he means leave bittorrent running after the file is done downloadinng so his connection isn't left carrying the weight alone. It doesn't mean that you shouldn't download it.
VMWare gets its speed over Bochs by emulating as little as possible. Mac On Linux uses the same technique to run Mac OS 9 or X on my iBook inside of Linux.
Boch runs in OS X, but it's rather slow without the plex86 extensions that are X86-specific.
I use my sharp zaurus for C and Python development regularly. I plan to cross compile G++ in the near future.
Nearly anything I need in Linux I can just cross compile from my iBook or server. I've got the necessary development tools, a decent (if not perfect) keyboard, a good text editor, and the same console evironment that I'm used to. 64mB of usable (non-ramdisk) ram also helps.
Palms are organizers and WinCE devices are toys. Stick Linux on it and make it a dev platform.
I use one as a secure backup server. It runs OBSD. Same old 600mB hard disk, 32mB/ram, and slow as hell sun4c architecture. The only upgrade is a 100mbit/s SBus ethernet card I through in to avoid AUI->token_ring->CAT5 conversion headaches.
My school still has two 486's running NT4sp3 as the only proxy servers connecting the entire student network to the internet. If you ever need to cut dual T1's down to 30kB/s, this is the way to do it. ("An NT server can be run by an idiot, and usually is.")
But it's always fun to use a floppy tape drive for swap, and pass mem=8M to the kernel. Fire up KDE3 and wait for some laughs.
Anything you seriously need fast access to should be on a ramdisk, backed up often through rsync's copy feature to a slower medium. Good excuse to get a Sun Fire 15k with 576GB of ram.
by developing enough weapons of mass destruction to destroy the entire planet several times over, and failing to use them for fear of them working, we ended up hurting only our own population.
Now, we have developed uranium-eating bacteria. Bacteria that will also eat through uranium containers, allowing the substances to contaminate surounding land with the radioactivity of uranium, if not urandium itself.
I have a better idea. Let's dump all of our used uranium in Iraq in exchange for oil. Then we can get back to developing oil-eating bacteria.
But not even scholars should be allowed knowledge about the mysterious "shit" key and its extra functions in Windows. That's just hiding behind acadamia for the purposes of terrorism.
we'd just walk 30 miles in the snow to the local light plug, that's what we called power outlets back then. Then we'd run copper wire all the way to our phone, and send some through the line to melt the telco's links between me and them.
It only worked if you tied onions to your shoelaces, cause that was the style at the time...
the store shouldn't be able to refuse to sell games to minors any more than they can refuse to sell items to various racial groups or genders.
If the parents want to enforce the ratings, they are the ones that have the authority to do so. If they refuse to, then the state has no right to step in and mandate that decision.
my iBook's firmware crashes (reset time and everything) if it's left closed while running for a few minutes. Later iBooks don't have this firmware bug, but the heat from the hard drive warps the screen.
One unexpected benifit of switching was the increase in the speed with which I can use it. I just spin my mouse wheel, and I'm on another desktop or a window has been (un)shaded. There is no slow config app, I can do everything from the menus.
Getting people to switch from one windowing system to another is not easy. Apple accomplished it by providing usable, if lousy, backward compatibility and a complete OS change. Microsoft accomplished it by half-ass backward compatibility that was dropped within a few years. None of the window managers will take the lead if they don't provide network transparency(why X rules), virtual terminals(Aqua doesn't respect them), a wide variety of possible window managers (I'm not leaving OpenBox), and a healthy supply of visible advantages (more than just eyecandy) and new applications.
I really think that X can be extended to what we want. Maybe someone should draft another revision of the protocol. There's no reason to start from scratch, and it's a waste to do so in the hopeless attempt to avoid bloated libraries and gain an alpha channel.
Does anyone know of a laptop that can run while closed (warwalking), has SXGA or better resolution, is reasonable light, and doesn't rely on centrino or other non-Linux garbage?
On a relevant enote, it might be worthwhile for them to toss solid-state storage on the motherboard through a usb interface. 256mB wouldn't significantly add to costs, but could garuntee that important data would survive.
I suspect that the majority of damaged files on laptops occurs as a result of power failures rather than as a result of laptop frizbee.
It turns out that their admins can't (figure out how to) whitelist a single IP address.
Personally, I'd go with assymetric crypto rather than an allow list to prevent users from spamming from unpriviledged shell accounts. An allow list is a start, and ISPs such as (those bastards at) AOL should be allowing mail from any system that has an MX entry on its domain, provided that domain hasn't been blacklisted (for legitimate reasons).
If spam goes away, it'll be as devastating as an asteroid hitting Earth. Jobs will be lost, and America will become a third world nation. Didn't we cover this earlier today?
I think telling them to go to hell would take more than 1/10^9 bits. Then again, I could be wrong.
"Out of 10^9 non-unique values for bit 0, one selected at random was 1. This means that there is a possiblity of less than 1/10^891 that our message is 'Go to hell.' Off the record, that's what it is."

When talking about a computer is punishable by more years in prison than manslaughter, the system is wrong by any damn standards.

Taxing certain cell phone handsets just seeds rebellion. Outlawing them must result in profit.

You guys just keep bashing SCO as if they have no evidence, despite all the code that has been stolen from them by IBM and SGI.

for those of you with MCSE certification, please be advised that does not count as "Previous Knowledge."
The same goes for "learning facilitaters" employed in the public school system.

I rip every disc I attain (none in the past two years for boycott reasons) to secure my fair use right to a backup.
Even under the bullshit of the DMCA, one has the right to reverse engineer or bypass copy protection schemes to excersize his fair use rights.
The exception of course, occurs when one is a minor in a foreign nation that has extradition agreements to the USA.

We had to tell them we replaced the "chips" so they didn't think we were forcing them into a complete upgrade. (A $30 "complete upgrade")
