Guess what, nobody gives a flying fuck if you're not interested in a particular topic. Do you think it's your duty to inform us whenever you're faced with a subject that doesn't immediately spark your interest (assuming anything does)? "This is boring, waaaaah!"
Shut up.

I'll vote for whoever I think can do the job the best, of course. I guess, at this point in time, I don't think either Republicans or Gore can do it well. Unfortunately, I haven't been keeping up on other parties' candidates. Right now, from my admittedly limited viewpoint, it looks like "none of the above" will be the best choice...

...and people are actually contemplating voting for this mannequin? He's got all the personality of a piece of balsa wood, and he's almost as intelligent. I'd stoop to voting for a Republican (as long as it wasn't their village idiot Dan Quayle) over this moron.

Because AMD doesn't support any sort of SMP anymore. The K5 supported OpenPIC, but no motherboards ever did. The K6, K6-2, and K6-3 don't support any SMP standard at all.

It takes me just under 4 minutes to compile 2.0.36 on my lowly K6-2 300. I imagine I could get about 2:30 or so if it ran at 400 MHz and if I had a little more RAM.
Maybe there's a bottleneck somewhere; I'd think you'd be able to compile a kernel much faster with hardware like that.

You're forgetting that people like you and me *created* that database *for* them, thinking that it was a free service. At best, they've exploited us. The least we can do is throw the shit back in their face. I'd love to see a completely free clone of the cddb, and I'd love to see it dwarf the now-payware one in popularity.

And I thought Microsoft was the only one who knew how to do it. Yeah, they're gonna get a whole _lot_ of publicity in _requiring_ PIIIs to access certain websites. Unfortunately, it'll all be negative.
Pathetic.

If I can get the source to rpm, which I can, I don't see how it can be called proprietary. Sure, Red Hat may have _coded_ it, but that in and of itself doesn't make rpm "proprietary".

I fully understand and agree with your opinion. That others disagree outright without offering some counterpoints to yours only serves to illustrate how retarded they are. Ignore them out-of-hand; their opinion apparently isn't even worth their _own_ time, since they choose not to defend it.

And if someone devises a way to prevent commercial software from existing on Linux, I, and probably 99.9% of the rest of Linux' users, will stop using it. Unless someone forks the source, which would happen, I can assure you.

.. tops out at 64 CPUs. The base config, which costs just under a million dollars last I checked, comes with 16 CPUs. I forget how many gigabytes of RAM come standard. (Either two or four.)

..you _can_ "own" your copy of Linux' source code and/or executables. Thousands of other pieces of software are distributed in much the same manner. That Microsoft and every other commercial software company doesn't allow people to own the software they pay for doesn't mean that it is impossible to own any software.
I tend to trust something more when I can look at the pieces which comprise it, if I so choose.

NT servers that need to be available tend to be the self-same ones that always crash.
