Not to mention it does just cover the very basic things. It does not say anything about e.g. hjow to talk to an LDAP server. It doesn't specify an API for snmp, or pam, or.. etc..
Also compare the compile time between tcc(http://wandel.ca/homepage/tcc/) and gcc(http://gcc.gnu.org). gcc compile is quite a few tens of thousands % slower, and tcc uses _significantly_ less memory. Does that mean tcc is better and fits most peoples needs ? I think not.
I don't have any bittorrent link , but you can download the install cd from e.g. www.netbsd.org or www.freebsd.org. You will need VMWare to install it under windowsXP though.
And you need not worry about the viruses and worms you have on your unpatched winxxp (and your head) will infect the *BSD, the daemon will keep them away.
Got any pointers to the brokenness ? I use -march=athlon-xp on RedHat 9 (gcc 3.2.2 + some patches) and it seems ok. Another point. Will NetBSD 1.6.2(or any 1.6.x) include this switch to gcc 3 ? Or is it a feature of the upcoming NetBSD 2.0 ? Which leads to; when can one expect NetBSD 2.0 ? This year ? 2005 ? (zealots that know nothing more than "when its ready" need not reply.)
With 1200 of these filling my inbox every day now, its nice to get rid of them, adding the following to.procmailrc
:0 B * ^Content.*(file)?name=.*\.(hta|vbs|exe|scr|pif|lnk |bat|com) /dev/null
Does ofcourse have the sideeffect of nuking every mail with an attachment that ends in one of hta|vbs|exe|scr|pif|lnk|bat|com , but I havnt found any use for such files in the past couple of years.
You got to set the limit somewhere. If people know they're supposed
to be there by 7.30 but "late" isn't really until 7.40, it will mostly
mean people get there 7.41.
I wonder how one calls this "flex time" though. I usually arrive between
8.00 and 9.30. No questions asked.
Sure, ext3 in the 2.5 linux kernel allows you to store whatever meta data you need, and name them whatever you want. (well, there might be size limits though. SGI XFS shouldn't have size limitications iirc)
Right. Individuals hate having their stuff messed with. So files are kept in a mess, but _you_ know where they are. Atleast untill you use Storage, which will mess them up.
wtf is this going to help ? People are as much boneheads in putting the right attributes/keywords on a "file" as they are to categorize them in a hierarcy(traditional filesystems). Why is this so great ?
You are somewhat correct. It supports Unicode. But so does my Redhat box. What windows/linux lacks is language support in applications. There are _heaps_ of application not using unicode, and not internationalized. The same goes for Linux/*BSD's.. However, these OS's have a nice feature. The OS itself, and most applications are opensource. Hence they can add the support and whatever they need themselves. You can't do that with properitary software. This is really opensource vs properitary, not a linux vs windows "feature".
>At the same time the licencing will change to pure GPL (no more LGPL libraries !!!)
And that is supposed to be a good thing ?? Sure if you're RMS, but most of us are not. So now on must opensource the app , or pay. Great:-/
Bullshit. Having a table with about 70M rows now, it works fine.
(tables need to be created with raid type though, so they are split in multiple files)
But I don't think the "it compiles, let's ship it" is the criteria for releasing 2.6.0
A better way is to look at Andrew Mortons must-fix list.
When most items are fixes, it can be released.

I don't get it. Why is this an important step ? What did FreeBSD have before this ?
Has it been _that_ long since a BSD story on slashdot , so someone just throws out the latest mail from one of the mailing lists ?
The Playstation2 DVD is great. With other DVD players you can jump on the floor, and the DVD skips/stalls. Playstation2 doesn't. Seems like
good quality to me, besides I can get rid of my dvd player and save som space/wiring.

yes, Posix certanly does not standarize everything, and it certanly does not specify an ABI, just an API.
ahem.. I meant the tcc at (http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/tcc/index.org.html ;)

You won't need gcc, what made you think that ?
www.freedesktop.org
Just remeber that standarization and unification like this does
not happen over night.
Do we need any standard but; "don't use any Microsoft products".
(ok, I realize they really talk about a broader view of security, couldn't resist though)
Just of curiosity, how many of the 2 million player are actually americans ?
Oh.. it's available for Linux as well. see e.g. here

A Ratchet and Clank video made me instantly buy it(Playstation 2) And it's probably the best game I've played so far.

Might that imply we can use OpenGL for developing on PS3 ? ...drool..

Isn't it time Slashdot make use of ACL's to prevent the "*BSD is dying trolls" ?
