  5. High-level language? on More Effective Use of Shared Memory on Linux · · Score: 0

    I've seen this before, but why is C/C++ marked as a high-level language (as in the summary)? C/C++ are LOW-level languages - closer to the hardware, while languages like Visual Basic are HIGH-level languages since they abstract hardware-related tasks like memory management away.

    Brilliant: Once again on /., anectodal evidence is equated to biblical truth. My friends think HD is neat, and are buying HD-equipped televisions.

    Hold on now, if Bill Gates were to sell off 90 billion dollars in stock, don't you think he might create more problems than he'd solve? Microsoft would go bankrupt!

    Wait....

  11. Re:Been waiting for this for a little while now on SUSE 10.0 OSS Released · · Score: 0
    Actually, with Fedora, net-installing without a cd/dvd/floppy is a pretty simple exercise...especially if you already have grub installed.
      - Download the iso, mount it (mount -t iso9660 -o loop
    • )
        - Go into the isolinux directory and copy vmlinux to /boot/vmlinuz-anaconda (or whatever) and do the same for the initrd.
        - Modify grub so you have those as an option to boot to.
        - reboot into anaconda, and choose: NFS, Hard Disk, FTP, or HTTP install.

      I'm fairly certain most modern distros will allow something similar, but that's about how I've done Fedora 2-4

    I'd love that -
    I pay ~US50 for 768 kbps through the only ISP my apartment complex provides ( I'm in Atlanta, so it isn't a very small city and I'd expect better ) and I'm lucky to ever get ~30 kbps. Also, it's via wireless (unreliable as hell) and no static IPs, or external access (no ssh, etc).
