I'm ignorant of system architecture, but is there any reason why the code and data portions of shared libraries can't be managed separately? Ie., if you have invoked two identical programs, why not just issue memory twice for the data in the program, but keep one copy of the code? And if the versions are different, well, isnt' that the whole idea of what I am suggesting?
For normal libraries this is what happens. The only piece of memory they share is their instruction memory (which don't change at all.)
No, Windows is not based on Unix. Microsoft has tried to stay away from Unix ever since their Xenix experiment didn't go so well. The Windows NT family does borrow from the lessons learned from VMS, the first DOS was a clone of CP/M, and the windowing system is sort of derived from OS/2 (from being inspired by Apple who licenced the tech from Xerox PARC). Maybe we can all just admit, no one does anything really original anymore.
No, that's never been true. It's only illegal for the Federal government to use it for any other purpose other than Social Security. But that was weakened to allow it to be used for Tax information as well. And indivial or orginization can do whatever they want with the number. No restrictions.
Let's say I move some where else and become a resident of that country and drop my residency here in the US, but then move back and become a US resident again. Do I get my old number back? Do I get another number? If so, what happened to my old one?
This cannot happen. Once the United States considers you to be a citizen, it always considers you a citizen and subject to its laws. You cannot drop your citizenship (and therefor you SSN) for any reason other than dying.
Part of that is because NFS doesn't work as well for transfering files as FTP. Overhead from the RPC calls and all. Have you compared the same test on other machines? Suns? SGI? etc?
How did you get multiple monitors to work with 3d acceleration? I though X disabled 3d acceleration with Xinerama installed. I'm interested to find out what you did.
Take Slashdot -- perl-driven, perhaps, and working reasonably well in its way -- but betraying a lack of understanding of modern web development techniques such as the use of XHTML/CSS in place of kludgy tables and the like.
But none of these cool technologies existed when slashdot first started. There was only tables. If you were writting slashdot and supporting slashdot from the same start time, I think you're code would be full of things like "kludgy tables". The "cool" stuff you seem to like was all invented in the post-slashdot era. They run a web-site and are not fortune tellers.
You mean like this?. Just because there are high end palms, doesn't mean that there isn't simple low-cost ones as well. I remember when all Palms cost $300-$400 dollars. As a group they've all come down in price by a big margin.
Why should they need access to the source code. Virtual PC emulates a x86 machine. They should be using the informaiton they got from Intel or AMD on how the x86 works. Microsoft Windows won't tell them anything.
I don't know. After seeing the SF Dune, I had a new respect for David Lynch. Lynch's movie felt more like Dune and less like a bad Power Ranger's remake.
You can lock access to the bios without preventing the computer from booting. And one can have a different password for booting and for changine the bios options. I doubt you'd be able to insert the device and get someone then editing the bios password to change options in any case.
The problem with the rule is not the fact that it exists, but that the state of Florida didn't even do decent diligence in enforcing it. It counties more likely to vote democratic people were denied the right to vote if they shared the same last name as a felon in another state. The organization hired to compile the list seemed to just randomly put down names with out checking even basic things like first, last, and middle names. Or even cross-checking social security numbers. But I guess that's what you get when there is a lot of money to do it and the state hires a group with strong ties to the current state administration.
Which is why during refit the 8086s were replaced with 486s. Newer computers (Pentiums and Athlons) have a number of problems with space. The biggest being that since the traces are now so small back ground radiation makes them go crazy. The older processors use bigger trace sized (350 nm compared to 150 nm) and are less suspectable to the same sort of errors. The newest processors also have a big problem with heat. On Earth they can disipate heat into the air, but in space there is no air so the cooling fans won't work. Modern general purpose processors are not designed to general environments. They are designed for pressurized, humidified, low-radiation environments. And as such they are unsuited for space travel. Intel makes a number of processors that are suited, with the fastest being about the speed of a 486.
Or maybe AOL didn't defy the subpoena and just didn't have the information the feds were looking for. Sometimes the information is not available to anyone because it's not saved anywhere. If AOL saved even the most basic logs on their users, they'd keep the hard drive business rocking for years.
Really? Gnucash 1.8.0 required a clean install of Redhat to install a new version of g-wrap and a some perl module called perl(Finance::Quote). It's even the RPM marked redhat-8.0. I still think that they really aren't ready for prime time.

I suspect it's just the cohorts. Bush I is on record as saying war now is a really, really dumb idea.

I figure they cannot get benifits, but the United States will still consider them US Citizens for the purpose of procecuting them in the future.

Do I really need to remind you that these were the genuises behind Bob?
Only if your accepting packages from the unstable development tree. It's currently masked for the stable trees.
If it didn't communicate over a socket, then it wouldn't be X at all, it would be something else entirely.

Did you really watch the same AntiTrust as everyone else? Because I'm not so sure you did.
Do you live in Manhatten, KS or Manhatten, NY? There would be a difference in your arguement based on where you actually live.
I believe that Katz no longer writes articles for slashdot. I haven't seen one in ages anyway.
Yea. Martian Dreams kept me interested for hours upon hours. It seems kind of sad that they don't make games like that any more.

Except Atlantis was ready to be moved onto the pad last Monday. Meaning it was 95% percent ready to go.
