Oooh, I forgot - I am one of the those ATT customers that were cut off. My experience with Excite? - what a crappy customer service that was and how restrictive and intrusive they were. I'm happy to be away from them.
I looked at the benchmarks. The nVidia boards
are somewhere in the middle of the pack and
the diference is not noticable. The MCI board
looks particularly good. Good work nVidia!
By the way there was a benchmark of Linux
kernel compilation done under... Win2000.
Hm, Tom needs a clue.
Contrary to the premature rumors, the open source
movement is going more and more popular.
Now of course, there are companies that dream about
getting big and strong and concur the world all
for themselves using open source.Some of them
move to closed source chasing that dream... only
to desapear and no one to hear about them again.
That is right - when was the last time you heard
of a prosperous company that started open and
switched to closed?? If things are not going well,
an open source company should think of scaling
down the operations, change in the product and
improving their relations with the comunity.
It is that simple. In the world of open source,
small is beautifull.
but gcc is not the best option for an app that needs to be highly optimized Hmmm, how about a kernel OS, or a bunch of other things.
Well for the libraries I agree, besides STL, there is realy nothing that is readily available.
And it is not enough. Oh wait, that was the original question (and also why I am reading this
thread)

You have to factor in the cost of continued operations though. It is not that simple. Me thinks, Excite is going to loose big time.

Happy open-sourcing!
