Give it enough traffic and you'll see the server dying sooner with individual filtering. Think of all those procmail+spamfilter processes that will be launched by every user for every email...
I wonder whether the junk folder approach would have been better (assuming there's such a law about having to deliver all the mail, better deliver the probable spam separately).
Looks like Avalon3D will be some simplified wrapper around a subset of DX to extend/replace the GDI. I'm a little puzzled, though, about its use for Remote Desktop - there's no need to have 3D there. Does this mean that MS wants to do something like XWindows with RD, sending over a bunch of DX-like draw commands that wil be executed locally by Avalon3D?
good thing this wasn't modded Insightful. Some searching on Fedora's lists shows PartitionMagic detecting changes to the partition table after the FC install - and wrong ones, too (mismatched entries).
So it's not an XP thing, it's a mismatch with the Linux tools due to the changes in the 2.6 kernel.
Google shows up both quotes; if the statistics of the links has any relevance, then I was wrong - and I apologize for that. (though I think chicken sounds better, as the egg 'spawns' a chicken, not a hen ^_^)
The post was 'on topic' for the rest of it, though, although not in an obvious way ^_^. I don't believe there's much to say about the IE problem - particularly since Joe Q. Normal never heared of alternate browsers. For most non-tech-oriented users "browser" has no meaning - IE is just the thing you use to "get on the net". Remember the "Internet is AOL" impression a while ago?
Mozilla has no brand awareness among the majority of net users, and it shows. For a brief while Dell shipped Netscape 6.x as the default browser; I doubt they're still doing that, what with AOL's attitude towards Netscape nowadays. The only way most of the users will ever encounter the notion of a different browser is by having someone else settingg it up for them - not very likely. This is why MS can afford not to care very much about more than minimal standards support in IE. There is virtually no competition, not any that would be visible to Joe Q. Normal anyway. Maybe a heavy use of Opera on smartphones could alter that perception?
So... MS will keep doing the same thing with IE and have no worries, the Mozilla people will do the only thing they can - make the quality as good as possible and hope for a sustined (albeit slow) erosion of IE's user base and so on. The/. rantings will be inconsequential to all this, mine included.
Actually, that's precisely what it is. 2.6 reports a different layout (typically 16 cylinders instead of, say 255 in the logical one) and grub sets itself up this way. Next, it appears that even when the BIOS was explicitly instructed to use LBA access, this is somehow overriden by GRUB, with the result that trying to launch the NT bootloader fails.
The sfdisk solution on Fedora's bugzilla fails when sfdisk figures a partition does not start at the right cylinder boundary. Apparently, one can try to change the head count only for the windows boot partition, with the hope that it fixes the boot-through-grub problem (I am yet to try this). I guess the biggest problem is for people who don't have an LBA option in BIOS.
As a proof that it's not Fedora-related, I have the same problem with mdk10.
Finally, there seems to be no problem if one sets up the installer's kernel to use LBA access for the hd (no switching to CHS occurs).
Apparently, HP (of all people) had the nicest idea with this - make the cpu+(local) memory on add-on cards; this way, the 4-way system has 64G (see here for comments and links to the spec benchmarks w/ system description). The tyan mobos only go up to 16G, as they have 2 memory slots per cpu.
offtopic... amazing. Did that particular mod ever read the article? or he's clueless about the konqueror/safari overlap?
That aside, unfortunately Konq. is not "the best browser currently out there" (which, by extension, means Safari isn't either). Look up the Konq CSS rendering bugs on the kde buglists. Also, try getting it to use the xsl you associated with your xhtml file. Or xml+CSS. It's getting there, though.
About running on windows, Apple managed to untie Khtml from QT, so anyone really interested could presumably do the same for windows.
The beam angle in a laser is dictated by the parameters of the resonant cavity. Diode lasers have the 2 main factors wrong: small aperture (i.e. strong diffraction) and small cavity length (i.e. the 'beam' is not very 'parallel' to begin with).
[way way offtopic by now:-) ] I see, you were looking for something like 'let paypal be avoided'. I was kind of slow that night. But then, let the imperative be used - and make it cavetor;-)
with your permission, we should let the sleeping Latin lie now.
It's not that simple. Cosmology is now in a position pretty much similar to that of a butterfly trying to understand the passing of seasons. Moreover, as the name says, "dark" matter/energy is undetectable directly (at least, so far) - and it's quite challenging to figure out a 'simple' theory for something that not only you can't observe directly, but the indirect observations are difficult and not always very accurate.
Anyway, since it's not very likely that the knowledge of dark matter will have a significant impact on the daily life anytime soon, relax and enjoy the (slow-moving) show.
Then, we can do the Latent Semantic Analysis. In this new space, each axis is a weighted combination of all the words: documents and words coexist in the same space.
ok, got it - get a sparse point distribution, scrap the biggest common null subspace you find for the word matrices, then do some rotation to get meaningful combinations of these words... or something (lexical analysis).
(further down...)
Of course, systems that rely on such keywords are continuously updated and refined. Nevertheless, they are never entirely satisfying, even when using sophisticated Bayesian filters that are essentially weighted keyword systems.
so, weighted keyword systems (in particular Bayesian filters) are not so cool. Erm... wait a minute, WTF???
ok, maybe this vector approach is something entirely new and leaves existing methods in the dust. But this article seems to be doing a relatively poor job at explaining why.
Fortran??? Surely you must be joking. The typical mantra about Fortran being fast is such a broad statement that it's most of the times wrong. Sure, lapack/blas are written in Fortran - but that's hardly a statement of Fortran's speed superiority (optimized binary code couldn't care less what language it was compiled from - and the platform-dependent blas optimizations use asm anyway).
The problem is rather that C (the natural contender) allows a non-experienced user to screw up really badly. Anyway, in one typical Fortran use, scientific computing, poorly written code more often than not nullifies any benefits of a smart compiler/optimized library - and that's probably a truer reason for these people to stick with Fortran, as writing efficient C code has a steeper learning curve.
well, you can fly yours as much as you want in territorial waters - and have fun with the local police departments. The rest of us are going to the high seas, where only sharks, the US Navy and (making an appearance soon) geeks dare to venture.

Well, the magnetic field deflects the charged solar wind (your minor nit is not so minor - solar wind and em radiation are 2 different things).
Also, shielding is not the cause of secondary radiation from the high-energy cosmic rays. Typical such radiation (say, protons) couldn't care less about ozone - they would 'care' about 'hitting' nucleons and generating secondary showers, so ozone or oxygen is all the same. Secondary radiation is mostly bad because it's charged (muons), so in high-density materials (such as your skin) it will have a higher probability of interaction. Not too high for the human body size, though, otherwise we'd be mutating at a significantly faster rate (think of it this way - detectors get muon events some hundreds of meters below Earth's surface).
I believe you sir are in the wrong place - if you want an open and honest discussion, then MS has just the right seminar. We here on/. are only into digging for the dirty laundry (except if it's about some hot babes, in which case by all means, let's dig for some clean lingerie instead).
"caveatis emptor" won't work - the verb is 2nd person plural, the subject is emptor (nominative of buyer). And what on earth is erogere? Did you mean erogare, in which case probably erogans would do better?
anyway, relax - it was just a joke. Besides, I don't remember enough latin to follow up much more from here, anyway. Shall we call it even?
sir, if you want to talk latin grammar, we can take this business outside, like real... erm... something.
(now, that everyone else has left the building) caveo + acc.="to be on guard [against]"; there's no need for the passive form. the "classic" caveat emptor is active subjunctive, too; on the other hand, 3rd person needs a subject, which in your phrasing would be paypal (latin needs the proper noun declension and paypal is nominative by default).
anyway, when playing the nazi on/. the key is not to know what you're talking about, but to persuade the other party that you do:-)
Actually, it's per page, not per segment. Segments had an exec flag from 32bit day one and this was the card Intel hoped people would play[*]; they were mostly wrong though, the segment-level protection did not get used so much.
