Let's stop giving any attention to this fool with ADHD. The huge amount of attention this idiot gets may be seen as some sort of validation of his claims by some.
If nothing else, the compulsory prefix will be a big help to spam-filters. Also, the omission of the prefix will be a good excuse for legal action against spammers, which is a good thing.
Maybe we should replace filesystems with presistent hashmaps that have O(1) lookup? This way, you can add any attribute to any object you like. See Python's hashmaps. So for/etc/passwd access, something like:
M$ will be beaten by its own game. Neil Stephenson, a true visionair IMHO, made an excellent analysis of the OS situation. Please read "In the beginning, there was the command line"
It sums up as: "But it is the fate of operating systems to become free."
This will end M$ windows domination as we know it.
I wonder. Would this kernel patch be any help to the xbox-linux development to get a better understanding of the nForce2 chip? Maybe xbox-linux will have accelerated 3d in the future?
Microsofts Seattlement is a farce. The way I understand it: the pay penalties in the form of donating WinPCs to poor schools? This increases the monopoly, not lessen it.
The future of video is digital. If you go all out on your setup, you do not want a superfluous digital -> analog and a analog -> digital conversion step. The MPEG2 stream is digital, your graphics card is digital, your TIVO is digital, the plasma screens are digital. Why no DVI input?
Let me clarify: you do not have to go through the trouble of installing linux. A modded xbox will do. There are more modded xbox owners who never used GNU/inux than there are xbox-linux users. The game is plug n play.
I must admit that I prefer GNU/linux over Microsoft, but tried to preserve ballance in the game.
I will see if I can get a counter screenshot up for you, this (European) evening.
No, it is not exclusively m$ bashing. This game is totally unbiased, as you can play both sides. There is no advantage in playing tux over playing clippy.
programmable shaders are *not* gaming features. on siggraph, people showed scientific flow computations on programmable pixelshaders. (also realtime raytracing on GPUs btw)
cg is widely applicable, and when it comes to scientific computing, linux is the norm, not windows.
It's easy, cg wins over ati, as nvidia has cg for linux. There is no rendermonkey for ati. I was at siggraph, and I was very impressed with ati's demo's. Now I am disapointed that ati does no linux.

The review site is unreachable, but thes /receiv ers/dvr/index.shtml
Dish Network DVR product line is here:

If I'm to believe the article, then all odds
are against a successful mission. Why not lower
the objectives a little, and pass on the landing
attempt?
The article makes it appear to be a doomed
mission.
Alternatively, you could get a cerfcube,
e /
which *does* run linux, and is smaller.
see:
http://www.intrinsyc.com/products/cerfcub
tcube site is slashdotted, but I suspect
that the cerfcube consumes less power as
well.

StrongARM has no FPU.
This means that it is of no use for scientific
computing.

UDMA? nah... probably DMCA

not make sense.

MO technology is obsolete.
However, USB 1.1 is even more obsolete.
This Fujitsu drive makes no sense, even if
it had sATA, firewire, scsi or USB2.0.
According to the CIA world fact book,
their international debt is:
$222.4 billion
What on earth gives them the right not to
pay back loans, but explore space programs
instead?
Ridiculous.

$222.4 billion
Hmmm...
Everything is relative I guess.
He claims space flight to be simple plumbing,
whereas doom with a crouch key is too difficult?

Maybe we should replace filesystems with /etc/passwd access, something like:
/bin:
presistent hashmaps that have O(1) lookup?
This way, you can add any attribute to any
object you like. See Python's hashmaps.
So for
passwdhash = disk0["passwords"]
roothash = passwdhash["root"]
rootshell = roothash["shell"]
rootgid = roothash["gid"]
For chown of
disk0["/bin"]["perms"] = 0755
To check for available attribs, do:
print disk0["/bin/"].keys()

I wouldn't buy a PS2 if I knew PS3 is coming soon.

Hmm,
I'm not impressed.
My own creation is a lot better:
full PAL resolution, full FPS, and
no fans whatsoever -> zero noise.

Read the press release on yahoo.
Sigma speaks of:
"free of charge"
and:
'open source'.
Only licensing it as GPL will set them 'FREE'.

Nice pun that RMS made:
"I respect their freedom of speech, but I also have the freedom not to give a speech."
And ofcourse, RMS is right.
