Linus is really going against the spirit of FOSS. If I want to hack my toster and turn it into a router its not the companies buisness to tell me that I can't use their product for any purpose.
Please just give the drug companies their vaccine money and university researchers their grants so they shutup about the stupid bird flue already. Every time I turn on the news for I'm thinking has the stupid thing turned airborn yet or do i have to endure the stupid news stories for another year?
Hehe, so true, our (Russian) government is sooo proud of the fact the that have accumulated hundreds of billions of USD in their "stabilization fund". They are hoping not to sepnd any oif it while the oil and gas proces stay high, and only start spending to keep the busget balanced if revenue from oil taxes decreases.
There is no remedy for cold and flue other than time and good immune system. That crap just supresses the symptoms. Banning this stuff is a good first step to ridding America and the rest of the first world of it's medicine addiction.
Then you didnt't get the idea. Dell frankly won't me able to make and support a machine that will run any (unofficially) approved version of RedHat w/o testing it on their machines sometime during the production cycle. If they dont accept gpl3 they won't be able to have it nowhere near the compnay property.
Recently I had to install Filemaker Pro 7 for a person doing translation for our company from home. I soon found out that her old but otherwise perfectly good PC was running win98. And FP wants win2k. Heres oops no.1 for Winhell. After installing win2k everything sorta worked except that
there were VISUAL ARTEFACTS ALL OVER the screen with the default win2k driver. So I spent several hpours searching for a win2k/XP driver for her model of RagePRo PCI card. Turns out I was stuck with THE DEFAULT driver as the ATI CHOSE not to support anything after win98. So strike 2 for CLOSED SOURCE. At the end I solved the problem by disabling video acceleration. Great, but now GUI operations are dog slow and movies play
like it was a 386sx. One more thing, after installing the sp4 pack (hoping it comes with an updated default driver), the PC simply started rebooting everytime on windows load.
I have never had such problems with Linux. I loaded Knoppix on that pc
to save the data and everuthing including video and sound worked perfectly the first time.
Nice attitude, what is the mean yearly income in the US? I believe it's something closer to 30K. And you're probably one of the minority Americans who considers anything below 60K as substandard. And even 60K is pushing it.
If I was only making 35K I'd sure be very happy to have an extra $200 in my wallet. And how so US centric. Most of the world including my country incomes are an order of magnitue lower than that. So legally obtaining even an OEM XP Super-starter edition is out of the question.
Only if you want to impress your friends with 200+ fps in 1024x768
At resolutions I'm accustomed to playing with 4AA on, every game is GPU limited so in reality XP3200 would perform tjhe same as Athlon64 3400
It really depends on you personality. I havent had a chance to try no anaesthesia with a general surgery. But for dental work including tooth pulling I always request no anaesthesia. It hurts like hell, but I believe it helps me reflect on my experience.
I'm sorry, but this is the most pathetic exuse for allwowing half-literate, barely comrehensible articles on slashdot. So if it's on the web you can basically treat it like a dumpster, right? No wonder the Web generation has such poor writing and comprehension skills. Thank you Taco! Btw, my native language is Russian, and I have been living there my entire life, and I find it really sad to see native speakers abuse their language to such degree AND have enough arrogance to offer exuses.
Why are you comparing a modern, fully-multitasking 32-bit OS to a single tasking primitive program loader such as Dos???? Unix has been able to provide modern features for 30 years. And M$?? Waited till 2001 to give home users an OS that wasnt a superstructure built on top of dos.
I'm doing all my grad work in Math on a P-100 desktop with Linux and Tex on it.
I couldv just as easily used one of the 8-bit machines I built during the late 80s. I laugh at those who run and buy a new machine every couple years just becuase tv told them so.
They know that work-a-holics are ruining their lifes and denyng them social lifes that they could have had otherwise. What wife would want their husband come home late every day? And if they dont have one they arent very likely to find one with a schedule like that. They are turning them into zombies that have no interest in LIFE outside of Google. And no matter how GREAT Google is, the LIFE is surely bigger than it.
I think that actively encouraging employess to live such an unhealthy lifestyle is EVIL. And what about not being EVIL then?
OK, Believe in Software Freedom is a "religion". SO why not sell your sould to the Devil outright? Why bother with stocks and priming your company to be bought out?

Don't bother. He's the guy who is proud of hiring 16 y/o highschool drouputs for minimum wage.
Why? Maybe it's ok for engineer types. Programming is a Mathematical activity so why torture your self, the best language to start is Lisp/Scheme.

I'm still pretty sure that any card will work in 2D mode with higher SVGA resolutions. Maybe not accelearted (vesa mode?)

I think you're lying. Any videocard will work at resolutions higher than 640x480 with builtin Xfree drivers.

At least for me knowing GCC and CVS helped me get a job!
Yeah, but why do you care if Aeroglass is disabled why you are playing an OpenGl game fullscreen?

I believe it clearly demonstrates Quantum Entanglement.

For the lesson in set theory. What a wonderful guy!
Does asp.net really requre so much hardware??? What a bloated piece o0f m$ crap.
