To say it failed is a bit harsh. From what I remember it was successful in some circles for quite a while. It had it's use in the early 90's, but it's long gone now. I'll miss it.:)
They're just trying to get people to buy more canadian made products? The US put huge terrifs on cars to try and promote more people to buy more US made cars. The situations aren't that different.
And nobody post something about US made cars and Canadian made digital storage sucking as the similarity..:)
I'm all for reforming the policy on using nuclear weapons. But some of the things in the article really bother me. For example, the US's policy (someone correct me if i'm wrong) is to only use nuclear weapons as a last resort. This is why we didn't just nuke Vietnam instead of waiting it out for years.
Nukes weren't made to target battlefield situations, once the war is over the battlefield dissapears but the radiation doesn't. Which means innocent people would end up feeling this one way or another. And isn't that what started the hate in the arab community against the US in the first place?
Maybe it's time Americans stop praising bush for all he did right and focus on now. I'm not saying that he did a terrible job leading us through September 11th, in fact I think he did a great job. He's a great moral leader for our country, he keeps everyones hopes up. But politically with things like this, I'm not so sure about that.
That's true. But I have compiled the KDE3 code and it worked fine. I think for that he's reffering to the cvs code.
I've compiled a few things vis cvs and had one or two compilation problems. But that's to be expected, or so I thought.
KDE3 is early beta software.. Take a look at his first comments
1) Packages missing from the release entirely (1) 2) Rampant compile problems 3) Last-minute changes to build requirements that cannot be met by many developers without an operating system upgrade (2) 4) Many outstanding bugs (3)
of course there's going to be problems with the software.
no one has made a post about the development of Woody and there are a lot more problems in it than KDE3. isn't this all part of the sotware development proccess? (emphasis on development)
Why should software be any different than any other product on the market? But I do think software makers should be able to protect themselves somehow.
If someone is mowing the lawn and a stick flies up and takes out an eye the lawn mower company isn't liable if there is a warning somewhere saying "must wear eye protection while operating". Maybe a "must back up all data" in the software agreement would cover the software companies somewhat.. but then again, who reads the agreements in the first place?
I can see lindows *maybe* being used as a "intro to linux" thing, maybe... But the name and the fact that it has a "super easy install", plus it is linux (more or less) is going to attract.. you guessed it. script kiddies.
AMD has a history of making good processors really cheap, while Intel is the opposite. But still, most servers still run Xeons because they're the cheaper of the "high end" processors. If AMD released a 64bit processor that didn't cost ~2500 (that the Itanium costs) there wouldn't be much Intel could do to regain the market they'd lose.
I suppose AMD's Hammer would cost around the price of a P5:)
If AOL were to buy them, they would become very large and an obvious competitor for MS. But AOL has a way of tainting things that they touch seems to turn into an AOL advertisement.
You can be sure if they do buy redhat, the lilo boot screen will have a tiny AOL ad in the corner. Could this and the fact that they're working on an AOL linux client be coincidence? I think now.
I'd like to see a company take on microsoft, but I'd really rather Redhat (my favorite linux based company) not merge with AOL (pretty much my whole families most hated ISP) to get there.
I always thought that Redhat was doing a great job on their own. Whenever someone starts up a server it's not a question of whether or not they're going to run linux on it. Of course maybe that has something to do with the recent worms crawling through the internet lately.
There are a lot of advantages to smaller cases. The biggest I can think of is air circulation with minimal power. I mean, let's face it, to build a full size ATX case made out of aluminum is going to cost a lot more than making a say.. 6 inch by 6 inch box out of aluminum. And a small fan would be able to circulate air incredibly well, for a fraction of the power that it would take to circulate air effectively in a larger case.
Right now I think the only problem with cases (after seeing the motherboard in the previous article) is there's no way to use modern expansion cards in the case. Not because the case isn't large enough, most cards would certainly not exceed the limits of the smaller box, but because of the way the expansion slots are placed on the board.

I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but maybe it was bad accounting practices?
Wouldn't you consider loss of data a damage?

If you thought it was bad enough when drivers were distracted by cellphones, just imagine what something like this could do.
