I heard in france they have/had something similar, which was a big success, as the france telekom gave the terminals you needed, before it was possible to use it with a PC, for free.
Yep, this was called "Mini-tel" and it was so cheap and easy to use that it kept most of the french peaple off using the internet for some years...
This is not a stable kernel, as there is no development tree to iron out all the bugs.
Thats the problem, after 2.4.0 was out, development should have been stopped and 2.5.0 should have been forked off for new features. If done like this, we would have 2.4.x with for example the old vm but vastly stable and a 2.5.x with a serios filesystem bug, but that would'nt be a problem since 2.5.x is a development three by number not by declaration.
I know it's hard to deny the guys shouting "Just these 20 more lines, and it will also walk the dog...", but maybe it'll be better for 2.6.0;-)
Well, some german once said "Mit verlaub Herr Präsident, Sie sind ein Arschloch." to the President of the german parliament and that didn't hit his carreer (he's currently forein minister of germany)
We're in a period of consolidation, now that the dot-com boom has collapsed. Our task as programmers over the next few years is to make all the stuff that sort of works now work 100%.
nah, leave that old stuff - I have a cool new idea...

Java IDEs?

Every version of JBuilder, I hope that it gets faster. It never did.
throw in at least 700Mhz and 512MB and it is indeed usable.
If you do GUI works you have to restart every 30-40 Minutes to keep its memomry footprint under 200MB, but you may need a coffee break anyway;-)
I dont know if it will ever be able to compile the linux kernel, but I used VectorC in one of my projects and it did improve the performance significantly without compiling the whole thing.
As it is a plain C and not a C++ compiler I needed to create wrappers for some cpu intensitive routines, compiled them with VectorC and gained a pretty good speedup.
Since asm coding is not my daily work it would have been taken significantly longer to write MMX routines by hand.
The vectorc version I used for this task was only 150 bucks and I easily saved me the equivalent of its price in working hours...
Holy frickin' crap! I've got whole computers that use less juice than that!
As said before, this is a server CPU, even IBMs Power4 sucks over 125Watts, but its small desktop brother has a low power consumption.
If there will ever be a ItanicIII CPU for desktops, I'm sure that it will be around 40-50 Watts and 1GHz (and Intel telling that GHz is not all, registers are;-)
I don't get it.. what's so difficult in deleting a few messages that you might not want to read ?
I would'nt care, but unfortunatly most spam arrives on adresses, which were intended to report customers trouble to me. Adresses used in RIPE/NIC/whatever Databases get constantly spamed, which makes them allmost unusable.
I do my best work when I've been drinking. Especially when it comes to computers.....:-)

I mean if the range is that small why not just plug the damn thing in and do it in 1/10 of the time?
;-)
No more unplugging/plugging and no "where's the damned cable?" anymore? And because it works
they can create theft if they buy this computer
Disney logic for dummies:
buying Macs creates theft
buying weapons creates murder
buying buying airplanes creates terrorists
etc..
Maybe he is finally realizing that Linux is not only "his toy" anymore...

no matter what happens to the kernel, it will always be his toy
but maybe people will fork of and start making there own toys, who knows

Whats he mean by "... and I agree with the way they are coded"? If it works and has nothing bad in it, why would he reject it?
If your variables aren't called "lpszFoo" or "dwBar", that shouldn't be a problem

Too bad I don't have a clue on how to go about writing modem drivers
A driver only wouldn't be a problem, but this time you have to code the modem aswell

And bringing up DOS, OS/2, or OpenVMS is not worth the trouble, as they only run on a single platform
btw: OpenVMS runs on the alpha
As a professional programmer I adhere to a strict stylesheet which I think the Open Source community may appreciate a copy of:

That's easy, just try a java app which uses JDesktop pane and JInternalFrame

straight translated it would be "karmahure", but I would rather say "karmaschlampe" or "karmaluder"
