Redhat, Suse and the like have written custom linux patches for years useful for for different tasks, no need to fork just customize with patches...it works for everyone else.
Who is he anyway, I have never heard of him? Obviously he writes a patch set for the kernel to make it behave the way he wants it to. Just because he is whining about not getting his geek award via actual introduction of his code into the linux kernel tree does not mean we want to encourage him or anyone else to actually fork the linux kernel. Anyway I know it will sound trollish, but who really cares?
Interesting photo, Stallman looked to be stoned. So, I saved the large version of the picture and zoomed in, and his eyes appear to need a little visine so perhaps he is. Whoooa dude, listen to Torvalds and you'll loose your free-dom maaan.
Then again, perhaps like Ellen Feiss of apple fame, he might have just had "sniffles and a little too much benadryl"
I bet its not up now...since he posted this on slashdot he soon made his story true...jatol is down, the first thing a slashdotter is gonna do is go to www.jatol.com.
They probably drove to where the ship was docked, and felt it would be better to carry the overpriced phone with them than leave it in the 100 degree plus heat in a parked car...that would have been my thinking anyway.
Ah, my bad, thanks for clearing this up...so that explains Intels ability to suddenly have lower power chips...so it is they that are playing with the numbers this time, interesting:)
I suppose when your in a foreign country, you should remove your sim card from the iphone (normally I would say remove the battery but in this case...the sim card).
But AMD customers who relied on the company's previous power metric of TDP (thermal design power) were putting too many resources into cooling and electrical supply, said Bruce Shaw, director of server and workstation marketing for AMD. That's because TDP was developed so server manufacturers would know much power the chip consumes in worst-case maximum-power situations that very rarely occur, and design their systems accordingly, he said.
So now AMD will advise customers of an Opteron processor's average CPU (central processing unit) power, or ACP. "ACP is meant to be the best real-world end-user estimate of what they are likely to see from the power consumption on the processor," Shaw said. Oh Great, first they used the + speed numbers (which I think cyrix actually started but they jumped right in there). I can see that the core speed really meant nothing so I was OK with that, but TDP is a real number. Obviously their marketing folks decided it drew too much power so they opted to make up a lower power usage number. Frankly even a home user wants to know top power usage of the cpu and video card to properly size their power supply.
I am sure its area related...so you really should find out what works best where you are as YMMV...its flatland here and heavy dense tree coverage and rural. We have several towers in the area, which are in some cases supposed to be doing both cdma and gsm on the same towers and in perhaps some cases not. I was a cingular customer for years changing with the various name changes and buyouts in my area. I switched initially because my wife could not make voice calls that would not drop out between here and a town 10 miles away where she went often for the bank she works for...and a friend of hers phone worked fine there. At first I switched just her and my stepson and had two phone contracts cause I was thinking it would suck loosing my great data capabilities...and to my surprise it was much better for both phone and data so I joined them after a couple of months and said goodbye to cingular. I did some research later and found that the way digital cdma works lends itself more readily to dense tree coverage we have, but my initial motivation was my better half.
Edge is ok in the open fields and the city...but if you have trees GSM networks are a bust. You should then look to something like the upgraded cdma2000 (cdma rework) networks with especially those with EV-DO...faster than edge for data and works where gsm wont...trust me I know this from experience...I use the local alltel network for that very reason.
Not really, they have been picking their career paths early like that in germany,japan and probably other countries for years. While I know their are backward countries without much industrial knowhow (pun intended folks), it might be worth considering.
What I don't understand is why they couldn't use the old kernel with the new release...the linux release should not necessarily tie them to a particular kernel.
Or do as I do at times (and as Oddscurity was suggesting I think) and use the old network card driver with a newer kernel... this normally works fine by building it as a module unless something major changed in the way the kernel works with network card drivers.
Yea, well, its a very capable as a micro-controller available in both 8 and 16 bit models and is rock solid. That really shouldn't be what they are basing their case on...but of course in court they will probably win on that due to sheer ignorance.
Oh I certainly agree with that one, its best to not look into a laser of any sort...even if they say its safe, depending on how its focused even the really low power ones can harm you. My point was that something like that would not necessarily be as serious as it was being hyped up to be. While my eye damage shows up on field of vision tests and photos, I don't normally notice it unless I make myself aware of it...so I think my brain compensates for the loss pretty well.
Um, well, I got that from personal experience with similar rated continuous output lasers (though they were not solid state), back in my college days playing in the lab making holograms. I do however have a tiny dead spot on my right retina from a laser blast according to vision fields tests and retina photos, but I am certainly not blind.
That being said...if it were a bigger commercial laser, it would be a different issue entirely...in that case yes it might cause serious permanent damage unless you are rushed to a knowledgeable emergency facility in which case it might be minimized.

And yes I know some of his code has made it into the kernel, I actually did RTFA.

the word would be be outright...I actually read it all fine, though I did have to run through it twice
Well now at least we know hes up and up and can truly be trusted with my data :P
Web OS, now THAT is a great oxymoron.
Maybe vista is punishment for our wicked ways.

...so is 2.5 miles/gallon for a lightweight water spider thingy really that great?
Just seconds after the feeds started the galaxy imagery was somehow lost and replaced with the standard BSOD screen.
No...its like 70 years and a couple of months since she went missing...

You forgot to thank the academy, and your mom.

yes, but its a marketing feature, not something that is of any real importance
