And your antivirus fights this malware exactly how ?
Antivirus is not able to detect an infection let alone clean the virus.
Nowadays the biggest virus is the antivirus. It uses system resources and compromises system security giving a false sense of security. An antivirus is good for old viruses. New viruses are rarely caught by antivirus software. For your exercise check how modern antivirus software detects the virus spread in the last two years by autorun.inf.
This used to be the Unix Philosophy, before someone decided that it would be really cool to force everyone to use your own specific applications rather than building independent apps and window managers with some kind of standardised communications for anything that needed two apps to talk to each other.
I think this was (and is) called CDE. But windoze lusers dislike it because it's so UNIX. Instead you have windows dll hell replicated in GNOME and KDE.
I use fvwm with a custom menu though usually i start xterm through a key combination and then i type the name of the program i want.
file manager - midnight commander( preferred ) or xfm
web browser - opera
torrent - ktorrent (though it sucks badly but it's able to do the job in the end)
movie player - mplayer
editor - vi(m)
office - openoffice
pdf - gv or xpdf or ( as a last resort if it's a very special pdf file) acroread
You must be a windows admin. Yes x86 server hardware might be powerful but you also need to interconnect it and there's where it dies. The PeeCee architecture is a serial architecture. Almost nothing is parallel. You can have a processor with 12 core using one memory constantly thrashing it's cache because of stupid OS design. I saw quad core Xeon having trouble running two tasks at the same time. YMMV though
When more and more apps leverage OpenCL 1.1 [and the list is growing rapidly] using the likes of LLVM/Clang where AMD has worked hard at leveraging you'll begin to see a lot of these ``benchmarks'' being truly useless and tuned specifically for Intel.
Maybe you should talk to the soldiers and their families who continue to enlist and re-enlist to fight for your freedom--something most liberals wouldn't even consider doing.
petrol!=freedom
Maybe they enlist and reenlist because they love to kill people.
There's a saying: Join the army, see the world, meet a lot of interesting people and kill them.
keyes? Let me guess, this is a KDE version of that immenseley useful *X* eyes app, which also does nothing but follow your mouse around the screen. Perhaps the better question is what purpose did this ever have in X to begin with. It's surely only being reproduced for nostalgia factor.
You're surely wrong. X contains some programs which are used as a reference implementation of some things. xeyes is a program that tracks the movement of the mouse pointer.
We don't have the sort of corrupt and evil government that you hypothesize above, but if we did, the people would not stand for it and would throw them out of power in a heartbeat.
As a physics professor, I would guess that I'm WAY better qualified to judge that than you are. Sorry about ruining your religion and all.
As a hardware engineer I tell you that what you're talking about is theory which is, unfortunately, different from practice.

All the bugs make you feel like you're stuck in the fucking woods without any toilet paper.
That's a good one. I use linux because it saves my time. I use latex because it saves my time. With the crappy Microsoft programs you have two options: their way or the highway. Smart people don't fsck their time changing the stupid defaults mickeysoft applies to their documents.
solaris 10 isn't ready for the desktop either. Could you imagine using CDE for the desktop?
Yes. It's much better and decent than KDE and Gnome and doesn't eat all your memory. The features are the same: still tree fscking buttons on the title bar.
The main advantages would be that you have a root menu and that the configuration is much simpler

My wife almost killed me when "Rammstein - Feuer Frei" came on full volume at three a.m. one night.
It could have been worse. it could have been "Pussy" instead of "Feuer Frei"
Mynd you, mÃÃse bites Kan be pretty nasti...

Sounds like young Richard missed out on a promising career doing OS design for Microsoft.
He wrote the GNU/Emacs operating system. Isn't that enough ?

The benchmarks are already useless and tuned for Intel. see http://www.agner.org/optimize/blog/read.php?i=49
These all came from academia http://bwrc.eecs.berkeley.edu/classes/icbook/spice/
Whatever you're smoking, must be really strong. Can i have some ?
That's why they do benchmarks with Excel.
Hardware accelerated XLS. It's very good for benchmarks. http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1060/9/

Highlander ? Are you there ?
maybe they want to fix the bugs
you forgot to tell us your ip address
i guess ;)

That's an incredible technology
Too bad it doesn't work in real world
