who cares if it performs? Me for one. If I'm going to fork out for a 300gb hard-disk, ok maybe I might not want 8mb cache as I'll mainly use it for storage, but I want at least 7200rpm. Just because it big doesn't mean it can't be fast aswell.
Where do you see C++ going as a language? I think I'll just clarify that. In four or five years, what changes would you like to see happening to the language, and how realistic it is to be able to achieve those goals in that time period?
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12 - The SCO Group, the company that touched off a computer industry slugfest last spring by suing I.B.M. over its use of Unix software, may find itself embarrassed by a similar claim against a company once related to SCO.
Since filing a lawsuit claiming that I.B.M. added parts of the Unix operating system to the freely distributed Linux software, SCO has threatened other computer companies, the open source software movement and hundreds of corporations that rely on Linux, saying they are unfairly using Unix software that SCO owns.

But in an unpublicized case, one of SCO's former sister companies, Lineo, has agreed to quietly settle a third party's accusations that it engaged in the same kind of copyright infringement that is at the heart of SCO's claim against I.B.M., industry executives who have been briefed on the matter said.
The case spotlights the behind-the-scenes role of Canopy, an investment firm formed by Ray Noorda, the founder of Novell and a personal computer industry pioneer. Canopy is SCO's largest shareholder and formerly controlled Lineo.
Mr. Noorda, who has retired, acquired the rights to the Unix operating system from AT&T in 1992 while he was running Novell. He hoped to use Unix in his strategy to compete with Microsoft. Later that strategy shifted to backing the freely distributed Linux operating system, and Mr. Noorda helped finance a number of Linux software companies, including Caldera Systems, which last year changed its name to SCO Group. Lineo, was spun out of Caldera in 1999 and sold to Motorola last December.
Lineo was sued last year by MontaVista, a maker of software for specialized computers used in consumer and industrial applications that is based in Sunnyvale, Calif. The MontaVista executives said they had been notified that software their programmers had written and licensed under the GNU General Public License - the license that governs companies that distribute Linux software - had appeared, with copyrights removed, in Lineo's software. The license, which allows for the free distribution of software, still requires that the copyright notices be retained.
Neither side would comment on the settlement, which was put under a court seal last month.
SCO, based in Lindon, Utah, has been pursuing its litigation since shortly after Darl McBride took over as chief executive in June 2001 and decided that the company's commercial Linux strategy was failing. Under Mr. McBride, SCO has aggressively pursued what it contends are its intellectual property rights over the parts of the Unix operating system that it says I.B.M. transferred to Linux.
IBM and others in the open source movement note that SCO has provided little, if any, public evidence that its copyright has been violated.
Canopy is now SCO's largest shareholder, with two seats on the company's board, and has played an important role, analysts say, in shaping SCO's legal strategy.
"All roads lead to Canopy," said Laura Didio, a computer industry analyst at the Yankee Group. "They've been pretty clever in the way they've played this."
Although it styles itself as a low-profile early stage investment firm, Canopy has had other significant legal successes. In 2000 the firm won a $250 million antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft over its earlier DOS operating system. In August another Canopy-owned company, Center 7, won a $40 million ruling against Computer Associates.
Although neither party would comment on why the Lineo-MontaVista lawsuit had been sealed, legal experts said that it was probably because it might have a direct bearing on the dispute between SCO and I.B.M. One possibility involves a legal defense known as "innocent infringement" in which a copyright violator infringes unknowingly. If it became public knowledge that Lineo admitted guilt but settled for a relatively trivial sum by invoking that argument, it might come back to haunt SCO.
41 percent of respondents are at least thinking about switching away from Microsoft software But I bet less than 5 percent will. As long as there isn't a viable alternative to Microsoft software they won't have any choice.
Sir Haxalot is a karma whore troll. He is currently trying to gain Karma by posting google cache links in various articles all over slashdot so he can later use his karma-enhanced account to post trolls later on without worrying about killing his karma and having the added bonus of posting at +1 or +2 while doing it.
The sad thing is that when he posts links, he posts the same links that were in the article summary and violates copyright law by copying the article text verbatim. He even posts links to outdated Google Cache copies of the articles, even when the article links STILL WORK!
So moderators, I ask that you review his Posting History and see that what he does is nothing more than plagarism, trolling, and blatant karma whoring. I'm honoured that you care about me enough to even post that, thankyou:)
Now with a few TV tuner cards and some PC I can watch all of my favourite TV channels at once:) Or... with a few TVs and an antenne that lets you use multiple TVs you can watch all your favourite TV channels at once!
The revolutionary new Matrox Parhelia-512 high-fidelity GPU delivers a new level of visual quality, excellent performance and a wide range of innovative technologies. Parhelia-512 is an 80 million transistor, 0.15, 2D, 3D and DVD/video GPU with a true 256-bit DDR memory interface providing over 20 gigabytes per second (GB/s) of raw memory bandwidth. This AGP device supports unified frame buffers up to 256MB in size and integrates two RAMDACs, a TV encoder and support for dual TMDS transmitters. Designed to surpass the expectations of the most demanding professional users and PC enthusiasts, Parhelia-512 has three major goals: to dramatically increase the quality of all aspects of visualization, to sustain high performance for the most complex and demanding graphics rendering and to deliver a number of innovative and substantive features. Looks like Matrox has found a neche mark for high performance multiple monitor graphics cards
A complete circular one of these, completley surrounding me, it'd be like another world. How long is it till they bring out films that are filmed from all angles for complete immersion?
