Everyone always brings up the "AMD cant supply enough" argument... I know theres a lot of amd b0xen out there, i mean a LOT.
Apples share is what 6% supposedly atm?
Does anyone have any figures to actually prove they cant handle this?
As i understand it, one of the big problems is huge patchsets and not overly clean or readable code...
Go do some work with khtml, then belittle the devs if you feel like it.
gcc changing and making things fail to compile?
just for kicks, try compiling some of the earlier kernels, and i wish you good luck.
Old trees just dont compile.. on i386 never mind the obscure stuff.
Standards? Feh, we've heard of them.
Interesting... if I fork the kernel.. how much of the code would i have to keep to stay in there cover?
*rewrites kernel as one click ecommerce solution*
im sure some of the code could be kept..
You do know linus is a millionaire as well right?
I mean, obv not on the scale as BG and as you point out, in a far better manner. AFAIK he lives in a nice house, drives a decent open top car and looks after his kids..
Seems pretty straightforward use of money... no famous charitable stuff, but no investing in giant feet sculptures or whatever it is the MS guys are doing.
"None of the graphics I've seen so far looks like they couldn't be done on a Gamecube or Xbox."
Are you for real? have you seen the videos?
Have you see the gears of war trailer?
If by on a xbox you mean rendered across a cluster of xboxes, maybe..
Your mistaken.
the MAudio cards all work beautifully... and sound it too...
*currently listening to music in superb definition on said card*
together with jack and assorted other toys, audio on linux is not something that is lagging.
Your point is kind of irrelevant, if you'd had a linux install instead of a 2k, you could have used that just as well...
Whereas the MS person did had a simple nix install set up, or 2 windows installations (thank god.. cos thats fun:S)
MS Office is choosy on files (be choosey on what you accept - thats not how i remember it)
and linux could easily have been used of a random live cd... (which incidentally, you could have done as well)
Does anyone still visit the front page?
I probably visit it once a week (following the inevitable/. story), the rest of the time i just use the query box in firefox.. or gg: in konq etc.
so if this hardware will enable them to work 10 times faster, presumably they spend at least 90% of their time sitting around doing nothing?
Intriguing... anyone know if theres still places in these 1500 job places?
Slashdot Mirror
From my own experience.. nope. I still want to control the world. That'll show them.

I knew there was a reason i read slashdot, was beginning to forget.

Definetely remember 007 having one of these toys... always thought they would be cool

Yeah, and we want wars to keep soldiers in business.

Isnt that exactly what most of the porting teams do?

Dear god, have we stooped so low? might as well get the farkish boobies links going as well....
If its just a patch level gentoo emerge just grabs the patch...
Erm. that sounds familiar.... wasnt XP supposed to do exactly the same?
to have taken it on the ground! what they send em to mars for?
486s? Pah. overclocking the motorola 648040 in my mac quadra by replacing the crystal oscillator, none of these bios "tweaks".

No offence, but im not really sure the british army is an enemy slashdot needs. *envisions tanks rolling over servers*
..come with a big exhaust pipe, fluffy dice, pearlescent paint + spinners?

?! Knights of the Round on you. *tears off on golden chocobo* thats about 250 hours of my life your insulting!
BUT will it be modelled on a "inhale" or as i like to call it, a suck.
