Why don't you just have totem use artsd as the output? Or GStreamer? Both of which are supported by Amarok.
Also if you know your sound card's model and vendor its dead simple to set up your ~/.asoundrc by just going to ALSA's site and putting the example config into it (works great on my crappy laptop sound card).
Your high if you think this leak will have a serious impact on OS X's market share. Considering that there will probably be ZERO programs released for it for a couple years, whos going to run it?
Also 75% of the computer using population wouldn't have the slightest clue on how to install it.

AMD Quad Cores, Oh My
·
· Score: 1
You could run multiple things at once (one of the biggest reasons for going dual-core). As more cores start becoming common, developers will start writing apps that are better at running on multiple cores.
Developers always figured out a way to use any extra power our computers got in the past, so I doubt this will be any different.
Server apps will love more cores, especially when slashdot links to them, especially for highly dynamic but small pages.
Actually it should be only a couple hours (like 3-5, if even that much since most likely the lowest end quad-core's individual cores should be faster than the current highest end single core following AMD's currently trend)... Though on my 1.9ghz Athlon XP I've spend about 6 hours a day for a week compiling KDE and still aren't done... Gentoo is better in the winter than summer, keeps my room nice and toasty!
Linux has more processes because of the philosophy of the programs doing 1 thing, and doing it well. So most of those programs (all the ones w/ a PID of lower than 1000) are going to take next to no resources (ram and processor speed).
On my windows box I have about 24 processes at boot (4 of which are little things things like Winamp/OO.org Quickstarter, program so my DVD drive can actually play videos due to a bug in the drive's firmware, and Kerio Personal Firewall), and on my Linux (FC3) box I have 62 processes (I'm running KDE and not XFCE and other apps, so thats probably part of the reason I have more than you)
It wouldn't be much of a challenge to create a fuse filesystem that exposes DCOP on a filesystem level. You would have the path to the mount point, in this case lets call it "/ipc".
So lets say you want to get the currently playing track in amarok, all you would do is: cat/ipc/amarok/player/title
of course thats no easier than the current method of: dcop amarok player title
What you said can easily be done in KDE if the app is written to support it (by exposing a dcop interface for the widgets in question).
Windows does run on Xen, though it can't be used on Xen because of licensing issues. Using the virtualization support in future CPUs Xen will support Windows (and any other X86 OS).
6-7 hours??? My P4 based laptop is lucky to make past TWO hours! Also it can cause severe burns if used for extended periods of time in your lap (and of all places, thats the one you definitely DONT want burned).
What problems do you have with circuitcity.com? I just checked in Konqueror (3.4.1) and it rendered fine for me. Is it a subpage and not just the main page? If your not running KDE 3.4.1 (released tuesday) then upgrading to the newest version may fix whatever problems you have.
Its great to hear that Yum is making good progress, I use Apt on my laptop (FC3), and like it a lot because in the past it has been loads faster than yum, though when I installed Fedora on my friends computers I have had trouble getting apt installed, and had to settle w/ using yum on it, and found it to be painfully slow, so its good to hear that progress has been made. Hopefully there will be a front end like synaptic soon for it.
Fedora doesn't release any updates for KDE after it (Fedora) is released. I use KDE-RedHat for all my KDE upgrading needs (and I get full mpeg support then).
This happened a week or so ago with a massive amount of posts, then slashdot required ACs and low karma users to put in an authentication code for every post and they stopped for a while, I don't know if the authentication codes are still required or not (never had to use them), but I just started seeing them around yesterday again.

>Don't you mean X-Windows? Get it right
Don't you mean the X Windows System? Get it right.
Actually the X-Windows System and X11 mean the same thing.
OMFG... And to think I just bought a TV-Wonder card like 2 weeks ago!
(My AIW card wouldn't work in ANY OS! It would make Windows BSOD like mad, and I was always too lazy to recompile Xorg.

Duke Nukem Forever is released for the Phantom, and to everyone's surprise, the Phantom is powered by Longhorn.

That would be taken care of through uploading your brain (http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/05
The n00bs would still spawn camp though... and still get their ass kicked anyways.
"They summoned thousands of daemons from hell"
Daemons aren't evil. Demons are.
Fedora Core 4 is about to be released, and it will have support for Xen out of the box. It won't be long before other distros make a new release.
Also using the tech Intel and AMD are making Xen will be able to run Windows w/o any modifications.
Windows does run on Xen, though it can't be used on Xen because of licensing issues. Using the virtualization support in future CPUs Xen will support Windows (and any other X86 OS).
Even if Cell doesn't beat out x86, long as it scares Intel, AMD, Apple, and Microsoft into working their asses off it will be a good thing.
The SPEs do what Altivec does and then a whole lot more. The Power chip in it is a Power5 (a G5 Mac uses the Power4).
Even without the power of the SPEs the chip should be pretty powerful.
If that was the case, someone could possibly modify say GRUB to switch into 32-bit protected mode (assuming it doesn't already), and then load OSX86.
RedHat already fullfills their obligations under the GPL and then some. Anyone is free to download the source of RHEL.

Does iCab use Webcore? If so then it isn't really a different browser than Safari, just a different front end.
(Since I can't read the site I don't know)

So... it would be a Transmeta processor?
