I briefly used Desqview X it for my old BBS back in the days I'm just 29, top that with disabling most of the video ram I had about 720KB of conventional memory for BBS Doors:-)
One thing people seem to forget is the GNU userspace is still being developed. If people cared, you'd find out that GNU sed and has new options to help people write better scripts. All the basic userspace commands we use in Linux (most of the GNU ones) are still being developed and enhanced.
I doubt many people even know about ftp://alpha.gnu.org where some of the REAL snapshots of the GNU userspace live (not all of them).
Thats why the GNU userspace is popular. Its not stagnating.
I remember using Solaris userspace commands, I prefer the GNU userspace.
No, Vista is NOT true multi-user. It looks that way, but its not. Until Microsoft rewrites the kernel to support multi-user, like UNIX/Linux it will never be true multi-user.
I want to start a movement to get funds for the research on this chemical/drug. I need help. I'd like to know what people think and if they want to help out how we should do it. I'm sure someone on here has/or is suffering from cancer or knows someone who has cancer.
Let's use our collective community to help rm -rf cancer!
I saw the show back in February while it was still 'beta'. They had a computer glitch kill the sound causing the performers to quickly scurry off the set while they corrected the bug during one of the fight scenes. It wasn't bad though the musical was quite long.
I've been using Xorg from CVS for a while. I must say, the r300 GL support is not bad at all. There is no hardware RENDER support yet but they'll get to that. Once that's done, things will really fly

Excuse me while I chuckle. Xorg and XFree86 aren't fighting anymore. For all intensive purposes XFree86 is dead the world has pretty much forgotten XFree86 and moved to Xorg - The home of the X Window System and X Window System specification -

Go look at freedesktop.org before you try to critize KDE and GNOME. You really don't know whats going on. Go look at whats in-store for KDE 4 and how GNOME and KDE are beginning to bridge the gaps (DCOP vs D-BUS). Go look at the Usability projects going on. Go look at whats in-store for Xorg and improvements to video drivers.
> The neverending foreverwar over what goes in the kernel
Sure, theres arguments but in the long run, this what Open Source is all about. I don't want crap added to the kernel if its not justified.
Whats really hurting the Desktop is vendors making it difficult to disclose information to write drivers. Legacy crud in X has problems and people are beginning to fix them. You certainly may not blame X for the problems either. 20 years of mostly neglected code doesn't help when your madly rushing to catch up to today's hardware and such. Instead of bitching I don't see you helping out.
It's 2:30am, and your post touched a nerve with me and that doesn't happen too often.
There is also a commercialized version of Rocks called Platform Rocks which is based on SDSC's Open Source release which provides enterprise support and provides other goodies. You can find it at http://www.platform.com/products/rocks/

I'm apparently on the drive-by list, but I'm not evil. Userspace is more fun.
It's simple, Flash the hard disk firmware and disable power management. I did this for my ThinkPad T42 disk and no more clicking.
It's the power management, the clicking is for the heads to idle while not in use.
If you accept that the junta are legitimate government, sure. But In my world, Myanmar is Burma until the PEOPLE of Burma decide otherwise.

Shame on Slashdot. How dare you take my posting and turn it into sensationalistic crap!
==> US government asks for comments on how Net is run Sunday July 02, @10:51PM Rejected
I really have to agree with many who have been on slashdot for so many years. This kind of crap degrades Slashdot's credability.

Yeah, Rocks is nice a Cluster In a Box(tm) just install and an instant cluster will appear :-)

There should be no problem with this as long as they're following the proper licensing for all the code they distribute.
It won't matter anyway to the Debian groups.
Xorg needs your help. Be it coding, documentation. Please help out and Hop on irc.freenode.net #xorg-devel if you want to help
:)
Things to help with:
Documentation - Doxygenifying the Xlibs, Xserver sources.
And other things
It's pretty interesting to read. A lot of files are mentioned in the settlement.
You can get a driver to manipulate the chip in Linux, perhaps this can be useful for SSL encryption on-board?

(3) Part VII of the Act does not apply to,

Exemptions from Part VIII of Act
8. Part VIII of the Act does not apply to,

Read the act, it says it all there
You can find it here:
Exceptions for IT Professionals in Ontario
It happened in Ontario in 2002, they took away IT professionals ability to get overtime and other exceptions and nobody seemed to have cared :(
If anyone is in Ontario, is a geek, and in IT we must repeal the 2002 regulations putting IT into slave labour jobs!
Isn't that what alpha.gnu.org is for? ;)
er, not parser but analyser
One problem, the flex name is already used in the lex parser.

I dont know if this will confuse people but flex has been around a lot longer
