They test it, they make sure everything(hardware) works/is supported.

Eyes on Xanadu October 25, 2004
Cassini image of Titan, revealing the bright continent-sized terrain known as Xanadu
This image taken on Oct. 24, 2004, reveals Titan's bright "continent-sized" terrain known as Xanadu. It was acquired with the narrow angle camera on Cassini's imaging science subsystem through a spectral filter centered at 938 nanometers, a wavelength region at which Titan's surface can be most easily detected. The surface is seen at a higher contrast than in previously released imaging science subsystem images due to a lower phase angle (Sun-Titan-Cassini angle), which minimizes scattering by the haze.
The image shows details about 10 times smaller than those seen from Earth. Surface materials with different brightness properties (or albedos) rather than topographic shading are highlighted. The image has been calibrated and slightly enhanced for contrast. It will be further processed to reduce atmospheric blurring and to optimize mapping of surface features. The origin and geography of Xanadu remain mysteries at this range. Bright features near the south pole (bottom) are clouds. On Oct. 26, Cassini will acquire images of features in the central-left portion of this image from a position about 100 times closer.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Cassini-Huygens mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team is based at the Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colo.

Cassini-Huygens makes first close approach to Titan
Today the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens spacecraft makes a fly-by of Saturn's largest moon Titan - the closest ever performed.
Since when did OpenSource means standard ? I see Cisco, Nokia, Sony, Alcatel and others starting to develop SIP phones, and some telecompanies starting to push them to end users. I don't see many doing the same with iLBC, which again, is not a standard. And, heck iLBC is just a goddamn codec. Not signalling. Learn the diffrence.
Now, while Skype is a cool thing today, will it prevail ? It uses non-standard protocols. Properitary things. My prediction is that in the not so distant future, more good standarized (e.g SIP) VoIP solutions will be developed, and have more success attributed more vendors/solutions working together. Where will that leave skype ?
How the heck did you come to the conclution levels were not well designed ? It's goddamn DARK, I can't even see the levels. I know its supposed to be dark, but come on, this was no fun.
Almost the same as in fedora then. Add the freeworld repo and apt-get it..

Replacing TCP?

>SCTP is indeed interesting. I've tangled with it when playing with SIGTRAN, i.e. SS7 over IP. The nightmares ceased a while ago.:-) My condolances. SCTP itself is ok, but the leap of adaption protocols to map to SS7, and not to mention SS7 itself, makes you wonder our telephone net work at all.
Why not SCTP ? See RFC 2960. Already in the Linux kernel, Kame, (solaris ?) and probably others. Intro here
- SCTP can be used in many "modes" * Provides reliable messaging (like UDP,but reliable) * Can be used as a stream protocol (like TCP). * One connection/association can hold multiple streams. * One-to-many relation for messaging. * Better at dealing with syn flooding than TCP.
Then again, I guess inveting the wheel is more "fun":-/
The entry refrences this, which just spits out bad HTML from the tools he wrote. I'v been reloading it _MANY_ times now in firefox 0.10, but havn't seen any crash yet. Anyone crashed anything on the above link ?
The GPL doesn't say you have to give away anything to the public. It says (among others)you have to make the source available to purchasers of your work/product/software under the very same GPL, if they want it.
This is what we ALL need. Yet another IM network. If they do this I atleast hope they're smart enough to follow a standard. Javver/XMPP would be great, SIP+extenstions would be ok as well though. But PLEASE, no more closed networks/properitary protocols.
>Now only if it were useful as a desktop OS... Why should it not be ? Note that beeing a desktop OS isn't NetBSDs goal, but you can run just the same KDE/Gnome/whatever desktop on it as on a linux distro. I have NetBSD and Fedora dual booting. There really isn't that much diffrence once things are set up.
Now, If I install this as a non-administrator, I take it that it runs as non-administrator ? Or does it install itself as as service running with administrator provileges... Bottom line is, can a program running as a normal user somehow access files of other users ?

Alright.. Linus* made his point. goddamn.
Linux made his view on C++ in the kernel a while ago here

Indeed interresting.
Now, where did the rumor that IBM said it couldn't find the sources come from ?
Now, while Skype is a cool thing today, will it prevail ?
It uses non-standard protocols. Properitary things.
My prediction is that in the not so distant future, more good standarized (e.g SIP) VoIP solutions will be developed, and have
more success attributed more vendors/solutions working together.
Where will that leave skype ?
While often done with email, it needs not.
Just show the customer an id or two, which he/she hs to remember for picking up the ticket, or cancel it.
How the heck did you come to the conclution levels were not well designed ? It's goddamn DARK, I can't even see the levels.

My condolances. SCTP itself is ok, but the leap of adaption protocols to
map to SS7, and not to mention SS7 itself, makes you wonder our telephone net work at all.

Hmm, it's "marketed" as a slim and slick distro. Somwhow I fail to
see the very big diffrence doing a "Desktop" installation of Fedora...
Just an honest Q, is this version able to run Star Wars: Battlefront ?
That would make me buy a copy of cedega.
I'm sure I'll be able to do that *now*. /.
Thank you

Cut the fancy talk. How does some "simple" code look like ?
Perhaps the RFC draft explains it ?

The use RHEL or one of it free counterparts.
6 moths or so schedule isn't that uncommon or rapid btw.
Make that XFce, not XPce.
