I don`t know what he did, but the numbers look quite high. My main computer died a few weeks ago and I'm forced to use my test system for now.. a Cyrix 6x86 PR 200 (witch is a 150 MHz cpu) with 64 MB of RAM. Even while playing MP3s (for those who don`t know, the Cyrix FPU is so crappy that playing MP3 slows down the computer so much it can takes seconds to simply switch focus from windows), i've never seen such long loading times, using mozilla.
Those times must be mostly caused by the punny 32 Megs of memory. You know, accessing data from disk is about 1E6 times slower than from memory.
Last semester, I attended a course of Electronic. It was really interesting although the teacher was kind of crazzy. During the exams, calculators were forbidden but slide rules were allowed.
Take a look at www.dvortyboards.com they make really nice keyboards that you can switch between dvorak and qwerty mode with the press of a button. It works all in hardware, so you'll have no problem with whatever operating system you use.
If you just want to dvorak, I sugest that you use stickers or that you change the keys on your keyboard. You'll also need to change the keymap, but hey ! what a deel !
It's really interresting to compare this "official position" with the halloween documents of last year. Officially they claim that NT beats Linux hands down but unofficially it's the opposite.
many people are more interested in how the machine looks that what it has inside. hahaha.. totally the opposite of me.. My case is almost always opened and the whole thing hold up together with duck tape.
``Free software'' refers to the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. More precisely, it refers to four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software:
The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0). The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2). The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits. (freedom 3).
So FreeBSD is perfectly Free according to their definition and Jordan IS illigible. Furthermore the software dosen't have to be under the GPL (perl isn't and Larry won).

It's sad I could not find one, anywhere..
I'd rather prefer Lynx-like browsing with the arrow key. That would be pretty nifty.
I didn't even knew that XFree 4.0.3 was out !
What version of word/excel have you tried ? I can't get them to work ..
.. when I'll see it.
Dvorak was designed with the english language in mind.. Does anyone know about an Dvorak-like keymap with accentuated caracters to type in french ?
resiliance is futile

Is it just coincidence it's also my bitrhday ! (Well.. the date might also have been chosen after me !)

From the GNU web site:

freedom, for the users of the software:

What bothers me a lot more is that linux also lost on the single processor box.
Does anyone have an explanation for this ?
Funny.. but I prefere Emacs over Microsoft Word to write C code. Furthermore, lisp might be very old technology, it's still much better than VB !
eeuurkk !
I don't want that !
