Seems like a pretty good solution for timezone changes... Timezones don't change daily like AV or spam holes - it should have gone in stable.
I guess I'm biased living in New Zealand, like most of the folks complaining on the Debian list...
Stick it to 'em. Make them pay for copyright violations and "loss of revenue". How about fining them for the costs of developing, testing, and maintaining the software themselves?
But how would ray tracing benefit cel-shaded animation? You could probably raytrace the scene, then use a GL (or other) post-processor to create a cel-shaded effect. IIRC, some cartoons are already made in a similar way, but with regular rendering not raytracing.
I did consider those issues, if not write them down. Solaris zones does a fair job in managing them, especially the first one (ok, not a full vm, but close enough), and for 2, a dynamically configurable zone could be doable - eg, defaults to nothing, and asks for network, graphics, files, etc, if it needs it. Points taken though.
Nope. Think of a hypervisor plus extremely restricted virtual machines... hypervisor handles hardware access, and where each vm runs one application with a subset of access to the system (eg, keyboard and mouse input, some screen space, some partitioned file io if it needs it). And that plugin doesn't know it's running in a browser, it's got the whole screen to itself, but the hypervisor only gives it a small screen (think picture-in-picture) in the position where they plugin would be drawn...
I have both on my laptop. Vista is nice, but there's no question about which OS runs faster, is more stable, and doesn't hog as much resources. I've got 1 GB of RAM, and that's not enough for Vista + OpenOffice, antivirus, browser, etc. However, it IS plenty enough for Ubuntu 7 with the aforementioned apps + Compiz... and I don't get unsolicited updates, virus, etc on Ubuntu. If I had my embedded dev-apps on Linux, I wouldn't keep Vista on my disk.
The issue with chipsets is about market segmentation rather than newer=better. P965 is a "mainstream desktop" chipset, while say, a 975X is a "performance desktop" and/or "workstation" chipset and so supports ECC. The performance hit isn't a factor, but the price hit for the extra logic apparently is.
I would guess that whatever your favorite non-bloat software is, it is most likely in Damn Small Linux... Which suggests that Damn Small Linux is, well, somewhat bloated.
You know what else? I think this may be the first step in getting the developerment community onboard for a CPU/GPGPU hybrid processor I reckon they'll produce in a couple of years.
Runs on Linux and Windows, and doesn't need a TPM chip to operate. It'll create encrypted volumes from files, or work with raw devices, and also do "hidden volumes" in case you need plausible deniability - http://www.truecrypt.org/
I dunno. Wasn't part of the HDCP thing that it was an end-to-end security measure? HDMI has both audio and the video, so maybe the audio output driver is trying to do some checking of the decoded audio stream...
OK, so the monkeys have shown that they're intelligent, and have language. So, what's the solution? Learn it and then teach the monkeys the concept of property rights and expect them not to hunt the livestock? Maybe teach them farming too? While not impossible, this approach gets difficult very quickly. OTOH, they already have some rights protected by law (eg, don't kill the monkeys), so maybe it's not such a huge step.
I still think it's easier to go old school and kill a few to show 'em who's still the baddest primate. Which raises the question, where are the hell are the men when their women and their food supply are under threat? They should be out there kicking monkey ass.

Dude, that deserved to modded Insightful.
Okay, I think I get it... Just trying to learn a bit more about the options available without resorting to Xen or VMWare virtualization.
So pretty similar to Solaris Zones then?
You forgot Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and others. Many, many, countries have a US Military presence retained there...

For great justice just install Ubuntu.

YMMV.

Water-borne gene-therapy to cure you of your genetically inherited political leanings.
Is my tin-foil hat secured tightly enough?
So rather than complain about it, why don't you post the coordinates here?
So why, exactly, do patents last for 17 years in the U.S., while copyrights last almost indefinitely (life of the author plus 70 years)?
Disney et al.
I agree, it's more about Intel than Nvidia.
