And I hope one of the tasks for 2.7 is an infrastructure change to handle drop-in TOE accelerators. Such a restructuring can probably expose those same CPU savings as a side effect of such posturing (and giving NIC cards more chances to offload work).
I was just mentioning that sometimes you have to wait if stuff if it is out of stock and is backordered, or maybe you ordered a part from a foreign website because it's not markted here, or you're having something heavy (like a case) shipped from Buttefuck, NM, etc.
But I too prefer to wait a few days, the experience is much more consistent. Selection is always much better.
But nothing beats the convienence of being able to cruise by (Microcenter, Fry's, etc.) and make a quick exchange in the heat of a system build.
Which is bizarre, because I've discovered things like the ypserver portion of NIS works much better if you use gmake to update instead of plain-jane make.
Fresh install, ypinit -m, then make, and boom! errors. No update pushed to slaves.
So you have to go in and futz with some targets with missing dependancies.
OTH, use gmake, and it ignores those, and prints a warning. Do the script maintainers have their paths wrong???;-)

If all I cared about was Java games on Yahoo!, then, well... Solaris is the best platform for games, and you can do just as much work with it as you can on any other platform. No dual booting requried there! And scales to 128 CPUs without breaking a sweat.
Never mind that the article doesn't even venture into this territory. Tsk tsk.
the software of the computer can "fear" in it's own little warped universe, if you so choose to develop nodules in such a fashion.
There is a particular checkers playing simulation named "Apache" which essentially taught itself how to play checkers, by playing other copies of itself.
It fears losing. It dies if it loses, and it tries all sorts of things to get a leg up.
It got much more competetive once researchers opened up the ability for it to compete on Yahoo! Games against real people.
A particularly successful automaton is ranked something like 3rd tier internatinoally. We have no idea (really) how it works. But the basic prinicples and ground rules are things we put there to define it's universe and emotions, if you can call them that. It has done quite well for itself without God having breathed life into it.
Humans have much larger sets of ground rules and motivations than checkers. But that doesn't mean it wouldn't be possible to create a simulation that could compete at the game of Life (eventually).
- It has no need for emotions to help it deal with reality or preserve itself.
People who write and use the software get plenty emotional enough about it as it is.:-) (This is only a half-joke, I think you get the idea)
Software can become intelligent, but it should never yearn (feel for) anything, lest it become less useful. We don't need technology that can create competetion when we are trying to defeat it with that same technology ourselves.
The logic being that it's no "excuse" for hardware manufacturers if their linux userbase has to pay for driver support from a 3rd party before they can use their Windows driver.
It will limit acceptance, so to reach a wider audience the hardware maker will still have to consider opening enough documentation to get a localized implementation (or do it themselves).
Or they are ignoring the linux end-user, in which case they don't know either way, and a driver will never exist. And those who choose to pay will get to use their hardware anyway. How is that problematic?
Linux doesn't have enough marketshare to create a boycott situation to certain vendors: emulation helps to fill in the gaps until cross-OS support becomes trendy.
And hopefully, as more devices start to attach to systems across platform neutral interconnects (i.e. USB, IEEE1394, etc.) it will be possible to have true cross-platform drivers that run in userspace with a consistent API for the hardware type. At least attempting to implement a binary-compatibility API is a step in that direction (even if this particular case is not a good example).
If you have a graphical app you want portable between Linux, Windows, then you use WxWindows, which will compile on both with the right userland build setup.
What that has to do with drivers is beyond me. It also appears to be beyond you.
We all know it takes 20 minutes while we sit here waiting for MacOS to copy the file, and no one can figure out why, while it takes 40 seconds for Windows NT.
With linux, the file is on an FTP mirror list and already copied everywhere it's important.
He specifically didn't test 4.8 because he was told 5.1 would scale better. He knows 4.8 is more stable, that wasn't really the point of the article. 5.1 did an excellent job.
So let me guess, you run Solaris x86 at home. No wait, you have a Blade 2000. Riiiight.
I'm waiting for the kernel annouce release that convinces me it's time to upgrade. I like reading about it and monitoring the progress, because I'm hoping I'll be able to make a new shiny hardware shopping list soon.
And if you have a copy of Solaris you probably have a SunSolve account so you don't need to read Slashdot to know when important things are bubbling to the surface.
Christ man. Just stop reading developer/linux articles. You have a preferences page for a reason. Just enjoy UnixWare, mmmkay?
If it really was worth $700+, then we'd all be paying for it. Think about it.
If you can't see why you absolutely need Photoshop as opposed to some other tool, then you're not prepared to pay for it. And thus it's not worth $700 to you. The barrier of entry was low before, and now it is raised. It's intrinsic value is reduced, and thus people now talk smack about it (they never did agree with the price, hence the piracy).
On the flip side, if it really was WORTH $700, nobody would complain about exchanging their money for this wonderful product, because it's WORTH IT.
It's just not worth that much that you would start complaining. I think Adobe should take a hint as to why their sales forecast will not meet expectations.
And I have the GIMP too... for when I'm on the good side of my dual boot. I have become proficient at both... just in case one becomes permenantly inaccessible.
battery backed flash memory addressable via SMBus, which you program the "code" into, and the power switch only engages when the DIP pattern XOR values in NVRAM == all zero.
rm -rf SomeTempFolder Notice, no chance of seperating the / or the * from the directory accidentally (both can be bad) Works just as well as SomeTempFolder/*since the -r implictly recurses ANY directories listed.
So the * is NEVER necessary unless you're deleting files that are PART of a glob pattern.
I managed to lose about three weekends worth of jack-off material that was on 'ma 'puter in my bag while I was cartin' it off to my buddies' place so he could burn hisself a copy. I was on my Harley and it was raining like a motherfucker. But I didn't care, so I gunned it. But as I was doing that I popped a wheelie, and this damn fool did it right over the railroad tracks! Bad idea. BAM! My fat ass landed ON MY BAG.
At the time when you were trying to use the Travesty^h^h^hn cheap-ass tape drives to backup your critical data, had you ever ventured out onto that new-fangled thing called the Internet?
Because if you had, let me tell you, you would have seen "fucking" next to Traven more often than any other word. And you'd find it pretty quickly.

Sanford is a ball-like, greasy fuckface. How could anything he does actually make anybody happy?

WxWindows = GUI (which is why you thought of it, parent mentioned it)
WinDrive = userland drivers
pr0ntab = jaded. Forgive his cold nature.

How hard was that illogical statement to conjure up? Did you break a sweat? Way to play devil's advocate bucko.

3) Expertise
Too easy to ignore as stupidity, except to the few of us who can't keep our mouths shut and blather something from the above list of easy retorts.

Yup. He's right! It's like a belly button.

Wait, NERO, that sounds familiar. Anyway, that DesignTechnicia article was ass, let's see the scathingness...
Oh crap. That's right, I'm an idiot.
