I use ICQ so I don't have to check my email every 5 minutes. It's very comfy if u need to clear st. up quickly or to appoint a meeting or so. I really don't like chock-full inbox of dispensable stuff.
And ICQ state (online, dnd etc.) is also fine. I don't see it as a tool for monitoring me. It says: 'i'm here if u needed st'. I can be also selectively invisible to someone, if I want to.
I don't use it for a futile chatting, why should I?;)

The whole thing was about various languages. Plan 9 has it's own language - Alef. Why they haven't mentioned? It definitely (at least) interesting. And why everything about it just had disappeared from Internet? Censored;)?

You say it maybe too softly. Mozilla is a real beast and unfortunately unusable on my K6-2/450 and 128MB RAM. Terrible.
Galon is very very cool. Not very usable for me now, `coz I often browse iso-8859-2 webpages and I can't set proper font up. But then it'd must be my default browser;-).
Add Javascript, https, cookies and better stability and ie 5.x can go to hell...

IMO, they won't. The work for ABI for Sladgehammer has already started and (as I could see in the project funded by AMD) it's much more similar to Alpha than to Itanium.
Fortunately, a lot of work has been put to linux developement to work smoothly on 64bits.
On the other hand, both ia64 and sladgehammer will be able to run in "compatible mode"

Hmmm, as one of my friend said: "I'd never buy such a stupid (and expensive) thing like full-featured notebook in its current stage. How can I use it if it's not able to survive more than 2-4 hours or so. I'd like to prepare/rearrange my materials for presentation in a train, I don't need to play q3a in 100fps. I simply need more time and they give me only power.

if you exclude varius text/source code manipulation? What remains and it is not available under windows? Exclude the base of the whole *nix, stability etc and show it is superior. And what if you reverse the question? What does windows studios provides and linux not. Of course exclude RAD. Dumb question, dumb answer.

Most of artists in Renaissance got their money just for "copying" the others. It wasn't as easy as today but it is quite comparable. They seldom invented something new. Mostly they "improved" or "immitated" someone else's work. And it wasn't anything immoral. They were usually hired by someone rich -- sponsored. And to that 15$ for a CD. The average salary in here is about 250$ (per month) and it's pretty easy to remember states where it's much worse...

Don't be funny. Remember the great mechanical "computers" used in armies for balistics computation etc. early in this century. This machines were on the top of its evolution but then a wise man suggested to use simple logic circuits using electricity. Was this obsolete?

The author haven't said explicitely that the worst problem in Linux is sound not gfx. While X goes for The Great and Easy 3D Support (OpenGL + SDL) and even now it works quite fine in beta audio is more than a year behind. The OpenAl project doesn't have a good starting point. The OSS sound drivers are sluggish a crappy. OSS drivers won't do hardware (or even software!) mixing, it won't do full-duplex and won't provide special efects, terrible. ALSA is better but still suffers from unfinished API -- why do A. Cox let them waste their time -- merge ALSA with kernel!

Hmm...I wonder why the results are slightly behind Intel's (or about the same). If you consider pure CPU power benchmarks which are 10% (30% FPU) it seems just weird. None of these so-called-non-biased-benchmarkers have written a single word about it.
How would st. like gcc's -mcpu=athlon parameter for compilation change Athlon's performance? (I was told 30% -- could it be?)
Anyone else tried to compare AMD's officials results to Sharky's or Tom's. What do you say?

Why? Remeber ATI press-release about 4 months ago. They were promising DVD library (not open-sourced) -- and made some people to buy their video hw -- and since then? Nothing. Even the most important people in XFree doing video stuff doesn't know anything.

Sure. I'm not just kidding. We see all these problems with various chipsets (even AMD and VIA have serious problems with good memory controllers) becouse the gap between CPU clock/speed and memory clock/speed becomes frightening.
While CPU need a only few clockticks to operate instructions or data cached somehow the access to today's DIMMs is really terrible. If there's a cache-miss the CPU waits very long time(ie. hundreds of clockticks) till the data is fetched properly. And, if using DIMMs, the same situation is if you want to switch between reading the memory and writing the memory. Really lazy. RIMMS go further this way.
It's a long time from Pentium/66 with memory bus operating the same frequnecy. Now we have PIII or Athlon with 1GHz but the memory is still 100MHz -- pain in the ass.

I can't imagine what method has been used to find out if every single of those 300 thousand people was changing pirated or legally gained mp3s (from radio for example)... They put everybody in the same box, didn't they?

There are many of them. To give one for all imagine this:
if cond then some_code else some_code2 endif
Now, imagine that the some_code2 is executed in 99%. This can't be easily found out but it's relatively easy to do it at runtime. Analogously with types and type checking, loops, and garbage collection.

Really nice,
they shouldn't forget to charge Microsoft and rms becouse of Windows Help respective info.
Haven't they invented even more? Chairs, utensils or something?

They're like security holes -- sometimes funny but obsolete
Why should I like to have a few megs of unusable code in my vi? I don't need a doom game after typing IDDQD on 93th line.
It would be only another thing to be ripped off at compilation time by hand. It suxx
