Although this is definitely a positive development, is it not very courageous just ot go to neutral. Before I'll support Windows again, I'll wait first for a complete change on number of other family rights issues.

Some predicted, I remember, that if Russia had to withdraw from the Afghanistan on overhelming causalties (in Russian terms), US cannot succeed.
I checked Vietnak war statistics:
Someone said that Iraq is new Vietnam. If it were, we would need draft, three times as much troops, had 25 times as many causalties and the front would still be hundred miles from Baghdad. I checked teh Economic statistics:
This recession's peak unemployment was lowerst below the average of the past 30 years and the lowes in all recorded recessions. We are too young to remember the true recessions and the deficit is starting to improev rapidly.
The other guy promissed 10 millioon jobs, never mind that there is only 8 millions unemployed. He has no sensee of economics
I checked the numbers. In 4 years, considering that the workforce grew by 6.5 million, loosing 0.6% of unemployment rate results in 6.5-50*0.013 = 0.9-6.5 = 5.6million jobs gained.
Why don't we hear any of this on the TV?
If the election ended up differently, there would be hardly any space for improvement, but lot more potentioal for becoming worse.
Straight Facts:
German fascists (as in the German NSDAP Nazi party) were Social Democrats (Nazionalistiche Socialistiche Democratishe Arbaitpartai). They were left of the so called "Center Party" and were elected on promises of Jobs and taxes and Government Intervention at the time of 30% unemployment in the Great Depression.
They were called Right wing only by a yet lefter Communists. Goebbels arranged a fire in the Reichstag (their whitehouse) just at the same time as Hitler had a press dinner. Obviously, Hitler came first with the message of what happened, who did it and that he will be the tougher one to deal with this Communist terorism than the Central Party. He got iimmediately the votes of all unemployed, right wing and central leaning voters and from won the electins by a landslide.
If you think that this story is like our current situation, this must be a mistake because any similarity is purely accidental.
If Bush wins, we simply invade Iran, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Egypt, and all the way to France. China and North Korea have bombs, big army and favored trade status, he'll leave them alone.
If Kerry wins, he will keep his promisses. He promisses 10 million Jobs. But since we have only 8 million unemployed, he willhave to introducte forced labor. He will he will push through necessary democratic millitary draft bill S168 to get the unemployed off the streets. As promissed, he won't raise taxes, but will start mandatory health insurance and mandatory army contributions twice as big as taxes. This will force single income families to seek a second income, creating even more jobs. Demand for day care for infants will rise and create more jobs. Ultimately he will figure out that if we can take Iraq with one sixteenth of or present army, we can surely take Iran, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Egypt, and all the way to Germany, making not only all Americans in some way working for the Kerry's Government but also all foreign naitonals. China and North Korea have bombs, big army and favored trade status, so he'll leave them alone.

CDMA and WCDMA are more advanced technologies over GSM - the next generation. CDMA One is to used mainly in US and WCDMA elsewhere, especially Europe. I am not an expert on US CDMA, but European WCDMA is probably more flexible and more expensive, better solution. Only that WCDMA it has been hyped, delayed and overpoliticised a lot, as everyone wanted to standartize their patents and nobody had the money to replace the GSM infrastructure.
Police would have the right to shoot at a person who is getting aim at them with a weapon.
If some crazy policemen would shout at you "hands up", I would shout back "Why you crazy cop, you are the only armed bandit around". He would have no right to shoot me. And I do not have to obey him, until he proves with his documents that he is a cop.
One more comment: Don't ever use wood, drywall, fibreglass, azbestos, plastic or metal(except a rail "I" profiles to hold your roof. You can use some wood on the roof frame, as there it is replaceable.
Hard wood cab be also used for floors and perhaps ceilings, but only as a decoration atop of brick and stone.
Make ceilings as un a shape of U upside down. That is the only way to avoid reinforced concrete. Even the best concrete crack after 400 years and the reinforcement rusts. and becomes brittle.
Drywall and wood attract moisture, mold, moldew, rot and rust and burn like a charm. Don't use them, except sparingly on few dry places inside. Never as a part of the structure.
Finish inside with witewash-sand facade. This may last up to 70 years before you would have to replace the facade.
My grandfather's houses are over 200 years old, and still loook good.
To reach 400+ years:
Build foundation GRANITE stones joined with concrete. Make walls at least 45cm thick (1.5') with Brick throughout (not just outside the wood). Don't use the small, polished US brick. They would be perhaps durable enought but are not porous enough to be insulating well. Usec mortar with added cement.
To improve, build foundation of concrete and granite stones, and put a thick tar-paper about 1' above ground level to stop the moisture to elevate through the porous bricks.
Then cover the outside brick wall with facade that has also added pebbles, mica and cement powder besides sand and whitewash. When half-dry, scrape pebbles that stick out with a plank. This lasts 25-50 years before the facade has to be scraped and redone.
1000+ years: Make major gorce bearing walls of hand-fitted granite. Use tar and high pressure concrete to join.
And, really, there are few castles as young as 400+ years in Europe. At the turn of the 17th century they started to use brick instead of stones and those would be less durable, might more appropriately be called palaces rather than castles. The reason for change was partially that the Turks came with cannons, that made fortifications inefficient and obsolete.
Please, tell me, HOW do I get a kind of blackboard high contrast, low lumiance theme, writing white on mostly black or dark grey background. There were couple dozen themes in Gnome 1.2, but only one that appeared quite late - just few months ago in Gnome 2.0. I need blackkboard theme (fluorescent chalk) for my eyes. Too light iris dye, I guess.
But none of them can give black background to a editfield/listbox widget, only white. So it prints white in whie and I cannot see anything.
Have you ever tried to set ghome printing white over dark background? How much information become invisible, because the Gnome application decided to print white over white background?
I have usabiliy problems with Gnome since inception. It's at 2.2 version and yet nobody would be able to make a theme, which would have dark background in a listbox.
KDE on the other hand, has only problem with default checkbox background, and the checkbox design can be changed to one that always works.
Thwart the "Gnome" creeping Windows subversion!;-)
Thank you for posting it. I would not know about it otherwise. I would seriously give it a try to find out:
- Why is Lindows so "bad"
- Why is Debian soo "Good"
- To see, How hard is it to make a resonably secure computer out of it.
- To support a distribution, that has a ambitions and worthy goal of putting Linux on many desktops.
- To support a distribution, that is from the beginning bullied by all our favorite Linux distribution vedors.
And the VT82C686B = VIA133KLE chipset has great support from VIA. There is perhaps 100 PDF documents (about 6 pages each) on VIA technical support, that describe, how to make every advanced feature of the chipeset (Video, ATA133, 100baseT, lm_sensors, IrDA, Cyrix Power Savings modes, USB) to work with RedHat, Mandrake and Suse - last 3 versions of them. It works great! See:

I guess, if Windows don't support laptop hardware, then Windows is probably not ready yet for the laptop market and we'll have to give them a few years to mature before we switch.
OK. The question is, can these Xilinx tools xpr the RTL design into the xilinx format that can be downloaded to the FPGA on Linux machines, or do I have to run the RTL->xpr on Windows?
Of course I do not expect Open Source Synopsis any soon.
I guess that they are trying to sell chips that have processor _and_ FPGA within square inch.
I guess that the plug-in FPGA card would be connected in a different way, so whey you submit masks for mass productions the result would be likely buggy wnd won't work.
Oh-no! Perhaps you did not think that this is for individual use?
The questiom, can I design the (Altera) FPGA internals _on_ Linux?
It seems, that I can design on windows a system, that can run Linux and Linux kernel is included, BUT I have to have Windows/Solaris first to design compile the FPGA. Am I correct?
Slashdot Mirror
That is not exactly apples to apples comparison.
You want compatibe OS offers so that you can run your application in any one.
Can you plug your processor to any motnerboard?
Not since Intel patented their Pentium pinout lock AMD out of the Intel market.
AMD lost a year designing a different chipset and trying to persuade motherboard manufacturers to make AMD motherboards.
And this suit documetns did not even start addressing how Intel screws motherboards makers that do not obey and flirt with competition too much.

I did not mean to add more users in single user mode. I meant to edit /etc/inittab and /etc/init.d to boot next time into multiple user mode.
And I agree, installing apt-get probably won't be made very easy.

1. Can't you enable multipe users and adduser?
That should be no problem!
2. Can't you downlowad Debian packages?
If you do not know, how to exit single user, how to adduser or how to apt-get, they you pay, I gess with $$$ and with lesser security.
Like on the Walmart computer, what is good for Lindows is that them make sure that all hardware works perfecly with Linux.
That's what I was afraid of.

So, it is not only $5k, but also $5 Sun Workstation (or BSOD interface for $300) and third party tools - such as Synopsis for $xxx,xxx

It's $5k. THe $5 is for WindRiver Compiler and Debugger. Believe or not, this IS cheap.
Just http://www.xilinx.com/ise/vii_pro/kit.htm does not mentions Linux at all.But Monta Vista claim, that _do_ they work together.
The question is, if Xilix schematic editor, VHDL compiler and xpr runs on Linux or it is only Linux for C development?
