You will not hear me talking this way about anyone else, but Leonardo DiCaprio, and here is why: There was an italian family living in Germany, the DiCaprio family that has nothing to do whatsoever with the faggot Leonardo DiCaprio. They opened an ice-cream shop/restaurant and decided to call it DiCaprio (since that's their name). OK, now this faggot comes and sues them! because they are using HIS name to make money! HE sues who is swimming in the money and popularity, who will probably fuck the most pretty women on earth for the foreseable future, who has the world at his feet? HE sues a family living humbly from their hard work?
And you know what? The court in Germany decided in favor of the faggot Leonardo DiCaprio.
Well, after this, Leonardo DiCaprio lost any redeeming attributes whatsoever.
Plus, "The Beach" caused a lot of damage to the echosystem where it was shot.
He lived in the 16th and not in the 17th century, and his family name is Bruno, as many have already pointed out. Strange you could misspell Bruno, since it's such a common word. In italian, it means "brown heared". For example "ragazza bruna" would mean brunette.
I didn't know this before I read these news, but now I do: I needed a good JVM for Linux in order to competely switch my focus from C to Java. I will certainly continue working in C, but less and less. My company does a lot of Java developement (on HP UX and NT), but I wasn't very motivated to join R&D with Java. Now I am!
Why wasn't Valenti asked about DeCSS a bit more, namely, if he actually understands what it does, and that it's not a tool for making pirated copies? And that, actually, DeCSS would open up a much broader market of Linux (and probably other non-MickeySoft OS) to DVD movies? Why were these basic questions not asked? I believe Valenti would be glad to learn a few new things from the interviewer itself. We all learn new stuff all the time, and it's not like Valenti's head is too thick to "get it". He sounds like a smart guy and I have to agree with most of what he said. Too bad he wasn't asked the right questions.
(btw. Valenti is by no means a baby boomer, but you all know that already, don't you)
I have read about this system to read tracks in a vinyl record. I remember they mentioned 4 laser beams, and a Japanese company sellingtheir model for about 1000 US$.
Well, maybe I am saying the obvious, but for me, the best way of preserving those "black" discs, is to record them on CDs.
OK, but I didn't find it funny, because it reflects ignorance: IA64 is not a chipset, but a CPU architecture. And as for IA creating confusion with something that's forthcoming, IA32 is already here, so (by your logic) is the confusion.

The Russian govt. did it to themselves. As much as I don't like Reagan's policy, I am sure, (having lived in close proximity of the country) that the Russian govt. didn't need any help to bancrupt: the inefficient system of state-dominated economics based on marxistic doctrines, plus the VERY corrupt officials did the job wonderfully.
For those that don't know, Internet Explorer for UNIX was (is) probably the lamest piece of code ever to come from Microsoft. Netscape on HP-UX isn't very good, but IE is really crap.
There is also this paranoid thought that MS could use it to send info about Linux users worldwide.
I have submitted an article about Novell opening the source of some LDAP developement tool. Slashdot never published it. But they publish this article aobut Novell countering MS FUD.
Fine with me, but what Novell stated is truth, not FUD. (there IS a defference)
since I know many will try to host WML, WMLS (script) and WBMP (wireless bmp) content on their webservers, take note of the MIME types your server must support:
type text/vnd.wap.wml wml type text/vnd.wap.wmlscript wmls type application/vnd.wap.wmlc wmlc type application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc wmlsc type image/vnd.wap.wbmp wbmp
So, Novell has first invested in RedHat, then (last week) in Caldera and now in TurboLinux. And if they really release their NDS tools under the NCL, who says Novell isn't becoming a Linux company?
But then, again, with DigitalMe, NDS eDirectory, NDS Corporate Edition and the aquisition of JustOn, they might as well become an internet company.
Or, maybe any Linux company is also an Internet company.
Not only penguins but also seagulls and similar, they get this oil on the feathers and then they die. And now comes the unpopular part of what I feel I have to say: big chunk of responsibility is on US materialistic, consumistic mentality. Do you know that the average US citizen consumes more than twice as much resources as a European, and hundreds of times more than an Indian.
Look, I know you americans like cars, but I have never seen so many and so big cars like in US. Many of you people have more than one car, and in many cities a pedestrian has a tough time. In US the public transportation is pathetic compared to Finland or Germany. And that, dear friends, makes a difference. Public transportation, expecially trains and metros, have proven to be a great means to protect the ambient. And to consume less oil.
I have asked many US friends why is the public transportation so bad in US (not everywhere, of course, but in the great majority of towns) and the cars so big? It turns out that the US oil and car companies are strongly connected to lobbysts and very politically influencial in general.
Sorry if I have offended anyone living in US; I am actually very fond of Americans and the US, but if we talk about ambiental problems, the US is partly to blame.
Maybe you think this issue is not important. However, today we have already exterminated many animal specias, polluted the air, the rivers and the oceans very significantly, and there is a very important phenomenon of global warning. Many forests in south america and in other parts of the world have been burnt, and the ozone layer that protected us from damaging UV rays is thinned. And all these processes are just aggravating. If you have a vision and not only live for today, you will think about what is going to happen to our home, the earth, some 50 to 100 years from now. I am afraid it will look more and more like Mars, without a sheltering atmosphere that would protect from extremely cold and hot weathers, poor of oxigene and with a very limited variety of wildlife. That is scary.
OK, so how can someone who has built up all his career on deceiving the scientific community have the guts to sue someone? For YEARS the academic circles have been proposing to Mr. Geler a scientific investigation of his spoon-benidng capabilities, yet he has ALWAYS declined. He didn't like the aseptic lab environment and scientific methods, I guess.
OK; don't take my words for it, check on the facts yourself. What you will realize is that Mr Geller has as much credibility as the Zodiak or Numerology. I believe many people have built a fortune on the guillable and sily people of the world. I just don't get it when one of these criminals has the guts to sue for money! It just rubs me the wrong way.
Sorry, but not all of what you said is correct. First of all, the 5 way Be machines were built, but were not meant for selling. But they did exist, from the very start. Did I say they used PowerPC CPUs? In fact, they didn't, they used AT&T Hobbit processors. The first PowerPC-based BeBox had 7 CPUs! but I didn't mention it because I simply forgot. Yeah, I forgot that one, it never shipped and there are only the ones built for internal use in Be Inc. But still, and OS that can handle 7 (actually, they limited BeOS to handle up to 8) CPUs, for 60$, that's cheap, compared to, say, AIX. No, Yellow Dog won't cut it, the 2.2 kernel is still behind as for SMP.
As for the dual processor BeBoxen, I am surprised that you claim they were not shipped!? I know of many people using them, and they are far from being developers, or Be Inc. employees, just regular dudes (OK, maybe not completely regular: artists, ex Amigans and electrical engineers, as myself) that bought the computer. I don't have one, but sure I would like too. You should admit that the design of the BeBox, both estetical and technical, kicks butt. I would really love, for instance, to have something like the GeekPort, where I can easily connect my home-maid I/O cards and other experimental devices, directly to the system bus. Talk about open hardware specs! Also, the two load indicator running lights were really sexy and you won't find them anywhere else.
...but for BeOS this is really a gigantic "yawn", nothing more. The first Be boxes were running on 5 processrs, because Be was built from the ground up with multiprocessing in mind. It's amazing how just by adding a second processor you increase the performance of your applications by 100% flat. NT has good multiprocessing, Solaris has great multiprocessing. MacOS seems to have problems with that.
(and BTW, I was a bit disappointed with the performance of kernel-threaded Linux apps running on the 2.2 kernel.)
The DX-200 line of (mobile) phone switching centers uses a highly rendundant, highly scalable architecture using i486 processors. I don't exactly know where they get them, but I know they are selling the DX-200 like hot cookies.
As you have read, AMD have released for review a 800 MHz Athlon to some hardware sites (tech-report.com and Anandtech, for example).
What makes these news even more irrelevant is that the big hardware guys (Dell, Gateway) are not able to get PIII 750 MHz from Intel, let alone this new 800 MHz model! I think Intel is playing the good-ol' FUD card.
Slashdot Mirror
However, I also know they are wasting other people's money, that they made with their ultrahigh margins, the highest in this industry.
:o)
Funny. Dell says "PIII is more stable..." what a nonsense

Just for the record, the current price of BeOS r. 4.5 is 60 US$.

Well, this is actually what loadlin does under DOS to load Linux, and server.exe does under DOS or Win95 to load NetWare.
So, Novell has first invested in RedHat, then (last week) in Caldera and now in TurboLinux.
