This is the moment for open software browsers to get advantage of new technologies and gain market! If well played this can suppose the quantum leap that can become FOSS the desktop king.
The 2004/03/11 Madrid train bombings killed almost two hundred people, mostly commuters. Bombs exploded while trains where stopped at stations, but didn't produce many material losses. So the "devastation" was only human and animical.
We are not talking about dogs or cockroaches but people, young people. Persons who can speak, feel, talk and (I hope) think. Cannot we just argue with them? People that tomorrow will be adults and rule the show, all their life have been treated like beasts.
Is this the way USA educates its people?
While some Microsofties [sic] scream and preen and use politics to advance their little agenda, Don has always used quiet reason, common sense, and intellect to make the best possible decisions.
And his best possible decission is to left Microsoft for a surely more trusty carrer on car racing. Cool!
... for executing local applications. It consumes large chunks of processor time and memory (and the garbage collector never worked very fine), and is loaded and executed (so, add the loading time) for EVERY concurrent instance. Four or five simultaneous programs (think a simply web shop or corporative portal) can collapse your system, and its suposed to be designed for enterprise environments!The only thing Java does great is distribute the workload... Among the coders, I mean.
I disagree. PHP and ASP for instance are also server-side, and there is nothing Java can do PHP and ASP doesnt, faster and lighter. I used to code financial statistics routines in java that carve deeply into our database for a multi-million internation enterprise . Even with precalculated tables we have to stop public access to let the dual-procesor multi-gigabyte Sun big-iron not die of exhaustion. Today I code in php and run like such painstaking routines over a 2Ghz/512Mb Debian PC and the only care is for disabling the 30-second timeout.
No, they arent. Java is designed to avoid you making mistakes out of mispointing and misreferencing. There is no void type. Every variable or instance has its type, and even simplest, best-studied silly method is a painstaking type casting forth-and-go.
Slackware-current. Using NVidia GForce4 MX440 (NV17) with Nvidias last linux driver (build five thousand and something) Xorg works exactly as XF86. Only quiks came from applications that dont find/etc/X11/XF84config-4. Soft-link to/etc/X11/xorg.conf and youre done.
Im Slackware-current user. Kernel 2.6.6 didnt cope with my VIAs ide controller at all: Unable to boot, neither ACPI disabled. Kernel 2.6.7 has bt848 module broken, video_buf module exactly. ALSA driver modules behaves extrange. Kernel 2.4.26 works fine.
Fresh Slackware 9.1
last 2.6 kernel
last 3.2 KDE
Elegant, simply, up-to-date, clean, everything in its place, any annoying n-plicated unworking wizards.
Latins have been using it from ages literally. At Spain its called "botijo" and keeps water cool even at the most torrid summer days by simply putting it in the shadow and letting the water transpire trough ceramic.

By the way, I have rolled a rag to a broom stick for washing floors without kneeling down. Its really clever. I want my Rolex.
I did that mod too, but it hardly improved the speed by 2%. AMIGA gorgeous architecture was synchronous in a way that memory accesses, system buses and custom chips followed a common state machine ruled by the 28mhz clock. So overclocking the clock only makes it to wait for memory cycles (processor was able to access "slow" memory only at even clock cycles)
Sometimes big size and bulkyness maybe good. Once I recovered an old 5(1/4) 10Mb IDE drive that had the 0 track damaged, so fairly unusable, by pushing the heads a few tracks into the plate while holding the stepper motor, making "0" track being in another place of the disk. Crack, crack. Then low-level format.
The new 9.5Mb drive worked like a charm.
User has to have internet, even a spare RJ plug. So it can use SpeakFreely or Netmeeting or whatever for free. The recipient has to have the same configuration, too. The main diference is that the SIPPhone is an independent device and rings on incoming calls, for only 129$.
I cannot see the meaning of these all.

Theres nothing like RTFA :/

Yes, but... Linus can run with it? Oh... Wait...
One of every five new came from him. It is earning something for this.
