Exactly, all the people who don't undestand how computes work want an OSX'ish sort of system. MS is going to have it in longhorn. Problem is, we have all these damned naysayers quashing the idea because they don't see a need for a 3d-accelerated desktop because their Xterm under sawfish looks just fine. Of course, instead of getting a head start on developing those features, we're gonna be behind by a good couple years. So, when Joe Computer sees all the nifty little graphical effects that OSX and Longhorn have, they'll look at Linux and say, "That looks crappy".
IANAESA(I am not an email systems administrator) but,
I would think it would be unworkable due to how sending and receieveing mail servers are set up. Most receieving mail servers have oodles have harddisk space to burn on holding messges. Sending servers are usually fewer in number and don't have a lot of harddrive space because they don't have to hold that many messages at a time.

I'm not really sure where to look for the answer to this, but I'll give it a shot. To me, it seems like a lot of migration worries stem from the fact that the IPv4 and IPv6 address spaces are different. Wouldn't having a system where a subblock of 4billion ipv6 addresses mapped directly to the same 4billion ipv4 addresses help people migrate toward IPv6? That way, in the transitional period between v4 and v6, if I try to connect to a ipv6 address that maps to an ipv4 address, a smart networking stack would be able to retry the connection using v4 if the v6 address doesn't respond.
Because: a) People goto vending machines _far_ fewer times then they'll click an article.
b) Most people don't hang out at vending machines trying something new without reason. A lot of people hang out at websites and do the exact opposite.
To me, if i have 50 cents in my pocket and i'm hungry, I'll eat that nice twix sitting in box B3. There's not much thought that goes into it and I'll only make that descision once or twice a week. However, deciding whether or not I want to fork over 10 cents or a dollar or whatever a particular website is charging to read an article I think may be neat would be annoying since I would do it so much and each time would involve a judgement call.
However the more logical place for this would be in the kernel so that all applications can access the remote filesystem uniformly. The bulk of the implementation does not have to always be in the kernel, but this functionality should be available from the kernel's open, close, read, write, readdir and stat syscalls. I may be interpreting this post http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=107359899 930412&w=2 but, it seems like fuse_kio does just that.
First, like I said, I was quoting Bill G. (granted, he had an interest in saying that IE was irremovable)
Secondly, the HTML rendering libraries are the crux of a horrible security hole waiting to happen. The HTML control is used everywhere, the way that it determines whether or not content should be trusted is broken ('the zones'). Secondly, there arent enough sanity checks and the control has access to the meat of the OS, which is why an email can bring the whole system down.
IE is a part of the OS. At least that's what Bill Gates has said during his testimony.
Another example would be ActiveX. ActiveX was created because MS developers didnt like how Java was in a sandbox and made them jump through hoops to do certain things.
Many dual-cpu boards tie all the memory to one cpu, slowing down the other one.
There are a few boards like that, but certainly not a majority. The difference is very small however, considering that there is just one extra hop across a HT link to the processor with memory. (The memory controllers are directly connected to HT links which minimises latency)
Various versions of the AMD64 architecture are unreasonably expensive.
True, some versions are expensive, but your talking about a technology that's been released for approximately 3 months now. Give it time and prices on the high end stuff will go down. That said, you can get a single proc A64 system for fairly cheap.
I've heard rumors of Linux incompatibility with various boards and bioses.
Rumors...you're giving people advice on whether or not people should purchase a particular architechture on rumors? What's the severity of the problems?
AMD is also in the act of outsourcing it's IT staff to India. While Intel undoubtedly does the same, AMD's action is more recent and this sort of thing shouldn't be rewarded.
I agree
AMD's planning with Microsoft Win64 release was also obviously lackluster if Intel was able to delay it.
That's a whole ton of speculation. There's any number of reasons that release was delayed. MS could be having trouble porting the legacy code over, Intel could have negociated(sp?) hard(keep in mind who has the much larger market share), MS could have wanted to wait for marketing reasons...who knows? It's silly to blame AMD for it though.
By the same token, since the UK invented the (modern) postal service, they don't have to follow the same rules as everyone else. Every other country in the world must put it's country name on the stamps they issue(I even think it has to be the english name) whereas the UK doesnt. Just like I dont complain about their non-country-stampage, other countries shouldn't complain about our ip address allocation systems(which is the largest complaint I've seen so far)
Wait, I'm confused. Are you saying that if I hash the same data twice, I won't necessarily get the same hash. Or do you mean that there isnt a unique password for every hash, which would make more sense.
There is not improvement, nvidia still doesn't support linux. All they did is shut up some of the kiddies that think linux support means being able to play quake3 on their x86 box with a standard kernel.
Look, I understand that you don't find playing games under linux to be important, but to say that playing games on x86's running standard kernels is unimportant because they won't release the source to support linux is assinine. I've read your posts and it appears that you are passionate about seing linux flourish. Linux cannot flourish without decent hardware support, and like it or not companies are not able to provide all of their source. With current graphics cards being so programmable, I wouldn't be suprised if they had a sizeable portion of their cores run in software.
To me, the benefits of having great 3d support far outway the ability to read the sourcecode. To you, it's the other way around. Let everyone make their own choices. Having anyone declare that it should be verboten to allow hardware with proprietary technology to exist under linux would do far more harm than good(in effect, that's what a ban on binary modules would do, unless an alternative method was found).
I had my debit card # stolen and a couple hundred dollars were paid for an online porn site. All those charges bounced the checking account it was attatched to, and when the letter came in the mail, I called my bank and the company the charges were to. I got both the money and the overdraft fees back.
Or look at switzerland(I know the spelling is wrong, but i had a long night.) or certain small towns in the US where people are required to have guns, with the same effect.
Shit, on top of that, i drove an 88 honda accord that had a 2 barrel carburator(granted, it got 35mpg, but that's besides the point). I remember talking to a friend of mine with a car made in the 90's that was carburated.
You could also look at the Vserver package some people are working on. It's a kernel patch which achieves many things BSD jail achieves. And, it's under pretty active development
I was wondering if people had suggestions for a mud client that could be modified to have a Equipment Database. The mud I play on (hexonyx.com:7777) involves swapping EQ in and out, and the current client I have doesn't have a built in way to modify it, or a way to script it.

Depending on how long ago it was, there might not have been VCRs around.
I do, but that's mainly due to my stupidity. I couldn't for the life of me, figure out what the difference was supposed to be...

Let's just review a few facts:
Lets.

Well with the push towards 3D composited desktops, I imagine that a lot of people will.
(yes, yes, there's gonna be people that will swear to staying with their icewm desktop, but there are tons of people who love the pretty eye candy)

Did the borgs not have a borg cube instead of a sphere?
Maybe the sphere was the beta version...
and hassle foreigners to make sure they enter the country legally.
Yeah, damn the fbi and their enforcing the laws we have!
You could also look at the Vserver package some people are working on. It's a kernel patch which achieves many things BSD jail achieves. And, it's under pretty active development
They didnt say that "Cannot find server or DNS Error" was a server generated page.
2. That Site Finder pages are larger than ordinary error messages and therefore slower and more costly to transmit
They did say that there was a message returned though, impying a dns error message.
I was wondering if people had suggestions for a mud client that could be modified to have a Equipment Database. The mud I play on (hexonyx.com:7777) involves swapping EQ in and out, and the current client I have doesn't have a built in way to modify it, or a way to script it.
any suggestions?
