At my job I build high end linux boxes for tech shows and demo's, now all of my experience has been for red hat only... but nvidia has some great drivers for running multiheaded displays, however running an nvidia and ati card with their prospective drivers has been a disaster for me, you are correct, there is module contention when loading the drivers, then each one has their own configuration tool. I have managed to become quite good at editting the xorg.conf file and can get the two to come up and display correctly, however it takes alot of patience, and alot of looking on the internet to achieve...
Politically he'd never get anywhere and be corned off by the fat cat's, I have several family members who teach and it's all the about time served and who you know. We're talking about a system where gym teachers who do almost nothing make the same as the AP Physics/Chem/Math teachers make, sometime more, bc with all their free time not grading anything tangible they can coach multiple sports... it's very unfortunate our system. First thing that needs to happen is to break the teachers union...
My children will be going to the best private school my wife and I can finance for this very reason... F no child left behind too.
I can tell you that when i graduated in the great job vacuum that was spring/summer/fall of 2003 I was desperate for a job, the previous spring/summer i had sent out hundreds of resume's and used every friend of a friend contact i could, it was all for not, when i did actually talk to HR people they would say "we're firing 5 people this month, i doubt we'll have any interns this summer" so of course this led to no intern experience for me... I wish at the time open source projects where as available as they are now, but I didn't know anything about it... so there i was with a degree and no job, no insurance no experience and no way to gain it, i was working 12-14 hours a day as a handy man for my future in-laws(two sets) and filling out job applications for maybe another 2-3 hours a day, there was no time to join open source projects or program my ti-89 to do cool stuff, i went to sleep, so i could get up the next day and work for 10 dollars an hour to pay off the student loans, car insurance, food, internet, rent etc...
It must be so nice to say get experience... when you already have it.
I've always been more impressed with the Solaris' scheduler, I've done a few ports recently of realtime applications to linux from solaris 8 and 10 that have a hard time running properly under linux... Of course these applications have had years of tuning under SOlaris so it's not an entirely accurate example...
i don't get the part where most of the "lesser" polluters wind up being third world countries too poor to have the infrastructure to pollute, so they get more money for their leadership to squander away
won't someone for once think of the pirates the elevator would put out of work, well atleast they would be unemployed until interstellar space travel is invented...
This is due to industry pressure, companies don't want to hire people who understand the compilers, they want people who know C++, C, Java, SQL, PHP... so colleges to keep their job placement numbers have decided to modify curiculums to match... so very sad, I wish i had learned about compiler design and cool stuff like that in college...
as I remember it from an engineering disasters class I took in college, he threatened to remove his name from the report in-order to get his stuff in it...
would power use in this drive be more or less then a conventional drive? wouldn't this be a good low power replacement for mp3 player HD's and even video polayers in the future?
I hope he included DRM, so that the chip will be considered part of microsoft's trusted computer program stuff, i'd hate to buy one and not have longhorn run on it properly when it comes out
I had game gear, still do infact, it was awesome, too bad it was so expensive in comparison to game boy, which i never owned...
I was the envy of most of my gameboy touting friends in the 5th grade!
"I forsee at least half the time he will want to be inspecting that porn would be taken up with backing it up."
haha, i'm sure most people will spend very little time "inspecting" their porn, they'll all be finished with plenty of time to back it up
I was thinking the same thing, as an ex-employee i made a rather lengthy contribution to bestbuysuxs.org a few years ago, still like to go browse through it, ahh the memories
Slashdot Mirror
esp considering oil is 90 a barrel now for us...
