Re:gcc 3.3 fails on glibc 2.3.2

GCC 3.3 Released
·
· Score: 1
The Linux kernel uses virtually every feature of gcc there is, that's why it's the traditional stress test. There will always be little inconsistencies and changes in how the compiler behaves, but because the kernel uses a lot of unusual features it's much more likely to be affected than a user-mode program.
As far as I know, the currently recommended compiler for building the kernel is 2.95.3. Using the 3.x releases is dodgy at best, and there was never really any chance that 3.3 would work straight away.
I don't think there would be much point, the realvideo is low quality enough already (it's fairly hard to make out the words on the screen), and any reencoding could only degrade it further.
Linux by default isn't MEANT to be a print server. The problem isn't Linux printing, the problem is people like you who try to use a wrench to nail in a hammer.
I'd be interested to know what you think "Linux by default" is meant to be. I thought it was meant to be a general purpose operating system.
2) She says she has problems that are absolutely absurd. For instance, "Root gets locked out of files". If this is occuring, then Linux has some serious security problems...
I imagine that this comes from an over-clever programmer assuming that permissions being denied is the only reason why a particular operation could fail, and displaying a message to that effect irrespective of the actual error. A misleading error message can be worse than no message at all.
"Property rights derive from physical truths"? That's the first time I've ever heard that one. Property rights aren't a natural law; there is nothing about an object that makes it anyone's property. If anything, property rights originally derived from "this is my pointy stick, so this is my land/gold/wife".
(c) "Telecommunications" means the origination, emission, transmission, or reception of data, images, signals, sounds, or other intelligence or equivalence of intelligence of any nature over any communications system by any method, including, but not limited to, electronic, magnetic, optical, digital, or analog.
...
(e) "Telecommunications device" means any instrument, equipment, machine, or device that facilitates telecommunications. Telecommunications device includes, but is not limited to, a computer, computer chip or circuit, telephone, cellular telephone, pager, personal communications device, transponder, receiver, radio, modem, or device that enables use of a modem.
(f) "Telecommunications service" means providing, allowing, facilitating, or generating any form of telecommunications through the use of telecommunications devices or telecommunications access devices over a telecommunications system.
That sounds pretty broad to me.
"Telecommunications" = any kind of real-time communications whatsoever.
"Telecommunications device" = anything that communicates in real-time
"Telecommunications service" would thus seem to apply to anyone involved in real-time communication, whether they were in a client or server position.
I think the average person with a kiddie porn fetish would just go to a european porn site and pay for a membership,why? because its legal to view that stuff in europe and the chance of them getting caught is alot lower.
I don't know where the hell people are getting these ideas from. The age limits for porn subjects may be 16 or even slightly lower in some countries, but that isn't "child porn" in the way most people understand it. Actual child porn is just as illegal as it is in the US, and very aggressively prosecuted.
Basic UK ADSL is 512/256, basic cable is 512/128. Both can go to 1024 or 2048 downstream if you're willing to pay
BT is required by competition law to keep the consumer and wholesale parts of its business separate, so you can't really buy "direct from BT" unless you're an ISP. And BT's own ADSL offering is pretty poor.
30 pounds/month is pretty much the upper limit for ADSL. My own provider freedom2surf costs 22.50, and is fast, reliable and totally unrestricted.
How does anyone with any functioning brain cells come up with this? The VCR is the sine qua non of the immensely profitable home video industry. Many modern films don't even become profitable until they are released on video, and yet, he ignores the giant profits the video industry has created for him and his cronies while harping on a few dollars they don't get.
VCR == Video Cassette Recorder. Valenti was not, in the 80s, arguing against devices with the ability to _play_ videos, only the ability to record from television or from other videos. Consider the difference between a home DVD player and a DVD copier.
How the heck do you mistype an ASCII URL so you get non-ASCII characters? Do you have some kind of funky keyboard that produces non-ASCII characters? I'd love to see such a fucked up keyboard. Geez, if you want to use non-standard keyboard setups or weird ass keyboards then deal with it. For those of us with standard ASCII keyboards there IS NO PROBLEM. You'd have to go out of your way to type these characters.
Everything you say is correct. But bear in mind that most small-scale, non-commercial copying of films is not done on DVDs, as DVD writers are expensive and there are several incompatible writing methods. Instead, people swap movies in the form of CDROM-sized AVIs compressed using divx. To create such a file from a DVD would require DeCSS or equivalent.
If your friend's computer is having trouble telling between 1s and 0s after transmitting them over his cable, then maybe he should replace the piece of string between two tin cans with, I dunno, something made of copper?
What does being British have to do with not being a musician?
As it happens I'm a musician as well, but for me the default pronunciation of the '#' symbol is "hash", unless the context implies it to mean either "number" or "sharp". As you might expect, music was far from my mind while reading about a new programming language from Microsoft.
In August, she heard through a contact at a technology firm about the kind of high-quality list spammers dream of: A database of 16 million addresses, gathered legitimately and held by a high-tech company that she won't name.
That would be Microsoft's list of all Hotmail addresses, then...
The big hint about who's to blame for problems playing any QuickTime movie encoded with the Sorenson codec is hidden somewhere in the name of the codec.
This is a common misconception. Sorenson invented the codec and holds the patent, but they have exclusively licensed it to Apple, a licence which Apple aggressively protects. Search the archives for the story of Apple taking legal action against Sorenson for licensing it to Macromedia for use in Flash, for example.
Any use of the codec outside Apple products would require the agreement of both Apple and Sorenson. This seems unlikely to happen.
Hello! We have been informed by our lawyers that we need to attach some sort of warning to this financial statemtent. So here you are: If you are under 18, are not an employee of Intentia, or are working for a major international news organization, please don't read it. Thanks!
The World Trade Organization, at its meeting last November in Doha, Qatar, issued a declaration that public health matters must be weighed equally with intellectual property rights.
That the lives of millions of people are viewed as having equal value to the profits of a handful of large corporations is a terrible thing, and the fact that the article actually says this as if it was a positive development is even more disturbing.

In that case your connection will just about always be saturated, and you'll get no benefit from `pipelining', which works by downloading several files at a time. It's only useful if you usually have some unused bandwidth.
