Incorrect. FAR incorrect. if intel owned SMP, why would sun and sgi and dec(aka compaq) (etc etc etc) be making 16, 32, 64 and higher-way SMP compatible stuff?
SMP was invented before intel even made CPUs (NOTE: i don't know this for sure......:) )
It was one of the first things people wanted when they started making chips....let's throw more CPUs at all our problems. Unfortunately things weren't very scaleable back in the 70s...hehe
Or the fact that thats how Apache.org was hacked/cracked/smacked.. Misconfigured mysql deamon running as root (iirc) on the same box as their httpd deamon (IIS4 iirc...;)
it wasn't a mySQL related problem...it had nothing to do with apache. it was a misconfigured FTP server. next time READ before you post
Setting up an ecommerce site is a weak senior design project... At my school, the senior project for CmpE's is: 1) Design a CPU 2) Design an OS for it that's all the details i have of it, b/c i'm not a senior just yet and haven't looked into it:) For CS, here's one a friend of mine had to do: 1) Load a.avi file containing videos of various objects 2) Be able to identify the objects (ie distinguish which one is which) now, how does that compare to 'implementing an ecommerce site'? MUCH more difficult. try something more challenging for the seniors. After all, you're telling the world that they know what they're doing. Oh well i guess now i'll need to get a masters b/c a bachelors degree is SO watered down....
This was not JUST an 'internet scam'. The internet had nothing to do with the scamming itself. The internet only had to do with a technology the company claimed to have developed.
It might as well have been a better rat trap, this guy could've probably sold that to investors too.
I had to write a string parser for a project we were working on without the use of POSIX regular expressions, and BOY was that a pain in the ass. There exists a regex library for windows, hregex.dll i believe.
That 14" monitor isn't putting out a picture NEARLY good enough for your eyes to see. In fact, you'll probably be able to see every red, green, and blue pixel individually. How fun!
The best way is to teach them how to think like a computer. One of the best programming lessons i've seen is when the teacher asks the students how to make a sandwich. He/She then follows the students instructions exactly, no more, no less.
You can then teach them some simple programming concepts. There is surprisingly quite a bit of programming material aimed at children.
Are you alive? This is a QUANTUM algorithm. I'm SURE that OS/2 does not have any quantum algorithms, because the machines OS/2 runs on are BINARY machines, not QUANTUM. Now go do some reading on what quantum computing is and why it's so dang cool
Actually Alphas aren't usually targeted to home users. They are primarily popular in the corporate realm. Also, keep in mind that alphas have been at 900MHz (with DOUBLE speed cache for quite some time. And why would a home user want a 1.2 GHz AMD Athlon? Quake3. And that's about it.
Well, i'm an op on EFNet's #linuxhelp. (i'm nullset{}....almost always there...hehe)
Our channel is a good place to get help, we don't simply say 'rtfm', instead we'll tell you WHICH manual to go read:)
That, and our infobot, linuxURL rules! (thanks TheGhost)
Keep in mind with IRC though, that it is rude to randomly/msg people. In #linuxhelp we don't do private msgs, so come prepared to talk in the channel and read quickly:)
'Linux 3'(*) is better for this purpose. This is textmode on MOST distributions. I think mandrake did screw this up and make 3 X as well, and i think this is stupid. there should be separate run levels for multiuser mode and X mode......
*: 3 = multiuser...check out/etc/inittab to find out what it all means.
I don't think breaking up MS is the solution. That will just push them to secretly establish their monopoly. The baby MS's would likely not be very independent of one another, and the whole thing would start again.
Not to mention that by the time this went through, windows will probably be old and so will IE....2 Years is a LONG TIME in computing.

$145,000 / 41,500 = $3.4939759036/box
so, you can say $3.50 linux box!
where'd $45 come from?
Microsoft didn't write DOS. they BOUGHT it. get the story right
Anyone with some gimp skills could easily have placed a pizza hut logo on a russian rocket.

Now, HOW MUCH did they pay again?
Since when is solaris a distro?
Solaris is a totally different unix from linux. Speak before you think. Or whatever....

untar the 4.0 sources, and cvs -u, and it's all good

Yeah, and i didn't realized that apple invented LANs....
Yes, the apple proponent DID say that apple invented LANs. So was that when Al Gore was the CEO?

You mean kfirstpostd? It's in 2.3.99pre147-3-2-almostready-ac32
or maybe kslashdotd? It's a more general solution, but it won't be included until 2.4 is fully out, and the 2.5 tree starts.
So? Flash works great in linux.... and just about any other OS... (well, i'm not sure about BeOS...)
really, flash is groovy
You don't have a clue do you?

Debian is (supposedly) the only 'free' distro, in that all the software on debian is GNU.
Slackware ships with all packages, source included, except for netscape
and, GPL does NOT mean free.

You didn't read the actual article did you? The very first paragraph speaks of Columbine.....
