It's not the end of 2001 yet?! What about the next week and a half? Has that been deemed 2002, and I missed the announcement? Last I heard, Christmas and New Years Eve were still considered part of the calendar year that they fall in! Maybe it's just that Linux follows a different timeline than the rest of the world.
The New Athlon XPs support SSE and will run Photoshop fine as will the new Durons. For a sub $1000
dollar system the new Durons are an excellent choice.
Why? Athlons are at a better price/performance point in the curve.
"What's more, many potential clients simply haven't recognized Linux as a viable platform. But that is beginning to change. With major vendors such as IBM and Sun Microsystems touting Linux's capabilities, solution providers now should be able to demonstrate the platform's practicality to customers."
I don't remember hearing Sun push Linux more than Solaris. I actually thought that Sun was more interested in selling it's own Unix products...
Wow! That sounds like modular programming. Imagine.. having separate parts of the program do different things, and being able to test and debug each individually..
Surely you realize that -every- language implements this fundamental concept. We don't need to have separate languages to do this!?!?

It would seem to me that Apple should be really happy that people are working on something that would allow their device to work on non-MacOSX OS's. Especially open-source.
Let's see.. I make product Z with software to interface to it on my OS. I make lots of money between selling product Z, both from that product and from those consumers who think it can only work with my OS and buy my OS/hardware. Then, someone else (with me spending nothing for development) puts out software that gets product Z to work with some other OS, then someone else, then someone else... Pretty soon, everybody is buying my product Z, and I had only an initial investment in development product Z and an interface for my OS. I'm rich.
Unless... you make a cool product and rely on the subscription to connect that product to the internet, it's only designed purpose. You lose money when someone figures out how to use it in another way.
How about the netcraft survey? Apache the most used webserver software? It's probably running on Unix machines. That's not a large installed base that would find defects in the (OS) software?
If Linux is free, it's not a surprise if it occupies the lowest spending priorities for companies. They virtually
don't have to spend any money at all!

You beat me to it again! Damn, I wish people would learn how to use correct grammar.

Let's use StarCraft as our computer-based decision maker for who wins the war. I want to be the Zerg.
How about AMD CPUs?

If you don't believe in "this fuck", don't use any of the stuff he produces/maintains. Nobody's forcing you to, you know.
"Opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one."
Duron 1.1=$72
Athlon 1.13=$76
Athlon 900=$54

Plus, for compute-intensive stuff (like image manipulation), the bigger cache on an Athlon definitely helps.

Have you ever heard of shared-copy-on-write executables?

That's what I say!

Technically, this is incorrect grammar.
You can make it look (and "work") a lot like something else, if you know how and want to spend the time. Most Joe Schmoe idiots don't.
If you want to relearn some interface, learn something else that doesn't crash often.
Please don't abuse the English language anymore.
