gPXE (the Etherboot project) is used in Fedora's BFO project (based on BKO). If you have a local server, that is a cool project
I'm sorry that PXE and Etherboot get no love around here. I've been using Etherboot since ~2000, when it was the common boot method for LTSP (and K12LTSP). EB and gPXE are awesome projects that show how much you can do with so little space to work with.
When network booting several computers, I've found the boot to be much faster over the network than locally once the first computer is booted and the server has the files in memory. I wasn't even using GbE.
Wow. You took "fighting the always-connected (cloudy) movement is probably the wrong way to go if we want these things" and came back with that response about how I don't understand connectivity (or the lack of it). Nowhere did I say "hey, we all need these services, and we all should be doing them through service providers."
Sure, there are plenty of places where you either don't get service at all or it's sporadic: in many cases, these are the same places that don't have access to have electricity and fresh water, and people or companies that want to live or work there provide their own. I, too, have worked in places where I was only allowed one quick-burst text communication per day over radio, and where no water or electricity was available. I get it. We need special equipment for that. I carried a hundred pound of batteries and solar cells on my back in that situation.
Most of the populated, developed world isn't like that.
I'm not really sure whether your point was that we shouldn't use "always connected" methods at all, that we should be careful, or that I was ignorant for even thinking about it (your post kind of sounded like the last one), but hobbling the whole world while personal computing catches up to what we want it to be for the sake of some outlying cases that wouldn't be able to take advantage of the cluster technology sounds like requiring everyone in developed areas to have their own water treatment plant until everyone on Earth gets access to clean, running water.
But, yeah, we should be careful in how it's implemented.
I just priced a full setup like the one you're describing (AMD X2/board/memory/box, HD, 19" LCD, Keyboard and mouse) for $335 with shipping. Just thought I'd let you know there's no need to wait.
Except that the page footer says "Made on a Mac" with an Apple logo. "Sent from my iPhone." "Sent from my iPod." Who cares? Their products insert advertising. I hate Apple for that crap.
I've given up. If I bottom-post or inline-post, people just get confused and say they didn't get my message. Now I just top post and trim all but the last message off the bottom. If the last message was useless, I trim that, too.
It's in the AUR as a package for Arch. I don't even use Arch and it took me thirty seconds to find this. It's the very first page when you Google for "arch linux resynthesizer." You want to be 1337 "cause I use Arch?" Learn to Google.
"How dow I download it? I can't figure it out! This sucks!" "It's the big, fuchsia section that says 'Download.'" In this situation, it really was stupid. No fanboy required.
In most cases, homeless people are not rational thinkers at all. Most homeless people have serious mental illness problems. It's just not hard to acquire housing (at least in this country) if you're mentally whole.
I agree that most homeless people have other problems: for some, the problem is mental, but for others, it's drug related or something else. Once you lose a job and a place to live, it's very hard to get one back. Try getting a place to live without income, or a job that will cover rent without an address or phone number. It's tough to climb out of that hole.
Right now, they've only got an average contribution of $7.99, but the total raised is $112K. That's just in a few hours. I know that Lugaru is pretty much a one-man show. (I think they've actually got five official employees.) Anyway, if that $112K is divided evenly -- who knows, right? -- Wolfire Games just made $16K in a few hours. I'm willing to bet that's a record for Lugaru's sales. The business could very well see an extra $100K in sales this week, and get a number of new customers for the devs' upcoming game, Overgrowth.
The point I'm trying to make is -- the average may be low, but they make it up on volume!
QT4 uses native OS X APIs. I think you may be confusing QT3 with it.
Qt used to emulate the native look of its intended platforms, which occasionally led to slight discrepancies where that emulation was imperfect. Recent versions of Qt use the native APIs of the different platforms to draw the Qt controls, and so do not suffer from such issues.[1]
I still don't see why Apple aren't allowed to set the terms of participation in their program. If you sign up as an iphone/ipod/ipad developer, you know what you're getting into, and you know they can change their rules at any time. Don't come whining when you don't like it any more.
So basically, you're saying that anyone who develops for the iPhone is a chump and deserves what he gets when Apple screws him ("I am altering the deal. Pray I do not alter it further.")? OK. I'm no chump.

Yeahhhh. Disks, not dicks. I even previewed.
My dick is enterprising, and vibrations always increase its performance. Oh, dicks. Sorry. Forget I said anything.
RTorrent is amazingly efficient. I think you could probably run an rtorrent server on a programmable calculator if you wanted to.
Apparently, four cores isn't enough to render Slashdot.
There are far fewer transcoders that use the GPU than use the CPU, so the answer to your questions is ... any of them?

I was elaborating on his point, not calling him a troll.
Even the trolls are weak these days!
More on-topic -- what I learned from the Special Forces and Rangers: dummy cord everything to you. If you don't like cord, use a carabiner.
I hate them all.
Did the guy write it himself? No? Then the product inserted it. I didn't claim it was hidden from the user.

That's why Google invented Wave.
Take a look at Pinta. It's modeled after Paint.NET.

An overview of the native OS X ability of QT 4.5. Specific issues and differences.

That might very well be possible. A bonus is that the Android Market wouldn't disallow such apps.
It's more like Bob diddled a kid, and the case is weak, but MGBMorden hopes that Bob will be found guilty and not get off because of mental handicap.
