However, my gf *did* get me a mess of other cool stuff- a new GeForce video card, a pile of video games for PC and PS2 (she's always telling me that i need to play more games....), some Lego...
Something tells me your bluffing, like the "gf" & "play more games" in one sentence;)
However, if I had a pretend-girlfriend, i'd want her to buy me the book too.
I read some comments on "it is likely you'll be able to through Mpps at it?"
YES, it's happened to us, here on our university boxen, somebody got r00ted, and _crackers_ got in through some backdoors on a LOT of machines, then started DoS'ing my department, we have a small P-II 5.2.1 box tossing packets like nobody's business.
When the college network runs mostly Gigabit, Mpps is a plausible measure of connectivity.
I was reading through the blurb and thinking "alright schweet, they're open sourcing it!"
Guess not, but, I guess i'll be the one to say it, is this not a little excessive? I mean, we seem to going more and more to the direction of Rome and gladiators with the amount of outright violence that is considered entertainment.
When did we cross the threshhold to where beating a hooker was not enough?;)
Luckily for AMD, the Opteron/A64 was designed with dual-core in mind
Not quite lucky, more, logically.
AMD designed their Opterons with the long-term inmind, that's why they can run 32bit apps in the status quo. They designed it with dual cores in mind, because they knew where they wanted to go with the chipset.
By the way: SIGGRAPH is basically a computer-graphics convention (basically, don't bother correcting.)
The new OpenGL spec is something to be excited about, programmable shaders open up some cool stuff, my "official esitmation" on when this stuff will make it into an OS will be early next year.
Colleges are for education, for those students who most likely won't know already about protecting their computers, make them take a class on how to do it. And if their computers turn out to be infected afterwards, ban their MAC from the network until they prove otherwise.
With all the work that has been done on SMP, hopefully they'll get some good work done on it. miklas@ has done some wonderful work, while I may not agree with the big kernel lock, it's a start.
Good luck to those reading/. instead of hacking SMP up there:-p

Shortly after turning 18 I registered to vote
By voting, I can bitch and moan about politics all I want, because I'm actively trying to change it with my little bit of power

IBM, luckily is on Linux's side, and has the coffers to litigate with SCO into the next century
*sigh*
This kind of leads to a couple ethical questions:
How much is a possible life worth?
How much is the creator/founder/supplier entitled to for creating something that _can_ save a life?
IMHO, i'll shell out $90 in a situation that would be tremendously helped by a situation like this.
Life and death is not a time to be stingy

AIM is already very deeply embedded with many people, even some corporations use it.
;)
Jabber's been around, along with MSN, and Yahoo, still most people I know (personal and online life) use AIM.
You forget that this major ISP that is the largest on the planet, kinda, includes AIM in it's program
Now I just need one of those damn Centrino laptops...
Anyone?
Oh god, imagine how many of those stupid 'mac? games?' comments there are going to be!
I'm kinda glad they're trying to help Mac game development, but macs need _BIG_ titles, not summer projects to shake their gaming rep.
5. ???
6. Profit!
I couldn't resist
It's not just for your parents anymore! :P

Expect Quartz Super-Ultra-EXTREME!
Unless they can provide him with a job, or some other way for him to make a living. I don't see it right if they prevent him from finding another job.
However if he does know 'top-secret' stuff, and spills the beans to Western, Seagate will have a case against him, and Western Digital
I could have done that, I mean it's not rocke..er quantu...er..computer science.
Common sense.
Apple has the trademark on it.

psssh: about 7 years ago was when the dotcom boom IIRC was booming, it's 2004 already
Gosh I feel old....and tired (I had to, c'mon)
And you failed, now go to sleep ;)
According to the article, they implementing some nice big changes, like a new paint framework, and unicode renderer, etc.
But by Q1 of 2005?
How long after that will we need to wait until KDE switches over? (assuming that QT4 will be a step up from QT3)
KDE team?
You sir, are insane.
That's about all I have to say about that
Object-oriented programming.
;)
For me it's just easier.
(Especially with XCode displaying it as a little blue box, it makes the concept easier to grasp for beginners)
WE DO WANT SPELL-CHECK HOWEVER.
Oh, you crazy cats, gotta make up something quick, damned lameness filter... Woodstock 94! w00t!
"result in kernels that wouldn't need a recompilation/replacement for years on systems in production"
Maybe this is just me, but what would ever cause you to need to rebuild your kernels once they were in place on an OpenBSD system?
Nothing, once the kernel is _built_ to your needs on an OpenBSD machine, you _really_ don't need to recompile it, ever.

Students are at college to learn. Educate them
