That's probably because they were never brought to your attention.
You would have heard the sounds maybe once or twice at a time outside of DOOM, but very often when playing DOOM, so after having played it, you then start recognising them.
Kind of like when someone brings a word you thought you'd never heard before to your attention, you start hearing it everywhere...

Confidence because if the programmers couldn't account for the fairly obvious possibility of the document being too big, then what other stupid mistakes have they made?
And security because the sorts of bugs that cause crahses like that also sometimes _DONT_ cause crashes, instead they overflow into memory still owned by the application and possibly find themselves in executable territory - a buffer overun exploit.
All good programs should check all possible eventualities and handle them to give the user confidence in the application and protect them.
That's funny, I've had entirely the oposite experience...running XP in VMWare on Linux had minimum effect on the Linux host, and Windows ran acceptably well. I could even run an XP instance with 256Mb of memory and a 2000 instance with 128 meg along side, leaving the last 128 meg for the host, without much pain.
Running Linux in VMWare with an XP host however is just not the same experience - Windows starts swapping constantly and switching applications gets painful. (this is with 512Mb physical memory, 128 assigned to the Linux guest).
It's not about requiring, it's about considering....
Also the most significant part of the bill is not really about open source...it's about requiring the use of open standards, and avoiding single vendor lock in....
it wasn't the Jared ones that bother me so much, though the voiceover guy the have introducing him does bother me... But all their ads give the impression that they're just shipped straight over here and played....
Actually, testing as a distribution tends to end up more broken, and for longer than Unstable (Though the individual components are probably more stable than in Unstable) because far fewer people run it. usualy people want stability, so they run Stable, or up-to-dateness so they run Unstable....
Of course, having said that, I've probbably helped make the situation worse;)
Subway ads really bug me... Every time I hear one the only message it gives me is "Fuck you Australia, we don't even care enough about you to hire a cheap local voice actor, buy something or not, who gives a shit?"
All the other American fast food companies either produce local ads, or at least redub them.

Well NTFS was around for longer than Windows 2000, but even so, Microsoft is fully capable of providing access to APIs, or pre release versions of Operating Systems for companies that are going to help them....
>Fast user switching : new (yeah you can get close to this in Linux but not the same)
I fail to see how the concept of being logged in, and having applications open, then switching to a login prompt without closing any applications, and logging in as a new user counts as innovation. It's been around for longer than Microsoft has.

why does he deserve an answer?..what makes slashdot a Linux support forum?

Yes! I first heard that on Operation Mindcrime.....and got a shock when I heard it on some random TV Soap later...

That will make it show the ^Ms
C is already an efficient language....and that's what most operating systems are written in.
It's not the fault of the language how people use it, I'm sure people would be able to write big slow things just as well with Brook.

The problem is one of confidence and security.
Confidence because if the programmers couldn't account for the fairly obvious possibility of the document being too big, then what other stupid mistakes have they made?
And security because the sorts of bugs that cause crahses like that also sometimes _DONT_ cause crashes, instead they overflow into memory still owned by the application and possibly find themselves in executable territory - a buffer overun exploit.

Try reading the article...it wasn't forgotten....
Then don't move to 2.6
2.4 isn't going away, it's just not getting any new features put in the official tree.
So basically...it can't be a Good Game if it's designed to appeal to the audience it's being made for?.
The only Good Game is one that no one else wants to play, because then you can feel like a Real Gamer?

Ok, compare to Australia then...
We've had number portability for a couple of years now...and I don't think you'll find many countries much less densly populated.

Just out of interest, for those of us not in the USA, what exactly _is_ the defintion of a "Soccer Mom"?

That was the only real reason to use MP3.com from my point of view....
