As far as I know, it has not been reported. My quick bugzilla search yielded nothing, and except for a post by me some time ago, I don't think I've seen it discussed on the gentoo forums.
You should monitor the memory used by gconfd-2. firefox never seems to increase memory usage, but gconfd-2 slowly creeps up (starts at about 10M and overnight will climb to 100M...seems to level off there, though).
This happens on to me on Gentoo Linux. Don't know if it happens anywhere else.
What about those of us who make purchasing decisions for big business? We're already buying from Dell and, if Dell sold a machine whose hardware was 100% supported by Linux, you can be sure we'd purchase those models even if we didn't use the distro pre-installed since we would know that our distro of choice would also support said hardware.
It's a mistake to think that all Linux users are hobbiests who want everything for free. Some of us spend big money on hardware.
I run Firefox in Linux and don't have any memory problems with Firefox. gconfd-2, on the other hand, gobbles up 100M or so overnight, so I end up restarting Firefox just to get gconfd-2 to restart.
Can anyone explain why a configuration daemon eats up 100M overnight? When I start it up, it only takes about 10M.
The only thing the game developer needs to worry about is capacity. I don't think that any of the details currently being discussed will have any effect on the game developer.
Most small inventors I know are actually quite well off. They're either retired and inventing as a hobby, or have lucrative jobs that don't let them be as creative as they'd like, so they invent on the side.
Think about it. If you've got the skills to successfully invent something useful, you've probably got the intelligence and abilities to be gainfully employed.
I agree that there are lots of open source apps that support your claim, but the apps I use more than any others, vim, gcc, make, etc, are counterexamples. Linux itself, while it certainly has corporate support, would continue if all current corporate suport disappeared.
but the tools and the references for MySQL were better.
Is this generally considered to be true?
There appear to be more 3rd party books about MySQL than PostgreSQL, but I suspect that's largely because the official documentation for PostgreSQL is so good to begin with.
From what little bit I've done, mono is pretty solid unless you need to use Windows Forms. If you don't use any MS-only libraries, mono will probably do what you want and be cross-platform at the same time.
The slowest machine I've ever built gentoo on was a 700MHz PIII. With the exception of OpenOffice, it could rebuild the entire system overnight. Granted, I don't run gnome or kde, so YMMV. Based on this experience, I would suspect that any computer less than 5 years old would be as fast or faster.
But that's just not true. Over the last couple of years I've seen lots of normal users switch from Windows to OSX, mostly to get away from spyware. I don't think I've anyone go back, nor have I seen any mac users switch to windows (although one thought he was when he bought an XBox).
There are accounting games that could be played such that the patent owner never recoups their development costs. I don't know if they are legal, however.
At Vanderbilt, there is at least one Mac lab used for statistics and for computer music classes. The Blair School of Music faculty mostly had Macs, a dozen or so of the engineering professors had Macs as their primary machines (most of these professors wrote books on the side...I don't know if there's a connection). The physics lab exclusively used (really old) macs for some reason.
It's the only school I know, but there were lots of macs floating around if you wanted to look for them.

why would it have any bigger performance hit than Xen. Everything I've read about Xen says that the performance hit is small.
Mod parent up. He's hit the solution right on the head.
Only real solution I've seen yet.

Did the article say what kinds of things the automated tool flagged as bugs?
Vaccuuming is now a background process that you can leave running all the time.
I think auto-vaccuume was added in version 8.
You can plug a regular USB keyboard into both the PS2 and the XBox360.

Is there such a country?
Was it because your laptop had a broadcom chipset in it?
That's what mine has. I can get it to work using ndiswrapper, but I generally just pop a pcmcia wireless card in 'cuz I don't trust ndiswrapper.

Any idea how well the _Practical_PostgreSQL_ book from O'Reilly has sold?

and they are partly owned by MS (am I the only one who remembers that deal?)
My understanding is that Microsoft sold off all that stock long ago.
Maybe some karma whore can give us a link...
Google has a higher profile than Microsoft and Yahoo? How do you figure?
Your number was wrong by an order of magnitude: it's .09%, not .9%.
Still not perfect, but it is almost 20 times safer.
The version that wasn't set to default accept had a 0% spyware infection rate.

If I remember correctly, a stock isn't optionable until at least 3 years after the IPO. Google hasn't been public that long.
Otherwise, you're right. Buying options is generally safer than short selling.
