So, how does one look up the proper jumper settings for the motherboard if one doesn't know what #!@*ing speed it is! Or will there be a speed conversion chart...
"If you have a model 1600, use 14x core/bus ratio, but if you have an 1800, use the 16x ratio. If you have a 2000, still use the 16x. We just thought 2000 was a better name."
If Intel patented some key part of the technology, like the CPU socket (think Slot 1 & 2), or the north bridge, then Intel would make it impossible, or extremely difficult, for VIA to produce a compatible chipset without Intel's permission.
That being said, I think this is a really stupid move on Intel's part, The only reason they would be doing it is because of some agreement they still have with Rambus.
You're thinking of trademarks, where failing to enforce a trademark causes "dilution," and effective loss of the trademark.
With patents, the holder can enforce it at any time. Many times, a patent holder will wait to enforce the patent until it is to the holders advantage, usually when everybody is using it.
At least he hasn't suggested making your laptop computer lighter by deleting all of the files on the hard drive. The files make the hard drive heavier, you know...
Here the case seems more complicated, because the IETF is the one using the name, not a third party.
A question this brings up, is whether IETF has an agreement like other bodies do concerning intellectual property, i.e., if you make a proposal, you have to say what you are planning on claiming as your own in patents, copyrights, etc. Wouldn't trademarks fall under that same category?
I was going to try this, but both http://gnu.gcc.org/ and the Changes doc in the kernel source say this is bad juju.
The GCC 2.96/2.97 tree isn't meant for these kinds of things anyway, since the binaries it makes aren't forward or backward compatible with other GCC releases.
linux-2.4.0 & gcc-2.95?

2.2 vs 2.4

Has anybody tried compiling linux-2.4 with gcc-2.95? Is this still considered Bad Juju?

A doubleplus good day to all!!
Just remember, Dick Stallman's picture was released under GPL, so you can't sell it.
Nope! And you can thank UCITA fro that! $ $
You know, everybody used to this Canada was spelled CND, and then somebody asked a Canadian to spell it...
I won't be following baseball. I think hockey makes a *much* better national pastime, and NASCAR too.
Pick up an Oakland station on the skip, beyotch.

Tom's Hardware Guide has a good article on it too. It's 'the longest article he has ever written and it doesn't even have any bar graphs.'

Actually 2.2.x always had USB support, but it was very broken. They actually had a backport for 2.2.15, which I guess qualifies as a bug patch.
