To summarize: yes, it's
possible to resize ext3 partitions, so long as your
resizer doesn't mind. Don't use Partition Magic to
do it. It doesn't like it. Badly.
Those diagrams in the paper really get the point across. I mean, take a look at them; especially Figures 8, 10 and 14. Now if they don't clear things up I don't know what will. How succint!
The following steps should get vmmon working on 2.4.6+. They worked for me.
1. Go to/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source and untar vmmon.tar
2. In vmmon-only/common/hostif.h comment out the
"undef PAGE_SIZE", "undef PAGE_MASK", "undef PAGE_OFFSET", and "undef APIC_ID_MASK" lines (lines 35-38)
3. In vmmon-only/linux/driver.c change line 928 from "current->dumpable = 1;" to "current->mm->dumpable = 1;"
4. Re-tar it all back up again, and run vmmon-config.pl
I had a patch but Slashcode thought it was too lame.
This programming contest is being conducted by ICFP, which implies a context of functional programming. However, rather than debate the definition of a "functional programming
language," we will allow submitted programs to be written in any language whatsoever, as long as it has an implementation for Pentium PCs running Linux. Mixing languages is entirely
acceptable; perhaps you will write in Caml and Haskell, with a Tcl script to do the gluing.
ie, it doesn't have to be a functional programming
language.
There are over 188 versions of Linux distributions presently available, according to a February 1, 2001 TechWeb article entitled "188 Linux Distributions...and Counting."
Now all we need is someone to implement rfc1217, "Memo from the Consortium for Slow Commotion Research (CSCR)" which describes an ultra low-speed, ultra robust networking protocol.
Anyone got a few thousand M1A1 tanks lying around?
Unfortunately these "real uses" do not equate to anything the average desktop user needs in a standard office, which is usually where these 3D environments are targetted.
Windowing environments are successful because they are metaphors for things that were already in use. We had forms/papers on our desk; these became the windows on our screen. However most 3D environments are not metaphors for anything we've got already. Why make a 3D computer model of an office, complete with desk, organiser, phone, filing cabinet, and so on, if the physical desk, organiser, phone, and filing cabinet work just as well?
In general, the windowing environment has succeeded these physical office devices because using them has been reduced to showing the correct form onscreen. Instead of finding a document in a filing cabinet it is now like asking someone else to get it for you. Asking your secretary "Please bring me Form B out of the filing cabinet" is reduced to "cat form-b".
I think it is. I like K5 alot, but it's been out of action for so long now I've stopped checking their page to see if anything's up. If Slashdot didn't keep me informed, I probably wouldn't find out that it was back for quite a while. So yes, to me this is newsworthy.

err, $11500 US, of course :-)
Currently, $20000 AU is approximately $11500 AU

And according to Honda's website, ASIMO stands for the punning Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility. I like the Asimov connection better though.
Empty <a> blocks aren't terribly useful...
Can't remember where I originally heard this from...

Yeah, well, duh...
RedHat add their own patches to the kernel, so if you want the standard Linus patches to work you'll have to download a fresh kernel first.

You can do this easily in other languages too, such as alarm() in C (and Perl too!)
ie, it doesn't have to be a functional programming language.
(Score:-1, Flamebait)
When you shutdown, you might want to make it set the hardware clock from the system clock:
On RedHat, at least, that's in the shutdown script (/etc/init.d/shutdown).

while sleep 1; do date +%s; done
