The PostgeSQL backend works smoothly, and fits in with other services and backups. It is a simple table though and does not take any advantage of the relational capabilty.
Previous revisions of Flash Player for Linux preformed very poorly compared to the win32 versions (even the win32 verison in crossover office did a better job).
I think that it has something to do with the win32 version using SSE instructions and Linux version did not.
Flash still does not take advantage of the GPUs available for the last 10 years! Anyone trying to use Flash for more than a postage stamp size output feels this pain. The evolution from something designed to make small animated buttons and advertising is evident.
Poor performance and the new licensing may mean limited uptake for embedded applications.
The primary answer only holds for and OS that is completely 64-bit with applications too. The extended registers allow a performance boost on the same hardware in the 5 to 15% range. That said, win64 is a curiosity and source of driver annoyance at this time.
MacOS was limited to 31 character names, so you're misremembering things.
Technically incorrect: Mac filenames could be 255 chars, but at some revision of Finder (forget which), they limited things to 31 characters as a practical limit. The underlying system remained capable.
Funny, I recall dealing with networked Macintosh worm/virus in '86 on appletalk (something that inserted itself in the window frame rendering callback and another CODE resource virus) - and there were already virus scanners and defenses being developed - and WMF is conceptually like the Mac PICT format, so not completely clear of the networking age.
Why not revive the Tiger Learning Computer and add a little color LCD monitor... couldnt be much different in price and has plenty of software:) It was an all in one solid state implementation of the Apple//c http://www.apple2clones.com/?q=image/tid/165
Although it was a big pig at the time - almost a whole 800Mb floppy - Fullwright Professional was my favorite of the era. It's outliner alone is a good reason to keep the (now gratis) version loaded.
I would think that is because the benchmark was not multi-threaded. A dual proc machine is only twice as fast if the application splits the workload. I believe most apps run mostly on a single CPU at a time.
Mandrake's urpmi system and rpmdrake take most of the dependancy horror out of a basic system setup (especially for new users), while allowing system a audit of system files that is near imposible on other systems.
The contributions of the Mandrake club packagers and community support have made it a joy for me.
try this with an rpm based system -
# find files in/usr that do not belong to a package. find/usr -exec rpm -Vf {} \; | grep owned
#look for '5' in second column for files which are different than installed. rpm -Va
IBM once thought of the personal computer as just a smarter/more configurable terminal. In hindsight they were badly mistaken. X11 and vnc type solutions answer only a few users needs,
There is a place for centralization of data, but it is far more likely that with the prolifieration of always-on and broadband type connections that people will user their home desktop as a personal server and repository.
Distributed solutions if this type are begging for software which is easy to configure and maintain, and probides security while possibly providing signed authentication. This keeps keeps personal data at home, which makes most people more comfortable.
If I remember correctly, the reiserfs system is designed to be extensible via plugin modules, and could possibly add this type of metadata and even file specific database stuff (like artist and preferred playback volume for an mp3) that could then be searchable via file utilities.
This Lbox (if you will) system uses a standard linux distro, tweaked in setup to be robust in standalone and power-out situations. The games run only on our hardware. Broadband support is no problem because of linux itself (dialup is more trouble, but a LCD.) Realize this is an introduction offering of a flexible platform, produced in months instead of years due to the power of the underlying system. The games are aimed at an audience which is probably much different than that of slashdot.

whoops, typed too fast.

with some clever use of prune, you can hunt down anything that does not belong on your box.
Probably a troll feeding, but -

I believe that both everybuddy and it's fork - AYTTM have had this for a long time.
Check out MrProject... It is on the 9.1 disks, althought it might not yet be up to prime time standards (e.g. it just recently got printing support).
