actually, i was just about to post that whole paragraph..
For BeOS and Linux this office suite is one of their killer applications that users should be proud of. For Windows users, it still has some features left to be desired when a 'monster' like OfficeXP is already out and about. The Word.doc file format has not yet been mastered, no powerpoint compatibility, poor lettering on Glyphs, no sound or video.
Uhm.. And this is a serious contender in any market, how? And it's closed-source, so it doesn't do anyone any good as a learning tool, either?
I'm sorry, but I just don't understand the front-page hype about it. It reminds me a lot of that vector-drawing program for linux that came out a little while and didn't do much other than coredump all over the place..
This is close, but not quite correct I think. Who is the obsessive figurehead behind Mozilla, Linux, Gimp?
Mozilla, the slowest of the bunch, doesn't have one. Gimp was Mattis and Kimball, and went from.0 to 1.0 in a blaze, and has stalled since. Linux, I believe, has an obvious obsessive figurehead.
I don't fully understand your analogy - a 3 year project (WF) makes another 3 year project (Mozilla) look like a 9 year project (linux)
In three years (!) mozilla has a useable browser, but only barely. Linux changes daily. Sometimes it makes a little move backwards, but it's generally been a straight curve forward and up.
Compared to that, in three years WF is, well.. it's pretty much exactly the same as it was 2 years ago. When did the first Acorn betas start showing up?
Actually, it's not at all my intent to diss WF - you guys are working on a huge project. I'm just sayin', it's slow like death.
not to be rude or anything, but WF makes Mozilla look like linux - development is just plain glacial.
a lot of the slowness seems to center around the core design of building dozens of tiny servers to manage each part of the protocol stack, but a large part of it also can be attributed to a lack of clear goals. it seems like no one is really certain what's going to be done and how it's going to get done.
not that there's anything 'wrong' with that, but it's interesting to see the way large products take shape. it seems like the success or failure of most open source projects can be directly correlated to the amount of obsession some central figure has about getting them running.
the 2.2 VM 'feels' better for single-user use (which i disagree with) but falls down under 'heavy' load. (which, as i've pushed 2.2 to load avgs above 250, i also disagree with)
but, anyways, that's what he's saying. i found 2.4 to be much nicer in the one userland task that frequently shows off the VM - mp3 decoding under load. 2.4 never, ever skips, 2.2, with or without ESD, skipped frequently.
heh, i've been considering registering www.nationalismisnotpatriotism.com as a giant weblog rant site about.. well.. as you said, dumber america and the knee-jerk flag epidemic.
one thing that really bothers me about this is that people keep letting M$'s line of crap about how important they are to the economy influence decisions. if they sell more goods by destroying competition then, even if they employ more people in the short run, they're destroying the economy (which, being capitalist, is based on competition) over the long haul.
Here is the actual URL to the early access for Solaris 9, but, as the AC said, it sucks rocks - 1GB download, requires 2 systems, and only installs via jumpstart.
Look for solaris 9 build 49, disks 1 and 2.iso on your favorite file swapping utility and get the real thing.
man, i hate funlove. it's one of those viruses that just will not go away. when you work in a distributed organization, there are dozens of ways for something to get infected. yeah, they should have scanned the final product, but it's not all that surprising that it snuck out.
Given modern computing's advances, it's now much easier to encrypt casual traffic than it has been in the past. Have you ever considered providing https:// or some other encrypted form of access to your sites for the general public?
Slashdot Mirror
wow, it's weird to see a local rag doing such an in-depth article on programming. well done, N&O. (even weirder that it's my local rag, but, hey..)
since i know all 6 people who read this article are going to skim it for exactly the same thing i did, here it is:
To print "Ho Ho Ho" in Java, you have to write code like this: 'for (int i=0; i 3; i++)
{System.err.print("Ho ");}.'
In Ruby you write:
'3.times do print "Ho " end.'
Same thing it meant for local phone service and the desktop software OS industry. Less service, higher prices, zero choice.
Firestone tried it, and, while software bugs might not kill people, they certainly do some damage. What did it cost them, $41.5M?
How are software bugs, especially critical ones, different from design flaws in a tire?

Will 2.4 kernel with highmem support not address 64GB in a single process?
Finding a machine with 4X2Ghz itaniums isn't hard at all - they simply don't exist. If you don't want alphas, 800Mhz is as fast as the ia64 chips go.
It would help if you'd explain a little more about what you're trying to do, or post your Q to the LKML.
You don't have to be subscribed to post to it.
Also, have you considered NUMA or PVM/MPA architectures? Linux supports the ex-sequent-now-ibm NUMA-Q architecture.

and it needs an owner.
Someone claims that a program called 'zap' from IBM will do it.
It's response number 16.

for someone who INAL, you make some good points. :)
I wonder why a story this big isn't on the front page?

Erm, the ones I have certainly do support CD install.
You can get them from gnutella. The only big feature change I've seen so far is that 'df' now supports the '-h' switch.

if i use the word 'snuck' because i'm trying to sound colloquial, am i still incorrect?

Ah, man, I remember the perseids back in '92 or so.. Was watching it from a hottub in a friend's back yard.
:P
Hmm.. I wonder if any big ones will smack into us.
It never hurts to ask an employer to sponsor a trip like this. Also, check out some of the sessions going on at UNM-SF.
