does it seem that the opteron smokes the itanium2 and xeon? this can't bode well for intel.
The comparisons won't make much real-world sense until the evaluation is done using Intel's compiler for the Itanium tests. The GNU compiler is just not up to snuff at optimizing for Itanium's EPIC instruction set.
I would like to see Intel contribute Itanium optimizations to GNU, but I doubt this will happen since they sell a competing product.
50 years ago, dial telephones were introduced in my home town, and the newspaper included a 24-page instructional supplement on how to dial a number. 24 friggin' pages on how to operate a dial telephone! Think about it some more, because I don't think I could fill 24 pages with instructions on how to dial a damned phone. 50 years from now the younger generation will be wondering why there was such angst about having a browser built into our mobile phones.
Have you ever tried to extract a single file from a gzip'ed tar archive? It's not possible without unpacking everything and throwing away the bits that you don't want.
What's wrong with:
zcat foo.tar.gz | tar Oxf - path/to/bar > filename
Problems in Apache 2.0 are preventing the company that I work for from using RHEL 3.0. We are using RHEL 2.1 (in order to get Apache 1.3) for our new development work instead. The problems encountered involved using DAV with SSL authentication. It just does not work under Apache 2.0. With regressions like these, along with many of the other problems reported with Apache 2.0, it is likely to be a while before we move from Apache 1.3.
I'd never heard of the South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly before today. Interesting information. Thought I'd share a link for other interested slashdotters.
What you fail to mention is that this is an imaginary timeline used to facilitate a couple "what if" scenarios. Yes, it is written in that report. No, it is not fact.
Of course anything quoted without proper context can lead to all sorts of speculation and false assumptions. Certainly there are people that "don't bother to read the facts" but this is no fact.
Your experience with the FM Recorder does not match mine. My FM/R has been rock solid. The battery lasts long enough to handle the Denver/Tokyo flight. The drive does click on occasion, but I have to hold the thing near my ear to hear it -- or be recording with the built-in mic. It's barely audible. The FM/R has been with me on 10-12 transatlantic/transpacific flights and has never had a problem. I take the thing everywhere in my briefcase and use it as an external drive at home and at work. It's even been dropped a number of times. Never a problem.
The thing I like most about the FM/R is that I can recharge the it from the USB port. The charger that was shipped with the unit was a real POS and fried the first week I had it. I've never missed it.
The RockBox upgrade is a must though. These guys have done an awesome job.
I think that SCO has to lose in court before it will be considered. Unless someone can bring extremely convincing facts to the SEC that SCO intentionally misled investors, then there is little that the SEC can do.
One would basically have to prove that Darl & Co. knew they had no case. Ignorance and stupidity are quite excusable in the US, even if the results are the same as if one wielded malice instead. The SCO guys have been doing their idiot dance for the media for almost a year now. They would most certainly plead stupidity -- and win.
I don't think it's likely they will be pursued by the SEC. However, if IBM finds any "Linux Lottery" documents at SCO during discovery, all bets are off.
Volcano lava is mantle material on its way out to the earth's surface. Depositing our waste there is not the safest approach for us surface inhabitants. A more plausible approach might be to bury the waste near subduction zones. But most of these zones are under water and subject to volcanism themselves. It would be rather expensive to do and there is no telling what percentage will come back at us.
Have you ever used a large virtual desktop, such as is found in FVWM, Sawmill/Sawfish and the like? We are not talking desktop flipping. We are talking edge scolling (only they are divided into multiple panes and the panes flip). Windows can happily live half on screen. The desktop itself has a large virtual space. In that case there is no need for multiple desktops. From your description, I don't think you know what you are talking about. Either that or your experience with the concept has been with a braindead desktop manager.
No. The problem that punycode solves is that the encoded DNS names are themselves valid RFC1034 DNS names. That is, even when encoded, standard DNS validity checkers will accept the name.
If you are going to patch metacity to do anything, edge flipping has to be job #1! Metacity was a step back into the early-90s for me. Makes me pine for FVWM.
What nimrod would release an X window manager without edge flipping -- undoubtedly one of the best productivity tools for Unix? My workstation (you know, where I actually do work) is still running RH 7.3 because I refuse to live without edge flipping.

You missed:
307 "Temporary Redirect"
This is a much more user friendly response than a 50x error when monthly maintenance is underway.
That set needs a 307 to be complete.

No. Replace "up to" and "over" with "about". That may help you parse the sentences in a way that may make sense to you. The rest of us get it.
~16h = 2 * ~8h
Whoever modded this question "interesting" should be flogged. The parent post is vacuous.
What's wrong with:
to extract a file, or
if you want to view it?
And play right into the hands of the IP attorneys that are helping file for these frivolous patents in the first place, enriching them further.
No, the solution is to reform the USPTO itself. Patent applications need peer review. Or software patents need to be abolished.
Parent is +5 Insightful, if a bit optimistic (re: last paragraph).

Anyone have a good collection of Linus quotes in a fortune file?
Care to open source your SSN and prove that point?
Or: I'll be able to use this RAM on the next motherboard I buy.
Hey, I can see my netblock from here!

UTF-8 does not have this property

Speaking of which, isn't there some standard contract boilerplate that basically says "thou shalt be good corporate citizens an shall not pull a SCO"?
I think the establishment of communist and socialist governments argue against this thesis.
Do you think they have a replacement OS for my LinkSys?
