There is no such thing as semantic spam. What you refer to is desinformation or information junk. Like the actual web, semantic web is about freedom, openess and accessibility. So, everybody can publish (I don't refer to governement laws, repression, etc.). But semantic web has a solution to this wave of information in a thing called the web of trust which propose giving trust ranking to information and introduce inference engines to compute which links/sites may interest you and why. But this is not for today.;)
In fact semantic web is already there in some forms : foaf, mindsap site or think of every RSS feeds.
People who don't have a clue about semantic web tend to refer about it as semantic horse shit. It's a petty that those who don't believe in things try to demolish them rather than let it go... or let it perish if they are so sure about it's doom.
take a look at the official w3c reference there. Read the header (first paragraphs). That's a very basic introduction.
In short, the goal of the semantic web is to make the web (semantic) understandable to computers (by any mean possible). This, to bring new possibilities and automatism. For this to be possible, we need to explicit things in a formal manner.
Jeg vil rette en advarsel til alle dere som skal ut å handle kontrollere etter dette. Sjekk_nøye_om kontrolleren er støttet av kjernen! Jeg bruker google for å se etter referanser til kortet på mailing-lister og lignende, men det hjelper fint lite når du sitter der med din Debian og det eneste du har tilgjengelig er binære RedHat-drivere som du ikke klarer å jukse inn i kjernen.
Nå er det bare å løpe til konsollene og teste disksystemene deres. Denne testen gir ikke annet enn indikasjoner på hva dere bør velge. Så jeg tillater meg å komme med et lite råd helt til slutt: Kjør gjerne tester selv!
Having read this, I also think that the results are obvious... Unfortunately, I can't tell on which side.
And... what is a tilgjengelig? Never seen such thing!;)
Why would anyone be troubled by compiling something one any distro but Gentoo? Every distribution is compiled somewhere, for RPM based distros all you need is the src.rpm and you can recompile the package with ease. For Debian you can 'apt-get source' to get the source package and rebuild that or you can use apt-build to rebuild as much as you want with 1 command.
Simple answer : dependency hell. That's the reason why I switched from rpm based distributions to gentoo. For me, it does not exists anymore. Every package is done to work flawlessly. Sure you can compile from src.rpm but you have the same problem of dependencies. Maybe it is better now, but when I ran Mandrake, I had a lot of trouble with rpm dependencies. In gentoo you can have multiple versions working concurrently without problem.
I remember installing Evolution and it needed libcanvas-X.Y.Z that was also needed by another package (libcanvas-A.B.C) and they were exclusive. The installer couldn'd handle both of them. Or a painful search for dependencies of dependencies of dependencies... (that were not included with Mandrake). For apt-get it is similar to portage but I didn't try it.
Now, that said, I don't want to begin a flamewar. I did reply to someone who had no clue about gentoo and got upset because someone said gentoo was fast. Hey, I don't care what distribution you guys use. Every distro has its own merits. That's not my point.
Except that portage is slow and lacks many package management features that binary package users are used to having, basic things like dependency checking on package removal.
You got a point there, but it never bothered me. Portage IS slow, but is constantly improving. For dependancy checking when removing packages it can be done at a system level. Not after each removal (maybe a gentoo user can illuminate me) but with a simple command that removes all needless packages.
And doesn't that defeat the purpose? The big packages are the ones that have the best chance of having a noticable speed difference with the proper configuration/compilation switches. Who cares if coreutils is compiled for my machine, ls runs the same pretty much, no matter what.
Completely right, they are the ones that count most. But the reason I said that (take all the context) is in case you are in hurry or you don't want the trouble of compiling it (there are gentoo users who like other features and avoid big compiles if possible). I compile everything, it was just a remark.
I remember once, when I needed to get openoffice to finish a paper for the following day. At this very moment, the binairy came in handy.
Again, don't get me wrong. I don't say that gentoo is better than any other distribution. After all, GNU/Linux is about choice!
Installation isn't made to be fast. It has to compile everything but I don't agree that it's notorious for its speed.
You surely didn't tried gentoo. If so, you couln'd say that.
You can take any distro and compile whatever you want and turn it into something "notorious for its speed" by compiling things for your system.
Yes, but you will find yourself troubled by many packages. You would loose many advantages to use your current distribution. Futhermore, you won't be able to compile everything. And if you did so, then why use your distro?
People get attatched to binaries because it's quick and simple (not always clean though)...
I'm sure that portage is more or as simple as your binary installation service. (There are graphical UI).
You are right, binairies are quick to install : that is why we use them (in part). But, as a gentoo user, I feel that compiling everything isn't a pain. Just let it compile while you sleep, you are away or even while you work. You won't notice the time taken unless you a very urged by some package. But then, even with old machines, packages take between 1 minute and 1 hour to compile. Even better, big packages like Mozilla and OpenOffice have binairies ready for use.
... so later what they do is compare apples to oranges where one installs something using rpm's and the other compiling from source when you can in fact compile from source on any distro... So really, notorious for its speed?
And refering to the comparison... You are the one to bring it. This news didn't compare anything specific. It just said gentoo is fast. That is a fact. So really, notorious for its speed? Yes my friend. But, there noting wrong with it.
I'd say notorious for making the hard things easy for the newcommers.
Yes, this is not for everyone. It is not very tough, the documentation is pretty good, but we didn't say the opposite. I won't argue on that, that is not my point. Gentoo is not for everyone, fine.
I perceive your comment as if you were frustrated against gentoo, but why? Gentoo is all about a community helping each other. There is no competition, there is place for everybody. If you want to join gentoo's community that's great. If not, good for you.
Go read gentoo's philosophy and have a try my friend. Gentoo as more to offer than a compile all Linux from scratch.
Will you ask this question each time Microsoft tries to take control over something? Are you to dumb to learn from your errors? One time, ok ; two times you are naive ; three times you are stupid.
Even though, it was something not so bad, why should we give them another chance? Hey, confidence is not there any more. I won't give a chance to someone who constantly tries to fool me. That isn't rationnal.
Why does everybody see that as something bad? I think it is good. With the dot boom, everybody rushed in CS. Now, there is too many bad bachelors and technicians. The ones who went in CS because of the boom and good wages. Remember that this field isn't growing and that competition is rising from the east.
So where is the problem? That's the return of the equilibium. And forget about women, that's ridiculous.
When the initial story appeared on./ , a mighty wizard predicted such news. See this. Now, I don't want to see stories about Dell stupidity anymore.
My two cents.
Glad to see that this poor article raises indignation. I completely support the parent view (and many others).
And for those who will say that publicity is what supports everything from TV to Internet, let me say BULLSHIT. Even though it would true I would be glad to let it go! The fact is that different approch of publicity. Some may be acceptable (many cited google ads), but intrusive one must be destroyed.
Trying to associate publicity with a social contract is ridiculous.
Can't we call this a duplicated thread? I mean, with the number of times we heard that... Let me guess, we will see a new post in a couple of days (the time for Intel to call Dell) telling that "Dell do not need AMD technology blah blah blah".
No big news here.
I wish Dell would die not to hear this anymore.
That's what I was thinking : Microsoft couldn't have a better weapon! Imagine that for the first time, their getthefact would have one that would really be true. It completly destroy positive effects like How Open Source Drives Down Startup Costs
Also, this article leads me to ask myself the question to know if the GPLv3, while acting accordingly, would become a licence for not free software rather than an open source licence? As I understand it, GPL is supposed to protect the openness of the source not the commercial aspect of it.
Not long ago Fermilab reported that Dark Energy wasn't needed. Dark matter is a funny thing to patch an hypothesis. Now we learn that Black holes do not exist... I ask you physicists : "what does exist"? Help me, all things I believed in disappears or never existed.
...Or is it only because black isn't popular anymore?
Makes me think they could play each other in a neutral country. Two great of the past fighting... or maybe something more like : will play chess for food.
Nelson said that HBS has not decided how to deal with applicants who accessed the site yesterday, nor would he confirm whether HBS knew the identities of these applicants.
So nothing is decided. It's not sure if they really know how they are.
That's a shame that the open source and GNU/Linux community doesn't exclusivly (or at least always propose) use OGG Vorbis. I don't see the point using crappy formats (mp3, wma and others) when you get virtualy not a single advantage.
The only thing I can see is for Windows users who don't have a clue what Vorbis is. The thing is (like others said
Assuming WinAmp is installed, they'll get the nice music icon and in theory, it will automagically work without them ever knowing it was an OGG file.
So their is NO excuse. Even though there was no possibility to reach Windows users, is it a loss? Who cares of what Nat says about Linux if you are running Windows??
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't ARM Intel's competitor? It is a completely different architechture licensed to many companies. Also interesting is that they are RISC processors (that's where the R in ARM comes from).
What really matters isn't does benchmarks. One who really wants to compare speed must compare the borwsing experience you get with firefox/mozilla against IE6.0. -- That, IE looses with a negative score.
If you really want to benchmark speed, try to compare firefox compiled and optimized under linux with no extensions (they take precious seconds at start). Optimize browsing options such as network.http.* and nglayout.initialpaint.delay with about:config. Take into account that you have to open a new instance of IE, because tabs don't exist, and that it loads the same stupid page by default.
Now you can compare real experience.
For more realism, wait 20 mins before your system is infected by worms and spyware to really enjoy the browser experience IE gives you. Oh, and give credit to any other browser than IE for showing you what really is the HTML/CSS the autheur coded.
Test some pages with adds, popups and other shit to compare how fast IE opens infinit popups.

Excellent point. That's where source distros shine. :)
Long live Gentoo.
For every good and bad reasons given by fellow ./ers I say we will never see such thing.

That is a reason they never made Mac OS run on x86.
X for X Windows I suppose.
Now, that's great news! What more to ask? Good prices?
Good to see companies are integrating Linux Kernel 2.6 into products. This brings ALSA, V4L and their benfits to customers.
