Ah, and these days, no one is amazed by my 2048 Kbit ADSL line with 512Kbit upstream that I have at home....
I'm connected in my company+home through 128 Kbit and I'm HAPPY (I upgraded from 28.8 year ago). Most of ppl here in Czech republic cannot allow even that (only few lucky ones who has got cable)
Sorry, but I disagree. I don't know too much about font design, but as far as I know it's very complicated thing which needs lot of knowledge and practise. And also - designing font is not something that Joe The Guru will EVER do. So the tools are targeted to VERY limited group of user with very specific requests and features. So I think doing OSS for font desing is WASTE of time and I'd prefer to see some foundation for letting fonts designed.
Mod this guy up - I absolutely agree, except the advertising - it'll be frustrating to use in documents fonts named "John Smith, Company Ltd. - Times New Roman":-)
I think that PCs are opened Pandora box - if MS and AMD start producing Pd-only chips, there will always be Cyrix (or how's it called now) or anybody else... And don't be so USA-centric - USA are important market but if you compare it to EU+China....-)
I couldn't NOWHERE find one - the most - important thing - WHO&WHY is gonna buy Pd-PC? I couldn't think out any reason to buy such a crippled (and expensive probably also) computer except forcing it by very restrictive law.
...that in praxis it doesn't really matter if problem is P or NP when P is 100000000000000000*n while NP solution could be 0.00000000000001*(2^n) - the complexity class is nice thing but not all.
I absolutely agree that for future desktop system is this "must-have" (also for Linux!). BUT you should always be able to see what's going to be updated BEFORE it happens and/or disable/enable what kind of updates do you want (e.g. I want to update kernel security fixes but no newer versions of any service)
I agree - without these features I don't call MySQL database. I'm doing some SIMPLE intranetwork groupware (mainly managing information about companies, people and contacts) and some of my SQL queries are 4 lines long and has got 3 sub-selects (I use PostgreSQL and I'm VERY happy with it).
I remember in past some companies doing floppy-locks to prevent users (rather saying BFUs) to insert VARIOUS items into it:-) Don't know about something simillar for USB?.-)
This doesn't mean nothing. Were both machines connected to the same lan? Were both of them running same services? Were both IP's "published" the same way?

...is AMD going to rewrite Sysmark to favor AMD?

...and power cable can be much more cheaper and "hostile enviroment friendly" then fiber...
... if 'places of public performance' includes also street performances :)

That's the most funniest point of it all!

Hey - these were my words! :o)

IIRC Kasparov has got avalaible final version (and it's previous versions) for "testing" few weeks before the match.
You can even imagine, how reviewing/auditing code is sometimes difficult (at least as writing it).
And creating an AI - it's completely sci-fi. How you want to define what program like OpenSSH?
But this has got one small disadvantage - just like one way lock ;-)

None of USB nor AGP you need in enterprise area.
Bancropt MS - buy Xbox :-)
On a longer flights (10+ hours) you want the pilots not to eat, drink or go to the bathroom? This just isn't practical.
Why not have enough drinks and food in cabine allready?
aaargh - you have seen my top secret beta version of my graduate thesis?!?!
I agree BUT please - call this voluntary work, comunity service or anything BUT do NOT call it ART! Please!
... and I forget - have you ever has to remove Klez/Nimda/whatever from you Windows box? ;-)
