Think loading a giant mega memory footprint [Java] runtime library to do some simple updating on the client is "better"?
Think loading a giant mega memory footprint runtime to interpret JavaScript. Its there, but is just loaded by default with most web browsers so you don't notice a startup lag. However, try viewing an AJAX-heavy site and check your browser's memory footprint!
The ULE scheduler has been fixed, but is it enabled by default? Could anyone explain the benefits of the ULE vs. 4BSD schedulers? Are there real performance benefits? Thanks.

FreeBSD 6.0 Released
·
· Score: 3, Informative
OSX has had wireless support for ten years.
Good grief. BSD was once the great, now its like a garage hobby, albeit at an expensive elite univeristy.
Impossible.
1. A beta of OSX wasn't even released until 1999.
2. Although FreeBSD can trace its roots to the 4.4BSD from Berkley, the univeristy has nothing to do with active FreeBSD developemnt today (unless students & profs do work on their own).
I thought Ajax was just a bathroom cleaner...
That is still correct. JavaScript and XMLHttpRequest make the wretched bathroom that is Web application development a tad more sanitary.
A lot has come out since the vote on the authorization for Iraq. Days after 9/11, Democrats weren't about to vote against a bill that claimed to provide tools for fighting terrorism.
You can't have it both ways. You are claiming that the reason they voted with the Republicans before the '04 election was that they weren't informed and also claim it was because they feared political backlash for opposing the (at the time) popular Patriot act/war/etc. To do this you must also conceed the Dems are ill-informed and tend to have no convictions.
If they went to a simple up/down, then yes, you couldn't place the responsibility for the bill not passing on the Dems. However, do you actually think the Republicans will change the 2/3 rule they imposed on this bill? Can you imagine the outcry from Polosie and Ried if they did this? Even with the majority, the Republicans are pretty weak in the knees when it comes to bucking the Dems foot dragging.
You are almost correct. It is impossible for the Democrats to stop anything in the House on their own. If the Republicans don't all band together, the Democrats have enough votes to derail certain bills.

Does this mean that 28% of my er.. body belongs to someone else?
Yes; and you are free to license it for $300 per year.
To fend off diseases in our 28%, you may be interrested in subscribing to our protection plan.
These scams apparently work, otherwise they would be dead by now.
The sad thing is that anyone in the West would be so greedy as to help some stranger transfer millions of dollars out of a cash-poor country such as Nigeria or Uganda.

Interesting. But, how much of their blissful Linux experience can be attributed your 'knowing a shell script from a shell fish'?

Does anyone know how Google powers their massive clusters (AC/DC)?
Their way will, of course, be the "one true way" to supply power.

There is no shelf life for GPL2. There is no need to 'upgrade' to GPL3 just because it exists.

It is a joke. I do that.
