That only works if you have multiple resolutions defined.
I personally only define the one resolution that I generally use due to X automatically changing the virtual desktop space to the higest of the defined resolutions.
If I want to change my resolution, I think that the desktop area should be changed right along with it. I know not everyone would want this, but it should at least be an option!
I believe it was a month ago that it was announced that plex86 could run dos. Didn't exactly take very long to move up to 95.
This program dosen't replace windows, it basically makes a virtual machine that the OS can boot into. This means it shouldn't be incrediably hard to make 98/ME/Win2k boot into it. I wouldn't be surprised to see this announced within months.
Besides, this is more of a replacement for VMware. Basically being able to run some windows apps without booting into windows.
I run linux almost exclusively. Sometimes people send me word docs, and it would be nice to be able to open them in word running in windows without a second machine, or requiring a reboot.
As for running windows games, Wine is a better hope for this. I personally prefer supporting game vendors that actually support linux.
A lot of OEMs will include a bunch of random software they developed to "help" the operating system. Things like a resolution changer in the system tray, or awnsering machine software that starts on bootup.
Why aren't OpenBSD and FreeBSD affected? The article didn't.
Someone earlier mentioned that the BSD ftp server was vunerable to this (when anonymous was enabled). Wouldn't this mean they would be affected? or is it only when the ftp server runs under one of the affected os's?
There are some original content peices, but most of the articles are links to other sources. Sometimes websites that belong to people, but quite often it's new sites.
When I do webpage creation, Opera's the ideal test browser: it renders *to spec* much more thoroughly than any other browser. The developers are extremely intent on creating compliancy with HTML 4, CSS 1 and 2, WAP and supporting XML with CSS. Opera is the standard by which all other render engines can be compared.
If opera is the only browser that renders your code correctly, what good is designing for it?
They don't let their children read Harry Potter either, but that dosen't stop a large number of them from trying to make sure no one else's children can read them.
You can fork the kernel all you'd like, but Linus has final say on what goes into the official release of the kernel.
Say you do fork the kernel... The only person using it will be you, unless you come up with some dandy features that will wow the rest of the linux community.
Only thing is, it's a bit of a catch 22. Your changes are GPLed as well due to the way the GPL works. If the features are so good that you can pull the linux community from the official release of the kernel, you can bet your ass the changes will be migrated into the official version.

It really depends on how they're doing this.
If they reimplement the same ideas, then it is ok (in theory).
If they port the code, it is not ok.
As far as I can tell, the Linux version dosen't require the CD in the drive anyways. But for windows, that's certainly a pain.

Well, wouldn't that mean you could ONLY use word? At least use a small program that can launch other things. like say.... command.com :)
Or better yet. Use MacOS X
It's unix on the inside, and soft chewy gui on the outside.
mmm.....

This list is almost always out of date, by definition, since kernel development moves so quickly.
That could explain at least part of it.
Or maybe as other people pointed out, it's already been released.
Dosen't seem much like vapor to me.
Or maybe i should just look for actual site names instead of relying on previous posts.
thetruth.com is fine
Speaking of truth.org...
I just went to their site, and they appear to have been hacked:)
I could be wrong, but I believe that's how google works.
If other places have connections within 10 miles, obviously someone nears to be near those cables.
I ran NT 4.0 on a Pentium 75 with 8MB of ram once.. Talk about slow.
:)
I dont' even think it would install on a machine like that. I installed it with 64MB of ram, and then removed some of the chips
I don't know who's funnier, the guy who posted this, or the moderator.
:P
Insightful? That's more of a shot to the nuts for americans than the post was!
I tend to agree, as long as you mean the official gnome release. Helix gnome is rather clean, and well done.
I think he was talking software, not hardware.

That would be Nightvision by Cadillac.
Yes.

So that's what preview is for.
That should have been 0!<0
nothing.
Kind of like the cost of freebsd.

Linux was used for rendering 3-D for the movie titanic, and most likely in other movies.
I wonder if Hollywood realises that they're accessories after the fact.
