Perhaps MS will soon start charging licenses for xtra players on their xbox over and above the cost of a new controller as its a way of more than one person to use that cheap PC.. err Xbox at a time.
Well funnily enough I know someone who succesfully compiled a 2.0 kernel using an intel compiler. Admittedly it was pretty bare bones but it still compiled. So , what was that you were saying?
Does anyone care? You might as well ask if it runs DECnet for all the relevance it really has (as opposed to what the MS marketdroids want you to believe)
If it wasn't for the virus propagation tool known as Outlook this virus and its ilk wouldn't even exist. Sure this guys being an idiot but we should focus on the REAL source of this sort of these viruses, ie the idiot marketdroids at MS who thought being able to run executables in email would be "kool". I'll admit though its hard to even blame MS for non viral spam:)
Dutch AFAIK is the closest language to english in the world. And I believe it. I've never learnt any dutch in my life and I reckon I can understand about 20% of whats written on that site.
As for why its not written in English , well why should it be? Its for dutch people. Why should it be written in english just so Billy Bob in HicksVille can understand it?
WTF are you talking about? The AM radio band in europe is full to bursting and here in London the MAJORITY of recent new stations have been AM because the license is far cheaper than FM or digital. And when you're listening to talk radio who really cares about high fidelity?

Really? That'll be why all TVs made in the world are NTSC , all those PAL TVs must be a myth. That'll be why FM radios in the states only tube to odd number frequencies whereas everywhere else they do all frequencies. That'll be why PLaystations in the US won't play EUropean discs. Shall I go on?

It won't be included in the processor. It'll be in an extra chip or in add on device firmware. How exactly would the processor know that a given bit of memory its accessing shouldn't be able to be copied to to another part or a device? Try using your brain before posting.

"Nicest dominant power" ? Hmm. Interesting. In all the centuries there has been no other power that almost wiped out the native peoples of its land and had a bounty on their heads. Ask the native americans how "nice" they think the USA is.

Don't be a dick. In the european systems the copy control simply won't be included since most PCs in europe are built in europe and most of the components come from the far east. Where does america fit into that equation?
I mean really , who gives a damn? Maybe AOL lusers have pissing contests about the best browsers but most linux users I know are more interested in other more technical matters rather than Best Browser.

So let the yanks shoot themselves in the foot. Makes life easier for those of us who don't live there. I do get annoyed when/. and most of the people on it seem to assume that just because a law is passed in the states it will affect the whole internet. Hello?? Wake up! Your countries laws have no jurisdiction elsewhere! We don't care what you do!
Got to admire they're marketing department , they've got the happy family, the single mother and the minority group in 3 pics. How all encompassing and worthy of them. Pity that most of their users will be teenage males who want to try yet-another-distribution before they get bored and go back to Suse/Slackware etc and this company goes bust.
It has not been fixed, I tested it on a 4.4 system last month and it died. And FYI floppies are not dead. Who cares whether you use them or not? The OS is for everyone , not just you pal.
Yeah , BSD is so stable and professionally maintained. That would be why the floppy disk kernel crash bug (a mounted floppy with corrupt sectors will crash the kernel when read from) STILL hasn't been fixed because apparently "no one wants to do it" presumably because its not bleeding edge and exciting. To be honest I find the attitude of the FreeBSD maintainers to fixing bugs in legacy code worrying and has led me to not move my systems from Linux to FreeBSD as I was considering doing a while back.
Lets face it , 2.4 has been botched from the start so having Marcello simply continues that trend. Frankly I hope Linus learns some lessons from all this and makes the 2.6 rollout a far more professional activity and hopefully then 2.4 can be buried and forgotten.
Is anyone going to really want to mess around with a project as large as this written in Perl. Sure it'll appeal to the dyed in the wool hackers but most people I know simply can't be bothered to wade through the heiroglyphic mess that is the Perl programming language. Given that the webs hack-it-up-in-5mins CGI days are over isn't it about time that "proper" programming languages (eg C++) were used for these sorts of large systems not some shell language on steroids?

the problem?
