So there you go, gcc is SLOW but is pretty damn good and FREE whereas VC++ is faster but EXPENSIVE for a poor broke lad like me.
Also i checked out VC++7 but due to its reliance on.net framework, the fact that it eats more ram than mozilla and its SLOWWWWW performance on my machine, I had to throw it out.
As a last note, i did try out icc from intel and was not too impressed with it, it basically had the same performances as gcc-3.0, costs much more and was the worst pain to install on debian (it's distributed in.rpm format).
I just discovered MinGW thanks to some earlier posts on this thread and decided to install it on my work machine to compare VC++ compiler and g++.
My most intensive calculation is a home made implementation of AES (raijndal?) so here goes:
(g++ is compiling with -O3 and VC++ is set to "Maximise Speed")
VC++
encrypt 2.50 MB/s decrypt 2.12 MB/s
g++3.2
encrypt 2.17 MB/s decrypt 1.77 MB/s
close but not there yet. keep in mind gcc3.2 from my tests on the same algorithm on GNU/Linux is ~10% slower than 3.0, but i don't know how to install 3.0 on MinGW yet.
IMHO gcc3.0 kicks ass in portability and is pretty damn good in speed, just as long as they fix the regression from 3.0 to 3.2
I think it came about after i installed 1.2a so my best guess would be to blame 1.2a...
had to play with my prefs.js and remove many smtp servers with nonexistant server names. I think it has to do with their Advanced option in SMTP preferences. it allows you to have many smtp servers and one by default. any modification done on this dialog box had no effect on the final outcome of bugged mail sending. was this option there before? i had never seen it...
I did not know that. I just tried it and it's really cool. Don't know what to do with it but i like the fact that it's there
One of my friends was complaining to me about windows2k because he couldn't boot in DOS mode anymore. he was arguing "but if i break something, how do i go into dos to fix it?" no way jose...
Still i tried Alt+F7 to get back to nice gui mode and my screen stayed black...what's up with that?
not much you can do as this seems to come from bad encoding.
from what i understand, the video is divx'd and the sound is mp3'd. finally all of it is brought together to make a nice.avi and depending on how you do it, it is possible to screw the synchronization of the two:-(
This has mostly nothing to do with this post, but bear with me.
For a while now, my kernel 2.4.something has become silent, ie: it does not write to kern.log or syslog, have i missed a compilation option or does it just not like to talk to me anymore?
anyone have a problem like this before?

I know i'm stupid, but @ least i have no problem admitting it.
there was also a nice slashdot article which links to
IBM which explains in lengthy yet interesting details
what exactly ext3 is and how to implement it:

if you read the older articles as well, there is a bit about ReiserFS and devFS.

actually i ran into this a couple of weeks ago.

I know there's an itanium version and one for 64bit power4 or whatever the big ibm's are running, but would there be a g5 64 bit linux in january?
