In the places they are sailing, the wind is almost always blowing... At least to some degree.
The accomplishment they have made is pretty significant as far as vehicles over water considering they can travel over the speed the wind is blowing on sails alone... and yes, that is possible.. think of a sail as a wing on its side using difference in pressure to pull it forward.
Sailing is a pretty extreme sport for some, being in conditions with 20+ foot waves, 30+ knots of wind and water that is less then 50 degrees F. So they might spend a couple million for a boat... a NFL team spends much more for its players and its stadium.
No, it probably won't hurt the linux community. Look inside a lot of devices these days, from Tivo's, to cash register systems, and many other things. Lots of them run linux. Not all the software has to be GPL'd.
Saying the registry is unified is completely a miss respresentation. All that does is unify the location of the data, which can be done in any OS. For instance, in my system absolutely every system config file is in etc, all user specific configs are in there root home directory, there are no exceptions. There is no unified format as to what type of data goes in the registry, what form it is in, where in the registry you put it, ect. ect. ect. Not that any other OS is any better (except maybe MacOSX and some other XML only config file OS's), but 99% of windows programs have absolutely no documentation on what settings go into the regsitry, where they go, and what they do.
You also find under windows problems with applications trying to hide keys from you by putting them in places poorly named, or not named in any fashion that allows you to link the keys with an application. This is a problem with the application, but it is the registry that harbors the problem.
Of course a lot of the reason why software in linux can't/doesn't try to hide stuff is because it requires some sort of hand configuration, which for some might be frustrating or hard, though any good app is well enough documented that configuration is trivial. Even good windows apps hardly ever (I won't say never, but I have never myself seen it) document there use of the registry, or dll's, or anything like that.
Because eventually we will hit the limit on what you can push through cat 5E or "cat 7" cables. Fiber's limit is way higher, so it stops them from having to rewire next time they upgrade.
Well if you do a raw copy I don't see that making a difference... sure it means the data would be un usable on the computer, but it can still gets copied exactly as it was, regardless.
First off, Gnome 2 is not an OS, it is a desktop system. It isn't required so if you want to avoid bloat then don't install it.
Second... There is a ton of code in Win2k/XP that deals with Win9x software and all the old Windows API's are present in both Win2k and WinXP. If you notice Windows gets bigger and bigger with every release (as most software tends to do).
I agree too. I just not so long ago (about August) built my first computer from parts, and I got all mine from mwave. I would recomend them, very nice and easy to find anything you want there. No problems, though the same thing can't be said about fedex....
Just a quick note... You can play home brewed games on the PS2 if you develop them using the SDL libraries.
In fact, knowing the kind of architecture Sony has chosen it would probably be easier to develop anything you wanted to home brew with SDL and Linux then with the regular sony dev tools anyway.
I would try it to see if it actually does crash my computer.. but I would probably be forced to kill myself from listening to the music if it did play....
I have been using ReiserFS since 2.4.2 and I love it. I have to say it has never taken me more then 30 seconds to build a reiser partition and mine are a lot bigger then 6GB.
Are they any structural advantages to ext3? I have always been told reiser has a more efficient way of doing things.
The Tualatin is a 0.13um process version of the P3. It does out perform the p4 at the same clock speed. However, you have to keep in mind that the P4 can run at much higher clock speeds. The 0.18um version of the P4 easily hits speeds well above 2 ghz. (some over clocking number show 2.6Ghz). When the P4 goes to a 0.13um process it will be able to go even higher, as Intel has shown one at 3.5Ghz. The PIII at 0.13um will not be able to scale nearly that high, and thus won't be as fast.
Basicly, what Intel proved is something we already knew, if you shrink the die (within reason) you can ramp up the clockspeed to previously unreachable speeds. Remember there first attempt at the PIII 1.13 Ghz?:)

Your right, MHz. is mostly meaningless. But as far as the bus goes look at it this way.
AMD bus = 200Mhz. x 2 bits per cycle = 3.2GB/s bandwidth
Intel bus = 200Mhz. x 4 bits per cycle = 6.4GB/s bandwidth
You cannot argue that Intel doesn't have an advantage here, having twice the memory bandwidth of the AMD chip.

Are you sure sony isn't protecting suicide?
