DNS name records can (and often do) contain multiple IP addresses for that very reason - load balancing. Perhaps not true load-and-fault-sensitive balancing, but load distribution at the very least.
Try "host www.amazon.com" on different machines - you'll get any number of addresses back.
Look up RFC 1794 some time, which has been implemented in both Linux and NT systems for at least the last six years.
Those little boxes were masters at multi-processing, and they did it right - one processor for pretty much every major peripheral task (disk, graphics, sound, something else I can't remember).
As long as these Intel coprocessors are going to be an open standard (which they almost certainly won't), then I'd welcome this addition to PC architecture.
Light can be described as invisible. At least depending on your definition of visible.
You cannot see a light beam. From the right viewpoint, however, you can see the light source and any objects the light hits, such as walls and flecks of dust.
W? W?! Do you really think the buck stops with George W Bush? Taking him out of the equation would change very little, if anything at all.
You're not fighting an individual, or even a vested interest group. It's an entire system that since the day of its founding could not have turned out any other way. (grumbles something about sleeping in the bed we've all made)
What the blazes does lol mean? And I'm not talking about "Laugh out loud" or "Lots of laughs".
At btefnet.net there's a whole lot of files that end with.hdtv.lol.torrent. What does it mean in that context? Is it the method with which it was captured (Linear Ordered Lumacapture), or just the initials of some guy (Lawrence Oliver Larson) with too much time on his hands?

I do see your point that a strength of Linux should be the ability to work with pretty much any commodity hardware without having to fall back to "don't buy this because it won't work under Linux".
There is, however, a significant market segment that buys hardware specifically to run their software, as opposed to vice versa.
These people will buy the hardware best suited for the job, rather than scrounging for any bits they can find on eBay. In this case, they won't choose ATi.
Therefore I think it is going too far to say that anyone who slams ATi for their Linux support is arrogant, but in the same vein people should still work to support those unfortunate enough to have incompatible hardware. Maybe some kind of support group could be formed? Non-linux-compatible hardware-owners anonymous?
I wonder if they illuminate 3 LED elements per diode (RGB) to produce white, or if they illuminate each colour in turn, thus eliminating the need for a colour filter wheel?
That moving part is a considerable source of noise (and heat) in most DLP projectors.
While that is true, I believe the same can be said for how Photoshop's interface differs from that of Windows XP.
I have learned the GIMP interface and now find it much easier to use than photoshop. Not implying that it's necessarily a better interface, but, as with anything, there is a learning curve for both.
Perhaps I should clarify. I'm not including POST or other BIOS calls in this test. The boot time is defined in my case as beginning when the bootloader (LILO, GRUB or NTLDR) is told what to boot, and ending at the login prompt.
This is on a laboratory of computers that are part of a Windows Domain. Also very little changes from reboot to reboot, so the prelinking can work pretty much unhindered.
Now granted, XP hasn't loaded absolutely everything by the time the login prompt appears, but the rest gets even worse for Linux. Under XP I can log in immediately and have a web browser open in slightly less time than it takes Fedora to finish loading the desktop.
That said, I don't actually need to reboot very often, and still prefer Fedora over any flavour of Windows.

Hmm, I'm seeing a common theme in many of those items you've listed.
But not of much use to most women, who in fact aren't pathetic masturbaters.
Uh, no. Just no.

I'm sure the situation at hand will give a significant kick in the pants for transaction log development for MySQL.
Or a massive shift to Postgres.
Try telling that to Amiga fans in 1989-1992.

buying Intel really will make the internet go faster!
XForms: ...

* Microsoft doesn't support it
Web Forms 2.0:
* Microsoft doesn't support it
Not that that's a problem - we don't support Microsoft either.
As long as we don't have further idiotic statements coming from the White House like this:
"The [oil-dependent] American Way of Life is not negotiable"
- George Bush Snr, Earth Summit, 1992

Maybe that was true in 1989, but PC gaming is now a multi-million (if not billion) dollar industry.
The fact is that most PC owners do play computer games (not all 3D, but games nonetheless), and if they don't, their kids do.
Nonetheless, it's a problem, and it has been noted in the proper place at mozilla.org
Therefore it is a documented problem. Even if the source hasn't been identified. But that's part of finding the solution, isn't it?
W? W?!

Just start typing, and a text box appears.
If the file list is selected, then you'll get automatic completion/highlighting, too.
Or just hit '/' to get a more traditional window (still with automatic completion).

If you can't use a program until you learn to overlook its idiosyncrasities, that's pretty much the *definition* of a bad interface
Well I guess that makes the mouse a bad interface.
And a pencil and paper too, for that matter.
Hate to break it to you, dude, but it's all learned.
Oh, quicktime VR.
Never mind

This worked for me:
apt-get install mplayer w32codec
I once saw something like this:
/hour /hour if you watch /hour if you help
Computer repair rates:
$20
$30
$60
A hot dinner usually does it for me.
Startup time (defined as the period from hitting Return at the GRUB menu to the login screen appearing with zero disk activity):So the speed difference is now a factor of 3 rather than 15 as I'd previously claimed, but I'd say it's still rather significant!

Let's just say you'll have time to comb your hair too.
