Ahhh, but the freedesktop X server does not have this problem as the windows are drawn to their own little bit of off-screen RAM and then composited onto each other, thus eliminating the need for application level redraws.
It also means we now have the ability to do TRUE transparency. Soon we will be able to have a movie playing underneith an Xterm at 20% opacity! and finally anti-aliased edjes to our window manager skins:D
Also, being served a subponea hopefully will be the last straw for Linus before he files a copyright infringement suit against SCO.
I hope not, legal issues a sticky, long winded messes which take a great deal of time and money.
I hope that SCO gets squashed by IBMs legal department and Linus can keep happily coding that kick-ass kernel of his without having to get too involved with anything.
very nice troll, you sucked in a few people with it.
1) by dissagreeing with an acurate statement
2) by missusing facts to backup your incorrect statement.
worked on me!
With enlightenment you can control almost every aspect of the window manager.
The only problem with creating such a window manager is that it will be huge. Flexibility comes at a price. All advantages to having a minimalistic theme (fast, small footprint, etc) would be combatted by the bloat incurred by making the manager flexible.
I would be more than happy however, if someone could prove me wrong...
Actually we have no good broardband providers at all. I wonder when these people are going to realise that the geek market is going to be a hell of a lot larger than the "household-mother" market, which most advertising is currently aimed at.
Service is usually limited to amounts less than a gig or two a month, with either huge rate increases or severe speed caps after that amount has been exceeded.
Broadband in australia is going to take a while to be adopted....
An open source security program would be exceptionally easy to bypass, I'd think, since you'd have direct access to any encryption mechanism used.
I think you will find that most, if not all strong ecryption algorithms are in the public domain. The algorithm used should be strong enough that the key is required to decode the message, and the knowledge of the algorithm is next to useless.
Do a goole search for say DES, and you will find various articles explaining the implementation of the algorithm, and tripple DES is about as strong as you can get nowdays.

And what is that "X-Bender: " text doing there? (select all, text is at the bottom of page in background colour), it changes with every refresh.
Possible attack?

yeah, but the longhorn one suffers a lot from JPEG compression.....

As apposed to c++ programmers?
Ummm, I don't think that this exploit is caused by the use of outlook, but by a weakness created trying to interface outlook with Hotmail.
The spammers can now use that interface with hotmail to script the sending of spam.
The use of outlook is not the issue here, the implementation of DAV with Hotmail is. If no one used outlook, this problem would still exist.

I'm not up with all the various slang in other nations, so no one may get this joke.

And now, something that no "Yuppy" should be without....
Not true, the 970 is a Desktop processor, and must be evaluated in that context.
The fact that it will kick ass over most 64bit processors is good, but 64 bit processors will not rule the desktop market for a while yet...
...and as the processors become faster and faster, speed becomes less of an issue.
When you can compile the kernel or compress a movie in 2 mins, who will really care that it can be done in 1?
The only reason for getting the 4 gig over the 2 would be to have the ability to play your games at the cinematic detail level.
hahah, I love how this was modded as redundant
:P

No, unfortunately we have AOL as well, and MSN.

These boots disks rock, really nice for getting CDRom's and network cards to work.
It is great to have 1 bootable CD that I can take to any computer, with whatever hardware and have a ghost session started in a matter of seconds!
Is it against the spirit of "open source" to deny artists of the ability to protect their work?
