Linux by itself isn't a service. Please find other ways to belittle people. His horrible spelling is a good one. I don't think anybody has caught all of his mistakes in one post yet.:D
If you are going to talk about benchmarks but refuse to provide a link and tell people they are lazy for asking, why post to Slashdot? Why post anything if YOU are too lazy to backup your opinions with anything other than your ego?
I've never noticed an speed difference between the Tonka look-and-feel and the Classic look. Do you mean disabling all the animation stuff to display things immediately instead of the rather unnoticable delay for the short fade-ins etc?
Most drives probably have a hard time sustaining ATA33 speeds. Higher HD *interface* speeds are for bursting of cached data. High speed ethernet is for bursting cached data OR running of a nice RAID setup that CAN saturate that 100MBit with ease:)
I've never quite understood their definition of dumping. I was led to believe that dumping was selling the products at a price below the real cost of producing and shipping that product.
Their definition seems to assume that the price of the product in the home market is the same as the price of producing the product. It is possible that the price in the home market is (much) higher than the cost of production because the consumers are willing to pay that price. When they take the product to a foreign market, they might not be able to sell it at the higher price per unit, but might be able to sell it for a lower price in greater quantities without selling below (cost + shipping).
I believe this expectation comes from the people that own their computer and in fact should be able to do anything with them since it is their property.:P
But once you throw in something that requires constant access to a huge unified pool of storage, SETI@Home would fall to its knees to a "mere" 35 TFlop supercomputer =)
I think he meant that they need to be asserted in order to prosecute. I think the RIAA wants that hurdle removed so they can have the DOJ prosecute pirates for infringing their copyrights and even those of people that don't care.
They are still different situations. Volunteer soldiers not operating a top-secret facility probably don't think "funny" pictures of Iraqis should be kept secret from other soldiers who proceed to blow the whistle.
Destruction of civilian targets was commonly accepted practice during World War II. I can't say the same for the use of hospitals and religious sites as hideouts in the present time.
Today's mid-range DX9 card will probably be able to handle Longhorn's graphics when it comes out. By that time, the mainstream OEM cards will HOPEFULLY have that kind of power too.
I think child porn mongrels should be thrown in jail for the REAL criminals to have fun with.
BTW, I believe it is illegal to simulate child porn as well. I believe this includes young-looking actresses dressing up as schoolgirls to portray little girls. I believe it also includes *simulated* sex scenes between two underaged actors.

Except people aren't paying for just the kernel but the entire OS. There were a lot of other non-kernel changes, FYI.

Something must've been wrong with the install because I haven't seen Windows XP crash since I stopped using an overheating PC a couple years ago.

hmmmmm. Open Source didn't save Netscape (the company). Why would it save Sun?

You can kill yourself, your passengers and other motorists with a General Motors product. Gmail will probably not kill anyone.

LMAO, good luck with that.
Backwards compatibility is also probably one of the reasons Windows has some of the problems it does.

What about the size of the contribution? I could have "contributed" by marking a checkbox on my tax return.
That's exactly how they screwed OJ. Criminal court found him not guilty but a civil court found him "responsible" (guilty).

Like the power ranger soldier uniforms?

How long until they start accusing innocent people just because they know they can?
And it makes better use of available graphics hardware to do its rendering. That in itself is a huge improvement.

That's the funny thing about patents. Continue an earlier patent and modify to fit something another company has done and PROFIT!
