gcc for Linux has those -i486, 586 and 686 flags, but no -amd flag
You're not using gcc-3.2, are you?
gcc-3.2 has both -mcpu=athlon and -march=athlon flags.
Yeah, gcc-2.95 won't optimize for athlon, but the only excuse for using an outdated compiler like that is if you're a debian user, in which case you don't give a shit about keeping up with the joneses, anyway.
with that attitude they never will. you know why alot of people dont use linux? because there most people dont use linux. the follow the hurd justification is kind of a self defeating argument.
I highly doubt that many people aren't using linux because they're following the Hurd.
It is official. VNUnet confirms: UnitedLinux is dying.
Another more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered UnitedLinux community when IDC confirmed that UnitedLinux market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that UnitedLinux has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. UnitedLinux is collapsing in complete disarray.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict UnitedLinu's future. The hand writing is on the wall: UnitedLinux faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for UnitedLinux because UnitedLinux is dying. Things are looking very bad for UnitedLinux. As many of us are already aware, UnitedLinux continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
SuSE is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. As a matter of fact no one knows who SuSE's core developers are; they lack celebrities like Mandrake's Chmouel Boudjnah and Red Hat's Alan Cox.
There can no longer be any doubt: SuSE is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
SCO leader Ransom states that there are 7000 users of SCO. How many users of TurboLinux are there? Let's see. The number of SCO versus TurboLinux posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 TurboLinux users. Conectiva posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of TurboLinux posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of Conectiva. A recent article put SuSE at about 80 percent of the UnitedLinux market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 SuSE users. This is consistent with the number of SuSE Usenet posts.
Due to financial troubles, abysmal sales, and so on, TurboLinux left the Linux business. Now their distribution has been turned over to another charnel house.
UnitedLinux is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If UnitedLinux is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. UnitedLinux continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, UnitedLinux is dead.
With no intellectual property laws, the GPL is invalid. This means that I am free to take Linux (or any other GPL code) and close the source, or insert backdoors, or do other mischievous things.
"
The simplest way to make a program free is to put it in the public domain (18k characters), uncopyrighted. This allows people to share the program and their improvements, if they are so minded. But it also allows uncooperative people to convert the program into proprietary software (18k characters). They can make changes, many or few, and distribute the result as a proprietary product. People who receive the program in that modified form do not have the freedom that the original author gave them; the middleman has stripped it away." -- Free Software Foundation
That's the thing. IRC warezing won't die. FTP/HTTP warezing won't die. But there's no effective way to do a massive search of those media. In essence, the volume of trading will go down if KaZaa and friends are sufficiently poisoned. The RIAA will tolerate a small amount of piracy, especially by the technically literate, because it's too expensive to go after them. When the system becomes larger and more widespread, allowing anybody who can type and click a moust to get the files, the RIAA will swoop in.
Well, since it's written in C++, Linus will refuse to accept it in the kernel. I guess since he's not smart enough to figure out how to write kernel-friendly C++ code, no one else is allowed to figure it out either.
Just because the current implementation is in C++ doesn't mean that the only implementation is in C++. Assuming that there's some way to define inodes for this fs, writing an FS driver wouldn't be too difficult.
The tougher issue is the database aspect of this fs, as it can't be hacked into the current VFS system. The best thing I can think of is exporting a few API hooks with some userspace components to allow for this. The userspace part could be done, of course, in C++.
It's closer to Slash than Scoop, in that it's additive, categorized comment rating. The main difference with respect to Slash, and what places it closer to Scoop, is the lack of a limit on what the composite rating can be. In short, there's no cap on the total rating a post can have.
The reason for this is that I'm not sure Slashdot's moderation system is scaling to the size of the population. This is partially because of the -1 to 5 comment score range. All that's really required for a comment to hit 5 is for 4 more people to like it than to dislike it.. As the moderator population grows, the proportion that is needed to move something to 5 (or to -1) shrinks. The Slash writers have realized this, I think, and their response seems to be to reduce the moderator pool (although their latest tack of seemingly abandoning the moderation system is very interesting. I agree with sllort in that it seems that they're moving towards a greater use of the Friend/Foe system). That causes it's own problems (namely that gems are less likely to rise).
You said "By definition, every copyright infringement is a contract violation." But this is not true. It is only a contract violation if I agree to the contract. Alternatively stated, "It's not a contractual agreement if I don't have a choice whether or not to agree to it."
And how does this differ from a normal copyright agreement (other than it grants you a right to redistribute, provided you meet certain preconditions).
The plain and simple fact is that the GPL is not exceptionally different from any other copyright license.

Precisely zero. When Opera for Linux spoofs IE, it spoofs as:
[Your kernel version will vary....]
So that will be identified as an IE, Linux, and Opera visit.

True... the BBC is being led around by the nose by the British government.
If only... if only...
After all, *BSD is dying!
Why the fuck would you want to visit Nashville? The only way I'd go is if Shania Twain was guaranteed to sleep with me on my first night there.
Manual search and replace all the way, it generates much better results, since connecting text can be adjusted.
That's kind of the point....
I'll admit that I wasn't the first to see that old saw's possibilities...
A hippie miracle is when one takes a bath with soap.
You beat me to it...
If only I wasn't jacking off to this.
Damn you autopr0n... damn you!
I highly doubt, reatard, that dictionary.com would misspell concerned...

Now there's a convention that any city would be proud to host. At least we could be sure that CmdrTaco would show up!
Was it smelly?
Only if you're downloading it to "preview" it or because none of the stores un your area carry it.
In Microserts, one of the hackers whipped up a script that do just that.

Look at who posted what you're quoting.
