If the widgets are not avialable on the remote machine, Windows sends it to the client. Use a Windows 2000 machine to remote connect to an XP box with the default styles, you can still see them. however, if you disable the XP styles (classic w2k styles instead), the performance is MUCH MUCH faster.

Windows Terminal services & Windows XP's Remote desktop does this. It is easy for Microsoft to implement this because you only have one widget set to use.
But, it would be very very cool if XDMCP sessions could automagicly figure this out.
fat32 is non-journaling, NTFS is. What would you rather use for audio recording, video capture and the likes?
Journaling in NTFS is done a lot differently than journaling in ext3 though. I'm not sure how journaling in XFS works, but i would presume since that FS is fairly mature, it is as fast if not faster than NTFS.
Maybe 3-4 years ago when harddisks were not as fast as they are today, the filesystem would of been a big factor. but right now my two WD800JB's on my Serial ATA RAID controller in RAID-0 do about 100megs/sec read and 85-90write, sustained, as reported by sisoft sandra. Can editing video in realtime need transfer rates more than 60megs/sec ?
Not that he's wasted >34 hours of his life waiting for a store opening. Not the release of a G5, not to be the first 10 in a store and get a new Mac, Not for any other reason except that it is a NEW store.
Not that he's horded around different local shops to get power for his iBook and still maintain his airport linkup. even left his 'post' by driving around the block trying to charge his iBook batteries. Visiting other stores to get food, drink, and horde electricity from them.
Not that the group of them where there for 13 hours before anyone else showed up

From my URL above. "Doubling the amplifier power only increases the spl by 3db, a small but clearly audible level increase. Since most people perceive a doubling of volume to be around a 10db increase in spl, amplifier power would need to be increased 10 times! "
you replied with the following, "The point I made is that although 6 dB represents a drop in the power level by half"
Which is wrong, doubling the energy in the source equates to a 3db increase in sound, which is just above noticable levels.
having spent a good 8-9 years in the car audio world, i can also say that to quiet a case, you dont need to close up vents or anything but to deaden panels (i.e. dynamat) and keep them from transmitting the sounds.
There are far more factors than just "use cooking oil"
a few i can think of, 1) Water is a far far better heat conductor than Cooking Oil. There was an article on overclockers.com about it. 2) Since water has a low viscosity, the pump works less and more water flows across the waterblock and radiator. Dont forget to add some additive to stop corrosion.

Nope, Gentoo is a source based distribution. It simply downloads the source tarball from a Gentoo mirror (if it cant get it from there, it will usually download from the authors website) and execute the ebuild to do./configure, make and make install.
For instance, emerge dev-sources, and you will download from www.kernel.org. if you emerge xfree86, it will download the 7 or 8 tarball packages from www.xfree86.org (or the gentoo mirror). Would you go KDE and download kdelibs.tar.gz and expect to ONLY compile the Konsole application without the rest of kdelibs ?
Perhaps there is a --konsole-only./configure option for kdelibs that will ONLY compile the konsole ? if there is then for that package they could provide those type granularity and control.
Many people are so used to the grainularity that binary distros can provide they forget what compile from source really is. They also seem to pin this as a failing of Gentoo and Portage as if it is their fault. That the authors of the applications didnt write this kind of control in their applications.

The nForce2 has 800MB/s on the north-south link and Canterwood only has 266MB/s.
heh, i got how all that connects together confused.
if i remember correctly, the IDE, PCI, SATA, USB and other bus paths connect to the south bridge. if the south/north bridge link isnt very fast, that puts a hurt on the whole system.
Some Northbridges have USB and Network interfaces connected directly to it, along with the RAM interface and AGP interfaces.
As for the 1,2,4,8, etc bit comment, although the link may be 16 bits wide, it only sends 1 bit per clock cycle (from what i've read on hypertransports website http://www.hypertransport.org/). I beleive this is similar to having more pipelines in a CPU.
Even though its a 32bit CPU, only having 1 pipeline is going to put a hurt on instruction processing.
But, the new chipset provides wider pathways for everything on the system bus. your IDE channels have wider paths for data transfer. your PCI bus is wider. most current technology has a limit of only transfering around ~120 mb/sec across the whole PCI bus (which included the IDE channels).
AGP was brought around to provide faster access to the CPU/northbridge than PCI.
AMDs HyperTransport technology (which my motherboard has) widens the Bus paths between the south bridge and north bridge to 4 bits (from a 1 bit path and hypertransport can scale to 64 bit wide paths!). now all of my PCI, IDE, SATA, Onboard Audio paths are 4 bit wide capable of going at almost 800 mb/sec
This is what is going to put Intel back as the performance market leader... until that hypertransport starts getting into the 8 and 16 bit wide bus pathways....
AT&T used to charge huge tarrifs for people conneting non-AT&T equipment to the network.
The person who replied to your post is correct in what he/she had said, but not correct in a reply.
The case you are refering to is the carterphone case in 1968 (started in 1966).
summary: "The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) hands down The Caterphone Decision, which opens up the Bell Telephone network to equipment manufactured and approved from other groups besides Bell Telephone. This decision allows devices such as modems to be connected to the telephone network in the 1970's"
URL http://timeline.textfiles.com/1968/
This is probably the single most important act that has ever occoured in the telephone industry.
It is interesting to note however, that several years before the case the telecom idustry recorded, 1963 - - U.S. Telephones total 80,969,000; world's total reaches 159,200,000.
Because only Microsoft has source code to most of the files in system32. Microsoft compiles them and distributes them in patches.
it is far simpler to distribute a new 300k shell32.dll file than every file that references shell32.dll (which is just about every exe).
The authors of software (not MS) include their own versions of shell32.dll, mfc42.dll, etc because they dont know how to package software (EVERY Windows system requires those two files) and they wrote their app on an older version of Windows (i.e. the mfc for w2k will not work on XP). Of course that goes back to the authors of Windows software need to use their heads when packaging software and NOT INCLUDE files that are already in system32.
but then, we also must not forget those people that hack and reverse engineer shell32, mfc42, etc to add their own extensions into it, rather than creating a seperate DLL that hooks into mfc42 (which is very easy thing to do per MSDN Magazine, not sure which issue)

in the article, it states that the w2k CD cannot read or write to the registry and the SAM files (password files among other things)
if you boot a w2k CD on an XP install, you can not change anyones password.
from the article itself..
News flash: this is expected, and desirable, behavior. The Win2k RC can't read the XP registry, so it thinks it is a corrupted Win2k installation. When it can't verify the SAM, it bails out to the console.
The NT Kernel can run on any platform. what makes it run on other platforms is the HAL (hardware abstraction layer) and its associated support files.
If you read the article, NT was not designed to run on the Intel x86 processor but a MIPS processor instead. However, because MIPS was not meeting the NT scheduale( *Note the MIPS was not the origintal destination of the NT kernel but another Intel chip that never made it to production), they looked into the Intel x86 platform. because of how they wrote the kernel and the HAL, it took them a couple weeks to have a working kernel on the x86 platform.
This is what makes the NT Micro-kernel so different.
you can port the NT kernel to any platform simply by writing a new HAL for it. (which you cant do because MS has the docs needed)

Things broke yes, but it was a very easy fix (although it required you to re-compile your whole system to get the benifits of gcc 3.x).
what was the fix?? emerge glibc and gcc-config (both which should of been installed in the first place). logout, and log back in.
when they updated gcc to the 3.x versions they created a new path layout and env variables so you could compile applications on either 2.95 or 3.x
What i find funny is you left gentoo because of the gcc upgrade and then went to debian which uses an older version of gcc.
