Re:just when OpenBSD i386 started to move to 3.x
on
GCC 4.0.0 Released
·
· Score: 0, Flamebait
The OpenBSD crowd had a lot of concerns about bugs in 3.x and performance regressions (in compiling, not in the resulting binaries).
The OpenBSD team want to build their own "free" C compiler because they don't like the GPL.
I really hope they try. It will be quite entertaining and should knock them down a peg or two.
They might be able to produce an over simplified version of NTP with ease, but I think producing a full compiler suite with about one and a half developers is going to be a bit more than they can handle. Should be fun to watch though.
And just for the record, I do use OpenBSD. It's just unfortunate that it's mostly produced by assholes.
But IIRC, upgrading my gcc on Fedora Core 2 made it almost impossible to install the NVidia Kernel mod. But then, NVidia is ALWAYS a special case isn't it.
I'm almost certain that the reason for that is that your kernel was built with a different version of GCC from the one you were building the Nvidia module with.
You probably missed the subtle clue provided by the Nvidia build scripts - "You're using a different version of GCC from the one used to build your kernel. This won't work - Aborting!!!!"
Perhaps the significance of this is that Microsoft has acknowledged Linux as an OS people might want to use, which seems an upgrade from its previous status as a communist cancer."
And yet whenever anybody criticises MS or Windows on Slashdot, hoardes of MS supporters will pipe up and accuse them of being Slashbots.
Would any of them care to explain why it's one rule for them and one rule for us?
After all, I was under the impression that Slashdot was originally a site dedicated to Linux and open source in general. Coming here and complaining about bias is rather like going to Alaska on vacation and complaining about the cold - fucking retarded.
Wow, so in five years maybe X will have half the features OS X had 2 years ago!...only minus the standard interface design that makes sure "preferences" is always in the same place.
Yes, but what you Mac zealots tend to forget is that I've got an extra $129 to spend on cocaine and hookers whereas you gave yours to Apple. Of course, Steve Jobs will spend it on cocaine and hookers on your behalf which probably makes you just as happy.
It's been going on for years. Just spammers taking advantage of one of the most retarded design decisions Microsoft ever made.
Oh how I long for those heady days in July 2003 when the RPC DCOM exploit was out but no-one had bothered to patch. I spent many a happy evening just sitting there watching the output of tcpdump as the messenger spams came in and then firing back one single packet. And then silence. Or Goatse on their desktop, depending on whether I picked the right offset for their version of Windows.
Sony NEVER said it would render Toy Story 2 graphics. They said it would render CG quality graphics in real time and proved it with a real time rendered tech demo of the FMV from FF8. I wish fucktards like you would drop the whole Toy Story MYTH
Ah, it's the 12 year old Sony fanboy troll again. You're the same guy that claimed to have programmed a B-Spline based game engine for the PS2 because that's the only architecture that could handle it aren't you?
You need to stop the bullshitting, stop the completely over the top flaming of anyone that voices a different opinion and most of all - for the love of God, go out and get laid. As I've told you before, once you do all this will seem so insignificant.
Seriously, one day you'll look back and laugh at yourself.
I should have also mentioned the early benchmarks which show massive increases in CPU speed for G4's, healthy increases in memory speed for G5's, and no performance hit at all on G3's.
I can confirm this. I just installed it on my 1.6Ghz G5 and it's now turned into a dual 2.5Ghz G5!
Given that many of the SP2 changes relate to networks and firewalls, the bigger the corporate network the bigger the chance the upgrade will take some time to get working for everyone in a company.
I think you're overstating the changes.
I mean who needs ICMP support anyway? It's good that the SP2 firewall blocks it by default. It stops people using nasty hacker tools like "ping".
And it stops those unsettling "Fragmentation needed" messages too. I'm not smashing up my PC just because some evil hacker wants me to.
According to the emails *I* get, bored housewives are not looking at blogs at all. They'd much rather meet with me when their husbands are out of town.
The ideas the same though, most people on the web (or at least those just on it for the blogs) don't really know the difference between what looks like a professional page, and what IS a professional page.
You mean there are people who got on the Internet just to read blogs?
And yet, if you were to kill them, it would be you that got in trouble! The World's insane I tell you.
Still, they plan to use P2P. Come on where's the GEOIP feature in BitTorrent ?
I didn't see P2P or BitTorrent mentioned anywhere.
Besides, if you wanted to restrict BitTorrent by geographical location you could just setup the tracker behind a firewall that only allows connections from approved IP ranges.
Seems pretty obvious. And you call yourself a geek?
The Internet is a bloody network, not a geographically located exhibition hall!
Didya pay for the creation of any of the content? No? Then tough shit.
Of course, they could setup a scheme whereby Americans could pay to download the content.
Unfortunately, the drawback is that your currency is so completely fucked that all you would be able to afford is the first 3 frames of a 25 year old Dr Who episode.
The maximum line speeds on the UK train network is 125mph, not 60mph. In the former southern region 'commuter belt' typically they are a bit lower, around 90-100mph.
I spend approximately 4 hours per day on trains commuting between Brighton and Guildford.
I can't be bothered to look up the distances, but the last time I worked it out it came to an average speed of about 25mph. I shit you not.

Sure, but that does not make the point any less valid, does it my friend?
It makes it look as though you like posting identicle comments to different stories, relevant or not, in order to further an agenda.
For further examples of the art, see GNAA, BSD is dying etc..etc..
To put it another way: trolling.
Also, for some reason your nick "econsult1" makes me think "unemployed cocksucker".
There's no need for ordinary people to use OpenBSD.
And yet the OpenBSD community still have a reputation for being elitist assholes. Incredible.

Because that is something that is really, really hard to do.
Have to hope that most of my readers don't regularly check
I wouldn't worry. If they do, they will be totally accustomed to seeing dupes anyway.
Windows Messenger Spam. Not. Exactly. New.

So what you're saying is that you'd like a really fast storage solution but you're not worried about the capacity.
Have you considered a few Kilobytes of SRAM and a battery?
If you did the same thing as the linux community, you'd ship binary drivers with your kernel, violating the letter and spirit of the GPL.
Exactly! That's why, when you download the latest release of the Linux kernel, it comes with Nvidia's proprietary binary drivers already included.
Oh no hang on, I've just realised you're full of shit.
All in all, Toy story looked like crap. MAny games on PS2 look better than Toy Story
Didn't I just tell you to go out, get laid and stop posting this shit?
I'll keep on reminding you anyway. Posting anonymously or not, you're not exactly difficult to spot. Everything you write just screams "virgin".

ahh yes, another page from the slashfud playbook.... #22) I can't refute the comment, therefore I will complain about grammar/punctuation/formatting.
Actually I wasn't refuting the comment at all. I didn't even read the comment for the simple reason that your comment was practically unreadable.
If you can't be bothered to put a few seconds into making something easy to read, nobody is going to waste their time trying to parse it.
I just though that a little bit of light humour would be more polite than suggesting that you're fucking retarded.
I should have also mentioned the early benchmarks which show massive increases in CPU speed for G4's, healthy increases in memory speed for G5's, and no performance hit at all on G3's.

Go Apple!
Service Pack 2 seems to have destroyed your computer's ability to insert whitespace into comments. I suggest you uninstall it immediately.

What? You get those too?
I though it was just my hot cock they were after.
I'm feeling rather depressed all of a sudden.

You're right, it's completely unacceptable!
If I were you I would demand a refund of every penny that you've paid Google for all these half-finished services.

The Dutch train system is a dream compared to the british railways.
Getting violently and repeatedly ass-raped by a large gang of Hell's Angels with Syphilis is a dream compared to the British Railways.
Eiher way, you certainly won't be sitting down for a while.
The next training to oblivion central station will be arriving tomorrow at 3.14pm or 2 minutes after you top yourself - whichever event happens first.
What a ludicrous statement. People never kill themselves at Three Bridges.
No, they all do it at Redhill.
Unfortunately, despite the high rate of attrition, most residents of Redhill are still alive.
Anyone thinking of modding this "Flamebait" should visit the place first. If you survive the experience, you may then mod me down.

Hey! I search for porn and feel lucky if I get a single page of results!
