n particular: load is a measure of how many processes are using or waiting for a resource (such as disk I/O, CPU or network I/O). On a busy mail server that's completely adequate for the job, I'd expect to often see a high load average due to the number of processes that are waiting on the network. That is, due to the number of processes waiting for slow network connections to places halfway around the world.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the load the average number of processes in the run queue? This would mean that processes that are blocked on the network or disk would be in the sleep (wait) queue, and not counted in the load average.
In this case, a load of 20 means 20 processes are ready to run, which is not so good.
Good programming practice is to automate as much as possible. Many of these rules could be applied by a program. modifiy your checkin routine to automatically obfuscate your code every time you check it in.
"3. You may make modifications to the Software and distribute your modifications, in a form that is separate from the Software, such as patches."
A form that is separate from the Software? So yes, a CVS server is allowed, but this prevents you from making tarballs for people who don't want to use CVS. My original argument stands unmodified. Source tarballs are the standard distribution method for free software. I can see no reason for trolltech to disallow that other than to prevent independant development forks.
www.troll.no/qpl Granted right #3 says that all your modifications (which to port to win32 would be a LOT of changes) must be distributed as patches. A similar restriction on minix hamstrung its development and was one reason for linux. Why the Open Source definition allows these games to be played is beyond me. Requiring changes to be distributed as patches is, for me, only one step above running the source through cpp before release.
wrong. I probably overestimated the price, if you don't need it RIGHT NOW you can probably get it for free from someone who is throwing out an "obsolete" machine (personal definition: less than a 486DX-33). If not, go to a used computer equipment store. Any reasonably sized civilized area will have at least one.
well yes, but there is no sane reason in the world to have 4 megs. No one out there owns a computer, but is too poor to shell out 12 bucks for 4 more megs of ram.

KDE 2.0 in Action

Huh? QT is a widget library, as is GTK+. They both work on win32. GTK+ is free for use on win32, or anywhere else.
Gnome is a "desktop environment" as is KDE. Neither of these (currently) work on windows. Of course, Gnome could be ported and still be free software. KDE could not.
Interesting, I used to use a 386sx/20 laptop with 8 megs of ram as an X terminal. I stripped out everything that wasn't absolutely required for a terminal, and ran twm locally. It was no speed demon, but it was quite usable. It took nothing like 5 minute to start, more like 1. Perhaps you should try again, this time without a default install of an everything + the kitchen sink distribution.
its not like rpm is some closed proprietary standard. If you use gmc, double click on the rpm and you can easily drag and drop the files out. Or you can use alien. or rpm2tgz. I don't understand why people begrudge redhat for being successful. Or is it less "cool" to use an OS if too many other people use it?
Hopefully this means that 3dfx has given up on locking developers into their proprietary APIs. They very successfully leveraged their initial dominance of the market to get many game shops to write glide only, or primarily glide based games. Of course, no one would write a game using glide only anymore, mainly thanks to Nvidia. Here's to OpenGL as the standard for 3D graphics!
TNT drivers have been open sourced for a long time now. Of course, they are non DRI; they pump all geometry and textures through a unix socket and draw in the context of the X server, so they're rather slow. Of course, with SGI and nvidia getting buddy-buddy, and SGI's apparent betting the farm on Linux, I suspect we'll see even more OpenGL support for nvidia hardware.
now that 3dfx has finally opened up their 3d hardware, ATI is probably feeling pretty lonely.
Now we wait anxiously for XFree86 4.0 and for pure 3d goodness.
It sure cuts down on the number of dorks faking keys though. Security through obscurity should never be relied on, but it works as a last line of defense. (ie, very slightly better than nothing).
It's O(1)! All encryption that relys on "Prime Factoring" is now worthless! j01n my 31337 cyph3rpunk gr00p!!
OK. enough sarcasm.
I didn't really mean to single you out on this one, since I see this error all the time. The great Bill Gates supposedly made the same mistake in one of his "visionary" books.
Production quality? its not even working at all yet. Right now, there is no way to read an XFS filesystem in Linux. I suspect it will be at least 6 months before that changes. Most users might be better suited by ext3 or ReiserFS anyway.
you really should have given them the piss test, then quit, and told them exactly why. They look at this, assume you would have failed, and think how effective their program is.
AlsaPlayer is a varispeed mp3 player. It can even play mp3's backwards at variable speed. A quick hack on that would make an excellent DJ mp3 player. It can also play CDs forwards and backwards at anyspeed. Its an excellent package.
www.hoontech.com The NX is probably the best card yet for linux. There is an excellent Alsa driver for it (if you haven't tried alsa, do so, its much much better than OSS/Free. www.alsa-project.org).
PICO??? good god. Use teco like us real men. EMACS AND VI SUCK, TECO FOREVER!!! (For those newbies who just "discovered" unix thanks to linux, teco is what inspired edlin. before such blasphemous tools like vi or emacs.)
Found another site, with 1 minute timeslices. Upon opening, it twiched for a while, then kicked up 8 points, then back down. It did that a few times. Then, throughout the day, it would drop about 5-10 points, and within a minute jump right back up to its last value. I'd like to hear from someone who knows more about this stuff than I, but to me, it looks like a program was issuing buys on a minute by minute basis to keep the stock steady.
I tried to look at the volume throughout the day, but yahoo lost its feed right as the rally started, and didn't regain till the end of the day, so they just linearly interpolated. Interesting.
The volume on monday for MSFT was pretty impressive. That says one of two things to me, for all the spooked people dumping MSFT stock, there were people who think this is a good buying oppurtunity. Or, MSFT was repurchasing its own stock, to prevent a signifigant dip, which would spook investors even more, which would cause a larger dip, etc. With the percentage of employees whose time is compensated primiarly with stock, they can't afford to let their price tank.

holy shit. Quit now, and take a bulk eraser to the code and all backups. They'll thank you later.
And for god's sake, take an AK-47 to the contractor that did that to you.

Solaris/x86 has been available for years now. SCO (gag) too. Solaris' "future" move to intel is for their 64bit Solaris port to ia64.
