> Install antispyware and antivirus, keep at least one firewall...and an extra CPU or two (and bandwidth) to handle it all.
Does anyone else wonder what effect all this antiX s/w has on performance? I don't mean just CPU performance, but it seems you can't do things like stream from network direct to disk - eveything has to go through the CPU (where the antiX s/w is running) now.
It seems like something nVidia could integrate into their nForce offerings, like they do with their firewall. Hrmm, a bit more tricky, I suppose.
you should try a Mac OS X....it keeps the menu for each and every window on one screen. not too bad if you're working with one application designed for that use (photoshop, for example), but a nightmare if you're working with more (esp. if they're different sizes).
I used to use an SGI Onyx2 loaded with DG5-8s. Eight monitors on one display surface(aka pipe), (I forget how many display surfaces you could have - upto 12, I think).
I didn't have enough monitors/cables to attach to every output (they are still useful even when you can't see the output - they can be used to parallel process images destined for a different output, or for a different computer on the network using VizServer).
OK, I'm curious. I find it easy to give away money, so I don't particularly admire him for that (though, in his case, the amounts are more useful to their recipients, of course).
However, you say 'time'. Do you have any references where he spends his time 'helping' the poor or otherwise?
I used to have feelings akin to 'hate' for him, but he's become more of a human as I've learned more - and TFA helps too.
the nokia 770 has those things, apart from the cell phone (and last year they promised voip would be added 'next year')...
I was planning on getting one, but my priorities have changed. I would have used it with my SonyEriccson t68i as a bluetooth modem. Supposedly, you could use a bluetooth headset for the phone bit, if necessary (I don't use the phone much - mostly use it for sms).
Indeed, om the whole, I agree. I don't know where you're talking about, but it's that way here in China too.
I was talking personally - ie, *I* *know* *I* have paid for my copy of MS Windows, so I don't see why I should pay for it over and over.
I don't know how the situation in China would change if everyone were suddenly forced to pay the full price for their copy of MS Windows. Would they suddenly decide Linux isn't so bad/etc/etc? I'm not sure...
> the shell has to be bash, I don't like trying to remember more than one shell's special escape behaviors.
if I'm understanding 'escape behavior(sic)' correctly, bash on it's own has more than one set (vi vs emacs) - fortunately, since I use the 'vi' set (which confuses the hell out of people who try to use my computer when I'm logged in).

Try that on files/directories containing spaces...(at your own risk)...
> they will wipe it out and install a pirate Windows...or, more likely (IMO), they are replacing an existing computer and just install that computer's copy of MS Windows onto their new computer.
Personally, I don't have a problem with pirate copies either, actually, since I've paid for MS Windows many many times, over the years. I don't see why I should pay for it each time I buy a new computer or because the CDs don't work any more. In any case, I don't use it, so it's academic.
No. The only thing different now is that we now know it is a fact, and not just a rumour.
Just because we didn't know it was a fact before, doesn't make it not a fact...else, well, facts would vary depending on each individual...and that's just silly.
I also note that SGI's old O2 could also have 1GB of memory, as well as the 320 (upto 1GB) and the 540 (upto 2GB), although they all shared that memory with the rest of the system in some way...
not that graphics power has any effect on ImageMagick...so one of the above systems in it's Origin (ie no-graphics) config would work just as well - they can have many many CPUs (though they are each distinctly underpowered by todays' standards) - I wonder if ImageMagick is multi-threaded...if you have more than one image, then fine:)
Why are US people so concerned about people in China? I've lived here for years and people here aren't afraid.
No, if you want to help people in China, leave companies like Google alone and concentrate on stopping companies like McDonalds and KFC selling their crap - get them to leave China and you automatically help the Chinese population avoid becoming massivley obese like in the US.
Well, how about a window manager that you can make work the way you want it to, instead of being forced to work some other way.
Focus-follows-mouse. No-autoraise (so you can type into background windows). X11 support is less than good (none of the applications work as clients, for example).
No, I hate Aqua (though it is pretty), but I love that OS X is (almost) unix and I love the hardware. I'll get Ubuntu on my Powerbook (3 years old and still going strong - though it's been rehauled a few times), just as soon as the wifi works.
IINM, MS Windows NT, which, IINM, is the core of the current round of MS Windows was developed on MIPS processors, so you could say it was ported to Intel.
I guess that might work - assuming it isn't the 'first' login ie, if you're not logged into a machine, then there might be nowhere to type a 'tab' so that you can copy it. I haven't tried having such a character in my password, so I don't know.
Copy/pasting is also a fair way of avoiding keystroke loggers when logging into web sites (email web clients, for example), ssh and such - open a command prompt and do a 'man ascii'.
Well, ok, though I was thinking of those login programs that take 'tab' to mean to move focus to the next thing - eg move from username to password, or from password to domain.
...hrm...I seem to remember a company called Silicon Graphics, or was it SGI...they had a great filesystem back when they were still in business - cxfs or something, IIRC. Oooh, they left their web site running - must be by mistake since I'm sure they went out of business a while ago...

Now that is how to do multiple monitors properly!

I still hate what he's done to computing...

Nuff said.

you mean "betamax", right?

You should've made the password something with a tab in it...(works on some login methods, but not others).
Actually, no, it is the foundation of pretty much any nation...copy/steal/whatever from other nations.
