What does layer 3 really mean? Is it just another/codec/, or does it mean something else? COULD video be encoded to mp3, or would that be mpeg with an mp3 audio stream? Any pointers, url's, hints, braincells appreciated.
You're comparing apples and lemons here. Yes, pdf/ps keeps layout, html doesn't. But that doesn't mean pdf is/ahead/ of html. HTML was never meant to keep exact layout (AFAIK). HTML does what it was meant to do, (Badly, I must admit, because of the 'extensions', but not due to exact layout issues), and pdf/ps does it's thing.
Yeah, and elisp gave us the chance to do all that wonderfull software?:-)
I haven't seen a program in elisp that wasn't just meant for extending emacs.
Lisp basicly sucks, elist doubly so, except for customizing emacs.
(Don't get me wrong I love emacs, but I don't think elisp is a/real/ programming language (Heck, I don't think LISP is a/real/ programming language:-) ))
IIRC it's called a polarisation filter. Basicly, what it does is filter out all the light that's not polarized in one direction. The all the actual lcd does is polarize the part where the letters / image etc is one way, and the white parts the other way. (With added voodoo for color displays.
You can easily try this with the average $1 calculator. Just open it up and take the top layer of the display. The only way to view it is with the little piece of plastic in front (Or with those expensive (well, they used to be anyway) sunglasses, wich are really just the same stuff. I think you'd be able to view the laptop with them aswell). Extra fun: Turn the polarisation filter 90 degrees, and you get the negative! Idem for laptops iirc.
FUD means Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt. Mostly as a tactic of a large, redmond-based software company, but they're not the only ones using it... They probably wanted to get a copyright on it but weren't allowed to:-)
If they have really made a linux-beos hybrid, that would be interesting. Isn't Be closed source?
If they've licensed some code from Be, and grafted that on linux, they'd have to GPL the whole thing, thus giving us access to part of the source of Be...

Sure why not... But articles can only go to -1 minimally.
Definately. Jameson is the only way to go.

It's a shame there's no moderator option for "Shameless Plug" or you'd be wearing a concerete -1 now....
Nice boots btw.

Indeed. This link's definately going into the "Give to everyone who want's to /do/ linux" section of my bookmarks.
Did emacs once contain a compiler? I know it's big, but THAT big? :-)

How about starting with Better-DNS-Knowledge.org?

That's what I meant. I know, it's not what I said. But I meant it. Really officer, don't take me away! Think of my 8 children and my wife! :-)

HELP, I don't know what fud is. Should I know what fud is? Do I really want to know what fud is?
:-)
(FUD stands for fear, uncertainty, doubt).
Won't work. Canada respects the US's Crypto export laws, so it's still the same. Except that your violating canadian law instead of US :-)
DISCLAIMER: IANAL, This could kill your grandmother or dog. (Or, in some extreme cases both).

Yup, it was. And so was the magic 8-ball. Glad I caught both of them before the slashdot effect began...
God seems to have gone wrong somewhere.... Or does he want another 2000 years?

Nope, You just get terribly tense AND you haven't
got the slightest sense of balans / concentration left.
And what a worthy cause indeed. I suggest we help them. Anybody got some wood and nails?
>the last 32 bits are all ASCII "0".
:-)
Nice compression! Do you get 7 bits in one bit? I think you mean boolean 0
>micro-kernel (well, sort of! )
I agree that NT and linux are totally different kernels, but linux is not a microkernel. A microkernel doesn't contain drivers.
Actually, I'm quite sure windows only uses an IP stack with a similar tcp/ip fingerprint to *BSD.
If you have any actaul proof that winxx uses a BSD derivate, that would be interesting....
>Well, you don't really need a computer, either, unless it's the controller for your iron lung or kidney dialysis machine...

And in that case, I don't think you'll want to reboot it to see your ads every few hours
Your right. It's use is CAUSED by genetic damage :-)
