The Celeron processor is still faster than the 1.25 GHz G4 PowerPC.
How is this comparision being made? Are there some specific processor benchmarks published? In operations per second or something similar. But can you actually compare RISC and CISC operations per second? Anyone has any insight on this?
If we are talking about user perceptions, I have to disagree with the above assesment. I use both PCs (Windows and Linux) and Macs. I do some amature photo and video editing occasionally and from my experience 1Ghz G4 is approximately equivalent to 2.4Ghz P4. As far as less demanding applications such as www, email, word processing, they work equally well on both or even much lesser CPUs. I have 600Mhz G3 that runs latest Mac OS X, Safari, iTunes, iPhoto, email just as good as 1Ghz G4. What's the least powerfull CPU that Win XP, iTunes, Photoshop Album (for example) can comfortably run on? I know Athlon 1400 works fine.
Mr. Szulik, do you think that the major factor that led to the success of Red Hat in the enterprise is its popularity among Linux enthusiasts who have been using it at home for years and than brought it to their offices along with the experience they had in administering and using it? Isn't it the possibility that if home users switch to another distribution, it will enjoy the similar success in the enterprise a few years later, at the expense of Red Hat?
"Yes... but the person you got shut down merely has to file a "put up or shut up" reply with the ISP, and the person who made the DMCA complaint MUST proceed to filing a formal infringement court case within 10 days or shut up for all time. It's not something you should do lightly."
What if one kernel contributor files DMCA complain, shuts them down for 10 days and never files a formal court case, then another contributor (IBM for example) sues them into oblivion (and hopefully jail) later, when it's ready. Would the second case be invalidated by the first? I am not a lawer, but probably not. That would be fun.
"He got what he deserved"
Yes, he did. The problem is that tomorrow the same tactic is going to be used for generating revenue on expressways when people are going 10 mph over speed limit. About a search warrant, I am not a legal expert, but doesn't a warrant has to be issued before a surveliance is collected. Even if I am wrong about this, isn't it strange to pay for a device that can be used against you in a court?

Wonder how long till Linux runs smoothly on it?
Why would that be a problem? Yellow Dog, Gentoo. That is if you don't like BSD with a nice UI on top of it and really have to run Linux on it.

No facts. Made up statements. Insightful.
Well, do you think he would have set the oil fields on fire if we hadn't attacked?
No, given enougth time, he would set New York on fire.
