In current Unices, mmap can map the same file with different permissions from process to process.
True; this way you can attach a shared library into your code ("text") and data segments. However, if you think about the wikipedia article, you see that the Multics model differs from Unix method substantially. Process A can request pieces of Process B linked into it, then call the linked in piece of code and actually read and modify the pages which belong to Process B (using the code of Process B). You can't do that in Unix.
You can achieve the same functionality by using shared memory, but then Process A's code could access Process B's data, which is quite different in security point of view. It is a bit like a system call, but instead of calling the kernel, you are calling another process.
Some people call using it a "code review". If you are really serious about it, post the code to/. - plenty of people here seem to have time to point out any spelling errors.
Hmm, yes, so the IFO file is missing / empty. I just checked that vlc is able to play the VOB files just fine without the IFO, so it seems to be somewhat redundant anyway (to my understanding, it contains things like subtitle color and chapter information, what else?).
Of course, AnyDVD website mentioned in TFA says nothing about how the software works. Summing these two, makes me think it might be actually developed by MPAA - not unlike Microsoft entering Antivirus market. Conspiracy!
"Listen. And understand. That RIAA is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are sentenced or will settle."
Yeah, right. Kids today have it easy. When I was young, there were no such things as save or pause button. When your friend called you, too bad, can't come to phone right now mom.
Probably because int 2 was not reserved for anything else so picking that one would cause least mayhem with existing software. Int 0 was timer, 1 keyboard, 3/4 serial UARTs, 6 floppy controller and 7 parallel port. Those were the times, no PCI autoconfiguration or APICs!
It is a breakthrough, because having a shitty, flaky, unfixable and unsupportable binary-only driver is better than having no driver at all. Don't use it if you don't like it. As someone who writes closed source device drivers, I sincerely welcome this. Now, if someone just convinced Linus to add this (or similar functionality) to the "vanilla" kernel...
Good advise. This reminds me of those long sessions in front of my trusty old Amiga 500 & TV, staring at the 640x512 50 Hz interlaced display for hours, hacking some useless programs. Due to very low refresh rate, you just had to pick some low contrast colors. Talk about stress testing eyes...
Now that I can have 1600x1200 at 85 Hz, it feels like cheating.:-)

I had the same problem until I went for 0% PWM. I never get headaches and eye strain anymore. Try it out.
I did not know that Warner's music was GPL'd. Thanks for the info.
Unfortunately, this is probably exactly what Microsoft wants.

Guns don't kill people. NRA kills people.
As for real 2D games: A while back I got NetHack to see what the fuss was about. I was confused at first, the appeal was lost to me.
No wonder you were confused; Nethack is 3D. Don't tell me you never escaped a hopeless situation by zapping a Wand of Digging to '>' direction.

What makes you think it is better to give the information to blackboxsearch.com instead of Google?

And how many minutes do you think it takes someone to apply the good old Shift key -crack? :-)

I honestly can't figure out how browsing Slashdot is related to sex (I don't count goatse links). Maybe you could enlighten me?

What is your eBay user ID? I'm interested in buying some... storage.
I think this one is way better.
It's obviously leetspeek - though GRBOSOSOGB does not make it much more sensible to me.
Isn't that the entire point of the contest? At price of one Xbox per hole plugged...
Don't they mean a "bit"? How can you store a whole byte with just two magnetic orientations?
I guess that is exactly the question the researchers were thinking when they said "the greatest difficulty will be with the reading of information".
It is about time those Martians stop using IE. I bet most of my spam comes from there...
Of course it does.
