MPEG 4 is not locked to a specific codec. I've seen movies in both formats and let me tell you that DivX kicks ass compared to asf at the same filesize. A DVD-rip with DivX @ 650Mb kicks ass with vcd @ 2x650Mb.
Think dual booters, not servers... And there you have the answer. In fact I don't dual boot but I typically have about 3-4 different OS'es (or installs) on my machine, just for fun:)
What the fuck is DRI good for then??
AFAIK XFree86 4.0 has it's own support for loadable modules (a donation from Metro-X I believe), so why wouldn't it use that for DRI?
I by no means am disregarding CS/MIS Majors, however I do know for a fact that a significant number of CS/MIS Programs don't teach the latest technology, and have a difficult time keeping up with all the changes.
Yes, I agree, partly... I'm a CS student (two years left) and the stuff we are taught is supposed to be a basis, so we can learn any technology easily. It's no point really in teaching the latest technologies since by the time we're out and working it's most likely old technologies. I try to be updated with as much technologies as possible, but I know lots of people at the university that don't care and only knows what we're taught.
When I bought one of my NIC's it was a FreeBSD driver section on the drivers disk although it only contained a url to the driver... same was for linux.
It was a noname (I can't find any brand on the box) RealTek 8039 10/100 PCI nic.
But on the other hand the driver/card didn't work to good with FreeBSD, 100Mbit mode works just fine but on 10Mbit it gets problem with the buffer and I had to reset about every 24 hours (so I got myself a NE2000 NIC for my 10Mbit network and is still using the RealTek card on my 100Mbit).
Yeah, I know Realtek cards are crap but it was damn cheap ones, I paid $11 each half a year ago...
I really like this. It seems like a good thing. I like the concept about bluetooth: To put it simple it makes everything communicate with anything (as long as it includes the bluetooth chip and is close enough). As far as I know the basic chip communicates about 10m (30feet for you non SI people) as so many else have said already. Combined with IPv6 I suppose this can give you a network in your home with a specific IP for your fridge (if anyone would want that). I'm not sure about how much attention this has had in the rest of the world but here in sweden (where Ericsson, who came up with this, is from) there has been lots of talking about this lately espescially among developers of technical stuff. There has probably been even more about WAP (that also comes from Ericsson and is (_according to me_) more or less useless (I do NOT claim to be a WAP expert) from what I know since it seems to be a http like protocol optimized for bandwidth (WAP = Wireless Application Protocol) which seems to be obsoleted by fast wireless networks for cellulars (100kbit+). WAP is a fuzzword. Bluetooth will be big. If you ask me:)
If you don't know where they got the name bluetooth from, it's a nickname for an old swedish king (something like tenth century, I think) translated to english. I think one of his front teeth were pretty bad so it looked blue or something. But on the other hand who had good teeth at that time???
Anyway.. anything written above might be wrong since I don't claim to be an expert in either Bluetooth or WAP and the fact that I wrote this 4:30AM and is pretty DRUNK... ok? :)
StarCraft Terran marines will run RIGHT BY enemy units and completely ignore them until they finish their "move" command. That depends on how you move them, if you use the 'move' command this is true, but if you use the 'attack' command they will go to that spot and if they encounter any enemies they will attack.
In the good old days I used Photogenics 1.0 and 2.0 (I think it was) alot and I loved it! And still when I'm using GIMP and/or Photoshop I miss several very useful features of Photogenics. I find this very interesting. Even thoough I'm not a graphics person (more coder) I still want to be artistic and Photogenics might be my choice. Of course since there are pros and cons with both photogenics and gimp, so I might use them both.

Thats what _she_ said. hehe

jail is in FreeBSD-4.0 Release and 4 Stable and in FreeBSD-5 current (no doubt).
:)
Details..

It's nothing to worry about, some stubs is fast some is way slower. It's not like RC5 where it takes the same amount of time for _any_ key.

Yes, you are right about that, forgot to mention that (due to circumstances described at the bottom of my post :)
One of the problems with WAP is that it's a propriatary protocol (not like HTTP that is open).

Bluetooth will be big.

Yes, I agree. I just love the FreeBSD port system. (*BSD port system, I suppose, but I've only tried FreeBSD yet)
Yes, I agree.
An not to mention the coder writing the assembly!
of course I mean "interesting"...
sorry about the typo
