don't think this is directly about the DMCA.
From what I understand from the PDF, the law under which the DVDCSS sought protection is the UTSA, not the DMCA.
btw, I assume you mean the "Digital Milennium Copyright Act", which is DMCA, not DCMA.
IANAL, but AFAIK, that is what the UTSA is all about (UTSA = californian law 'Trade Secret Act'). Read the .pdf, it refers to it.
Thanks, that makes it a lot clearer.
And actually, I think now that your last statement about the primitive mm patch for the 2.4 kernel, does sound like a good idea.
I guess you speak another language than I do.
In my book, swapping is one of the paging processes in the VM function of an OS. With that definition, your post doesn't make sense.
Care to elaborate?
I read both, especially interested how they would finance 8 OC192's, as mentioned in the headline:
"40-gigabyte-per-second national optical backbone"
Then I saw 40 gbit in the story, hence was disappointed that there is no quality check on the headline...
Now where did you think to deduct I did not read the story, dear Watson?
Yeah, it's really nice to see that now even the submitters on /. don't read the stories anymore.

Still looking for the kernel patch for a
patch -p1 slid-of-voltage-regulator-2.4.9.diff
"Is that really viable at this point?"
That answer is simple: Even if it has only a very small chance of saving anybody, they should still try.

Wow thanks chris! I am from the Netherlands, but they never taught me that in history class...
huh? offtopic? quote from the story:
"... back to their dorm rooms, studies, and keggers, having been through the modern equivalent of the Holland's tulip mania."
So how is this tulip mania offtopic now? When was the tulip mania anyway, and who was involved, where did it happen?
