There was a longer article in the infamous German c't magazin about it, sorry but that article is not online. The main idea is to let different (very small) sections of the chip work at the speed they want to and provide several join points. The problem is that all sections have to provide a signal about the processing state, which makes an extended NAND take more components. So the size of the new chips is hard to predict, as the small units provide the syncronisation themselves, which makes them bigger, but also makes external syncronization components obsolete.
The new smaller parts of the chip can go faster, as the ways are shorter, but the joining points have to be synconized in way that make the speed advantage in the sections not vanish.
But the compilers are getting better and better, and as soon as gcc3.0 is out you can start making free sofware and use the full set of capabilities of C++. That offers so many new design aspects.
Where are you living? Such a huge piece of code can only be more stable and faster with a complete redesign and rewrite, taking all the mistakes into account that were made so far.
I have problems with software that is bloated and creeping without having reached version 1.0.
I don't say they are incompetent, I just say they are unable to make a cut.
11.2. GLX
The GLX 1.3 API is exported but none of the new 1.3 functions are operational.
The new glXGetProcAddressARB function is fully supported.
GLXPixmap rendering is only supported for indirect rendering contexts. This is a common OpenGL limitation. Attempting to use a direct rendering context with a GLXPixmap will result in an X protocol error.
p>
From the XFree86 Documentation The DRI is to circumvent the X protocol for higher performance and glx does the same up to an certain degree.
It would need changes to the X well defined X-protocol to implement this. And I'm not that firm with this, but I think the X-protocol opcode has only 8bit. A 3D implementation definitely will need more operations.
You need a fitting kernel module for your xserver driver, so it will be hard to export DISPLAY to another xserver. With 3D applications as Q3 this is not that important as only few people would like to redirect the screen with all implied fps hit. But being able to export DISPLAY is one of the best and most integrated features of X and shouldn't be dumped.
First: I have no problem with non-lethal or lethal weapons in trained hands with connected responsible heads.
But I definitely have a problem with the US as a world police. The simple reason is, that the deal with situations they have no clue of, and nobody really has a clue of, and so just really cannot deal with. What where the few military interventions?
Palestine - started over 50 years ago. I think with no intervention at all it would have ended at least 40 years ago with a maybe cruel but clean solution.
Somalia - too many different armed militias benefitting from the war, now after years they realize a war ruins the country and now they start trying to keep peaceful. The foreign military effords were ridiculous.
Bosnia - they tried hard, but couldn't stop the exodus forced and maintained by all parties. I mean, if they all (not the neutral civilians, but they have nothing to say) wanted to, why try to stop them.
Kosovo - no ground troops at all and trying to control?
Ruanda - why no intervention here?
Racial Riots in LA - why didn't they bomb LA? Or stationed UNO-troops there. There where more people affected than in Kosovo
So I would say making a war "human" makes the war less cruel, but the situation left unbearable.
But I'm just an overcivilized geek and have not really a clue of whats going on.
"While making and importing decoding devices will be banned, their personal use will not."
So it will be illegal to import MS Word as it decodes MS Word.doc files!
Yep, I knew it's a strange word, wasn't sure if, it exists, but didn't look it up for language raping. Now I looked and proved it isn't in the wordbook.
But it's understandable. Next time I use arrogancy. Thank you for pointing it out.
BTW, I'm not native English speaking, but I speak Russian, French and some Mandarin and native German, as you may see from my strange style.
That are the main advantages of studying, in decreasing importance( arrogantness warning):
you learn where you may take a closer look at
you are forced to do things you won't do on your own and learn from it
it is very likely to find people who can do certain tasks better that you and you can learn from them
you meet a lot of people with similar interests and you can learn from them
exams are to say you that you are not doing completely stupid things
you get a degree, and there are many people out there that value them very high
So, to study is the best way to aid your personal learnig process. You can learn all on your own, and in the end you have to learn all on your own, but an academic environment helps a lot. And e.g. medicine is almost impossible to learn without academic background.
Yes, agnosticism is very close to my state, too.
But with organized belief I don't exclusivly mean religions with organisations. A religion is organized in that way that there is an often very old tradition and writings and myths and rules connected to that religion. This is definitely something that brings organization. An institution for religious sake is only one of the most consequent forms of such organisation.
I agree, there are some activist atheist institutions and books. But they are not primarily atheistic. It just happens to be that atheism is the preffered philosophy of people with specific goals as communism and the like.
I agree that man is the best command line documentation format. But the main problem is the multiple sources for documentation formats, as there is man , info , plain text, html and and and. I think all these tools should become interfaces with a single DocBook datatabase and using xslt and similar filters to provide output for every interface. In particular this is a long term project I started on sourceforge called dox. But recently it moved to a very long term project.
Please explain why atheism is a religion. A religion is organized belief, and I'm not aware of an organization promoting atheism.
BTW, I'm not religious at all, but I'm not an atheist and I know the books and traditions of many religions at least partially.
That is the main problem with all those limited liability structures. The property is not connected to responsibility anymore. Or do you think the Shell shareholders feel responsible for the things happening in Nigeria? Or the mnagement? Come on, they are hired bill jobbers. It may be a democratic background to seperate possesion and mangement, but this cripples or kills responsibility.
The one side feels not responsible for the actions of a company and the other side feels only responsible to the shareholders. And both sides have actually no clue whats going on. And the people with a clue have only seldom a chance to influence political decisions.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not for total control by the gouvernment, I just want to make people liable for things happening, so that they may remember that they are responsible for it.

And you are definitely allowed to make a copy of any content for personal use. And you are definitely allowed to watch any content whereever you are. And silly DVD region codes and encryption is attempted to prevent both.
Just imagine you are not allowed to read an original Shakespeare in a non English speaking country. There are so many movies on DVD only available in one region code. Or you are not allowed to cite from a book, as this is prevented by a copy protection.
That commercial thing just should not be the base of every decision. This gonna be much more dangerous than any cracking tool. This type of content protection is even used in agriculture! There are manipulated cereals that only germ if they are treated with some chemicals only available from the seeds company!
As cute as the Deamon is, this shouldn't become usual business. I just don't want to see "Penguin Geek Barbie®" and "BSD Zealot Ken®" with fixed sitting positions and, when pushing the head, saying "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US" with RMS voice.
The foreign countries section of the Stasi. Head was Markus Wolf. They had spys in the highest positions of the NATO and and several gouvernments (Guillaume...).
The inner sections were very effective, too. But they had completely different working agendas, though sometimes equivalent methods.
You can say whatever you want, but the most effective, most accurate and simply best spying method is still a motivated, intelligent, self-controlled person. Satellites, ECHELON and Carnivor are nothing against it.
That's why the HV A was the best secret service ever. But the best secret service doesn't help, if your gouvernment is ideologically trapped and incompetent, and all double agents ever have done less damage than weapon lobby or oil lobby. Hope Mr. Bush will learn this anytime.
The original tools (rpm and dpkg) or an own tool slurping both formats and building an own database in an own format? When it uses original tools, then there are two databases.
It is definitely a step in the right direction, but to use this tool you need several MB of software installed to use it.
It isn't graphical for debian by default. But there are graphical tools. dselect is a nuisance. But this makes it possible to make a Debian install with less than 30MB, as you don't need X and all this stuff. And if you not even use dselect (some fiddling necessary) you can have a Debian system of less than 10MB, as a file/mail server for example. Try that with any other general purpose distribution.
This is a good tool, but it only hides the problem and doesn't solve it. So now you have one GUI and one tool to keep track of dependencies and get the packages, but you still need the rpm-tools, the deb/apt tools, you have both databases, you need perl for most debs and you need GNOME to use the tool.
Your's is a trick question or a troll.
Making a game is the union of almost all forms of art and even much more. In a game you can use all the possibilities of photography, painting, music, literature and film. You can use a subset of the possibilities of sculpturing and drama. And there are so many possibilities unique to computer games. You also have to have a decent background in mathematics, and, depending on the game, almost every other science. just the fact that there is a gaming industry does not negate the fact that computer games are an art form.
A good game designer has to be firm in more areas of knowledge than most other professions and artists. It's just sad that so few are using the potential.
And if you have problems with the definition of art: every creator is an artist, every creation is a piece of art. Note the opposing sense of cloning and copying. But this doen't mean that copying can't be a medium of art.
Programming is an art, though not every piece of code is a piece of art. The only difference to most other arts is, that it can be much more appreciated by other programmers, such as music can be much more appreciated by musicians, but much more distinctive.
