It seems that CmdrTaco knows very well the distinction between Vapor and Non-Vapor products, but he is simply biased depending on what camp he is defending in his posting comments. His
damnation about placing the Linux 2.4 kernel on a vaporware list by saying he'd been running it for many months is equivalent to the beta-testers that are running the new Nintendo consoles.
Thanks for the wonderful lesson Taco, but I'm still confused as to where you stand.
Ironic? Just last week the Microsoft DNS system was down, and they point to the BIND exploit as being a major _LINUX_ security hole! LOL... It doesn't get better than this!
It simply is too easy for the other competitors (Intel, and now AMD) to cut prices on their lower-tier CPUs
Heck, that's exactly the point! Let VIA be the sacrificial lamb to bring down the prices of CPU that I'd actually buy! In trying to squeeze out the new competition, the INTELs and AMDs are actually doing the consumer a great service... PRICE WARZ!
This is only one segment of their strategy. They are looking more at mobile/embedded/portable systems like WebPads et al. They emulate the x86 so that they have fast market acceptance into the current structures that are in place. Others have not embraced x86 and look where they are.. companies like... umm... umm... exactly.
"Transmeta, which aims to take on Intel in the processor market, announced that it has received $88 million [snip]".
I guess that the author of this story on CNET was not at the Transmeta press conference way back when. Transmeta is _not_ looking to take on Intel. They specialize in the mobile market, where Intel has not made serious efforts. Looks to me to just be sensationalist journalism. And 88 Million is nothing much for a chip company considering that Transmeta has been running on Angel money for the last 5 years... a lot more than 88 million.....
I don't think that StarOffice is to blame. I Installed both KDE and GNOME and I got the same error messages, right out of the box!.. I then installed only KDE, and everything worked fine.... any comments? what is this ld.so prob!?

I'm Sure X10 has a device or two that could be hacked up or already fits your purpose.
