If you really wanted to get technical FreeBSD is heavily fragmented within for the purpose of code creation without toe stepping.
TrustedBSD, SMPng, and KSE stuff were all seperate BSDs (temporarily anyway).
Branching source for the purpose of better co-ordinating development without forcing others to wade through your broken source or wait on you is a good thing.
However, I'm not overly fond of Linux branching for development by indivials rather than for a specific project -- but thats just a labelling issue:)
To achieve 3d acceleration for the G400 on FreeBSD one needs to install XF86 from the ports tree (or the package -- as they're generated from the ports tree).
Next install the graphics/drm-kmod port.
Either reboot, or run:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/drm.sh start
then restart X (if its running, otherwise start it).
glgears should get several hundred fps on a G450. Total time from install to 3d support was around 3 minutes for me -- most of that shutting down and starting X (many many applications run by default for my configuration).
ipnat, ipf, and various other tools of that nature have modules installed by default.
Looking forward to the day when kernel modules are a 'load on use' resource. That is, if you try to access/dev/snd it'll load sound drivers until it finds one that works and goes with it. devfs will do some of that, and the rc.conf options also do some of it (in 4.3 or so it does for ipnat).
echo 'ipnat_enable="YES"' >>/etc/rc.conf
The above should load the ipnat kernel module and get you on your way at the next reboot.
NOTE: The above statement depends on ipfilter running, so:
echo 'ipfilter_enable="YES"' >>/etc/rc.conf
may be required as well depending on current configuration.
Thats precisely what you have. In somecases a thousand 32bit processors running in parallel rather than a single 32000 bit processor.
I even have a dual celeron under my desk as it was (and continues to be) cheaper than a Sparc or Alpha (and many others) but is (for what I do with it) close enough is speed to the other that I don't notice.
Funny, calling MS about issues with AutoCad or Oracle hasn't ever gotten us anywhere. We always had to call the company who we bought the product from.
However RedHat will support anything on their distribution CDs and I know where I can find BSD support for damn near anything (most of the core team is available for around $350 US an hour for phone support, Jordan used to do onsite support for a little more plus airfare -- and they'll support 75% of the ports tree (6000+ programs)).
MS supports what they ship, just like Oracle, Redhat, PGSQL Inc, and various other companies support their own products.
It's seldom that you can call a single vendor unless it's Dell or Gateway as you've had custom configured boxes sent your way -- in which case they support exactly what they ship too!
I highly doubt he wants to have to heat it in the winter.
Even southern ontario (Toronto) gets to -20 C periodically which is well below the operating temperature of any consumer grade computers. Military grade goes to what? -15 C?
Might be safe in Vancouver with the shack though:)
If MacOS X uses standard BSD VM systems it'll actually be faster to 'load' the program out of swap than it would be from the normal filesystem -- even if you discount CPU work involved.
Ugh.. apparently the/me runs wasn't enough of an indication that it wasn't meant to be taken as truth but was a dumb comment intended to bring the weeds out of the woodwork.
The UN is an insurance policy. Those benefiting from insurance more often pay higher rate than those who don't. Then again, Afghanistan really isn't benefitting from anything are they -- but you can't argue that the US didn't benefit (corporation policy wise anyway) considering the number of dumbass things pushed out under the 'fighting terrorists' clauses that were really for advertising, etc.
It shouldn't be based on economy size, but on the number of problems in the world you cause OR are involved in (takes 2 sides to have a war). If you go by that number I'm fairly sure the US 25% is closer to the mark.
Ah ha! I finally found one of the dumn nuts that I keep having to submit portability patches to in order to make their stuff 64bit compliant, or BSD compliant, or not depend on linixisms (hard coded paths).
Fact of the matter is the new cell phone feature used to be a size decrease. You CAN'T decrease the size anymore without running into huge issues -- like someone swallowing it or something.
Technology inside keeps decreasing, and there isn't much point in leaving empty space. Batteries are heavy, so you really don't want to add much more volume to it. Whats that leave? More and faster chips with neat new features that may or may not be useless.
I'm not a cellphone owner, nor do I intend to become one... atleast until my landline becomes more expensive and cellphones.
MS's Kerberos is a heck of alot closer to usable with other systems (works quite well if you use the base) than it would be if it was GPLd. They would have had a 100% new product.
Think about that for a minute. TCPIP stack is in the same boat. All the initial recipiants of it extended it a little BUT the fact we're still using it today should indicate something to you. They were good extensions.
haha.. Parents will turn that on. All the kids in school will go around say BEEP this and BEEP that -- using actual beeps just like their parents do.
Of course, that just means the word BEEP will become the new bad word a few decades from then. We can eliminate the entire language one word at a time this way...
I'm sorry, but between the Linux vm system fiasco and a few issues not that long ago I won't touch Linux 2.4 series with a 10 foot poll for my computer -- sure ain't shoving it into my head.
I'm thinking OpenBSD for this one. Very few serious issues and half descent out of the box security.
Grandma will run windows and will always wonder why shes broadcasting her recipes to all her friends on her Brainmail client.

Thats nothing.. The sale of Webhosting.com to SBC adds another 2 digits to that amount (178 Mil CDN).

Yes, they picked up a few clients and a few employees with the purchasse but it's still got to count for something

I have to question the person that marked this as informative when the link leads to a search result page with no results.
'Funny' may have been appropriate (vaporware) but certainly not 'informative'.

OH MY GOD. They stole all the fat and put it into their products. That explains the bloat.
So can I, but I cannot communicate those values to anyone as my nervous system (controllings hands, mouth, etc) cannot handle the load and crashes.
Too bad really. Having the answers to all the questions and not being able to share.

Considering what the constitution has bought the US in the last few years I think I'm going to place my bets behind IBM.
Their visible* track records over the last decade show my bet is likley to win.
* Many things both entities have done are not a part of my knowledge as that is what they wish -- atleast I assume I don't know everything.

Way too much AirFarce for you.

Perhaps.. But I don't think it's unrealistic to assume they have several hundred gigs in CDs laying around.
Ugh.. apparently the /me runs wasn't enough of an indication that it wasn't meant to be taken as truth but was a dumb comment intended to bring the weeds out of the woodwork.
Say, perhaps it worked?
Yes, I believe they should.
