use vgatool to save the state before suspend, then on resume have it do a post, then restore the state. Also I believe you can configure most BIOSes to enable/disable video post after resume.
Actually Apple was hardly a blip on IBM's radar, so they pretty much ignored them. If Apple had any supply problems it was because IBM didn't care about supplying them.
Call up your ISP's tech support and complain to them if they give some BS about how they don't support bittorrent, demand to talk to their supervisor and tell them how you are EXTREMELY unhappy that they are purposely crippling your service and keep complaining and calling them up till they get off their ass and do something. Most likely it will take several calls but eventually you will force them to uncripple your account. Pretty much all tech support works this way, they think most everyone will just give up and accept it after at most 1 call.
ReactOS is also aiming at compatibility with NT 5.x (aka 2000, XP and 2k3) and eventually NT 6.x (aka vista). User space compatibility with 9x should mostly be a by product of NT support.
This whole thing has to do with reverse engineering and the difference between whats legal in the US (one person examins, separate person implements), and the most of the rest of the world (one person can do both). Decompilers have been around for a LONG time, they aren't any thing new.
Microsoft has absolutely nothing to do with this code audit. It all was started because a developer started questioning the validity of some of the code so they temporarily closed down everything on the ReactOS site while the devs discussed what to do, so they decided that the safest thing they could do would be a complete code audit.

"These code fragments compile into machine code that is identical to fragments of leaked Windows source code."
This isn't about the leaked Windows source code, its about possible invalid reverse engineering (i.e. decompiled windows code)
I have an ATI card in my laptop (Radeon Mobility X300) and have to say its HORRIBLE. The fglrx drivers are incredibly unstable (and forget about composite), and they segfault when UT starts (apparently its a known bug with the fglrx drivers).
Well at least I didn't have to get a third party utility to mod the installer for the linux ones like you have to for the windows ones. If you have a choice between ATI and NVIDIA (especially for linux), always go NVIDIA. My old GoForce 5200 performed better than the X300 in my new laptop.
Also with the ATI drivers if you start a second X server the display will be corrupt and the screen will be stuck.
NEVER by an ATI all-in-wonder card. They are the work things EVER. I have an AIW 7500 and one of their stand alone TV capture cards, and the stand alone card works INFINITELY better than the AIW. Also ATI's control center stuff is pure CRAP (crashes constantly).
If NVU doesn't work for you most likely Composer won't work either (NVU was forked a while back and had lots of development done on it, now all the NVU code is being sent back up stream to Composer before the next release of NVU will happen).
Because not everyone has a second box next to them to use for Windows, because not everyone has an extra hard drive (or enough free space) to install Windows. What actually works in WINE generally works better than on Windows, I couldn't even install Call of Duty on Windows (it kept claiming my CD was in the drive, yes I did have the real CD in the drive), but it installed and worked great on WINE! Also lots of games act really bad with Alt+Tab in Windows, but everything works with switching between VTs on Linux (xinit `which PROGRAM` --:1 is great).
Not everything works with WINE (especially newer stuff), but what does seems to work great.
Because Windows is the base line. If Wine is as fast as Windows in a benchmark the devs know that they don't need to focus on that, if Wine is at -90% they know theres still a lot to do there. This isn't the first version of the benchmarks, I'm not sure how many revisions there have been, but I remember the benchmarks going back quite a while (I never knew they were being updated till I read about the new ones in Wine's Weekly Newsletter). It is meant to compare Wine against Windows, but only for use by the dev's.
You aren't gonna be able to download a Xen image of Windows because that would be copyright infringement. The original version of windows running under xen was made when Microsoft was still working with the Xen devs.
Gentoo has VMware Workstation, and the instantclients for Oracle in portage. There are loads of closed source apps in portage (though several with fetch restrictions turned on, like Cedega).
Gentoo is probably one of the best distros in managing packages (since they have the advantage of not having to provide binaries for everything). Portage is an incredibly powerful tool.
The one time I wish I had mod points, well looks like I'm gonna just burn my karama! Excellent reference! Now if only it was being done by multiple independent groups, then it would of been perfect!
That is rather different. For X.org this is just a different build system, and 6.9 (monolithic) and 7.0 (modular) produce exactly the same code. The linux kernel would have to be completely redesigned from scratch. For linux to become a microkernel it would have to be completely redesigned, and rewritten from scratch if its going to work at all well.
Try enabling transparency in the Kicker and you will notice how it doesn't change. I'm using 1.5 and KDE 3.5 and the GAIM icon isn't transparent (unlike all the other icons in the system tray).

Thats why you don't give them the key, nothing better than removing the human element from security!
"Pathetic is not a strong enough word."
Pot meet kettle.
Or you could use Gaim with the Gaim-Encryption plugin and use real encryption with _very_ little effort.

What is that 6.5 million based on? Is that the retail price of the product normally? Or is it that $250,000 per infringement copyright thing?

They can just remove your code from the kernel. Your non-existant code that is.
The FX-60 is a dual core FX-58 (I think its the 58).
Though with 11 streams he probably should of gone with dual core opteron

Xen vs Vserver makes no sense. Vserver isn't meant for running multiple, unrelated, operating systems.
