IIRC, it runs as an idle process running at 100% CPU, not slowing anything special down. BUT that would mean my Pentium 4 would constantly sound like a jet plane, like it usually does when you run anything 90%+ CPU for an extended time period.:-(
They wish to achieve the ideals and goals of UnitedLinux and the Linux community without being part of UnitedLinux in its current form? Perhaps it's a statement to simply say "even if we back out now, our goals haven't changed, but we don't think the current form of UnitedLinux and cooperation with SCO etc will do any good"?

Kernel, GUI, screen saver, TCP/IP stack, web server, telnet client and web browser in 42 KB? Wow... I suppose the TCP/IP stack is based on his uIP code that's around 5 KB large, using 500 bytes of RAM. =) And I like how the GUI is skinnable. =)
Another cool part is of course that I've studied at the same university as him. hehe.. He was rather well-known there as a "decent" programmer. =) You know, those that writes a complex algorithm, compiles it once, and it works.

Just use the Star Trek planet classifications... Come on, it's time to make use of sci fi in astronomy for once.:-) Hmm, btw, I wonder what the heck the copyright at the top of the page is about? Courtesy JPL? Errr...
Wow, someone who actually have used X and noticed the copy & paste probs. After reading the replies, I see that Red Hat 8 might have fixed this problem somewhat (how and to what extent I don't know). But I fully agree with your remarks, and the several different clipboards illustrate the cons about the Linux mentality of standards which isn't always "less is more".
It's basically about removing sound stutters, jerkiness when moving windows and generally improving window manager performance...
This improves the X interactivity tremendously. I went back to 2.5.64 base just to verify, and the difference was very noticeable.
The test involved doing the big kernel compile while moving large xterm, mozilla and sylpheed windows about. With this patch the mouse cursor was sometimes a little jerky (0.1 seconds, perhaps) and mozilla redraws were maybe 0.5 seconds laggy.
So. A big thumbs up on that one. It appears to be approximately as successful as sched-2.5.64-a5.
Ingo's combo patch is better still - that is sched-2.5.64-a5 and your patch combined (yes?). The slight mouse jerkiness is gone and even when doing really silly things I cannot make it misbehave at all. I'd handwavingly describe both your patch and sched-2.5.64-a5 as 80% solutions, and the combo 95%.

This is great for me, too. I played around with some mp3 playing and did the akpm-window-wiggle test. It is definitely the smoothest.
Yes, it's indeed fixed as long as you use.NET assemblies. I guess Longhorn will be much more.NET-oriented than XP for example, since.NET was still a bit too new when XP was released. So I guess this is what might be happening:
Some time before XP is released, Microsoft claims that.NET will solve the DLL Hell in be included in coming versions of Windows. Microsoft think this of course need an announcement.
Visual Studio.NET is released, and Microsoft says programs developed for the.NET Framework will automatically avoid DLL Hell through "assemblies". Since everything since Windows 98 support the.NET Framework, the problems are solved in all these OS's as long as it's a.NET program. Microsoft think this of course need an announcement.
Some time before Longhorn is released (i.e. now), Microsoft says that it will solve these DLL conflicts in the OS itself, since Longhorn will be their first OS with good.NET integration out of the box. Microsoft think this of course need an announcement.
Well, better that an OS uses up the RAM than leaves it alone, don't you think? Even if it use RAM for caches, etc, that's still a better use than leaving it alone. Don't worry - XP will unload lots of unused stuff if it feel the need to do so. Operating Systems of today are smart enough to keep frequently accessed data in RAM and throw other stuff out, even XP.
Doesn't he realize that all that commented out HTML content are still sent to the Slashdot readers? He should have used a temporary page like this instead:
<html> <head><title></title></head> <body> Damn you Slashdot! </body> </html>
Actually, he just made it slightly worse by adding the comment marks and comment text.:-)
The commented out HTML will only serve to prevent revisits since there's nothing to see, but the browser cache will prevent it from downloading the site again anyway in these cases.
Age of Empires? Yes, it's nice and now several years old, not even close to what hit Starcraft or its expansion was for example. Warcraft III would sound more logical to me since it's more recent, but what do I know.:-) It just seemed strange to me that a single game, and that exact game, would increase the desire to make RTS games.
I just found it funny in a geeky sort of way how he enters commands at the prompt (last picture on the page) like "ls" in the wrong directory and "cd.." without a space. Then he seem to give up and just run Midnight Commander instead.:-)
Slashdot Mirror
Yes, but they're running it again in hopes that NASA has installed a new web server...
Just out of curiousity... What resolution was the original image?

Microsoft kills Neowin.net. Didn't we see this before? No, wait, it was the US government. But, really, what's the difference?

At least give us some examples to not look like a flamebait... What's harder to find in XP than in 2000 for example?
It isn't that long actually, but Michael's and Predator's banners suck. :-P
It's a review.
Hehe, point taken. :-)
Yeah, I actually think the spaceless "cd.." is the greatest invention of DOS. Everything else sucks. :-)

Thanks for settling that. :-) I'll try to avoid yodish soviet russian in the future though, just to be safe.
