This is BS. Why would the number of processors affect the maximum size of a process' virtual address space? Can you please provide a link that documents this new Windows 2K/XP feature?
I agree, but WHY is that? WHAT do Apple's programmers and designers have the Linux/GNOME programmers do not? Is there any (technical) reason someone could not hack together a smooth Mac OS X work-a-like on top of Linux? Maybe Linux/GNOME users are just blinded by their Unix heritage. But then why isn't Mac OS X blinded by its NEXT heritage?
I think California (and maybe Oregon and Washington) should secede from the Union. Californians are unfairly subsidizing those welfare states. California's economy is the world's fifth largest. Including Washington in the new Left Coast (Left Bank?) would be helpful because of tax revenues from Microsoft.;-)
There is no such thing as IE7. Microsoft has said that IE "6.1" will be the last standalone release of IE. From now on, IE will just be part of the OS.
true dat. I've done some Pocket PC development for both Strongarm and XScale processors. In our testing, the app compiled for Strongarm rather 2x slower on the 400 MHz XScale processor than on the 206 MHz Strongarm! That's 4x slower per MHz. ouch.
Intel said you needed to "optimize for XScale". I asked how and they said to use their new XScale compiler. Unfortunately, it was not released yet! I became a beta tester for their XScale compiler. Unfortunately, even with max-speed optimizations, the XScale-only binary was larger and about 1% SLOWER than the Strongarm binary.
what was Intel smoking? I really hope their marketing hype that the new XScale architecture can scale up better than the old Strongarm architecture, but we'll see...
Politics is a great investment. You can buy influence so much for such little money. Are these politicians really whoring themselves for a mere $10,000 or $20,000 a pop? They could ask so much more, but I guess there is a lot of competition in Congress for these dollars which might keep the price down.
The new Journaled File System, on which the Linux port was based, was first shipped in OS/2 Warp Serverfor eBusiness in April, 1999, after several years of designing, coding, and testing. It also shipped withOS/2 Warp Client in October, 2000. In parallel to this effort, some of the JFS development team returnedto the AIX Operating System Development Group in 1997 and started to move this new JFS source base tothe AIX operating system. In May, 2001, a second journaled file system, Enhanced Journaled File System(JFS2), was made available for AIX 5L. In December of 1999, a snapshot of the original OS/2 JFS sourcewas taken and work was begun to port JFS to Linux.
Will tell you that if your culture doesn't promote structured competition you are DOOMED to failure. Thereâ(TM)s Russia (1990), Feudal Europe (Dark Ages), East Germany (Circa 1940s-90s) and countless others too numerous to mention.
I read all about the qualified people who can't find jobs, but I have not seen it first hand. My employer is actively hiring for senior QA jobs. The resumes that actually land on my desk look good, almost too good. When I interview these people, almost ALL of them haved lied on their resumes. They say they have a Masters degree in CS and are C++ experts, but they don't know what a pointer is or how to find the length of a C string. Their resumes say they know JavaScript, but when I ask them to solve some JavaScript code problems, they admit they can't because they have not used JavaScript in 4 years and must have the docs in front of them to remember the syntax.
Where are all the qualified people? I assume they are the ones who still have jobs because they are certainly not the people who I am interviewing..
Now, the Star-Belly Sneetches Had bellies with stars. The Plain-Belly Sneetches Had none upon thars.
Those stars weren't so big. They were really so small You might think such a thing wouldn't matter at all.
But because they had stars, all the Star-Belly Sneetches Would brag, "We're the best kind of Sneetch on the beaches." With their snoots in the air they would sniff and they'd snort "We'll have nothing to do with the Plain-Belly sort!" And whenever they met some when they were out walking They'd hike right on past them without even talking.
When the Star-Belly Children went out to play ball, Could a Plain-Belly get in the game...? Not at all. You only could play if your belly had stars And the Plain-Belly Sneetches had none upon thars.
Although both the ACLU and the ACLU Foundation are part of the same overall organization -- it is necessary to have two separate corporate entities of the ACLU to receive two separate types of funding. This allows for the over-arching support of all the ACLUâ(TM)s various activities. Gifts to the ACLU Foundation are fully tax-deductible to the donor; membership dues and gifts to the ACLU are not tax-deductible.
I think they require you to handwrite the entire Honor Pledge so they have a long sample of the test taker's handwriting. It might be useful for detect cheaters (where someone takes the test on behalf of someone else). A signature might be easy to learn or obfuscate, but two handwritten Honor Pledges certainly wouldn't match.

55808 decimal = da00 hex ("day zero")
Some other article mentioned that the ASCII string "Day0" appears in some of the data.
Windows users reading a Mac OS X story on a Linux news site? yup, that's me.

Linux JFS is based on OS/2 JFS, not AIX JFS.

he used code from Linux were it was beneficial. The allocator is essentially from Linux for example.
and the design for Linux's slab allocator ripped off Solaris (see "UNIX Internals: The New Frontiers" by Uresh Vahalia).

does the USA count too?

yes, thank goodness. When the government starts spying on you, then you'll wish they were on your side.
If you what to make a tax deductible donation to the ACLU, then donate to the ACLU Foundation. Fight Uncle Sam with your own tax dollars!
ACLU and ACLU Foundation, What is the Difference?
Although both the ACLU and the ACLU Foundation are part of the same overall organization -- it is necessary to have two separate corporate entities of the ACLU to receive two separate types of funding. This allows for the over-arching support of all the ACLUâ(TM)s various activities.

You are John, so his name must be "X5K MaStEr X5K"?
be sure to wear gloves before handling those DVDs! Maybe the DVD service can sanitize the DVD and packaging before sending it back out..
then NetFlix can specialize in adult DVDs and Walmart will leave their niche market alone.
no wonder our nation's schools are overpriced and underperforming.
or maybe the airline industry should make planes that are not vulnerable to cell phones?
