Slackware rc.d dittoes. The only improvement I would make is to include a shutdown-time equivalent of rc.local. I named mine rc.local.6, and I just call it from rc.6.
Most geek job listings I've seen want a bunch of unrelated qualifications. Example: Must have 3+ years experience in JAVA, COBOL, LINUX, SCO and FORTRAN. Oh yeah, VISUAL BASIC too!
I mean c'mon, make up your fucking mind! Which skills do you actually need? (Sorry, I'm bitter right now... Apple fucked up my repair, and I may never see my powerbook again. Bastards.)
I just implemented the world's cheesiest threading system on a nonexistent computer. (It's a simple simulation I wrote.) It was hard yet fun. Maybe I'll get around to posting code some time.
That's like saying I'm going to secretly communicate with my friend across the street using a megaphone, and if you listen in, it's illegal.
Communicate in pig-latin (or another cheezy code). Then slap listeners-in with the DMCA-(blow?)fish. Obviously, they were decrypting your conversation!
The problem with DDT was the frickin' amount being used. Obviously you haven't seen the film of happy people being voluntarily gassed with insane amounts of the stuff. No wonder it was reaching toxic levels in boob-juice. It'd probably still be in use today if it had been used in sensible amounts (i.e. very small).
You should be getting a few million keys/sec, not 5,500 keys/sec. Perhaps you made a mistake? I get 4.5 million keys/sec on my XP 1600+ running 2.4.23.
Maybe I'll give 2.6 a try, it's worth it for faster RC5...:D
I've had this idea for a long time (and obviously I wasn't the only one), but I'm not skilled enough to do it. I'm glad somebody's doing it, and I can't wait to try it.
A previous poster said they didn't think it would be very fast. In VPC, the slowest stuff is graphics. A native Win32 API would handle graphics crap natively, which would be a heckuva lot faster, probably faster than VPC's special graphics driver approach. As to how much time most windows apps spend in the APIs, I wouldn't know... but consider that those APIs == everything: GUI, networking, file access, etc. The amount of stuff being done inside the emulation will most likely be much less than in VPC or bochs.
If they ever get DirectX (say from WineX) implemented... whoa.
1. I find it slightly disturbing that you included "your mom" in there. 2. Most of us would be more likely to have the problem of forgetting we don't have a woman, rather than forgetting how big her tits are. Or is that why you included "your mom"?

Patrick V., if you're reading... pleeeease?
Indentation screwed up for last loop (I assume that's slashdot's fault).

Gotta implement an I/O system...
You can't fool us... you have no sex life.
Good idea! And since you just said, it, why don't you go first?
Even a volvo is ominous with a MWD (Massive White Dude) in it... (RTFA)

"Boob-juice"... heh heh heh.

In fact you could make an installer that contains the entire operating system!
I believe emacs has something like that.
Duuude... That's what it is! It's supposed to run windows programs. This is not designed to run Linux/*BSD/SkyOS/DOS.
Just Windows.
They may be porting it to PPC, but it'll still be windows code.
Ditto... Anybody know how fast RC5-72 is on an XBox?

Oh yeah, bring a coil of rope and some duct tape!
Obviously Microsoft already integrated the BSD-license version.
(How many people will get this post?)
Most people only know the first few decimal places of PI, so you can fake it, and as long as you get the first few right, you're cool.
PI = 3.14159265666945943945943

Distributed.net stats are BETTER than porn!
My 90MHz pentium is handling it just fine. Via dial-up.
Granted, it's not even turned on, but it *is* handling things just fine.
Eagerly awaiting +5, Informative.
However, "cartridges and stuff"....
:)
I am offended Sir, that is my Nintendo Game & Watch collection, mostly boxed!
I had no idea what most of it was... sorry.
In case anybody's afraid to click that link, it's just game cartridges and stuff.
Be more descriptive when linking to images.
Sorry, but those analogies just don't cut it...
It's "Open" as in "OpenVMS".
Top that.
