XP isn't crashing, explorer.exe is. That's not a web browser, or the OS. That's the file manager/desktop/taskbar program. This is a new HP that came with XP pre-installed.

I suppose that because this is a new Athlon XP 2400 made by HP that came with XP installed on it, it's all your fault. I mena, HP's fault. I mean, Microsoft's fault. Your grandmother could figure that out.
From the Mailing list archives The ACPI AML interpreter (i.e. code in directories under drivers/acpi, but not source in drivers/acpi directly) has been released by us (Intel) under the GPL. It has also been released separately under a looser license, so that other OS vendors may make use of it.
Intel wanted to have the code under a "looser" license so that they could accept patches back for use in non-GPL projects.
People often say that companies want to use the BSD license, because they want to be able to take and not give back. This is true in many cases, no doubt. In this case, Intel is also contributing back.
Could this not have been resolved with a dual GPL/Intel license, rather than with a BSD license, much like the Trolltech dual licensing scheme?
Anyone that compares a scripting languate (python) to a full programming language that also as a VM has no clue. a scripting language has minimal overhead memory requirements because it does not have much of a memory management job to do.
I don't see how that makes any sense. Python also has bytecode and a VM, and it does the same job in less memory with equivalent or better performence. It's object-oriented and performs garbage collection, as does java. What do you mean, "it does not have much of a memory management job to do"?
No, it's called "c-o-m-p-e-t-i-t-i-o-n". I own a retail store. Am I gonna post easy to find directions so that people can find my competitors? Fuck no.
"Not providing directions" is different than "making extra effort to change how it works for a browswer they don't make, and are competing with."
So, it it crappy testing? I mean, they went to all the trouble to create a different stylesheet for Opera, and it doesn't work right. Did they just guess it might work and leave it at that? Or is it something else?
What Microsft does is not often explained by stupidity, which leaves...
Well, they (1) don't give a shit about other browsers, and (2) want to destroy all competition. They're so insular, they don't bother to test with other browsers -- unlike pretty much every other company with a web presence. Arrogance.
It's like when you get pulled over, and the cop asks, "do you know how fast you were going?" or, "do you know why I pulled you over?" Lie, or say nothing -- what they want is a confession, or at least an admission. Quoting Carlin, "Never help the police."

How "well" does that Via/Cyrix 933MHz processor actually perform?
CD-Rs have a longer life than manufactured CDs, AFAIK.
No Kazaa. There are some MPEG2 files (from a Replay), though. Why does Kazaa will explorer?
The /unattended trick is interesting.

Wow, you're a moron.

Explorer on XP is a crash-happy POS. It goes downa couple of times a day. This on a brand new computer "Designed for Microsoft Windows XP".
Let's not forget that the key length can only be 40-bits, due to export restrictions
This hasn't been true for years.
My point is that Palladium is not a shipping technology.
You're wrong. The XBOX is a Palladium system. It is the "trial balloon."
The XBOX is a PC. But can you develop software for it? Not without paying for the priviledge, and agreeing to restrictive terms.
XBOX *is* the 'trial balloon' for Palladium.
Microsoft's vision for the computer is... the XBOX.

Then why does Java, which has a more sophisticated GC, use a LOT more memory?

That sounds reasonable.

Well, it's not hurt Dell. They've been collecting tax for years. The question is -- what have they been doing with it?

Good one. Funny how people still think the NYT is the "Paper of Record," like it's the fourth fucking branch of government.
What's the overlap with GStreamer? Does MAS mean we don't need GStreamer?
Sodipodi -- it's a gnome app. I've developed some SVG drawings using it, and it does okay.

How does the power consumption of this type of ARM chip compare to the Arm, StrongArm, XScale and Dragonball CPUs?
