--The worst movie of 2003 that I can *remember* ATM was "Dreamcatcher". http://hollywoodbitchslap.com/rev iew.php?movie=733 6
--I basically went to see it for the advertised AniMatrix trailer beforehand. The movie itself was so horrible that I walked out after an hour and demanded my money back. (Got it, too.)
> How can a technology be ready or not ready? It is being shipped and it apparently performs to specs.
--Download and test Linux kernel 2.6.0 on a variety of hardware, and then see if you can still say that. (This is not a troll.) For that matter, see if you can find any SparQ drives on ebay and try booting and running an operating system on them for more than a month.
--Since you have a dual proc machine, I'd experiment with higher -j numbers. You reach a point of diminishing returns after a certain point, but you could probably go quite a bit higher.
1. what the following means: --If I understand it correctly, 100% makes the kernel swap to disk normally, without any "bad feelings" about it. Setting it to 0 makes the kernel "feel guilty" about swapping to disk, and it will try to reclaim memory that is being used for cache 1st, and only swap to (slower) disk as a last resort.
2. how one might determine an optimal setting for a particular use? --Experiment. ' echo 20 >/proc/sys/vm/swappiness ' and use ' top ' to monitor free + swap memory for a while under different loads.
--I'm probably wrong here though. Anybody else want to jump in?
--Nine months to the day after her election, she has to "step down" for Maternity Leave (because of the election-eve celebration with her husband, doncha know.):b
--Just curious, but how do you switch to the new non-ide-scsi burning method? (hdc is my DVD +/- R/RW burner that also does CDR, do I just put "dev=/dev/hdc" in the cdrecord commandline?)
--Y'know, your usual bloody BT for the Linux kernel is usually SLOWER than downloading it right from kernel.org. However, this time I'm getting about 150KB/sec down, so props to you.
--Not flaming here, I use BT for ISO's and such but for LK it's usually s-l-o-w.
--Your comment interested me, so I did a search on P.Gutenberg; it seems that the only book there by c.s. lewis is "Spirits in bondage; a cycle of lyrics".
--"The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is one of may favorite books. The British comedy show "The Young Ones" even did a parody of it once.:)

--Nar. When you want to Impress the Ladiez, you fire up the old punch-card reader and impress them with your "stack."
--Forget AlNiCo -- a magnet that size would have "ACME" on it in big bold letters, and a Coyote doing a double-take as it flew by. :b

--That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the article, man. Scary.

--Not recommended to run all 55 at once unless you have a LOT of memory and (probably) more than 4 CPU's...
--Obviously you didn't RTFA, or his FAQ. He DOESN'T WANT to multi-boot on the real hardware. That's the FIRST FAQ question answered, you lamer!

--Thanks for the info; hopefully it will also work in 2.4...
--I bet they STILL haven't fixed the Y2038 bug. :b
--I put the request in for MEPIS to put out a 2.6 Beta for New Year's. :)
--It's up to Warren though, and from what I've heard 2.6 has some parts that Just Ain't Ready yet.
