1) err. I see IRQ_LESS_OR_EQUAL All the time on my dualie. Don't get that under vmware, mind you.
2) So use rxvt as local terminal fer christssakes.
3) Err. Anything that uses pure CPU power will run about 100% under vmware. I even ran 3d max under vmware. Sure it wasn't very fast, but it ran and worked just ok for a small course's needs.
Actually Communist Party in USSR didn't represent itself as 'ideal society'. They were always talking about 'our bright future in communist society' and how 'we're building it as we talk'. So in their minds it was a Work In Progress.
Which, in my opinion, was one of the things why it failed. With everyone thinking "oh, it's just WIP, they won't really mind if I take this thing here" there was really no morale whatsoever.
Hmm. Well, IMHO Linux' beauty is in that whatever hardware I have, I can run linux on it. I don't have to go out and buy whatever machine is required. Linux has and will run on whatever I already have.
Can you run OSX on x86? Alpha? Or perhaps on some kind of SPARC?
Oh yes, talking about innovation. Which way did Apple go with OSX? Oh yes, it was BSD, a.k.a Unix way. There may be some candy thrown on top of it, but that system is full-blown 30 years old design. Design made by some real engineers and worthy copying and enhancing.
On the article page there was a notion that he did lose some games, but they were in a simultaneous play situation (eg. one master against several younglings at a time). His single-play account is still unbeat.
AI's don't lose in that kind of situations unless there's severe CPU resource starvation. Anyhow, if it's some AI, then it almost has to be some undergraduate/researcher with some new algorithm, so they probably have quite enough CPU power at hand.
I'd guess it's because they see nothing else interesting, so they choose the 'least evil', at least 'paying' option. FWIW, many people just don't have anything that is interesting for them. Poor bastards.
Not to mention that in OSS every interested party in the entire world can see where you have been lazy and/or stupid...
If that is not a strong motivation for churning out quality code I don't know what is!
Yup. When I ported amd76x_pm driver from 2.4 to 2.6 and posted it onto lkml, I got some remarks on overall code quality. All I did was just a quick hack into changed infrastructure so that it would 'just work'. And then I was getting questions like 'what is this', 'why are there large integer constants' etc. I sure learned not to post inadequate code onto lkml then:)
a full build of our main product takes over 12 hours on an 8 CPU machine
Err.. ever heard of rule that 5% of code does 99% percent of work?
If your application does 'diverse' kind of things (you mention DB's), then most probably when optimizing one module, you're hurting others. The obvious solution is to optimize module by module. Starting from the most abysmally slow, your build environment.

Nice. That piece of link has been there for quite a long time and you're first who've told me about that. Thanks!
Next step version applies same 'fix' to rebooting computer as what f-secure recommends. (creating some debug log file in some directory)
I'd make that 'echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness'. I really don't think that having ./0 would help you in a day-to-day life.

You can see that tax software is huge thing for a bunch of people to have on their desktop.
Yeah, sure, if you're living in a ass-backwards country where you really have to calculate your taxes yourself.
There are countries where this is done where they have all the needed information.. taxation office.
The loud beeping is for the blind you insinsitive clod.
I'd rather said 'photosensitive clod'.
Yup. Not talking about that the only reported Windows holes are remote. Nobody is counting local ones as there's just too many of them.
Cared to 'grep CIA' on that one?
Yeah, and what kind of non-bloated non-gtk/qt applications do you run in your non-bloated window manager?
psavo, a wmaker user himself
And how many votes would 'a real, honest-to-god, black Afro-American male' get him :)

Yup, and instead of one engine you need to look after 4. win-win situ.. or not.

Try make oldconfig with .config from older build..

Yeah, except that you can get 64bit windows for Itanic right now, but not such luck for Opteron.
Never tried, but I do have the 'keep on top' crosses unchecked, so they mostly stay under other windows.
FWIW, WindowMaker also supports 48x48, 32x32, 16x16 and 8x8 dock sizes. dockapps wont necessarily work with that, but windowmaker will.
800x600 on 17" is totally insane.

Yup. Mapping Internet in a day so it could be done weekly / daily. Quite a shitload of traffic though.
This is /. You should know that it's Linus, not Linux!
I wonder... do people say "X is going away" because they think it is, or becasue they hope it is?
I'd wager my bet on that in general people don't have a slightest clue..
