It was significantly faster for me. I downloaded movies and junk off of newsgroups. When I would open one of KDE's windows to start Parring/Unraring it would sit there for quite a while and the hard drive light was on as it was reading the information. When I switched to ReiserFS just to try it, it took significantly less time to load the information. It's a lot faster than ext3 and its just as secure if not more.
I also like the way it's designed it's written so that you can put modules in it. Say you want to add encryption support to the filesystem. You can write a module and load it into the Filesystem and encrypt everything written to the drive transparently. Not saying that I know how to do that. That's far beyond my programming skill at the moment. Mostly I like it for the speed that I gained.
Nasa has planned a probe to Uranus next month. The probe is going to confirm many suspicions about this planet. The strange fact that it seems to expel gas at random intervals, and the even stranger fact that you can hear/feel it. Even here on Earth! The probe will be equipped with the latest sniffing technology. It will be capable of determining the exact chemical composition of these expulsions of gas.
It will even come equipped with a fibrous discharge weapon to remove any blockages that may from as it travels through Uranus. Keep a close watch at NASA.com for the latest photos of Uranus and it's satellites. Expect great detail of the inner workings of Uranus, as the probe will be going deep to the core.
not necessarily true...
You could be a Wine user. I run Quicken 2002 Basic in Linux.
But it probably doesn't import Gnucash files...
gnucash is a ho to get working anyway, at least from source
hmmm....
I think historicallly it's been the opposite of the parent's chart. Usually Intel chips are better at servers than AMD, and AMD is usually better for workstations.
I wanna know which one is better for my all night gaming sessions of NWN and UT2003.
Unfortunately, besides the geek-booster that it would be to own a 64 bit processor. (Not trolling, I would love to brag to my friends that I have a 64-bit processor) The performance increases of using a 64bit processor have not become evident yet. There isn't much software written that uses all the benefits of a 64bit architecture. UT2003 only gained a few frames per second over the 32 bit one, but that's because it was written for a 32 bit architecture.
I might still spend a few car payments on it anyway. Who needs a car when you've got 64 bits of Unreal Tournament 2003?:)
Although I cannot spell safety;
I believe that formatting is good;
And I'd go back to correct it, if I could;
But even mispelled, it sounds pretty nifty
RAID is nice; Daily backups are too;
so do both, and your data will stay new;
with Raid you get speed;
and with backups saftey, indeed,
So doing both works just fine,
Your data will be perfect 100% of the time.
It looks pretty cool, but I know that I hit my watch on stuff as I'm walking, working on computers, etc. So how durable is it? Will it ignite my gas as I'm filling my gas tank? What about static discharge? As I'm working on my computer to upgrade to the latest ram that just came out, will it fry the whole thing? Will I get wrist cancer? What if I'm writing an important paper and the vibrate feature goes off, utterly destroying the precious document?
But seriously, I don't think this will be as useful as it seems like it would be. I would rather have a nifty cell phone that can talk to my computer and get phone numbers and stuff. I like toys that do all sorts of stuff (not necesarily the internet). I mean like it can do more than just be a phone and read the internet. On my Handspring I have the reference for PHP on it, some games and a universal remote program. On a similar note, I don't really want to surf the net from my phone. Why on earth would you want to wait for slashdot to load on the phone. The cost of having the 'net on your phone just doesn't seem worth the wait or the "convience."
I suppose it would be neet to show to people, but only for a while. For $50+ a month it's not worth it to me.
That was fun. Load up on the berzerk pak, and god mode. Then run around smooshing imps.
I used to cheat on all my old single-player games, Descent, Duke Nukem, Shadow Warrior. But that was just me, not me vs some other real person, that doesn't like it when I'm invincible, and got the rocketlauncher with unlimited rockets.
Cheats on the internet probably shouldn't be allowed, it'll just piss people off.
Like learning Latin instead of French or something. You learn the base of lots of languages which makes you something of a not-quite-renissance man. I'm not sure that's an advantage. I mean, it's what I would do. Keeps you from being bored with one language, at least.
With the certification, it shows that you know quite a bit about a specific language, but also it shows that you spent the time and effort (and $$$$$$) to get certified. To companies, it makes you an expert in that language. They need someone skilled in Visual C++. Two people apply: one with certification in VC++ and the other has a background on several projects, one being VC++, and is a good coder. The certification looks better on paper to the company execs. They both have a fairly good chance of getting the job, even if the renissance coder is a better developer in general.
I suppose in general the renisannce coder has an advantage over the "one-language" coder, but perhaps not when it comes to getting on specific projects.
That's what I'm saying. I mean he (the author of the article) even shot himself in the foot by claiming that he sees bugs in higher level web-languages like PHP.
Just because you use a high level language, if you suck at coding, your program will have security holes.
Referring to the standard, minimal C string library. I used one in the past. I believe it was called APSTRING. It was a nice string object and and it had a method to make it compatible with those older functions that wanted char *'s. Making one library that everyone will agree to support will be difficult, because they all have slightly different implementations of basically the same thing. A defacto standard could be made if you started using one and kept on using it.
There's nothing wrong with writing code in C++ if it's written well. Having access to the lowlevel stuff is handy, but if you don't need it, don't use it. Use the more advanced, safer, if slightly slower libraries. Heck, sometimes (not always) they're even easier to work with.
So, just take a trip to the next space telescope we put out into space, once every couple of months to get the film from it. I mean this has it's advantages, perhaps not to the average joe. I like analog photography too, but digital will work much better in getting images from space probes, satellites, and other far off devices, hell, even spy-planes, to another location really quickly.
But this is a secure P2P unlike most p2p apps which are completely open. The transmissions on this net are encrypted. Also it doesn't seem to function like most p2p apps, which let you share only what you want and get whatever you want, the only cost being bandwidth. Freenet takes part of your storage and donates it to the network, that's the way it works, you have to donate some. I couldn't find out how to share things on the network though, and I'm not sure I like the idea of keeping the most popular items on the harddrives of multiple people and letting unpopular things just dissappear...
More flamebait...
Why do we need software to teach our children? Wouldn't teaching them in person be better, or are we all too busy?
Or you could just use redhat and double click the.rpm you just downloaded off the internet. But you'll still have to deal with your own B.O. and Ho-Hos.
But if most developers are writing for linux, then more software will start appearing for linux. Companies hiring these linux developers will have software written for linux, and the end user will have to use it.
It's kinda like using microsoft's tactics against them, the end users won't have another choice.
I doubt that companies will want to develop a product for each OS, it's too costly. So, they'll pick a platform and stick with it. If most of the developers that apply for the job are specialized in linux, the company may decide that it's a good way to go, since lots of people are writing for it.
on a more humorous note: My girlfriend cares about at least one developer...
If you want a true "your os" I would check out sourcemage. I've been using it now for 9 months and I think it's really neet. It uses a very unique package management system. It will build all your apps from source. Catching what files were installed and where, and allows you to uninstall them. The default option with the uninstall is to archive it somewhere. It puts all the files in a tar.bz2 and saves them unless you tell it to go away. That way if you want to reinstall it, it doesn't have to reinstall the whole thing, it just extracts it.
Just thought that was nifty. Also, since this is a linux from scratch type distro, everything is compiled for your architecture(sp?). Which is really neet, because I don't have a p4 or whatever they compile it for. I have an Athlon and there are certain features that when compiling for an Athlon (in Linux) that you get over compiling for P4.
my 2 sense....wait....
But if you RTFA then you would know that there is a fix already out there for the Linux community at least.
In the case of openssl [9], a new version has already been released (0.9.7a) with a countermeasure against our attack.
And I'm glad I was told about this, now I can go and update my server with the latest version of openssl and recompile stuff that links against it, and I'm now secure against the Swiss:)
How long after getting browsers on the phones will you get random phone calls telling you to buy the x-10 camera, or that your the 623451th person to be called by them?
I'm seeing a huge market for Cellular-PopUp-killer
PROFIT!
once again, M$ gets busted for lying through it's teeth
Did MS actually get busted? Or have a bunch of geeks just gotten their ego's inflated by laughing at a company we all know sucks? I know it makes me feel better knowing one more reason why I left Winblows. Unfortunately, all the slander-no not slander-truths that we spew forth here may and probably will not have any effect on M$'s business plan. There are still the sheep of the world caught up in the nifty butterfly ad that are going to follow M$ where ever Gates says to go. I know that *nix is better, even for a desktop, and you know this. But, the average user/company is not going to switch because of this. We need to get people/companies to switch to *nix to boost it's popularity. We have to make people want to use *nix. Not just because it's better. They want more reasons than that.
that this is just microsoft forcing it's people to use Winblows regardless of what's cost effective or easier. The general idea seems to be that even though the FreeBSD server would have been a better choice, due to ease of administration, capabilities, control, and installation, MS said you will use win2k.
Now, we just need to get the average person to read and believe this instead of following the MS butterfly into the flame.
If I could only read the actual whitepaper instead of.... well nothing.
