  1. Re:64-bit apps/CPU on the desktop on AMD, Transmeta Edge Up In Market Share · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The next gen Linux thread library will benefit significantly from having a 64 bit adress space, I remember from reading the whitepaper. Just an example.

  2. Re:Smart move Mr. Coors on Beer Added To The Food Pyramid · · Score: 1

    It's certainly healthier than anything served at McDonald's. Real drunks, such as GW Bush, are usually intoxicating themselves on liquor, not beer or wine, though it also happens.

    Q: What's common to American beer and love in a canoe?

  4. Re:they better not on Desktop Linux Sliding in Under the Radar? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps, if your time is worthless. But anyhow, he was refering to license management for any potential commercial software they may have illicitly installed.


    It's rare to have any sort of commercial software on a Linux installation, and as a result, it's close to impossible to find Linux versions of commercial software on, say, P2P networks.


    Just checking here, I have Quake 3, UT and Oracle installed. Oracle, I downloaded it from their website.

    Hey I guess you must be an MCSE :))))

  6. Working time reduction on Will Humanoid Robots Take All the Jobs by 2050? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps this would be a reason why some countries have decided to reduce working hours?

  7. Fonts in XFree Windows on Qt On DirectFB · · Score: 1

    With the latest stable XFree / fontconfig / freetype, my fonts look *much* better on my Gentoo box than on any windows box I've seen. I have a crappy CRT, and I'm running at 1024x768 ATM, the text is absolutely perfect.

  8. Re:My Version on Do It Yourself CD Changer · · Score: 1

    It also doubles as your do-it-yourself girlfriend, doesn't it?

  9. Re:Mozilla? on Details of Linux-in-Munich Deal Revealed · · Score: 1

    That would be because "konqueror" is just the shell, most of the work is done by libkhtml.

  10. Re:What about the 175 Windows apps? on Details of Linux-in-Munich Deal Revealed · · Score: 1

    Considering they still own Windows 95 licenses, they probably won't get any money here :)

  11. Re:Linux is what Airbus is to Boeing on Details of Linux-in-Munich Deal Revealed · · Score: 1

    AirBus hasn't gotten any state subsidies in a looong time, at most they got low interest loans to develop the A380. And they get very few juicy military contracts, if any, while Boeing racks up the taxpayer's money that way.

  12. Re:Gallman on Details of Linux-in-Munich Deal Revealed · · Score: 1

    It sounds like he's German and lives in Germany, it's highly unlikely that he would worry about such isses anyway.

  13. Re:A grand on Scribus 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I've used XPress for 10 years almost, on and off, to make a few non profit magazines. The price has always been a problem.

  14. Re:The telecom industry is to blame. on Mailing Disks is Faster than Uploading Data · · Score: 1

    Err I got ADSL for the first time about 4 years ago, 512/128. Now I have 2000/400 for half the price. Pretty good evolution, IMO.

  15. Re:What would cheap energy change? on What if Energy was (Nearly) Free? · · Score: 1

    With free energy it would'nt be too hard to cool it down, seriously.

  16. Re:PC only on Fan-Made Space Quest Prequel Released · · Score: 1

    On top of that, it doesn't seem to work with either the latest Wine or WineX. Might need some tweaking, it looks like it could need an original msvcrt.dll.

  17. Re:Despite this... on Working Hard? · · Score: 1

    Again, unemployment is at 9% currently in France.

  18. Re:Working more pays off on Working Hard? · · Score: 1

    When I see how much you guys are paying on rent/lodging, I have to wonder what is it exactly you call "tax" and "disposable income." Just because the cheque doesn't go to the federal government doesn't mean you're not being ripped off.

  19. Re:Oh yeah, Nic? on Working Hard? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Airbus doesn't get any subsidies any more. Boeing still gets plenty of juicy military contracts, OTOH.

  20. Re:US vs French vacation packages on Working Hard? · · Score: 1

    Bankrupt? Care to compare the US & French budget and trade deficits? Former is below 3.5% of GNP per Maastricht treaty, and trade balance is /positive/.

    oh and ask Boeing how they feel about those lazy unproductive european workers who are currently grabbing most of their marketshare for civilian airliners despites highly unfavorable exchange rate.

  21. Re:And in Europe ... on Working Hard? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    20,6% VAT, actually. Income tax can actually be lower for families with several children (3 and more). But the difference is that we get most of what we pay back.

  22. Re:And in Europe ... on Working Hard? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    9% in France ATM. 6% in USA. Oh yeah, it's less. But here you get medical insurance and education for your kids when you're unemployed.

  23. Re:Vacation vs burnout? on Working Hard? · · Score: 1

    Where did you get that 18% figure? I just checked and it's around 9% at the moment, and on top of that I believe the rule for considering someone "unemployed" are still broader than in the US.

  24. Really? on P4 3.2GHz Reviews · · Score: 1

    x86ers would like it very much if 64bit wasn't relevant for the consumer, because they're not going to get it for a little while yet, but in truth, it really is huge.

    Really?

    IT's not a religion, it's just yet another damn cult. Plus I find them scary with their fake smiles and their neato suits.
