faster that anything from the pc world?,
$4,198 is going to buy me a quad processor board filled with processors and a shitload of RAM that would make 2gb look like crap. another thing i wonder about, does this thing even have a monitor for this price? can't see it from the article. if that is true than this surely is NOT the fastest thing.)
If you don't use microsoft products, you don't have to deal with VB script.
if *this* is your WINDOWS setup, the only thing that might be stopping you from using full-time linux might be your games, since you are naming only opensource programms that are in general more optimized for linux. so if you are not a big fan of games and *this* is your windows setup, please move over to linux and your office experience will be much better.
this has onother big advantage, pdf does not have freaky scripting and other very stuppid "welcome to virus" crap and thus gives the system admin the time to actually inprove the network in stead of hunting down infected pc's
just checked out there bug database, and for an alpha it is pretty low, below 500 bugs. tell that to the kde guyes. last time i checked there they had about 5000.
Wouldn't this way of patching provide the same trick for hacking it? rebuild your server to become a fake "live server" log your xbox on to it, and let it provide a "patch" that will free your xbox from its prison.
imagine a company like microsoft using it for windows registration or something everybody needs (safe me the "there is linux speech"). than your privacy would be lost.
i don't see how a 3d desktop can be usefull to anybody. movies, games and simulation are the only things that bennevit from this. ( still exited the see it though, mmorpg in 3d would rule the world !!! )
(i'am a dutchmen) it does not make tv because it is only considerd importent by geeks here. thinks non-geeks consider importent here are music shows, sms tv crapp, and don't forgot all those thousends of teenager girls screaming they want Jim ( our own personal wannebe music singer ). so i guess i'am happy to report that i have been classified by most other people as a geek. and yes, i do care! good job here !!
they have returned some stuff, but codeweavers is still a better choise if you want something back in wine. things that wineX donated include SDL frontend, installer support, dcom stuff, some directX stuff every here and there and their experimental shared memory wineserver.
kcalc can do hex.
it can even translate 10C8 to
1000011001000 ( binairy ) or
4296 ( decimal )
so we DO have a nice gui calc proggy in linux.
and it IS better than the windows thingy
continue praying...
thank you holy tux, you defeated evil xbox with nothing more than a blink of your image.
if possible reveal thy self in thy full glory and microsoft will treamble in your pressence.
I bet there is a "debug" option somewhere. else you always could consider showing them a glibc or gcc compile or whatever. those still dump tonns of shitload on your screen.
indeed, kernel build has much inproved. it writes less crap on your screen make xconfig has changed a lot. you now have "make xconfig" that uses qt and "make gconfig" for gtk. so you can now configure your kernel in it's native window manager look and feel. ( if you use kde or gnome or another window manager that uses qt or gtk of course )
there are plenty of well known bugs that will keep the kernel develepers happy for quite some time, so just let them fix those bug and the "few" user reports that will come in the months ahead. if you want it now, grap 2.5 from kernel.org and have fun, if you want something REAL stable. wait for 2.6
donating? hell yeh. it is because of them kde-look.org in still on the internet. ( it was generating a that high traffic that its ISP was no longer willing to support the site ), they also organisezed a wine confererance and i am sure they did some other things too. and even if they don't mean to help, they still have to contribute modified (L)GPL code back. so it definitly is a WIN situation to have them around.
but you would have had that if you used a pci card ( that is what the parent is trying to explain i guess ) since a pci card does not use gart. ( gart is needed on agp only )
missing reliable Win32 compatibility? you mean binairy compatibility, sure it's very bad in linux. every linux game i've seen is shipping there own versions of sdl gtk and other linux library's they use simply because they could otherwise not garantie that it would be working on every distro. the ironic part is that this is also what keeps live alive, trying to patch programms / kernels because you believe it will make them better is makes most distro's that what it is. almost no distro shippes the *real* packages anymore. compatibility still has a very long way to go
you can't say "don't buy expensive software" and "want autocad running in linux". my dad uses autocad 1 / week and it costs a fortune!, but me really needs it since everyone is using it. autocad should make a port but 5400 euro for a full version is far to expensive to legaly buy ( when working on your own )

Spam == undesired mail. so when want it, it is not undesired any more (and thus not spam). so that is why you don't get any spam!!

good going ! less power use = less heat, less heat = less fans, less fans = less noice !! great !!

xs4all ADSL is really cool, good support lots of linux support. ( compared to other ISPs here )
thanks XS4ALL !

the colour scheme can be changed to whatever you like, so that should not bother anyone.

how about kcalc?

not to mention illigal, the nvidia license forbids any ways of obtaining the code.
