And this is news because what? Microsoft acquires another part of another company? (Yes, I AM JOKING). I'm so hurt my website www.linuxandabandofmonekys.com wasn't posted. We're going to IPO next week!
I thought they were describing what must be in a laptop.. however... 25lbs.. that's one big fat laptop. Seems to me if all they want is less than 25lbs.. they could actually use a desktop. I doubt my computer system would weigh more than 25lbs if it had a LCD monitor.
First... a PCI bus operates at 33mhz... that is... 132MBps. Although.. you could never actually dedicate that much to one card because of video, et cetera. But, secondly, and most importantly, ethernet falls apart at %30 utilization. As a general rule of thumb with ethernet, you will not get more then %30 utilization. "Well what if I had two PCs with gigabit ethernet and chargen'd" okay.. then you might get near %100 utilization or so if nothing was in use. But, that's not realistic. With gigabit ethernet you'll really get about 41MBps. With 100mbit ethernet I'll get about 4Mbps. BIG difference. So.. just my two cents.
You proformance increase was probaly also do to using Mozilla.org's build instead of Debian's I find Debian's mozilla builds are very unstable. Which is very strange for Debian, but I guess the Netscape boys @ mozilla.org have more expeirence compiling that code. I would recommend staying away from the Debian Mozilla packages and keeping with the mozilla build, even on milestones.
You could use the webbased pop client "MailMan" by Endymion software. I'm not sure what license it's under, but my ISP uses it. Some of my friends have also set it up for their own personal use when they're on the road. I'm guessing a search at freshmeat would find it. It's the best of both worlds: portablity and no spamablity:) Enelse of course you have friends that want GAP, Nike and old navy gift certificates. Or they think they're being insightful with forwarding %19 bigger moon.
Concidering Digital(err I mean compaq) owns AltaVista, and they're already publicly traded, could it actually drop the price of the compaq stock when altavista is seperated? And who is the CEO/etc? I didn't think AltaVista was even a company, I thought it was just a division of compaq.
This article actually leaves me with more questions than answers. Are they actually developing their own OpenGL implementation for linux? I don't think they're really creating a ICD for Linux since isn't that a windows term? I hope they release the docs this time.. instead of trying for the obfuscated C contest. Fast quake would be nice.
Hrmn, I thought mp3enc was available from fraunhofer for linux. I'm not posative.. but I'm almost sure it is. Xing has their mp3 encoder for linux, and then there is LAME (LAME Ain't An MP3 Encoder) that uses the Gpyschoauctic mp3 engine, which I find to be comparable to Fraunhofer. Ian.
Check out This. I hate it when contests act like what they're giving you such a big deal. Value $120 my butt... $40 in 4front software(that actually costs them nothing to distrubate, I'm not saying it's wrong of them to charge, just giving it out in a contest costs them _very_ little.), and a $80 soundcard that's really $18? Heh. I love xmms, and I'm looking forward to the plugins this will bring, but please don't lie to get people participate in contests.
Add this line to your/etc/apt/sources.list deb http://non-us.debian.org/~crow/ glx-potato/ type apt-get install glx-nv apt-get install libgl yeeha. there you go. I can't get my acceleration to work though, I have no idea why. It says it's working and all but I get like 7fps on pulsar, if anyone can help me, please do, and I do have it in 16bpp mode. Oh ya! and the symlink on is broken you'll need to relink it to the glx-nv.so And.. if you're really daring you can try this line in your sources.list those are the cvs snapshots. Last time I tried these they were broken. deb http://debian.oftheinter.net glx/ Good Luck. I hope you do better than me. If you get the acceleration working please email me and tell me how!
I don't see it being included in the FreeBSD distro anytime soon. This article states the drivers will be released under GPL Licence. That, if I have my licences figured out correctly, means that they can't be used in a program that is licensed BSD.
That would be all good and stuff, but you are forgetting this is a big peice of what opensource is all about. Keeping things free. If they would want to have their knowledge restricted they would get a closed-source license. However, they wish to spread their source and have it improved on.

*sigh* I've been reading so many posts about how linux has a bad install.. and your post even goes as far to say Linus and Alan should be taking a deep breath instead of focusing on the kernel. OK. Linus and Alan work on the _kernel_ they don't work on installers. If they wanted to make installers I'm sure they would have no problem finding a line of employment in that area. If the installation is hard, it's typically the distros fault because typically they make the installer. Linux is a kernel. That's it. A kernel. Not a distro. If a kernel includes a graphical install that also setups the gui, and auto-detects everything, then you get bloatware. You need the kernel to sit there and do it's job of being stable, and you need installers to setup guis, and auto-detect everything. The people who make the installers should take a deep breath, and they now they are taking a deep breath, look at the strides linux installers have made.
Can someone explain to me why beowolf clusters wouldn't do what businesses are wanting? I see Drovak's comments, this article, etc. but isn't beowolf clustering for linux?
Strange. I went laptop shopping about a week ago with my cousin and there were several compaq K6-433s and 450s. For them to be released in the stores, it must have had been at least 2wks prior amb released the chips..? Anyone know when they were actually released?
Yes, IRCnet is probaly larger than DALnet. But undernet is also larger than DALnet. When you did a/lusers on undernet it was split. Quite commonly undernet is underLAG. I guess most major networks are, but it seems undernet exspecially so. Though, one thing I have to say about undernet is they have some of the best programmer channels imho.
Ok.. It would seem dalnet just redid their site and took the previous server applications off of it. But when I got this article via the mail 4days ago it was still there. Here is the closest I can come to proof. Unelse someone happens to have mirrors of the dalnet applications. http://www.dal.net/whois/data.html Favorite operating system... *shrugs* not nearly as good as the server apps, but.. it's better than nothing. Also for a bit of the prejudice against it try http://www.dal.net/vote/voting/cfo23.html and look at defiants comment. And a few of the it would be ok if they ran freebsd. And if dalnet ever restores their old vote pages try http://www.dal.net/vote/ and the oldschool votes

Has anyone noticed that the mozilla releases seem to be much more stable on windows than linux? Is there some reason for this? GTK stablity? Or what?

Animation using PNG is called PNM. Heh. It's also the format PSP uses when it saves in it's native format for animation.

What do you say we add Dr. Linus to the current poll? Him and Dr. Strangelove would be tough competition.
