See this really raises a serious question for me about your project. What I like about the *BSD's is that they are integrated OS with their port trees or whatever as opposed to Linux being just a bunch of package thrown on top of a kernel. Well how can you justify a 1.0 release when even you admit that your port system is a hack and you're not even sure what you want to do with it? Seems like jumping the gun a little? I don't mean to troll but I'm sincerely interested.
They felt that the approach the FreeBSD was taking for FreeBSD 5 was going in the wrong direction. I believe they hada problem with all the Mutexs or something specific like that. The main focus of DragonflyBSD is scalability and clustering. The are hoping to have SIS (Single Image Systems) as a priority. It won't be hear anytime son but thats a long term goal. OSNews has had some stuff on them over that last while. Here is the thread http://osnews.com/comment.php?news_id=7660 and here is the torrent I used http://download.exodusmachine.net/torrents/dfly-1. 0REL.iso.gz.torrent .

I really cannot understand your post. Please don't mod me as troll, but are you saying that instead of writing the compiler in scheme they should just write in Scheme? I can't tell if you are looking down on Scheme/LISP or up at it.
I don't consider this OT since I'm just asking the original poster for clarification.
How will this work with DHCP where the IP address is not constant at all. How about using the MAC address of the card? At least it's something that can't be cheaply replaced (I get a different IP everytime I log on) or at least not by the majourity of people.
Is now owned by Best Buy, but was originally a Canadian company. And I'm sure you know how sensitive we Canadians are to being invaded by Americans. So they are keeping the Future Shops around till they can transition us over to the Best Buy. It's not like I ever spent a lot of money at Future Shop, but I'd rather spend it at a Canadian chain. However I don't look a good price in the mouth when I need an item. A Linksys Wireless G card comes to mind.
what exactly does must accept any interference they experience entail? does this mean installing shielding (eg strapping on large slabs of lead) is illegal?
Does anyone know of this company? Are they another AdTI? Any known connections to SCO or Microsoft? Is it tinfoil hat time or is it time to reconsider our prejuidices about stability and security?
if they sold these things at the lowest possicle price to cover cost and profit.
hello, welcome to capitalism, this is not going to happen. Profit is good and they will charge as much as they can get away with as will anyone else. Just because you want one doesn't mean they ill change.
It makes it really easy to support 64/32-bit modes on Opteron systems.
Care to explain how that would help? I fail to see what difference that would. Do you mean something like using lib/usr/lib/mathtrig$ARCH.so or something so that depending on mode (ie. 32 vs 64) it will the according lib?
It was widely believed, however, that Microsoft had retained a team of hardware emulation experts to work on the problem
I'm tired right now but correct me if I'm wrong. IBM is producing the chips for XBOX2 so most likely it will be POWER/PPC based. VirtualPC emulated Windows on the Macintosh platform. This does involve making system calls, but it also requires emulating an x86 processor. It is known that PPC emulates x86 better than x86 emulates PPC. Microsoft bought VirtualPC. That gave them the IP of VirtualPC which did a good and (I assume) effecient job of emulating x86. This does sound too much like tinfoil from my perspective. That means if XBOX 2 drops backwards compatibility then it must be for market purposes (nobody wants it or it would eat into later profits) or that the bungled something in the architecture, or that it is not remotely PPC based; take your pick.
aw fuck... don't tell me that "there is no way... tell Ken Brown" becomes the next uneradicatable meme along with AYOB and beowulf and soviet russia... please stop now. and don't breed either.
An interesting film based on the premise of too much focus on DNA tracking is GATTACA.
Not to nitpick but I think you missed the point of the film. That was just a plot device to push the point of pigeonholing. Like most good sci-fi the point of Gattaca was much more everyday-- in fact you could related it to all those race theories and the civil rights movement. To make that film a commentary on DNA would be the result of a fairly superficial reading of the film. The film textbook by Comolli and Narboni has an interesting section on the four-levels of meaning, you might want to check that out.

If a keyboard has a USB hub in it (which is what I want) it would provide a convenient place to plug in peripherals like USB flash drives. I'm not in need of more bandwidth for my keystrokes but for a usb hub on my already crowded desk. perferrably the ports would be on my left not to interfere with my mouse. although on on the right for the said mouse would be appreciated.

The truth is that everyone should realize that their are too sides to every story. For somethings Windows in better; for others not. Anyone who believes otherwise is in for a boat load of trouble. Should we all boycott television because Downy ads are objective when comparing fluffiness of Snuggle? Face it, advertising is never honest, everyone knows that, and the OSS world needs all the money it can get to keep it going. It's the lesser of two evils.
Slashdot Mirror
personally I'm beginning to worry about that. Maybe I'm wrong but blaming a delay on code theft (theft != destruction) really made me wonder.
Read Matt Dillion's post. Most of the userland *IS* FreeBSD and most of the improvements are geared toward SMP.

Anyways best of luck in the future.

I believe LISP and Scheme are dynamic to but I wouldn't call them scripting languages...

are they real Apple Stores or just stotres that sell Apples? If so do you know the whereabouts? because enxt time I go down I'd love to check it out
got duped?
Yes, it looks like they got screwed and they RIAA is greatful to have removed some unwanted nventory.
which dates far far back to the 90's
please don't use the concepts of "far far back" and "90's" together... it makes me feel old.It was widely believed, however, that Microsoft had retained a team of hardware emulation experts to work on the problem

Nope. Regular opeterons use 940 pins. They took one pin off going from registered to unregistered RAM. No joke.

must suck. They seem to be hosting their site on Linux. Wow, now that word is out I doubt anyone will ever use them them again!!! QNX must be dying...
Your spoon will always make for a lousy fork.
oh you'd moan... except then it'd be a good thing!

Why would they use 800s but then put them in nodes of 4 instead of just using 400's? I assume that 400's would be cheaper and easier to manufacture.
