Wow, you just explained the majority of the plot to gunbusters - an old anime series about fighting in space at near c, and the problems that arise on returning to 'earth' (won't say any more incase some of you actually watch it sometime)
No, he meant -10 - IIRC the problem is with the new scheduler in 2.6, increasing process priority has a tendency to cause 'hiccups' in process execution (deliberate) in an attempt to stop a few high prio/high cpu usage processes from killing interactivity, although throughput is mostly unaffected.
Of course this is from memory of someone explaining it to me real quick, so i'm probably wrong - but he did mean -10.
I don't think it does anything, well in bash at least the / gets expanded to root dir and the . therefore is referencing the 'directory' . in root, and., like in dos, just points to the current directory. So you had a file called tux in the root, you could reference it with/./tux.... but then/tux would do it as well.
I've noticed this popping up a lot recently as well. People seem to have this idea that microsoft had something to do with the creation of the internet and gui's etc....
Who said anything about not ruling ourselves (apart for stupid scare-mongering tabloids)? and believe me, the minute we break off from the EU is the minute we stop outperforming the rest of the EU.
But I do agree, while I don't think the EU constitution is anything to worry about, if the EU did try to take away britains sovereignty I would be one of the first to go protest.
Gates is getting a knighthood for contributions to international business while at the same time the EU (therefore by extension the UK) is fining microsoft for anti-competitive practices. Don't you just love irony?
A german website has released images of some code SCO claims linux copied. You can read the article (in german) here. (the code is in the two images)
We've been discussing this on the gentoo forums just now, and we've found that:
1) Their example is from the IA64 port of linux 2.4 (its not in 2.6)
2) Their example can be traced back to 2.11BSD
3) The greek in the sco code is actually english, with the font changed to english (Stupid obfucation attempt) heres what it says:
"As part of the kernel evolution towards modular naming, the functions malloc and mfree are being renamed to rmalloc and rmfree. Compatibility will be maintained by the following assembler code: (also see mfree/rmfree below)"
We're still discussing it on the gentoo forums here

An actually witty joke on slashdot... this must be am omen
Sorry, you must have typoed. You obviously meant activities to put us to sleep.

Google just use a different approach to the problem - intead of buying 'better' hardware, they buy more cheap hardware.

Actually, Debian is also a hurd distro
Yeah.... too much coffee

> we cant even set our own laws anymore without begging the europeans, it's pathetic.
What are you talking about?

Oh? And why would I be a traitor for not wanting to cripple UK business? As much as some people don't like it, we do need the EU.
I bloody well hope not.

Simple, microsoft pays the fine or doesn't trade in the EU anymore.
Oops, the fond was changed to a greek font, not english. Should have read what i typed a bit more carefully.
