    What compiler does?

  2. Re:Before you speak ... on GCC's Response To Red Hat · · Score: 2

    The fucking compiler is *fine*. It supports the fucking core language better than nearly any other compiler in existence. True, its standard library is missing a few things, BUT you can download stlport or libstdc++v3 to fix that.

    Check your facts, troll.

  3. Re:gcc was dropping the ball... on GCC's Response To Red Hat · · Score: 3

    It works fine, with a few caveats (e.g., std::stringstream). You can alway use STLPort or libstdc++v3 anyway.

    Also, that C code is probably broken code that gcc 2.7.x just happend to accept.

  4. Re:gcc was dropping the ball... on GCC's Response To Red Hat · · Score: 2

    C++ *is* working "super well" in 2.95.2, certainly better than it did in 2.7.x

    The only reason 2.7.x would accept code that 2.95.2 wouldn't would be because that code was illegal C++.

  6. Re:Article says "New Compiler" on Red Hat 7.0 Coming On Monday · · Score: 2

    The kernel compiles fine with 2.95.x. Mine is, anyway. There were some old issues with 2.0.x that involved the old 2.7.x compiler underoptimizing and allowing some code that should have been optimized away exist anyway. 2.2.x and 2.4.x do not suffer from this problem, and patches exist against 2.0.x to solve the problem with that version.

    Why don't you post this *once* to Kuro5hin? It can then be modded up or down by the community. It would at least give people a chance to comment rationally on it.

    IANAL, I believe that this would be termed libel or slander, no? They *are* claiming things which are patently false. They are free to remove it, if they want, but they must provide a real reason instead of "offensive lyrics."

  12. Re:The Arrogance of the Techno-Elite (Moderate Dow on Are We Ready For Broadband Internet Access? · · Score: 2

    I consider myself a geek, and I too am dismayed at the high level of arrogance displayed here. The notion of having a "privilege" for a connection is absurd!

    Travel back to '92. "Imagine that someday we might have 56k links to every home. This would obviously saturate the network. Forget the possability of DoS attacks against those poor 1200 baud modem users --- should these people be given the privilage of having this kind of access to a public network?"

    This is EXACTLY what this is, and anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't been around long enough to see the progression of technolgy.

    Mandrake and Redhat are no longer related. Mandrake just happens to be the most current of all the linux distributions I've seen. Most of the beta testing is done by people who set up cron jobs to download the source and compile every night I'd imagine. :)

    Mandrake is *not* Redhat simply because it uses rpms. That's like saying Corel is Debian because it uses debs.

    No. You can do either. -mcpu produces the above behavior, but march produces code that will only run on that processor. Mandrake uses the latter.

    That depends. -mcpu=blah will produce code optimized for blah but that will run on any i386. -march=blah, on the other hand, will produce code that only runs on blah. I believe Mandrake uses the latter (and other optimizations, like -ffast-math and -funroll-all-loops).
