The bus speed is not the actual problem. The BX chipset is fairly poor at SMP. That coupled with the less than optimal cooling of the BP6 on the BX chipset can cause instability on some boards when running in 2 celerons. Unlike most chips the BX chipset won't get too hot before it crashes, so touching it to measure the heat wont help you. If your system crashes, the recommended solution is to apply thermal paste, flattening the heatsink as the previous poster recommended would probably help too.

Linus is more of a politically minded person, and cares more about linux than he does opensource, when trolltech release qt under the half free licence linus didn't see that as something that harmed linux, but rather helped it, he, probably correctly, assumed that pushing the point would simply piss of the developers which would have worse effects than having a sorta free qt. today's situation is much different, sun's licence really does nothing to help linux(other than the ocasional bugfix to SO), and linus obviously sees that. Until sun is an ally instead of just the enemy of our enemy, we have no reason to support sun, and who knows, maybe bitching about it will make them change their licence.
ps. i personally dislike thinking of MS as our enemy, but i think that is how the majority of the community sees it.
A good centralized site for FUD. Its really great for a self-sacrificing company like microsoft to step up and put linux down for the masses. god forbid they can find balanced information. I think it is a shame that "independant" views are nearly impossible to find, most people are stuck hearing "linux rules dude" or some other "zealotry" as opposed to real advocacy or else they end up seeing a total FUDwash like this.
try -U with multiple rpms should make you not hate rpms so much don't get me wrong i don't like rpms either, but they're not so bad as you make them out to be. and yes i agree debian package system absolutely kicks... now if it only installed right for me... : )
ESR, Do you think that the shortcomings of Sun's source licence (SCSL) are because Sun want's to take advantage of the open source developers, or do you think that Sun is just scared about the possible results of loosing control of their codebase? I think that if Sun would fully be a partner of us open source freaks, both groups would stand to gain. Do you think Sun is really on our side but scared, or just using open source to help them?
but it can be helped. you may want to try a different encoder or higher bitrate mp3s. even then things aren't perfect, but you can get much much closer to the real thing. I'm sure if you ask people for advice you will just start a flame war, and it will just end up as a "my dick(encoder) is bigger(better) than yours" argument. do some of your own tests, because to the best of my knowledge there isn't a comprehensive benchmark for identifying the best encoder. my personal advice would be bladeenc at 256kbit/s, but i didn't even say that because i don't like flamewars
This thing sounds wonderful actually, especially since it has 600MB of removable (but not writable) storage. Sure beats a regular CD player because of its added functionality, and since it has no more moving parts than a diskman, it should be just as portable. Even though this has nowhere near the capabilities of the empeg(and almost none of the hack value:)) i think it will be a big success because of its price tag. At $300 almost any person who purchases audio equipment can afford one. Even me. The only real problem is that not enough people can burn their own cds yet, however, almost everybody knows someone who can do it for them.
i'm thinking that 64bit processors will be the standard within 5 years, then tada no 2038 bug. that is the second biggest reason nobody is worried about 2038, the first being its 39 years from now : )
slashdot is a pretty good example of a site that has "figured it out" this article seems more like something a publisher or editor should be reading, it is of no relevance to a slashdot reader who obviously participates in at least one interactive news forum. This coupled with the possible repurcussions of nuking a nuke site...:) i'm not trying to be anti-katz here (plenty of people do that well enough : )), but i really don't see how this belongs on/.
I'm going to go about my day as normal, but if the world comes to an end or something, i'll post a reply to this to let you all know about it. Here's hoping the world's ending doesn't stop me from posting.
As was mentioned in the interview the win32 version of gimp simply isn't high enough quality to get out of pre-alpha and start being released. But even after its ready, there is quite a bit of risk involved with funding the mass distribution of a program -- not that it couldn't be done, its just expensive to "get the ball rolling". Wilberworks tried selling gimp on cd when 1.0 rolled out, but i don't think they made any money. They will probably do it again for 1.2, it'd much cooler if they can make some money this time : )
That's a pretty long stretch... the movie the net could never be a reality : ) But seriously though, is letting your government know what you look like such a big privacy issue? They already know that you exist from birth certificates or visas. That coupled with the fact that most photo ID comes from the government makes me wonder why this is such a big deal. However, the Secret Service are probably not the people who should store this info -- i would want to know up front what they store it for and when they have access to the information.
As far as I understand things, this makes it harder for a healthy clone to come from an older donor. The most successful clones will be from cells taken during the donor's youth because DNA tends to loose its accuracy and vitality as it ages from radiation and tiny, undetectible freak accidents. This aging puts widescale cloning back a fair bit in that cells have to be collected and frozen for years before the cloners know whether or not they wish to clone them. Alot more than just DNA goes into the formation of individuals, but the early keeping of cells can provide a fairly good reference point for trying to duplicate the organism they were from.
one of the reasons i would rather have bsd than linux is that then i wouldn't be confined by the gpl. I suggest giving people freedom and then letting them decide how to use it.
And I don't really think another win9X release really counts. In the time it will take for NT to have a desktop/home model(what w2k was planned to be), linux will have had a long time to grow. For MS's alledged "betting the farm" on NT the stakes have been fairly low.
Safeway has free bread for anyone who wants it. Rosaurs(sp), who is the original designer of the free bread, asks that users pay $1 per loaf.
Assuming we are cheap because we choose not to pay for what can be had for free is a very offensive attitude. Maybe, just maybe, give people the benefit of the doubt and allow them to make their own choices instead of forming your own offensive stereotypes.
I'm guessing there are at least a hundred, and possibly as many as a thousand KDE contributers, and wouldn't all of them have to agree to have their segments relicenced? If i'm correct that would be one hell of a hard task, especially knowing how many GPL purists there are.(i'm not a real fan myself)

How is this different from all the other "Sure glad my employees aren't going postal days"?

etc.
rpmfind.net also distributes a program called rpmfind that does the work for you, it just downloads everything you need and drops it in /tmp
try -U with multiple rpms ... now if it only installed right for me ... : )
should make you not hate rpms so much
don't get me wrong i don't like rpms either, but they're not so bad as you make them out to be. and yes i agree debian package system absolutely kicks

they worked in the cvs repo
Server: Netscape-Enterprise/3.6
looks like they are using the Netscape Enterprise server to me. I am not sure where you came up with them using apache.
I'm awfully sorry to build up the suspence like that just to have it all fall through, but the world did not end.
my most humble apologies
well we're already at 64bit with many chips, and even intel has it on their roadmap. actually intel has some in silicon now
