I'm not so sure, 2.5.54 is far slicker on the desktop than 2.4.x (about as responsive as windows, even without dri). If this patch is causing great excitement, then I can only assume linux is now more responsive on the desktop than windows.
Now, if only supermount was in the 2.5 kernel tree........
even with in discributions their are all kinds of dependancy problems.
I used to use Mandrake, a lot of there compiles were broken of missing bits (e.g kamera), so I decided to recompile from source. Most of the source compiles went ok, but a few had problems with Mandrake left overs.
Then I though it was about time to upgrade to GCC 3.x, it would be a nightmare to find all the C++ apps that needed 2.9x so I switch to Gentoo.
I've had a couple of problems with Gentoo, but I'm fairly sure that it's going ot be the easiest distribution to manage and upgrade.
BT and the UK government both well know for their liberalism and acountability think it's a good idea for people to have a number.
Maybe, if that happens, the Government can pay me the £1,500 they've overtaxed me. and BT can send me details of how to cancel a service I havn't used for 9 months. (instead of the 'we are unable to reply from this address' email).
Hey, what happens if I don't get a number? can I sell crack and get away with it?
I know you've been pumped full of american bullshit for most of you life, so I'll forgive you ignorance.
Last time I checked there havn't been any modern communist societies (they all got wiped out during collonisation), you need a benine dictator to have a dictatorial communist society and all recient dictators have been militant.
No monkey boy the adverage person makes infinatly more, my spare time and freedom from opression is worth far more that you stupid braindead 60 hours a week.
And the computer thing, I wouldn't need a computer because I wouldn't have capatilism to bitch about.
"we would not have ships, planes, affordable computers, cars....."==Fucking huge CO2 emmissions and loads of methane from all the cows. We would not have land-lords (so no rent), cost of living would be about 12 hours work a week(max). I'd never be hungry (my family comes from temperate regions). I could sleep more-or-less when I wanted.......
It's fast for trivial lookups because it's light weight and has low functionality, and that's the market it's aimed at.
If it tries to take on Oracle then it would leave all it's current users running old versions.
Postgres is the heavyweight of the OSS databases and it already replacing Oracle in some installations. (I believe some TLD servers switched to postgres).
The artical says EM. or blah, blah, blah, magnetic field, blah, blah.... planet, IO, satellite no moon were sending a satellite ahhh I'm confused... anyhow EM.
You assuming that people will take the socilist drug if it's produced.
You can still do the 'very' basic math
1: Find a group of people that need[and want] 'curing'. 2: aproximate how hard it is to cure them. 3: Rank the cure
repeat a few times and pick out the top few (and maybe a couple of easy ones for the knowlage gained)
If there were 100billion gay people that wanted 'curing' then somone would make the drug, charge $10 and make a trillion. (SFAIK prozak works quite well)
You are talking out of your...... well 2 slower cpu's run cooler than one fast one. 2 slower CPU's are cheaper. (production yeilds are higher) 2 slower CPU's have twice as much cache. 2 slower CPU's have less latency (think 1 cpu waiting the other actually doing something, instead of 1 cpu waiting) All applications should be written multi-threaded, for when my 1000 CPU's are slower than your 1 CPU. And how many times have you booted into DOS and run a single application. I have 40 processes running at the moment.
On the bookkeeping, there isn't too much overhead between 1CPU and 2CPU's since you still have to do most of the bookkeeping for a single CPU system(unless your running dos!). System architecture is one of the main overheads, if chipsets had better support for multiple CPU's then that overhead would vanish (infact the single CPU system would also have a performance boost).
Your thinking Mythical Man Moth, well the Mythical Man Moth argument doesn't hold up when there's more work and information than can be handled by one person.
End of Vietnam, and comets are going to hit the earth etc.. End of the cold war, and comets are going to hit the earth, watch out for dirty bombs. Not convincing Europe that sadam is evil, watch out for dirty bombs and comets are going to hit the earth.
Estimated time till the was is over, 10 years. so in 12 years, comets are going to hit the earth.

Ok, so that's how my linux box is setup (without post install configuration), why isn't windows setup this way?
or alternativly...
make xconfig and enable/disable options for a perfect kernel.
Windows NT server and workstation have different scheduling priorities controled by a setting in the regersetery.

more red blood cells
-> more oxygen
-> more oxidisation
-> more mutations
-> cancer
faster growth
-> more cell devisions
-> more mutations
-> cancer
faster growth
-> odd growth patterns (giantism)
-> lymphatic desieces
-> early death
People who naturaly have the 'enhancements' die young.

anyhow maybe this man should stick to phyisics
well, it took me ages to work it out so I'm a fool tooooo.
all flys are web servers. spiders web.
the fly is a web server. think spider.......

MySQL, will never take on Oracle.
It's fast for trivial lookups because it's light weight and has low functionality, and that's the market it's aimed at.

fud until someone found out what got sent upto microsoft update.
Yeh I though about going on holiday in Libya.
What were you thinking about?

Try having migrain and you'll realise how much you brain fills in for you. (e.g. you have to work out what different letters are!).

I cannot think of a recient 'breakthrough' drug that hasn't been patented by a large company.
The human genome only just scaped into the public domain, and that was a huge international effort vs one company.
Either the government isn't targeting very well, or there just not putting enough effort in.
the government(people) should put a lot more funding into universities for that kind of research.
If your nationally pickey then create a national patent system with free use in your country but licensed to other countries.
You are talking out of your...... well

Ah, planning for the future.
End of Vietnam, and comets are going to hit the earth etc..
End of the cold war, and comets are going to hit the earth, watch out for dirty bombs.
Not convincing Europe that sadam is evil, watch out for dirty bombs and comets are going to hit the earth.
Estimated time till the was is over, 10 years.
so in 12 years, comets are going to hit the earth.

VOTE FOR ME!!!!! I will save you.
and the budget.
Bush was on the ball, the 10 Nobel prize winning economists and 90 other economists that said his budget was a fuckup were wrong.
and the florida thing.
The cost of war in iraq has estimates upto $100bln, that's 2000x more expenisve.
It's already cost several billion in aid packages to Turkey, because they didn't want US troops in there country. (I'd like that backhander)
I would be a vegie but.
Road Kill
Death by Combine Harvister
etc.. makes it pointless.
I do grow some food at home that is vegie.
1 and 3 fine, they'd find somthing else.
but in 2 you are directly helping exploit someone, i would never do 2, ignorance is bliss and all that.
