I'm talking about the individual threads. Having the whole application migrate is only useful if you're running a great number of separate applications.
One of the advantages of OpenMosix is that programs do not need recompilation or any special design techniques to take advantage of clustering.
This design goal isn't always realized though, because OpenMosix works with processes as the atomic work-distribution unit, and not treads. ie. OpenMosix can't migrate multithreaded apps.
Is thread support planned for *any* future version of OpenMosix?
To download the "streaming" video link
offered and view with mplayer, you just
have to download the.asx file, open it
with a text viewer and visit the link
embedded in the.asx.
the transport provided is mms:// but you
can just use http://. The downloaded file is a
plain old.asf file that mplayer can
handle.
It's been legally recognized that using a
VCR for "timeshifting" is a valid use of
it, while recording a program or "movie
of the week" for your personal library
is not. Do you have any tapes that you've
made and watched more than once? I'd be
willing to bet the answer is yes, for the
majority of people.
And a lot of people use tape recorders to
get a copy of a friends album, so we might
as well outlaw sound recording devices
as well.
To have any level of freedom, we have to
outlaw illegal actions, not tools that
can misused. Otherwise it's a pretty
slippery slope...

Ok, let me get this straight. Because I can't
afford to match legal dollars with GM, it means
that I don't have the right to free speach?
I'm sure the lawyer here is trying to make
a name in this arena, but I have no problem
with that - it's a win-win sitution. The people
who have lost their right to protest with
domains now can do so with sub-domains.
It's refreshing to see such a logical,
well thought out argument! Kudos for
your finely honed debating skills.

You're right. People have way too many choices,
and choices are bad. In fact, M$ Windows should
be the only choice for a desktop. And the state
should only manufacture one model of car.
What real benefit does the certification provide, other than barring entry to the programming field. I doubt it will have any effect on the quality of software out there.
If I buy a house that isn't structurally sound and it falls apart, I can sue the engineering firm that signed off on the work.
Forgive me if I sound incredulous, but I find it hard to believe that I'll be able to sue Microsoft if my OS crashes too frequently.
Hardware schemes will stop hackers?

Obviously the writer is ignoring the world around him.
Sony has been continually adding hardware guards on the playstation models against playing non-sony discs. Time and time again, multiple chipping countermeasures have been cheap and plentiful, and there are lots of folk more than willing to do the soldering work for you for a minimal fee.
The hu-card hackers seem to be holding their own against hardware protection measures.
If anything, sometimes hardware protection schemes can be *more* vulnerable - at least software schemes can be upgraded. When you pick a hardware
lock, it's picked forever!
It's not paranoia. It comes down to one's philisophical disposition... some people *actually* believe in the GPL. They feel
that it is a user's right to recieve
source.
I don't think that this was an odd statement
coming from someone who owes the GPL so much.
He's just being true to his ethics.
If you believe that the GPL is the correct thing to do, is it so strange to view working for a non-GPL company the wrong thing to do?

This case sets a very bad precident.

I love it - this kind of rumour is the thing that will kill any sales... remember Osbourne computer?
Although it's a necessary component, it's a stretch to call it the heart.
What I'd like to see is more install source options... perhaps the capability to mount Windows shares via smbmount to access the CDROM.

Get a grip, AC.

A happy side effect.
The other antivirus software vendors
should jump on this too.
Then writing completely stealthy virii
will only entail embedding "FBI" signatures
into the code.
