from ati support Please note - ATI Customer Care has NO INFORMATION regarding:

In short: we dont care about this.
In other words: if more people decide the buying on the quality of the linux drivers we would improve it.
THe defect are "lint" like errors. You can view a report about this. I don't think you can trigger most of the errors. first pages i looked they were null pointer dereferences under some condition: If value a is tue and value b is false, under low memory conditions, in other words real bugs, but not the kind of bugs you would see on a error report.
Conclusion: 1. They are selling a tool. 2. THe # errors per 1000 lines is an indication of the quality of the code. Not the quality of the design, not the quality of the concept. nothing else.
The result you found is the quality of the design.
if in one day ba@cyberangels receive almost 6000 mails from people who are smart enough to figure that they get bounces because their addresses have been abused by a spammer and who then proceed to redirect those bounces, you can begin to image the volume of bounces that spamruns create, of the sheer volume of those spamruns themselves, and of the that traffic spam creates for decent providers.
translated:
This is not from normal bounces, this is from people whose e-mail was abused and set a forward on the bounces to cyber angels, OR (less) from people who had more intelligent bouncers, and bounced to the correct domain.
So this is very very small percentage of the total e-mail sent.
I havent played lod in a long time, but after playing the beta for a couple of hours i must conclude something went wrong with the memory.
On a 128 MB 850 Mhz win98 machine it is swapping bad in (tcp-ip) multiplayer. And this game is supposed to be playable in 64 MB! They better update that in the readme.
I know 128 MB is not a lot these days, but this is our 2nd pc, and I am not supposed to touch it since it my wifes PC.
i'ts always a good idea to uninstall any app before upgradeing it
I agree with you IF the application was unimportant for you. But in a real application you have spend a considerate amount of time colleting and entering your dat, you want to upgrade, not replace.
And Control alt delete helps. And reinstalling..... your favourite OS...helps And going back to i.e. 6.0 sp1 helps And installing the latest SP helps. (and not discussing this on/. helps)
AND I WAS NOT TALKING ABOUT BUGZILLA! Maintainers at the mozilla project donÂt care about all the bugs i note at slashdot. Hey, I cannot even link to bugzilla.
Try telling here (i am not talking about bugzilla in the "every bug line) about some bug. They will point to the release notes:
"Install into a new empty directory. Installing on top of previously installed builds may cause problems."
That is an easy way to work around bugs. Just say "donÂt do that" in the readme.
And yes, i think it is strange there are critical bugs in a release candidate. These should be demoted to not important or the thing should still be called a beta.... AND/OR the bug should be explained in the readme. Still time for a 1.4.1. RC4 ?
(by the way, if you think that was a troll then never reply to it.)
1.3.1 happens to be the previous stable release. As is said in the comments of this bug: Why cannot clean the installer the old directory. Answer from developer: How to prevent data-loss if something (user-mail) is in that directory.
i think if you leave this to the user he sure is going to delete the wrong data.
AND YES I AM WORKED UP ABOUT THIS. Try posting something about a bug here on/. . They are trying to help you, but if a bug exists "uninstall first" this is what they will always reply, even if the problem the reporter is heaving has nothing to do with XDOM dllÂs
e cost-per-click (CPC) ads. This means that advertisers pay only when users click on ads. You'll receive a portion of the amount paid for clicks on AdWords ads on your website. Although we don't disclose the exact revenue share, our goal is to enable publishers to make as much or more than they could with other advertising networks
And they donÂt tell you what they pay, how much for a click. In googlestyle this is undisclosed.
Pop quiz: if MTBF is a million years, how do you explain the occasional airframe failure, say, eg TWA 800? Hint: It doesn't require any foul play.)
Let me try:(please reply if i am in the right direction)
1.This 1 in a millon year does not count when the airplain is burning, or some other component failed. 2. The airplane has lots of components. Suppose that if a door fails this could lead to failure of the airframe. if the plane has 3 doors the change goes down to 4 failures in a million year. LOTS of components can fail. there are lots of planes and lots of years.
Supose you have a 1.1 hub. If you connect a 2.0 device to it it will slow down to 1.1 speeds.
But it gets more difficult...
Suppose you have 2.0 (hi speed) HUB. You connect a 1.1 webcam , a 1.0 keyboard and a 2.0 usb disk. The hub connect to a real 2.0 USB port n the PC.
The disk probablly will only have 160 Mb/s bandwith available. The total capity of this connection is 0.5 + 4 + 160 Mbs/s = a lot less then the 480 you think you will get.
It gets worse if you use multiple hubs
So If you use a HUB you have to be aware what the speeds are of the HUB and the hardware you connect to it are.
Yes, USB is not a simple as it started out. But hte plug and pray is great!
"If source code is copied from protected Unix code," the SCO document adds, "there is no way for Linus Torvalds to identify that fact."
True. It is impossible to find out if someone else has a tradesecret.
But then there is a lawyer problem. Linus (or some other kernel hacker) puts a GPL tag on the source. Is he/she allowed to do that? Is the GPL legal? The point is, who GPLed it, and does that make the GPL viral? (And is the Sys V copyright viral?)
They could always sue linus for being a basterd that who not care . He called himself that multiple times in interviews.
When you end up with 200 Megs taking up 1Gb on disk I'd say it affects performance.
That is called slack. And that is a problem with many small files. Especially under FAT the minimun amount of space a files takes is quite large. That NOT fragmentation.
Defragmentation almost never saves you any space. saving space is called compression. (And compression leads to fragmentation in w2k, now that is a braindead implementation!)
Fragmentation (might) occurs if the is a low % of free space. 1 GB free on my 120 GB disk is bad. 1 GB free on my 4 GB disk is (mostly) OK.
Slashdot Mirror
Slashdot decided never to cache a site themself(see the faq). As a result form this many sites have died in the process of being /.ed.
/. cache the articles? Too much legal work i suppose. Why does google get aways with this? They took the legal work?
Why doesnt
-They are tracking him down. (google and whois skills)
-The spammer used a fake identity (no really!) to post to the same forum.
-There are contract adresses AND phone numbers but nobody seemd to call them. (my note: It seems quite save to post your phone number on the internet. Just never post a valid e-mail on this thing called the internet)

company that doesn't explain what the "32 defects
THe defect are "lint" like errors. You can view a report about this. I don't think you can trigger most of the errors. first pages i looked they were null pointer dereferences under some condition:
If value a is tue and value b is false, under low memory conditions, in other words real bugs, but not the kind of bugs you would see on a error report.

2. THe # errors per 1000 lines is an indication of the quality of the code. Not the quality of the design, not the quality of the concept. nothing else.
The result you found is the quality of the design.
The # flaws per leads to:
-Every program can be at least one line shorter.
-Every program has a least x bug per xxx lines.
Conclusion:
The ideal program has no lines and no bugs.
and to prevent any insightful moddings of this post:
Yes, the design is more important than the quality of the software, ask MS about this.

If you knew about it it wouldnt be secret would it?
But there is a secret set.
If fact, if they were deliberatly chosen not to have any visible patterns, that would make them completely nonrandom.

They were not even random. it was odd, even, odd, even.

I agree with you IF the application was unimportant for you. But in a real application you have spend a considerate amount of time colleting and entering your dat, you want to upgrade, not replace.
That is why they call in upgrading sometimes....
Generic solutions sometimes "just work."

If i check bugzilla there are currently 343 bugs open that are:
blocker or critical
and
assigned. (i did not select new 1441 bugs because they still contain dupes, or bugs that need te be cleaned).
That is a LOT! and they want 1.4 to be the next stable release for a longer time. I think it is still time forsome bugsquasing before releasing is.
LotÂs of these bugs are cross platform bugs (example:it wont build on true64,aix)
One bad bug i want to note is:209896
Bug: mozilla crashes if upgraded from 1.3.1 to RC2.
workround: uninstall first.
Yeah right: so every bug somebody calls (on some generic internet forum) the response will be: delete you mozilla directory first, then reinstall.

due to the "virality" of the GPL they exclude the mysql library from php.
The real free license is BSD based , but there other people can walk away with your work.
