why is it still offtopic if its been modded back up?
Though it has been modded up more times than it has been modded down, it turned out those who modded down agreed on offtopic, while those modding up could not agree, so somebody said funny while other said interesting. In total the most frequent moderating thus was offtopic. The exact counts is a mystery, 20% is missing. Possibly the moderations have been: 2*offtopic, 1*interesting, 1*funny, 1*underrated.
surf to your mouse site and ask stuff like 'how many clicks have I done since whenever'.
That information could as well be handled by your computer. No reason to put a webserver in the mouse for that. For some time I have had a page telling when I last used my mouse and keyboard.
And how do they expect anyone to do this if they won't release documentation for it?... Why don't they simply recompile it for XFree86 4.3.0 now?
Is it about time somebody reverse engineer the 4.2.0 driver?
I think I want to ask them how I can get documentation.
If they don't want to release it, I can legally reverse
engineer their old driver.

I didn't know that dns.com points towards my (or your) own computer, but in effect, yes, it does!
Now it is about time to tell all those kidies who are the gratest wannabe crackers, that now they have the chance to become famous. Just DDoS dns.com, caus' they as all us others know how important dns is to the internet.

You can by writing it all yourself, or by standing behind the author as he writes it carefully watching. Of course that is not an option for any large project.
It's like saying that because IP is covered by a TCP/IP spec, that IP is really TCP/IP.
I'm under the impression that whoever says TCP/IP in most cases does not know what he is talking about. If he knew what he was talking about, he would have said IP, ICMP, UDP, TCP, or whatever protocol name was appropriate.
So why did Marcelo say he was planning 2.4.22 in a few weeks?
Maybe because he think the last release took too long time. I guess a lot has been happening between 2.4.20 and 2.4.21. A lot of changes followed by a lot of small patches to fix what was broken does take time to setle down. Maybe he doesn't want as much to be going on before the next release. It could mean that some things will just have to wait till 2.4.23. But if you really want to know what has been going on between 2.4.20 and 2.4.21, you can just read the Changelog.
SCO is well on its way to being the most hated company in the IT sector. Microsoft, step aside
Maybe SCO can suceed on becomming the most hated company. But I don't think they suceed on becomming the most dangerous company however hard they try. If SCO loose the case, there'll probably be nothing left. So we can laugh at them and go back hating Microsoft.
I don't think so.
It doesn't matter what you think. I tell you the.src.rpm contains the original.tar.bz2 file, and that is a fact. I even verified that file together with the.sign file from kernel.org. Anybody who doesn't believe me can install the.src.rpm and see for themselves that I'm right.
Red Hat at least puts in a lot of small modifications to the actual source code, sometimes back-patching fixes for security updates, or making changes to integrate better with certain applications.
Yes, that is why there are also patches in the.src.rpm file. The latest kernel 2.4.20-18.9 contains 152 patches. The.src.rpm contains 189 files in total:
I'm using KDE 3.1 on RedHat Linux 9. It is performing quite well, but I rarely use the file browser. I just tried the file browser in a directory with lots of images it didn't behave nearly as bad as what you have experienced. I do however recall the previous version being very bloated, in particular if you enabled all the bells and whistles.
At least it's not "uhh.. reboot." or "re-install windows" or "update your drivers." Like you would get on a Windows forum.
When a Windows user would have rebooted, I log out and log in again. When a Windows user would have reinstalled Windows, I just reboot the computer. If I still have problems after rebooting, I use df to find out which partition is full.
Having said that, I agree that it's highly unlikely that the patch will cleanly install against a vendor kernel, since they usually have lots of little mods in them.
If you install the.src.rpm for the RedHat kernel, you will actually get the original.tar.bz2 file and all the individual patches. So it would be no problem to patch against that.
I recognize that problem. I recall being unable to get to
kernel.org for multiple days. At that time I decided to mirror the
list
of mirrors for my country.

This means I can put a web server into my mouse.
So what? Somebody already put a webserver in a dead fly.
Just your friendly reminder that just because you're using linux, it doesn't mean you have to be open.
It means they must release the source. An open source kernel certainly limits the possibility to use closed protocols.
I was also under the impression that Ogg Vorbis encoded ones sounded better at slightly lower bitrates.
I can hardly tell the difference between 48kbps Ogg Vorbis and the original uncompressed music.

Sorry I cannot help you there. RedHat has something very similar, but you only have to click once on the icon not doubleclick.
