You could just use one or more USB or other external cards. And really, the bandwidth an audio card takes is trivial compared to the capacity of the PCI bus.
That's irrelevent. Apple and MS don't tell you how to compile iChat/MSN because you can't. We're not talking about kernels here, we're talking about chat programs. There is no source available for iChat and MSN Messenger, therefore a comparison of their compiling process with gnomemeeting's process is pointless. With any of the programs, you can use the binaries, and you should unless you have a specific need not met by them.
Just because you can find a pattern in them doesn't mean they're not random. It's quite possible to generate those numbers in that order on a random number generator. If fact, if they were deliberatly chosen not to have any visible patterns, that would make them completely nonrandom.
So, you get +5 for copy and pasting something you didn't write, and then another +5 for pointing out you didn't write it? That's some major whoring talent.
If Sears donated the equipment to build your house, along with the foundation, walls, shingles, furniture and appliances, then I would say they deserve some credit for the house. They wouldn't necessarily own it any more than RMS claims he "owns" GNU/Linux, but they do deserve some credit.
Syscalls and other OS level stuff are all pure Linux and don't have much to do with the GPL.
Linux is GPL'd, so they have everything to do with the GPL. Presumably you meant GNU. In that case, realize that glibc and gcc are both GNU projects, and no Linux software would exist without either one. There are many different bits of code on your average Linux box, but the only ones you have to have to run the system are the GNU tools and Linux itself.
The Darwin kernel, which forms the core of OS X, is already available for x86. The rest of OS X (Quartz, Aqua, the Finder, iLife, etc. - everything that makes it OS X) is closed source and cannot be ported except by Apple. That said, it is pretty widely assumed that Apple does maintain an x86 port of OS X internally, just in case they ever need it. Releasing such a thing would kill their hardware sales, so they never will unless they really have to.
My words were true - the links he posted were servers, and useless as desktops. Your link, OTOH, is to an overpriced workstation that costs $5000 for one 900Mhz Itanic processor, a 36GB SCSI drive, a Quadro2 card, a DVD-ROM drive, and a "Linux software enablement kit". Meanwhile, Apple is shipping a dual 2GHz G5 with faster RAM, a 160GB SATA drive, a Radeon 9600 Pro, a Superdrive, and OS X for $3000. Obviously, they're intended for different markets, but which do you think is the better value?
Those are servers, which (among other things) look ugly, are expensive (even more so than Macs), and don't support AGP graphics. In other words, they're worthless as desktop machines.
the value is still going to be the PC's advantage. I suppose that's opinion though.
It is. Of course, there are no low-end Macs, which means that PC's pretty much have that part of the market won. However, if you configure a dual Xeon / dual Opteron machine similarly to the G5, I think you'll find that the G5 is cheaper and spanks the x86 boxes in performance.

Nope. They're talking about a similar hack in the Dashboard, which is built into the Xbox and therefore doesn't require owning any patticular game.
You still have to solder the motherboard. With an official bootloader, you;d just pop in the CD and go.
Here you go.
If the old one was perfect, they wouldn't need to release a new one.
They're called Xeons.
No. Nothing bypasses the BIOS.

Probably not, since they'll know there's a 50/50 chance it'll be back up on the front page in a day or two anyway.
The G5 is not the first 64-bit processor, but it is the first 64-bit system a sane person would actually use as a desktop.
No he meant Gecko. WebCore/KHTML does render similarly to Gecko, although not identically, which is why the parent advised Knoppix/Konqueror.
Beautiful. I am in awe.
I believe pcre stands for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions.
No, I didn't. I said that the boxes Brento linked to didn't have AGP, and I was right. I never made a generalized statement about all Itaniums.
Why wouldn't it be? There is such a thing as free speech.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there are currently any Opteron boards with an AGP port, which limits you to some pretty shitty graphics.
The 3Ghz version has that too, I believe.
