well, you'd think with enough homebrew linux distros out there,
that there would be enough distros for every niche.
everything from the pain-in-the-arse gentoo text based-install, to the super-easy x11-point-n-click based-install for Fedora..
how hard can it be to possibly use linux in first hand? like c'mon.. i was 14 when i first started, and im not the brightest lightbulb in the house.. that be foe' sho!

..and if you look at AMD's road-maps, you'll also see a dual core one in the late-2006 future.
i've come across some on some peer-2-peer stuff.
but see, i buy mine, so its not like im out to try to get it free, because i don't care;)
but i am a leech when it comes to collecting the OTH Epps.
im thinking about buying the dvd, but i gotta set aside 30$ for it. so blah.
until then, i'll just keep stealing their bandwidth.
yeah. i agree fully. but they have no reservations conserning somebody making a pdf and shipping it out over any of the latest and greatest p2p apps or usenet.
so in that sense, i guess its free.
but hell, i spend more than 25$ a year on soda..
so i can definately afford 2600.;)
general purpose laptop,..maybe
but instead of taking this laptop 20seconds-2minutes to start up
its nearly instant. god bless Real Time Linux patches.
and then again the article said EMBEDDED.
do you have any idea what an EMBEDDED device is? ..laptops aren't EMBEDDED into my lap. albeit portable, and as much as its attached to my lap, you'd swear mine is EMBEDDED,..it isn't.
"Private industry is inherently more efficient than a big centralized government bureaucracy like NASA."
tell that to our airline industry. they're so much more efficent, yup.
efficent at filing "Chaper 13" papers maybe.
and maybe lobbying congress to bail their asses out again, and again... AND again..
efficent. hah.
you mean so they can run around, having kernel panics,
being exploited by the other side, etc..
or if you mean just replace the ball with a rocket launcher,
i don't know about that either..
think about it.. a robot, running around, kicking a rocket launcher through the desert doesn't seem like a bright idea to me
but then again, the way the pentagon is going,
it might appeal to them.. props for the idea!
well, Linux, is only the kernel. the rest is just choice of userland tools/patches etc.
RTL stands for Real Time Linux, and its a patch that can be easily applied to any Linux kernel
that is relatively recent, but iirc, it works best on 2.6+..
Redhat, whilist a crappy "OS" overall due to their way of handling stuff, doesn't make their kernel any less effective as a RealTime kernel.
espically since its commerically supported if you coughed up the dough.
as long as i got my 2600, the world is fine.
and quite honestly, i've always been quite partial to 2600 also.
just something to the whole team, they make you feel,
like family kinda.. and the radio shows own.;)
no complaints abou killing opera either.
they used to have a great product..
but why have ad-ware, (even in linux & bsd),
when you can simplay have a far superior browser;)
whats internet explorer?
i know of mozilla, opera, firebird/firefox/phoenix..
but no internet explorer.;)
100% usage of firefox in my home.
windows update ActiveX-embedded IE-only compliancy,
isn't that also, a SERIOUS security risk?
basically saying, if you don't run IE, you'll have vlunarabilites..
but then again, i haven't been running windows for two years either.
so i must be missing out on all of those nice new exploits,
can you sense my disappointment?;)
gee, how nice of the big campus in Redmond.
of course there was a graphics chipset involved.. but they wern't compairing them, only cpu's.. ovbiously.
intel has been on the "mhz bandwagon" for decades, always saying faster is better,
when AMD started blowing equally-rated cpus of intel's at 1/2 as fast of clock speed of the water, they started to re-evaluate their situation, (and justly so might i add!) and realised it'd be smarter if they got on the "performance" bandwagon, just like amd has been doing since the classic k7 Socket A's.
so this is great news, it really gives encouragement for portability, gaming, and the ability to have an enthuist rig,..as a laptop.
but the only issue is, i'd hate to be one of those chaps that JUST bought the older generation of either the centrino notebooks, OR the top breed of p4's.. they just got screwed;)
thank goodness im an amd man, and have been for about 8yrs now!
but if intel integrates em64t into their pentium M- line, i'll be DEFINATELY considering getting a nice rig with that one instead. as it whoops the amd athlon64's ass when it comes to conservation of battery, throttling cpu speed, and general apm functions..
and in the last few linux kernel revisions, they've really gotten on the ball with centrino- and its a go getter.;)
i agree with you, but you must also see,
atleast they're not saying linux or any x11-based application in this matter, is of satan and that you shouldn't use it.
unlike many other unnamed companies, just trying to monoplize the world
this way, atleast they're giving the people who are getting tired of the needlessly unnamed company's BS,
a path for migration, and they're still able to stick to their "UNIX" roots.
aside from the whole fact that OSX is mostly based off of NeXt, rather than UNIX. but thats a whole nother debate;)
that Apple in general isn't propagating that their stuff is better than XGF-productname.
but Apple is embracing it.
i think that many more fortune-500 companies could take a few hints
from Apple & IBM's marketing ideas & schematics..

no joke, since day 1. everybody with an ounce of common sense knows not to do anything crucial on those public machines.

market their astronauts as:

now thats a more interesting concept.
careful, i'll go SCO-style on your ass if you try to sell MY brooklyn bridge! ;)
cant wait for that PS3 eh?
