The current day palastinians are arabs. The philistines mentioned in the bible were not. The current day palastinians have no better claim than any other group in the world. They never controlled that land as a single nation. Since the fall of the 2nd Jewish Temple, that land was either directly controlled by the Romans, Turks(Ottomans) or Britain. Never has that land been under control of an Arab government. The Arabs control 99% of the Middle East land mass. Why do the palastinians (which are arabs) have a right to the last 1%?
One, VMS is not Unix. I've only had access as a user, not a developer or admin, but I kinda liked it. It's clustering is awesome.
Two, Intel doesn't need Itanium to beat Sparc, cpu-wise. A P3 1 GHz beats most of the Ultra-Sparc II line, and the P4 series beats the Utlra-Sparc III, including the 900 MHz model. And all this is on FPU-intensive code, like SDRC I-DEAS and custom CAE software.
The ATI tuners are supported by the gatos project. Just search freshmeat for it. Last time I tried it (sometime over a year ago), it was usable, but not perfect.
IP addresses are only 4 numbers. I suppose that if we get used to thinking of phone numbers as groups of numbers instead of single digits, they would become easier to remember.
Actually, Linux does not run out-of-the-box on P4 systems, so it's no loss there. To reply to another poster in this thread, the P4 at 1.5GH is roughly 12% faster than a 1GH P3 on non-P4 optimized code. I don't recall the difference that properly optimized code makes, but it isn't all that much. This information comes from the Ford annual workstation benchmark, btw.
Without the use of a descrambler, legal or otherwise, you do not have the content. Since you have not paid for a copy of the content (in the illegal case), you have no right to obtain it. In the case of dvd's, you own a physical copy of the content (as physical as one can get in this situation). Therefore, one has a right to use whatever means necessary (within reason) to view it. Think of the deCSS case as if book publishers attempted to control the lighting conditions that one could use to be able to see the contents.
I have read several posts that claim that this software is not censorship.
Main Entry: censor Function: transitive verb Date: 1882 : to examine in order to suppress or delete anything considered objectionable >
That definition, obtained from www.m-w.com seems to describe the purpose of the SurfWatch software pretty well. If it is illegal for the Government to censor, and if the Public Library falls under the category of said Government, it is illegal for the software to be installed. I don't really understand the debate.
I have the same problem with my voodoo2 when UT freezes. The easiest way (for me) to fix this is simply to restart UT. Either telnet in from another box and start it, or switch VTs (it is switching, even though you can't see it) and start it. The problem is that when it crashes, UT doesn't reset the voodoo2 to accept signals from the passthrough cable. The other option is to plug your monitor into your 2d card instead of the voodoo2.
On another note, we just did some performance tests of an Octane vs. an HP Visual Workstation (or whatever the hell they're called). The HP actually kicked the Octane's butt in terms of framerate.:-b
I work for Ford, and am involved somewhat with the Unix workstation benchmarking. I can't give out any numbers, but Ford won't buy any new SGIs. Way too slow compared to HP and Sun. A PC with a decent high-end card (Like a Wildcat or HP's FX6) can get into the ballpark of an HP C3000, but there's no way a GeForce could do the same.
Leave the Judeo part out of this. The Gregorian calander is not based on the Jewish calander in any way, shape or form. According to the Jewish calander, it is 5760.
I don't think he was being arrogant. It is a fact that all of these new DEs are being developed on "Modern Machines". That, along with all the eye-candy and program integration that most users of these DEs want means that the target machine is one with a lot of memory and CPU power. I agree that it is unreasonable for people with old (and yes, a 486 is old in the computer world) hardware to expect all the new programs targetted at new hardware to work as well as they do on new hardware.
I think Chris's question is what happens when a minor releases his own software under the GPL. Is the GPL binding on any receivers of the code/program, or can they do whatever the heck they want with it?
I am not a Sofer (scribe), but I believe that there are times when a mistake can be corrected without a complete rewrite. You are correct that man seperate pieces of parchment are used, but that is only because cows don't come in the right size:)

Yes, but can you download it?
Actually, some video boards are designed specifically for one graphics API. The SGI Oddysey series have OpenGL implemented in hardware.
I have a feeling that the G4 at 1.2 Ghz would be putting out more than 21W.

There are 5 PIII 1GH and 3 1.5 GH P4s sitting in one area of the lab here at work. So far, the P4s are keeping pace with HPs latest PA-RISC offering.

I got my copy from the linux-kernel mailing list, of all places.

What bug in vmware? I've been running vmware 2.0beta on 2.2.14 for a week now, and I have not noticed any network problems...
Windows 2000 (win64) already runs on the merced. Nice try though.

ox -> oxen

Just follow the pattern.

ActiveState Perl. Been around longer than Java, AFAIK.
Um, because ATI has released the specs for all their current Rage chips? Including info on the TV tuner included with the All-in-Wonder series?

"When I started using Linux, it was touted as being an entire OS that could live in 40 megs of HD space and 16 megs of RAM on a 286..."
Um, I don't think that linux could ever run on a 286 (the linux86, or whatever it's called, project aside.)

Until linux supports 32bit UIDs, it will not be ready for the enterprise. (My UID at work is in the 300000 range.)
