Huh. Like I said, as far as I know. In fact my system is running UML-2.4.19 on a 2.2.12 system - and apparently (according to the UML site) that kernel version requires a patch for UML to function. Works good so far though:-)
I recently found a beautiful use for user mode linux - changing distributions with a minimum of downtime.
I have a RedHat box that's colocated that I wanted to move over to Debian - so I installed UML and loaded Debian onto one partition, got everything set up correctly and told LILO to boot off the new slice. After a few minutes of praying Debian came up running all the correct services.
Everyone references the SWT and points to Eclipse - but as far as I can see on the site it's not a distinct download/project. Does a programmer have to use the IDE to code with SWT?
The largest employer of University of Waterloo students is Microsoft. Somehow I doubt that they'll be complaining about the said lack of knowledge in Linux or Java:-)
As much as it is a cheap rip-off, MS seems to be paying more attention (or lip-service) to the standards bodies than Sun did.
Does this sentence have any real-world relevance whatsoever? Who cares if they pay more attention to standards bodies - they've done it before, and it's never prevented Microsoft pulling the old embrace 'n' extend.
If I write Java code right now targeting the 1.3 platform for instance, I'm damn well sure that I'll still have some form of VM in five years to run it. Now, find a Visual Basic programmer who isn't being fucked by the pushing of the new VB.Net down their throats.
This is pretty much an advertisement, which in turn points to what's pretty much a press release. Nice post guys! Go ahead, mod my ass down. You know this story eats it.
No, I think I do understand the problem. Embedding the application name or path into the file doesn't help, because I want my text files opened with Kate, and my MP3s opened with FreeAmp. Having the application that I have personally associated with the data files attached is just lame, especially when there's a ton of different operating systems out there - most of which include very inferior tools with them. For instance, a lot of people use Windows Media Player for MPG files; I don't. When I send these people a file associated with mplayer, their default handler kicks in - showing again how redudant the metadata for this is.
What if a Mac user has all images they've created associated with Photoshop and I also have this app installed? I don't want to chew up a couple of hundred megs of RAM to view, uh, flow charts:-)
And by the way, the RPM extension is a valid one for Realplayer.
Isn't that totally redundant though? On pretty much every system you'd have to rely on the default handler, except for very specific files that can only be opened by one application (like a QuickTime movie).
Yeah, storing which application opens a data file. I'd love to get a bunch of MP3s from Gnutella and have a non-existent WinAMP try to open them. Or a me sending a Word doc written by Abiword to an Office user - that'd screw 'em up! Mime types? Not in my filesystem - I want RPMs on my RedHat system to open with GnoRPM, not Realplayer.
And XWindows doesn't give you a UI at all - KDE, GNOME - even the GTK toolkit provide a UI.
The leaders entire cigarette industry proudly declaring that nicotine is not addictive, and that they do NOT actively advertise towards kids - after being sworn in at a court of law.
At first I thought the dart poison was a marker, since they were blind - so they'd just wildly shoot this stinky crap all over, and chase the smell. But then Guy Pierce rubbed it off himself, and the Morlocks were still able to chase him, blowing that idea out of the water.
Absolutely. Gnucleus lets you download any file type and supports multi-source downloading, allowing you to grab chunks of a large file from several different servers. It's also got an auto-evolve function, but anyways I'm rambling. Definately check it out.
Actually that was a university experiment (MIT maybe?) on actual random number generation. The images from the lava lamp were used as the random number seed, since apparently the lamp is the easiest way to observe "true" randomness.
Silicon Graphics took this farther and made a sellable package of this called lavarand. Check out this article for more.
You might want to check out the GNU Savannah project. It's based on the Sourceforge codebase, but it has a nice distributed architecture, so that the main site for your project is mirrored in a read-only format on other servers. It seems like a good solution to me.
He's talking about on a process-level, as in freeze a lengthy game of Asteroids and restore it later. Hibernation is system-wide, not on a process-by-process basis. And Linux has that too;-) Note: this comment is reused!

K I'll slap ya around. It's not a DOS box, it's a Win32 console application. It just looks the same, and provides a convient window for debugging information to be sent.

No - like I said, UML was a transition to get Debian replacing RedHat.

Native speed - it basically passes all syscalls directly to the parent kernel (as far as I can tell). Very cool shit.

Thanks to the UML team!

Which of your projects do you think, after all this time, is more useful? Perl, or patch/diff?
Is it just me or is that the biggest troll ever on the O'Reilly site?

The Netcraft results show 223 sites ending in Microsoft.com. Yikes.

The right link for the article (including images) is here.

I've been playing Starcraft for over two years under Wine. You should try it out.
