Interestingly, the i686 build works on my K6-III+ which is technically an i586. Can anyone elaborate on the difference between i586 and i686 in this sense?
It is one of the world's better kept secrets that Santa actually lives in
Finland, the country also known as Nokia/Linux. Which is why the penguin
reference.
There is no more evolution around. The problem being that the 'survival of
the fittest' in the modern changing world doesn't determine which people
do the most reproduction (it's quite the opposite). The image of geeks as
people who never score isn't very helpful either.
Swinging upside-down, swinging standing up, swinging both ways,
swinging
both ways at ONCE, swinging with another person, using two swings,
swinging
without hands, swinging without feet, and finally, swinging with a
brainless parent. What kind of parent actually files a patent, to teach
about the patent process? That's like taking your kid to the bedroom with
you and your wife (husband) to teach him/her about the birds and the bees!
I wouldn't be surprised if the father actually did the latter.. especially
if he's a swinger.
Your comment is weird and senf-contradictory in the light of your
homepage. FORTRAN has a fairly clean syntax because it uses newlines and
XX... END XX statements instead of semicolons and braces. Not much unlike
Python. Surely you jest.
PLEASE explain to me how 53-25=40. Something is HORRIBLY wrong with
this story!
0.53*148 students = 78 students
0.40*148 students = 59 students
(78 - 59) / 78 = 0.24
and you get the same ratio from (0.53 - 0.40) / 0.53. So this is actually
correct. Just like 50% of 50% is 25%, you have to remember that
percentages are always relative, even when taken of percentages
themselves.
In layman's terms, an emulator uses software to emulate the hardware
components of a system, so that the software thinks it's running on the
appropriate machine. This isn't very speedy, as dedicated hardware usually
outperforms software written to emulate dedicated hardware.
Thanks! It just seems to me that the terms are not always used correctly.
Using these definitions, AMD's x86-64 simulator is an
emulator, and dosemu is not (so it
should be called DINE:-).

What is the difference between a compatibility layer and an emulator? Can
you name an emulator that is fundamentally different from WINE in this
sense? Or is the name WINE just a silly hacker abbrev in the spirit of
GNU, LAME and others?
One of the key points the reviewer makes is that this distro does not
take
the 'everything but the kitchen sink' approach to software it includes. It
only includes apps and libraries that are known to work, and work in
combination.
One of the great things about Linux is that there is so much good software
available for Free on the net. No matter how much the distributors cram
into their packages, they will always miss some of the more obscure
applications I might like to use. Therefore, even as a 'power user' I find
this approach much more sensible.
You missed my point - Emacs is almost comparable to M$Office in its size
and features, and I believe vi[m] is lighter by orders of magnitude. I
once saw a friend using XEmacs and for some reason it made me think of
M$Word:-)
So pretty much every time you fall, you're going to end up at the top
of
the slope. They have two choices - let you continue through the cold
chamber and get snowblasted and groomed, or pick you, your skis, poles,
etc, off the slope in some safe way that copes with many people all ending
up at the same part of the top in rapid succession.
Neither option sounds to me like a fun way to learn skiing.
With some people pointing out the boredom of a repeating slope, option #1
has the advantage of dynamically creating moguls and other random surface
formations for the enjoyment of variety seeking alpinists.
I don't quite agree with your explanation of the tea leaves' behaviour.
This is how I remember it from my fluid mechanics course:
When the tea is spinning steadily, the leaves are honogeneously
distributed near the bottom. The centrifugal tendencies are cancelled by
the pressure gradient: the surface of tea becomes parabolical, so at the
bottom there is greater pressure towards the edges.
However, when you stop spinning the tea, viscosity starts to slow down the
rotation. The bottom layer will, for a while, rotate slower than the rest
of the tea. But the parabolical shape of the surface is still there, along
with the pressure gradient it causes. Therefore, at the bottom layer, the
inward forces are greater than the necessary centripetal force, so the
leaves are pushed to the center.
Do try it, it's essential to notice the difference between steady spinning
and slowing down.

No, you'll just mknod -p and use some |-fu.
Hmm. So you add one pint of water to this powder, and you get a pint of water in the end? Sound like 'vapor' to me...

HTTP is obsolete when it is replaced a variant of RFC1149 in which pigs fly.

Thanks! It's running alright now.

The sun is about five billion years old. ;-)
I'm not compiling until this patch is available for 2.4.18. It combines Ingo's O(1) scheduler with RML's preemptible kernel code patch.
It's like packaged inside an ogg-shell and you have to break it to know what's inside...

The particle store had a sale last week.
The sun is giving away neutrinos, free of charge. (sorry, couldn't resist)
The true 'geek' users among us

Perhaps /. should implement a toll on trolls.
