kill -9 does NOTHING to them, and they aren't zombied.
Oh, and then my computer arbitrarily decided to reboot.
Yea, it wasn't much fun. But the developers don't seem THAT interested in ULE + PREEMPTION crash reports because they are so frequent and easy to generate that the developers are having NO trouble getting test cases.
I'm not asking the people that make, say, PCI, to release the knownledge required to MAKE the interface. I only want the knownledge required to COMMUNICATE with the device that I am purchasing.
I do not understand why you find that so unreasonable.
"If Sun wants to open source Solaris 10, more power to them.

That's religion. That's coercion." -- You should be modded offtopic.
P.S. I'm going to take your steering wheel away from your car and replace it with a device that only I know how to operate. You want to go somewhere? You need ME, and you can only go where I say.
I mean, who the FUCK are you to tell car manufactures how to make their cars?
Is there really that much trouble in having a header in a filesystem that specifies how many bits it is and being able to fine-tune how many bits you want these pointers to be at filesystem creation?
It was, as of 2.6, absolutely unusable. Gnome has some really nice features. But I always hear of how nice it is compared to KDE because KDE is bloated.
Why is it then that KDE 3.3 out performs Gnome 2.6? ESPECIALLY when you are in their respective terminals.
afaik they use `layers' to draw the screen now. So a foreground window doesn't actually draw over a window in the background. This means you can drag windows over other windows without the background app having to redraw itself.
Ever notice how if you have a transparent menu open with a xterm/etc under it and, say, you're compiling something, that the text in the transparent menu doesn't update? `Fake' transparency refers to what we've been using now, which is basically taking a screenshot of the app and then pretending that your window is transparent by using the screenshot in the background of the window/menu. This real transparency means that it's not handled by the application, it's handled by X, and since the contents under your window weren't overdrawn, it can just.. you know... render it properly.
That doesn't degrade the parent posters argument in the least. If you think he/she has no reason to be confident in their argument, why don't attack that instead of trying to attack their rightful desire to remain anonymous.

Why should a public health care system cover cosmetic surgery? That's fucking retarded."
It doesn't. Read what was said again. It was about waiting rooms, not health care.
Slashdot Mirror
Hey, Gopher boy.
:) There will be a BETA7.
Check the schedule again.
You are incorrect. They changed the license as of Apache 1.3.31 as well.
Besides, incase you missed teh memo, OpenBSD.org isn't even hosted on a OpenBSD box; it's hosted by a NetBSD based service.
I do not believe Theo has too much control over what web server serves his pages.
But the majority of them do -- including KDE and GNOME.
I watched the Ruby demo render in real time on my friends ATi Radeon x800. I'd have to say we're a lot closer than you would think.
SCHED_ULE + PREEMPTION = Unusable for me.
Programs freeze and cannot be killed.

Open Specs != Open Source.

C'mon. Get to work! This ain't no union shop!
Have they fixed Gnome-terminal yet?

Is there any version of *nix for the Palm Pilot that isn't hopelessly outdated? heh.
Not from what I've heard. Everyone on the -current mailing list seems to be preping for the first -stable release.
6.0-current has already been branched. When 5.3 hits it will be -STABLE.
Can you please explain to me why you seem to think that rebooting to Windows is better than not having to reboot at all?
afaik they use `layers' to draw the screen now. So a foreground window doesn't actually draw over a window in the background. This means you can drag windows over other windows without the background app having to redraw itself.

That's what I got from it, anyway.
...and it's not a remote hole.
Have you submitted a bug report of any kind about this? That is what the BETA is for, and it is why it has the BETA tag.
While I respect your opinion, I do wish you would hold judgement until the final release is made.
Hey. I hate Windows as much as the next guy, but if you want to make a compelling argument you should at least be fair.
Windows XP came out in 2001. Do you really need me to tell you that running a RedHat distribution from 2001 would be suicide right now?
(why yes i know i am AC, but i am not posting anything that ANYONE will disagree with)
I'm sure (s)he would disagree with that.
That doesn't degrade the parent posters argument in the least. If you think he/she has no reason to be confident in their argument, why don't attack that instead of trying to attack their rightful desire to remain anonymous.
Or, even better yet, they could just use wxwidgets.

Yea man. Humanity has survived how long without fridges, medicine, doctors, pizza pops, guns, and computers. TOSS IT ALL!
See what ignorance got you!
Have fun in nowheresville!
But BUILD wasn't competing against Doom. It was competing against Quake, which had jumping.
Quake Engine > Build Engine.
You run X as root regardless. It's SETUID.
