    NFS has no security, i.e. you have to trust the network.

    You should use AFS, not NFS.

    Though I have had problems with AFS on OSX,
    files saved from Illustrator gets a size of 0
    if they are saved over AFS. This is *not* good.

    Its a matter of taste I would say.

    I do not like MacOSX, if I had a G5 system
    I would install NetBSD and Linux on it.
    Its like asking why would any one put Linux
    on a PC; well for the normal person, Windows
    is the normal choise(?) as is MacOSX on Macs.

    Say that we define "immediatly" as less than half a second.

    Then you are saying that you get 8 times faster
    programs when compiling for 686???

    Do you actually think that gcc will be 3 times faster?

    Or that an SQL query will be 3 times faster?

    That is simply not true, *especially* when a great deal of the load time is due to the harddrive.

    Where did you get that information?

    What's wrong with it is that some deeply religious people consider it a symbol of evil, and make stupid assumptions about people using the logo or wearing it on t-shirts etc., such as believing them to be satanists. It might not have been a problem if people knew what BSD was, but for most people "NetBSD" is as meaningful as a string of random characters.
    And? I do not think we should care for fanatics.

    Its like Linux.

    2.1 is dev version for 2.2
    2.3 is dev version for 2.4
    2.5 is dev version for 2.6 (some wanted it to be 3.0)

    It is based on the BSD kernel *and* Mach.
    MacOSX uses Mach more like a HAL and then BSD
    kernel on top.

    Unlike Hurd it does not use the Mach kernel as
    a microkernel, instead all drivers, filesystems
    and network code is in the kernel.

    It *allso* uses the BSD userland.

    They had some on aceshardware.com for a while ago. The Athlon64 did better when compiled to a 64 bit binary. Most of the gain is that you get more registers, not that you can handle 64 bit registers. They got some more speed when using the NUMA support in the kernel (Some of the tests where SMP tests).

  24. Re:You are talking ignorant on Israel's Finance Ministry To Distribute OpenOffice · · Score: 1

    No.

    Palestinians and Jews are the *same* people.

    Jews are less "Jews" than Palestinians because
    they have been living in Europe and US for so long.

    If it is religion you are talking about, then
    Israel is higly anti-semitic against black Jews.

    Anti-Zionism has nothing to do with rasism at all.
    In fact I do know Anti-Zionist Jews. You should
    not mix the meaning of words and how stupid people use them. I do not think it is a good idea to form
    a country because of religion.

    The fact is that it is the same people having
    three religions (jewish, christian and muslim).

    So if we take God out of the picture they are all
    the same.

    Can you come up with one example where the U.S. was not retaliating? Probably not

    You have no examples. One by one:

    IraqSaddam's army attacked US peacekeepers many times.
    Vietnam The US came to the aid of South Vietnam when the USSR invaded it.

    KoreaYou have the US confused with North Korea, obviously.

    AfganistanYou've obviously never heard of the 9/11 attack.

    Panama...where the US was invited by Panama's elected government. Next...

    Peru What year was this?



    Saddam's army attacked US troops, *not* peacekeepers.

    I *have* heard of the 9/11 attack, It
    was not Afganistan. It was a group of
    mostly Saudi people, not by a nation.

    US was not retaliating Panama.

    9/11 30 years ago. Ironic is it not?
