A short flash in the eye is not gonna blind you. You will likely close your eyes or look away way before any real permanent damage is done. Most of those warnings on lasers are a little on the overkill side...mostly for the really really stupid people that would force themselves to stare into painful laser light for amusement.
Yes its there...I use noatime on many linux servers. Most definetly use it where news and maildir type mail folders are mounted.
For instance on the mail server do this in the fstab (not necessary on root and the like...just use it on the heavy traffic mounts):/dev/sda2/var/spool ext3 noatime 1 2/dev/sdb1/home ext3 noatime,usrquota 1 2
Perhaps your correction is incorrect, maybe they meant "Teaches you that OpenGL is good (and Direct3d is bad)", but he only had three words to do it in.
My main concern is that it could trigger seizures in some people due to the bright pulsing light and either give the assailant a chance to do whatever he wanted while they turned their attention to the victim, or if they ignored the seizure victim they would most surely have caused their death. Not to mention the fact that it *could* cause eye damage in the hands of poorly trained staff.
Well yea, but they are counting the windows ce (or embedded or whatever they call it this week) devices too. Probably counting the probability of some old windows 95/98/me/NT/XP, etc. Marketing at it best, a billion users can't be wrong must be going through all the companies officers heads right now. Thing is many of those machines may have never ran windows at all, once they left the store they got new life as linux/bsd boxes and the like.
I would use them, as would most any other linux desktop user. Heck I have used the closed source nvidia drivers and it didn't make me ill or nothing (but lsmod did say my kernel was tainted as I recall...oooo I said, tha 'taint good at all...but at least I got good resolution on the desktop).
If your using bios calls to access it, then yes it will be compatible if you set the bios to PATA emulation on the SATA ports. If your using your own access routines, probably you will have to support sata directly.
Bootcamp is NOT like vmware...bootcamp is just a boot manager that lets the intel mac reboot into windows...it probably has some bios emulation stuff, but its no vmware. Vmware runs different virtual systems simultaenously....not just one at a time.
Once you've completed Boot Camp, simply hold down the option key (that's the "alt" key for you longtime Windows users) at startup to choose between Mac OS X and Windows. After starting up, your Mac runs Windows natively just like a PC. Simply restart to come back to Mac.
No biggie, someone can just fork the code while its gpl (or even fork old code that was still gpl) and make their own new project. The only requirement would be that it remain GPL.
Or worse yet you get one with an intermittent chip. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't . . . but it always seems to work at the store when you are explaining that its broken. More unnecessary hardware to fail, first the TPM chip, now this.
Or someone figures out a way to flip the chip in software (virus anyone) perhaps by causing a unique RF pattern that tells the chip to disable itself, causing your dvd's to go bad randomly.
Its really a surveillance chip designed to report your copy attempts...they are watching us you know. Now where is my tinfoil hat...suddenly I don't even feel safe in my Faraday cage anymore.
It dont really crash the system it runs out of resources which makes it practically usable. I am surprised that ulimits are not set up on OSX, but I figure they are probably there since its based on mach/bsd kernel and tools.
Well let me rephrase that, people know how to avoid it...I cant be sure every distro has ulimit set up per user, but most should be. If not the tools are there at your disposal to avoid such problems.
I for one don't want my servers in a data center that is easy to move and hence easy to steal. Think about it, they just steal the datacenter, then they can take their time getting say cc and other personal data of your customers off the systems at their leisure.
I think intel needs to buy out nvidia and put its gpu core on the processor, or this means nothing. Cause if amd puts its best video CPUs on the processor cores (ATI cores that is), intel is screwed.
My pessimistic side says they are probably putting linux on their backlog of machines not ready for the power hungry vista. My optimistic side says you still have to give them credit for actually supporting linux for real this time.
So sorry, the government drew too much social security money out to fund the war on terror. You will have to wait until you are 107 years of age to benefit from your contributions.
Oh I was confused back in the day. I was using borland pascal, pascal for windows, in addition to c++. They send me a marketing flyer for delphi hyped up as a new and unique language and offering me an upgrade of one of my current products, no mention whatsoever that it was pascal on it. I threw it away cause I had no idea it was pascal...later I figured it out (Their sales told me no new pascal would be offered but they had a new delphi product that replaced it)...by then I had moved on to c++ as the only product of theirs I still used. I guess now I got the chance to get a back into pascal a little with the delphi/c++ combo in their new studio line, when and if I upgrade.

Didn't OS/2 do that way back when?
Yes its there...I use noatime on many linux servers. Most definetly use it where news and maildir type mail folders are mounted.
/dev/sda2 /var/spool ext3 noatime 1 2 /dev/sdb1 /home ext3 noatime,usrquota 1 2

Your smokin crack aren't you AC? I bet thats why you wanted to keep your identity a secret.
LOL, somebody please mod this coward up :)

rail gun projects? Nooooo...I think rail guns are way cooler, especially when they malfunction.

It makes sense, you gotta have 2gb of ram for vista to even perform marginally well...and it requires more disk space too.

That used to hose linux (and perhaps unix) systems, but that was fixed years ago.

It still is an educational tool to me...yes disagreements are the norm but the only internet war I know of is those kiddies playing FPS games.
