"One processes the physical features of the face" Would that be called the sense of sight, perhaps?
"one decides whether or not the face is known" And this one seems to be visual memory.
"a third retrieves information about that person, such as their name." And this one we typically call ordinary memory.
I can't say I know what I'm talking about, but this seems kind of obvious. It sounds like they're saying, "well you see the face, recognize it, and identify it."
I dunno, the more I read about it, the more it sounds like "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em." You know, the red and the blue robots who punch each other's heads off? Slightly more sophisticated... but not something I'd want to spend more than a few minutes with.
Will Ximian give me back my view-ports and edge-flipping? Gnome2/metacity/sawfish2 in RedHat 8.0 totally pissed me off with their lack, and opposed stance to such features. Don't they realize how addictive those things are? It's like UI heroine, and I'm jonesing! If Ximian implemented those features along with some other standard missing preferences like user defined key-bindings (right now you have to use gconf-editor to set them), I think a large portion of Gnome users would switch. Go Ximian.
Oh, and on an aside note, is Michael on crack? Evolution vs. Desktop?!? It must be the lack of viewports that's fucking him up.
I run bash and the bug works beautifully well, I even gathered a crowd to witness it. Its immediateness is really amazing, a worthy watch. Maybe if you call Apple support they can help you to crash just like the rest of us.
Well, there's always true translucency. Yes, it's mostly pointless, but it's so cool to look at. But if you're going to allow that, then you have to make everything hardware accelerated (just for speed). And if you're going to do that, well, you may as well base everything on a recognized standard such as PDF for cool scaling and whatnot, and then well... you've got Aqua, and Quartz Extreme. So why not throw in a robust video layer too. And implement that funky vsync tweak that makes window movements sooooo smoothe.
I dunno, XFree has made little progress in these directions and I just doubt it'll ever get up to par. I'd like to have native rotation, and a fast shapelib. Maybe I'm just wrong though. Everytime I tell people about the real problems I encounter with XFree I'm told they don't exist. Or they mutter something about the protocol. All I know is that I don't give a damn about network translucency (I'm no admin, just a user), I want my bloody alpha translucency. And the slowness and bugs ARE really there.
The toolkits have really progressed over time, QT and GTK really are top quality. The only layer that I find lacking, surprisingly enough is the Window Management layer of the UI. Most window managers are either ugly or half complete (like MetaCity and Sawfish2 -- which I'm told have the FEATURES of being half-complete). The cool and configurable ones, like Enlightenment DR16 are buggy as HELL. And E17 doesn't look like it'll ever be realeased.
As you can see, I could go on for days on my misinformations, but I'll cut it off here. At least I know I want a hardware accelerated, eye candied up, configurable UI.
Ah, yes, that's the problem alright, no one ever taught the people using Kazaa that stealing is wrong. It's all so clear now. Of course moral virtue is acquired by a good education!

Why don't you talk with your friend and tell us? Most of us aren't at either of these places, aren't you best suited to answer your own questions? This is interesting, let us know!

No, actually the machines in question were of identical hardware. When mounting the linux side under rescue mode, I found the majority of directories were butchered and turned into gigantic files. And Windows just wouldn't boot. I really have no clue what happened. Maybe it's worth another shot, but dang it takes a while to copy those images...

Just a few days ago,after hours and hours of frustration and failure with Ghost and DeployCenter and other commercial products, I decided to use g4u on my college's CS lab for dual boot (RH80 and W2K). I just popped the floppy in and the image copy was underway. Too bad it corrupted both OS's filesystems. It was so simple and straight-forward I was sure it would work. Is this realease any different from the one available a few days ago? Out of all the other solutions I tried this was the closest to helpful. (Most other FOSS failed to even get DHCP up)
well that may certainly be, and i think it most likely is, but that still isn't what i meant. i just simply meant that there's a possibility the mind is immaterial - i did not that it is simply unsensible to us. there is a difference: for instance, the number three or the definition of something is not limited to space or time or matter. now i know there are many materialistic responses to this idea, but i also think it's been well argued by many great philosophers (socrates, plato, aristotle...). all i'm saying is that i was kinda surprised to not see a single comment mentioning it. is this idea really that dead or considered refuted today? that's what interests me, not whether i'm right or wrong (since i have a pretty firm opinion about that anyway).
I'm just shocked that not a single comment above even thought to mention the idea that it's possible that part of the mind is not physical at all. This idea is not new, and certainly not restrained to religious thought only - so it is hardly science-hostile. Very strange, I guess materialism is vibrant here. Oh well.
I don't know about anyone else's install, but when putting 8.0 on a pretty standard box, I got and error from a corrupted zlib package, killing the install entirely. And this was AFTER I wasted my time "checking the install media." There goes my home directory.

how come English is in quotes in the title rather than webspeak?

How many of you are fans of xkobo? It's by the far the linux game I've wasted the most time playing...
I used to use a serial modem. That should make the driver not as much of a problem... I think.
Perhaps menus and icons have been around for so long because ... I dunno ... they work?
Really, how much of your time is taken up by double clicking?
I've been waiting for this to happen so I can give my expert advice to foreign terrorist groups to fly planes into their *own dang buildings*!
Their proxies are transparent, so you don't need firewall configuration.
No, it is not a comnon problem. You are just a very very dirty man. Please do not "ask slashdot" about your hygiene problems again.
