Did you try changing the base priority of KaZaA to low ? In XP/2000 you can do this from the taskmanager by right-clicking on the process and selecting process priority.
My menu code runs on several major websites. I would love to add support to Konqueror. What kind of DOM does it have ? Gecko compatible ? Links would be appreciated.
car dealer: "OK folks, here we have the brand new car. It's top speed is 300 km/h, it has 12 airbags, it automatically avoids traffic jams, it needs only 2 liter per 100 km. No competitor has something similiar. Isn't that something?"
customer: "does it come with a tow-bar?"
car dealer: "not from the manufacturer. But it's all standard, you can buy one somewhere else or build it yourself."
customer: "well, if it doesn't come with a tow-bar it doesn't make things simpler. I'm probably going to stay with my tractor."

It would be kind of interesting to point out that Microsoft Visual C++.NET includes a new feature that helps mitigate some kinds of exploitable buffer overruns. There is a new/GS option in Visual C++.NET. This new option inserts special code into the application or DLL startup code, as well as special code into certain functions' prolog and epilog code. The option is enabled by default for all new C++ projects. However, the option catches only stack-based buffer overruns that overwrite the function return address. It does not detect heap-based buffer overruns, nor does it detect buffer overruns that do not overwrite the return address.
That said, there is simply no substitute for good, secure programming practices, but sometimes this isn't enough.
Every piece of code that targets the.NET CLR has to go through a verifier. Before a program is run the verifier looks at the IL to determine whether it is safe to execute in the current context.
Code which is marked as unsafe can only be used a fully trusted envoirnment. Currently, if a part of program is marked as unsafe the the entire program (called assembly) is marked as unsafe. So the entire assembly will not execute if it uses unsafe code.
There is a second level of safety defined by the CLR which requires the programmer to 'demand' permissions to do certain opertaions. When your code demands permissions by using the Demand method, the common language runtime verifies that all code calling your code has the appropriate permissions. Without these permissions, the request fails. Verification of permissions is determined by performing a stack-walk.
Demanding permissions is necessary if you are accessing protected resources or perform security-sensitive operations.

According to SPEC CPU2000 Results, The Itanium at 800 Mhz performances equivalent to a Pentium III 800 Mhz. In fact the Pentium III is a little faster.
Do you have any other figures to substantiate your claim ?

You probably already know this.
The credit for architecting Delphi and C# goes to the same person - Anders Hejlsberg.
I used in program in Delphi and I simply love it. Too bad I can't use it in my workplace.
While C# and the.NET framework have a lot of similarities, it still doesn't match the flexibility I had in Delphi.
For example, I had terrible luck using layouting in winforms but it always worked like a charm in Delphi.
But the guy is a pretty experienced programmer.
C# is not very different for C++ or Java. If you know one of these languages then you would be up and running in C# is just a couple of weeks time.

If so, look at the terrarium code (slated for public release in mid Feb. 2002). Terrarium is basically a multiplayer peer to peer game which showcases.NETs network technolgies. Exactly what you need.
Each of the Windows version serves a different purpose and hence use different schemes for memory addressing, schedulers. The internal communication systems is optimized for the number of CPUs on the system.
If you follow the Linux kernel development efforts, you'd see a nice scaling on 2-CPU or 4-CPU machine. But run Linux on a 6-CPU or 8-CPU machine you will see the performance degrade.
Well, Part of the problem is the PC architecture.
But my point is ONE single copy of any OS won't do.
I have nothing against Windows or Linux. I am not a fan of either. I just don't care.
You must either be kidding or you don't know what you are talking about. No chess program can compute out an entire game is a minute.
The fastest chess program Deep Blue, a 32-processor parallel computer with 256 VLSI chess engines, was capable of 200,000,000 positions per second
which meant that it was able to conduct an exhaustive 12 ply (or 12 half moves) search for every move.
