Personally I found gentoo easier to use and less buggy than Ubuntu and windows seriously sucks when it comes to anything server like.
I drew my conclusions based on his review and his take on the whole vista vs ubuntu thing and I think he had a slight bias to Vista in terms of out of the box performance and let ubuntu slip with some of the configuration nasties (though Windows is a pig/impossible to configure if it doesn't work straight away)
even better (if you want versioning) Setup a second machine or even drive with a subversion repository and do a checking of home every night/ time you logoff switch off the pc etc...
That way you won't loose a thing, even if you accidentally change the contents.
Reading through the article Ubuntu really should have had the edge over windows in the end, e.g. Add remove programs in Vista and the package manager Ubuntu work in simila ways but you get a hell of a lot more packages with Ubuntu than you do with Windows. but his summary puts them on equal par.
Do you feel happy allowing people to run an operating system that at least in the server world is a complete pile of shit that randomly breaks in completely unfixable ways with poor documentation etc....
You could run multiple versions of XWindows using different configuration files.
In the configuration file you specify where the input devices come from and how you graphics card is setup so it should be faily easy to get one instance of X pointing to one KVM combination and one to the other.
If you've ever tried English clotted cream fudge you'll realise that the think blocks of icing passed of as fudge in America are nothing like real fudge. Fudge is a bit like chocolate in that sense.
All they had to do was Take DirectX 9. Merge vertex and index buffers into a single buffer resource Take out the Fixed pipeline Implement geometry shaders
The Direct3d Layer of wine could easily be ported to Windows or Mac OSX without requiring the rest of Wine, the same it true for most of the DLL's in wine. There's even a plan as part of the wine project to get the Direct3D Drivers running under windows by porting everything over from XGL to WGL. Wine Direct3D also represents several years of work by several people and has many of the gotchas they would face already ironed out.
I suggest you get Cody and Julian to talk to the wine people.
but this isn't DirectX 10 or anything else from Microsoft it's a clone of DirectX 10 probably using DirectX 9 so I don't even need to look at Microsoft EULA
I downloaded it and everytime I start up a Direct X 10 tutorial it crashes out, the file sizes 400k also seem a little small.
I'd also like to know how he implemented Vertexs and Indexs since in DirectX 10 you allocate one buffer and it can be any type but under DirectX 9 you have to choose the type of buffer when you create it. Copying all that stuff into memory so you can allocate the buffer in the DirectX 10 drive at render time is going to slow things down a hell of a lot.
Still if it worked it would be very interesting for the wine project.
What we need is an updated version of CSS that lets you do things like reference other elements attributes so that you can create tables and line up things across/down the page. The ability to put different images on the left and right hand sides and top and bottom and all variants off would be great for putting rounded corners on things etc... instead of having to do hacks link putting in extra p tags just for the image.
HTML is more or less fine, give me a better version of CSS anyday.
Implement some kind of drm enforcing hardware. Get all the studios to require your hardware if their customers want to play their discs on a PC Profit.
I can take two pictures, and ask you which one is more beautiful, and make notes. Repeat the process with a different set of pictures etc... and in the end I should be able to tell which of two pictures you find more beautiful. There is already software that makes faces appear more beautiful than they would normally be.
You can define everything scientifically, so if something can't be defined scientifically than it's been made up by someone on a rainy day and doesn't exist.
1: Think of something that doesn't exist. 2: Because it doesn't exist tell people that you cannot prove it doesn't exist so it must do. 3: Start a religion + Profit.

But those packages don't come out of the box on windows (and they code ££) and he was testing windows vs Ubuntu out of the box.
Control Panel/ Add remove programs
Add New Programs or Add/Remove windows components lets you install new apps under windows.

Well, the people who write windows software don't allow other people to run the OS of there choice, even if it actually works.

Not using Windows is a moral derision

All they had to do was
Take DirectX 9.
Merge vertex and index buffers into a single buffer resource
Take out the Fixed pipeline
Implement geometry shaders
and there you have it DirectX 10
You should have donated to wine instead

How do you define attack? If some looked at me funny could I kill them?
That's all fine and well, but when was the last time you had a argument with a man that had PMT

There's nothing stopping anyone else from blocking access to the framebuffer.

Profit.

There is already software that makes faces appear more beautiful than they would normally be.
and there is currently no logical reason for believing in a god or gods at all.
In the past with so many things unexplained believing in a God would probably make more sense than some of the explanations we have today.
God has no place in a modern world.
Easy, To test our faith, because without faith God is nothing.
It's perfectly possible to study beauty in a scientific way.
You can define everything scientifically, so if something can't be defined scientifically than it's been made up by someone on a rainy day and doesn't exist.
