I doubt that will make any difference. It looks like ~100Mbit/s in additional load which resembles normal load when not summer time. There's loads of more bandwidth. Even the webserver has much to give with four CPUs and an avg load of only 2.
At work, the enterprise stuff from sun is rock solid - no suprise there, though I do find the ultra 5's and 10's crash far more frequently than some of the x86 server stuff about the place with RH/FC etc.
Well that shouldn't be surprising, ultra 5 and ultra 10 aren't servers, they are old workstations with PC-style hardware (except for CPU). My experience is that ultra 10's are far more stable than ordinary PCs. We have hundreds of each (although, the ultra 10's are on their way out).
Copy/Paste operations in X-Windows are usually quick, except that I often copy a URL and then expect to highlight-and-paste in the Location bar of my browser; Unfortunately, highlighting replaces what I put in the clipboard intentionally, and I paste the URL I'm trying to remove!
This is not a problem. At least mozilla & firefox allow you to paste URLs in the main window. It works really smooth.
The growing illteracy in this country is a major problem. We sould be embarased about having higer illteracy rates than Iraq and Cuba, let alone most of europe.
Parts of Europe and possibly Cuba has higher literacy rates than the US, but I highly doubt Iraq.
From the CIA World Factbook:
Literacy:
definition: age 15 and over can read and write total population: 40.4% male: 55.9% female: 24.4% (2003 est.)
Come on. He never said it had the computing power that can be compared to a 2GHz mobile P4, he just stated that the performance was not an issue for him with his setup.
I have a 1GHz powerbook and I have no problem whatsoever with performance. Sure, I wouldn't mind if it was faster, but nothing that I consider being a problem.
Heh, that reminds me of a time when I was doing some work on my computer in the terminal, and accidentally typed "mount/booty" instead of "mount/boot."

Yep, didn't work for me either with RC2 under w2k. First time I did it I thought about the answers and it just got slower and slower so I checked task manager and it was using more and more CPU (until it hit 100%) and more memory by 10KB/s or something.
Next time I tried I did all the questions fast and no problem then.
Windows: I don't believe DMA is enabled by default on windows(both for Hard drives & CD/DVD), but there is a setting in the device manager of the control panel.
W2K enables DMA on harddrives by default, but not on CD/DVD units. I don't know about 95/98/ME/NT4 though.

I used FreeBSD as my main desktop system, but after realizing I really wanted _all_ the hardware support from my nVidia card, I switched to linux on my desktop (but I'm still running FreeBSD on my general server box).
As he [Theo] states in all the replies to this, which seems reasonable to me, that they just fixed a bug during their auditing and that they did not realized that it was a exploit. This seems very reasonable, but people does not seem to get it, which is very sad.
Aint bad? PAL alot better than NTSC since the different framerates aren't very noticeble, I can assure you that the number of horizontal lines is very noticeble. But of course I wouldn't mind even higher resolution.:)

No, not at all. It would still be no problem.

That was his point. Read it again.
No. You are wrong. It is a public IP adress.

Now thats a nice freudian slip...

Thats not true. Mozilla 1.1 appeared one or maybe two days after the first releases. I'm running it.

Why the name "libpr0n"?
The main goal of the library is to render pornographic images in an efficient way. Plus, the name "imglib2" is boring.

Thats just because all you read is slashdot.

:/
So it's all nVidias fault
Works for me, and no I'm not running win95/98 so the devices will not work with my box.
I'm running Mozilla 0.8 on Linux...

Are you new to Unix? It all depends on the shell. Might even be his own shell (fosh? :) since he never stated which...
It was the NIC's fault. And besides.. Realtek cards sucks big time. (Yeah I got two rtl8139 but don't use them unless I really need them.)
Great! I've been waiting for sftp in OSSH for a while now! Yummy

Haskell lets you do this too.
