    of course in order to do so with similar performace you need a machine weighing at 7lbs veruses the 15" power book at 5.6

    Thinkpad T42p
    OK, it is 5.9 lbs instead of 5.6, but the powerbook doesn't come to its foot.

    You need to carry a spare battery to last roughly the same amout of time on the battery.

    I can't find the spec, but it is about 4 hours. With the extra battery (which stays in the ultradock bay (and you don't have to "carry")), the battery life is 12 hours.

    And unless you are running Windows your Driver support is flaky at best.

    In fact, in France, we use the term "CV" and not résumé.

  4. Re:Try Gobolinux, or GNU Stow on Bundled Applications for GNU/Linux? · · Score: 1

    I totally agree with the parent poster.
    Stow is the solution to the problem.

    Here's how it works : every piece of software is installed in /usr/local/stow/package-name. (with, for example ./configure;make;make install prefix=/usr/local/stow/package-name.

    Then, you run stow, and it maintains symlinks in /usr/local/bin... and everything works seamlessly. No problems with statically linked libraries or whatever.

    If you want to delete a package, just delete it, and rerun stow to clean the symlinks.

  5. Re:ReactOS? on ReactOS Runs On The XBox · · Score: 1

    And why would they want to port some legacy software to a new plaftorm ? (move stuff, test...) If NT4 works well enough, no need to change. And if it does not, moving to something more recent would ease maintainability.

  6. Re:Why software? on Open Source Math Software For Education? · · Score: 1

    I guess that the parent poster means that you cannot find an analytic form of some integrals, and only approximate them.

  7. Re:Octave? on Open Source Math Software For Education? · · Score: 1

    As one trivial example, it takes a LOT less time to understand the concept of "100!" than it does to compute it!

    My 48gx with its powerful 3mhz proc computes this instantly ;) However for 1000! you could wait a bit...

  13. Re:Countermeasures? on Color Laser Printers Tracking Everything You Print · · Score: 1

    I've heard this argument many times and it is ridiculous. Photocopiers you find at Kinko's cannot make counterfeit money that looks real. Nor can color lasers.

    Maybe some of the more recent hi-res inkjets could do something good-looking, but reproducing the paper, the watermarks... is really more work than printing.

  14. Newsforge-isms debunked on Sun-isms Debunked · · Score: 1

    It would violate the GPL for Red Hat to require a binary license fee of end users. Red Hat charges for its products of course, but has neither the right nor the motivation to stop people from using it for free. The Red Hat license is the GPL, but the services connected with that software -- Red Hat Network -- are only available to paying customers.

    Hah. Where are the RHEL isos ?

    In this particular case, I dont't think that they don't get the GPL. They deliberately violate it : they removed the strings from the GPLed code... They also appear to illegaly distribute a file which came from Windows, after having altered the strings.
