The fact that nuclear reactor cannot explode like an a-bomb, doesn't mean that it cannot produce the same (or even deadlier) consequences. Ask the poor guys who covered up Chernobyl's power plant melt-down, most of them got cancer almost imminently and there were some who were "working" on top of the power plant (!) just days later. Radioactive particles that went up in the air travelled thousands of kilometers before falling down on the soil.
Its the OS thingy that manages resources (including CPU(s) and memory) on your pc. It also balances threads and processes among your cpus, and quickly switches threads on the cpu if there is a contention for it.
Monopolies are *not* illegal. Its their abuse that is. Say if you sell stuff A, that competes with other dealer's stuff B, and everyone buys A (because its a better product) - you would get a monopoly even if you didn't reach for it.
AFAIK *BSD UFS is still unable to cope with bad sectors. It leaves it to the disk controller to allocate replacement sectors for the bad ones. And the disk is potentially unusable if there's at least on bad sector.
I'm testing this scheduller now (option SCHED_ULE in kernel config) on GNOME desktop. You can really tell the difference, feels much "smoother" and "faster".
Some smart people argue, that since Neptune has a tiny amount of heat=energy in itself, there is very little thermal friction, and thus winds can reach such high speeds.
How valuable? In some sense you might have address space of more than 4G on 32bit machines. Dunno if it doesn't require much involvement to make it work.

I expect MS Word's exported ODF files to validate against the ODF Schema. That would be the thing that restricts them of using the extend'n'embrace.
And in the process kill all other of your windows on your desktop. Nice.

That would add additional complexity to the spacecraft, especially as it was not expected for the rovers to last past the period of 90 days.
Hey, how could this worm do so much damage if in a sane system it only gets run with the permissions of apache daemon?
Also thank you everyone who offered to host my site and also gave suggestions on how to reduce my bandwidth usage.
Not much work there in case that driver stuff is written in a valid and portable C, apart from proprietary hardware specific to said architecture.
Didn't Samba team refused to licence (or whatever the term is correct within the GPL terms) to bundle their software with SCO products ?

Screw 2.6, we want more crashes, more debugging. Everyone in their right mind is rushing after 2.7!

Just my 2c.
Hans. How come, with such a featurefull filesystem, I can't tune a fish? :)

Hey, all you need here is a decent port system such as FreeBSD's or Gentoo's portage. Not much to see here, i guess.
On the other hand compiling unpatched source with experimental optimization flags for your system is just asking for trouble.
No, Warsaw is not in Russia, it's in Poland.
No, it's the K6 that got its roots from Nx586.
I just wonder how much we might have "contaminated" already. Dozen of probes have been to Mars and Venus.

Sometimes people don't need a reason. They need a goal.
Damn, I wish it were released at all. Braben's vaporware :(
