Then you haven't ever used mandrake. It's even worse.
That being said I think the parent should be moded funny. IT should be troll.
Why? Because redhat explained their choice of gcc. It's not because they felt like it. But because they wanted the most up to date and standard compliant gcc possible.
Now I don't know if that's 100% true but I don't see why they should use a broken GCC for no reason.
Mandrake hasn't been a repackage of redhat for sometime now.
It's still suppose to be redhat compatible. But I can tell you that it's not as stable as redhat. Mozilla crashes on mandrake all the time while redhat for me hasn't had a single mozilla crash yet. Sigh....
Not really. IF you go to the routing howto website http://lartc.org/ you can find this really simple way of doing the samething.
Personally i didn't really care about getting twice the bandwidth only sometimes. So when i did my sharing of one cable and one dsl between 7 housemates i decided just to route people over each link depending on their usage habit. All the web browers people went on my line and all the downloaders got the slower dsl. And of course i bandwidth shaped so people had soft limits and I had no limits. So when i want bandwidth it's out of the way people! All in all it worked quite well.
how the heck is this suppose to work over two connections? Isn't the two BB connections of idividual ips? Wouldn't that mean either way you can only have a connection on one line at a time not over two?
In may ways this doesn't do anything i can't do with iproute2 already.

Eh sorry sir but these ones you don't even have to take out of you wallet. My very tall friend just pass his ass wallet and all over the scanner when he goes pass the gate.
The dude doesn't even need to take his wallet out.
But hey at least with flex office if you stalk your geek girl you might just be able to get into the seat next to her. As oppose to being accross the office and making trips to the water cooler.
Just sounds like another half cooked idea. What's going ot happen is instead of a great thing happening for all.
I am sure as users we'll all benifit. I mean what could be better an actual "standard" no more figureing out why it doesn't work for you while someone else swear the program works.
The problem lies here with the LSB idea. The reason redhat had gain such a foothold in corperate markets is because they have different versions of their system out on offer. Each doing a different thing each costing a different amount. I am pretty sure Redhat might eventually make their downloadable verion and general user verions all LSB complient. But if those companies thinks that by putting themselve under the same distro they are going to gain market share where it counts they are mistaken.
Companies goes for Redhat not because their distro is better but because they have the biggest support structure and they specific distribution targeted for business needs.
Umm concidering what you can do with FPGAs now soon they'll have to get a law passed to controls those. Or people are just going ot download some code and program their own converters.
At the rate our government is willing to spend on new equipment it should be eight or 4 as some pointed out good but very naked soldiers.
Umm concidering how I was told that a lot of girls are at the Royal Military College ( just down the road from Queen's U) maybe they are trying to improve their public image..:) Like make love not war..:)
The fact that Nvidia driver releases seems to give extra performance everytime.
Now I have a question about that. Sure your initial divers might be a bit rushed and you might optimize more as you write newer versions maybe add new features. But i can't help but wonder if the drivers were part of the plan?
Think about it... Nvidia is the only big graphic firm not the have open source drivers. ATI doesn't have open source but they let you have the docs. And Matrox's drivers been open sourced for a while. What gives? Because they are afraid of info getting out? What info?
Did they use IP from another company without lience? Or did they write drivers that are slower on purpose?
Sounds crazy eh? Like those people who thinks up all those conspiracy theories. But think about it.. if you wanted to built a reputation with gamers.. the best is to make the best chip. But gamers live for the upgrades. And the dry spells between new products what do you do? Umm how about a few cycle wasters in the driver so now you can release newer verions of drivers with "improvements" in speed. Now with a few more fps people feel like a million bucks and cheer the Nvidia name. How easy is that?
The idea does sound crazy but it's possible. Clearly the frame rates were possible as we see from Nvidia's drivers delivering higher frame rates. The actual max fps is limited by hardware. Ati did the deed with the drivers that forced lower quality to improve quake3 benchmarks. So in theory at least nvidia could well have designed a upgrade path for it's drivers.
As another pesudo fact lets look at what happen to the drivers after 3dfx bite the dust. They stop giving out more that much improvments. You can say well nvidia had all that time to improve the code base so they have hit the ceilling. Sure for parts of the code. But we are talking new generation of different chipsets. And i am assuming that speed critical parts of the drivers are done in assembly.. so with the architecture changes in the system chipset and the CPU (such as AMD's new hardware prefetch) these speed critical parts should need rewriting for max performance.
AS such my long written piece here is just speculation. So don't start flaming me but lets talk about this in a civil way ok?
Now.. concidering these things are small. My question is how much of an effect would this have? You don't feel radiation hitting you... So for the earth a partical of this mass but so small and traveling so fast should have minimal effect. So how strong where these earth quakes?
Also such a massive partical wouldn't it cause a great deal of gravitational effect? Should those grav wave detectors have been more useful to detect such things?
Sept 11 didn't make people any smarter. No they sent off the army to a country that has more problems then just the taliban. Beat up the taliban and now what? Try to prevent civil war from starting up again? I think the situation there has great potential of becoming another festering pocket of trouble ready to burst uppon the world again.

They used to have a verion of UNIX remember? Not to mention they used to do all their work on unix based stations.
Mandrake hasn't been a repackage of redhat for sometime now.

While the linux standard base is a great idea. United Linux is just dumb. Why don't they just merge?

I think that's not the point.
The point rather i think is that there's nothing on salon that a greater number of people would pay to read.
I know some people love that site. But i personally don't find it all the interesting.
How many people ask why this shows which processor is faster.
Q: Dear Bill I like that blue screen with the weird numbers and letter that I get every so often from windows. How do I get that with linux?
A: Install Windows it's the only way to get our patent pending BSO!
Do you guys watch @discovery.ca a few weeks after it'a aired?
This story was on that show like last month.
No but you might be brain damanged.

The only time i got to listen to a tube amp was at the ECE open house day at my uni.
It was playing from a cd out to some nice headphones. The thing is it had this annonying quite loud white noise. I didn't find it impressive at all.
A flock of horny young engineers.
Can you imagine that kind of situation?

Just out for the day's steam letting eh?
Cause i don't see what caused this rant..
Or it is Game Pride week? Where's the parade?
Where's the dreamcast now? It was better then the PS1 but where goes it now?
VHS vs betamax.. Who won? Who was technically better?
Microsoft has the money but i wonder how much it is willing to bleed.

how about?
I don't know who can claim prior art to the universe.
Process and or mechanism by which universal physical effects/phenomenons is created, controlled, explained or in anyway used or described.
Big bang is mine mine mine!! BaHahahaha! Now if only big bang is getting laid...
Now.. concidering these things are small. My question is how much of an effect would this have? You don't feel radiation hitting you... So for the earth a partical of this mass but so small and traveling so fast should have minimal effect. So how strong where these earth quakes?

A patent for taking human lives?
Then you can sue the US armed force.. Which would cause quite a stir if you get it into the right media channels. With the "War on Terror" and all.
