Word is almost half as good as emacs (well, it's not perfect, while emacs only lacks multithreading and per-buffer pixmap backgrounds), which puts it far ahead of everything else out there. (after all, what is a post without a bit of polemic?)
*re-reads*. *re-reads again*.Are you comparing a text editor with a word processor??. Are you really doing that?.
I'm really getting tired of all the morons here who think they are computer scientists just because they have some idea on how to click windows at the super-mega-extra-cool win2k, or just because the know how to do that-nifty-thing on the word processor.
Go out and learn something, and now stop pretending that you really now something about computers
Model: Dell Inspiron 4000. 256 MB RAM. 10 GB HD. 700-850 MHZ PIII. Some winmodem I really don't care about it.14" TFT screen Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 Potato as the only OS
the internal modem: I was told from
a friend that its possible to use some linux winmodem drivers to use it. No personal experiences
the internal sound hardware. No problem at all. ESS Maestro 3 support in 2.2.19
the internal 10/100MHz ethernet interface:Comes without it, but having no problems using my 10 Mbps/Modem/Fax PCMCIA, and my wireless PCMCIA
Because HTML is not a programming language. HTML does not allow things like loops,
variables, test conditions, etc...It's just a
way to represent the information - a format. I wouldn't call HTML a language
JS on the other side, hasn't an easy way to access
sensitive data or create malicious code. As someone noted before, you can redirect the user
to a porn site or something, but its rather dificult (I'm not a JS programmer, just done a couple of hacks with it) to access to sensitive
information, such as the hard drive
GNU MP is a library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, operating on signed integers, rational numbers, and floating point numbers. It has a rich set of functions, and the functions have a regular interface.

Well if you consider that everything with a CPU and some memory is a computer, so be it, but so is my washing machine and the remote control of my TV.
Well, I do. But I do not agree. More probably, your washing machine has a microcontroler
not a CPU. And your remote control probably is
just an integrated circuit. Not a computer. A
console is more an specialized computer than
a microcontroler or just an integrated circuit.
And for the operating system thing, it really
depends of the use of the computer
A computer is a machine capable of fetching
(simple) instructions from an storage media and execute them, updating its internal state
(conceptually is like a finite automata)
You are mixing the concept of Computer with
the concept of Personal computer
...has been discovered that not all all of the countries have an stablished democracy
Come on people, China, Afghanistan, North Korea, etc..., they all have dictators ruling there. Probably (and sadly) closing cybercafes is not the worst thing that can happen there (massive executions in China anyone?, hunger in north Korea?). I know that this is Internet related news, but knowing whats happening in that countries, where some people doesn't have enough even to eat, seems a bit frivolous to me
If the machine you are sending mail doesn't resolve on the internet, you'll have problems with some mail servers
Also, I you CC a lot you'll be wasting bandwitch since your mail server has to connect to all the people who you send the mail
What I do is use a system on my network acting as
smtp server of my home net. This server uses my isp mail server as a smarthost. It's almost as fast as using localhost as smtp server, and you save bandwith
I guess they are oriented to High Performance Computing. From the website:
The briQ is a small footprint, single board, PowerPC Linux network appliance computer that can be used alone or within a cluster. The same form-factor as a CD-ROM drive, the briQ provides an advanced, energy efficient and affordable networking solution for high performance computing. The briQ requires less power and produces less heat than any other network appliance computer in its class at just 20-40 watts per node.
I agree, too much $$$ when for the same price you can affor 2 or even 3 beowulf nodes
Please, Please, Please. Read my post about the funny thing before commenting. I didn't enccounter funny other's ignorance.I'm not such kind of person. The site Is now slashdoted
but in a few hours I will have access to it
and copy-paste the exact parts of the users
that make me think it was funny: Was the situation, the clueless the users seem to be in the gnome environment, not the ignorance itself
wop!. I'm who submitted the news, and who said that the quotes were funny. Well, my submision was slightly modified by the slashdot trained
squirrels, and all of you missinterpreted me. The quotes that I found funny (no sarcasm or
negative thinking here) was...wop!, well the site is slashdoted but the quotes said something
like:
quote #1: "What is this icon for?"
quote #2: "I don't know what terminal emulation means"
quote #3: "What the hell emulation means?"
Well, indeed Math has changed the last 100 years. For example, some of the most important theorems for primarity (testing if a
number is prime-->encryption, RSA, ssl, etc etc etc) came from the XIX and XX century. Just an example.

Mod this as a flamebait, because thats what it is
I was arguing that HTML is not a language in the programming language sense
Wasn't that funny or what?

That way everyone's happy.
errr, except the people who use I2 for useful things like research, right?

For what I know, you must have XFree 4.x which supports xinerama extensions
They can't patent a concept, like data downloading, can they?. It's like someone patenting drinking or eating

BAD.
I hope that you have a good backup system. Raid0 (stripping) makes nearly impossible recovery afer a disk failure.
Oh wait, Niagra
yeah, yeah, its like it has been made by a machine or something....
duh!

Anyone here knows if blender was actually used for some serious work like a movie or special fx? No sarcasm here, I'm just curious
