Yeah, except "single-user" isn't something to say "blah blah blah" about (and neither is "TCP/IP stack" but BeOS has one of those). Count me in as someone who might try BeOS when it's multiuser if it fits in my 250 mb empty partition (yes, despite all the "advocates" posting trash under this/. article).
"ext2fs" and "rpm" are not inherently buzzwords, and neither are "BeMessage" and "AppServer." Nonetheless, all could be used as buzzwords if someone wanted to (i.e. "Microsoft will take years to catch up with RPM technology" and offering no further explanation and also there being a good chance that the people you are talking to don't already know what RPM is). When I said they are nothing but buzzwords here, I meant "here" as in "here in this post I am replying to," not "here on slashdot."
If you want to see what people mean when they say that Be advocates are irritating, look no further than this post. Knowing that the person he is responding probably hasn't taken the time out to read up on just what BeMessage and AppServer are, he just throws them out there in buzzword-like fashion, followed by a nice little taunt ("...that alone would take a very, VERY long time [to implement]") and expects all readers to just cower in awe without giving any substance as to what his cute buzzwords actually mean (not to mention downplaying the fact that Windows95 has a LOT of API calls that have a lot of details that have to exactly match the original or things don't work right). Now, I don't doubt that the technologies behind "BeMessage" and "AppServer" are very real and very useful, here they're nothing but buzzwords. This kind of crap might impress those PHB's, but around here it won't do much but tick people off (like, for instance, me).
I don't know about you, but I don't reboot any of my home machine more than once a month (even an NT one), and at work, I don't even KNOW HOW to reboot the machines! If the boot time were something like 2 seconds, it might be useful for a sort of nintendo/appliance value, but 20 is irrelevant.
You have a point that the most a lot of people can possibly do with source is pay someone else to implement desired changes for them, but you also ignored my point. Booting in 20 seconds is so utterly irrelevant that those who tout it almost certainly have some kind of hidden agenda behind their advocacy of the BeOS.
If people flame, it's probably in reaction to all the NT zombies who've droned on and on for years that roothacks on NT are inherently impossible, which is still fair to do even with sendmail.:)
The only way to prove that factoring is not NP-complete would be to present a polynomial time algorithm to do it (or you could show that one exists without showing how to do it, but I don't see how you'd do that). However, the absence of such a proof certainly does not prove that factoring *IS* NP-complete.
I think you meant to say "P is not equal to NP" instead of "P=NP." But even then, what existing encryption algorithms have NP-complete strength (which would have to be the case in order for such a proof to exist)?
AFAIK, nVidia did not release specs, just source written by someone who had specs, which is almost as good. Also afaik, Matrox is not planning on releasing ANY specs for G400 any time particularly soon.
I have an mp3 which causes mpg123 to print error messages, while otherwise playing just fine. These messages cause gqmpeg to crash quite reliably (or at least they did so last time I tried it).
What tricks would those be? According to all the people actually involved in this alleged black deal, MetroWerks decided to market their new version of CodeWarrior as running on Red Hat Linux ENTIRELY OF THEIR OWN ACCORD. I ask again, what MS tricks has Red Hat been pulling?
You say you are counted as 4 linux users because you bought 4 copies of linux. This is blatantly untrue. No counting effort I have ever heard of is so closely based on copies sold. This would be such a dumb idea, because not only will people buy different distros to try out such as you did (especially when they can be had for $2 at cheapbytes), but some people will buy one copy and install it many times, which is perfectly legal with linux. Trying to say the two will just hopefully cancel out nicely would be absolutely retarded.
I also do a similar thing and find it works rather well:
desktop 1 has xemacs20 filling up the whole screen for editing all kinds of text files desktop 2 has netscape open looking at documentation or example code of some kind desktop 3 has a terminal for running "configure" or "make" and also for invoking my program in a gazillion different ways desktop 4 has ddd (or an mp3 player:)
Would someone care to tell me where exactly the blatant losses in usability as compared to MSVC++ are in this setup?
Slashdot Mirror
Because GTK+ already contains that wheel. Switching to windows' wheel would be more work.

Yeah, here's the URL:
http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32
It's buggier than the X version, though.
Having the source is significantly more important than being able to boot in 20 seconds.
That page has been up since not too long after the first Mindcraft Samba benchmark.
It's just data. It doesn't run on the host CPU at all.
Matrox conveniently left the specs for their triangle setup engine out of their g200 spec release. Has something similar been done here?
If people flame, it's probably in reaction to all the NT zombies who've droned on and on for years that roothacks on NT are inherently impossible, which is still fair to do even with sendmail. :)
You'd also have to prove that P!=NP, but then again, who cares about np-complete if P==NP.

If the only errors you get are that gtk+ and glib >= 1.2.2 are needed, but you only have 1.2.1 of each, using --nodeps is perfectly safe.
AFAIK, nVidia did not release specs, just source written by someone who had specs, which is almost as good. Also afaik, Matrox is not planning on releasing ANY specs for G400 any time particularly soon.

RPM's are signed by redhat.
I also have it working with my millenium g200. What I wanted to know is how to get CrystalSpace to use it.
Has anyone gotten this library to use glx (TNT or G200) under Linux? All I see for 3d renderers is a software renderer...

I don't know whose defintion of free you are trying to say YaST fits under, but if what you say is true, it sure as hell doesn't fit under debian's.
