At this site I have leaned that open-sourcing the drivers will solve all drivers' problems.
Without any doubt, OSS community will fix all these drivers in no time.
iRobot has a very nice device ConnectR.
Apparently they do not sell it just yet. And yes, I would be careful buying it because my mom could be very... um... advisable?

Since when mocking Canadians became a racism?!

Yeah, I know, I know.

My company needs double-shielded CAT6 cable. Apparently, because of thick wires in CAT6, double-shielded CAT6 (and CAT7) cables are non-existent (please, give me a link if you know one).
So, if Denon accomplished the double-shielding feat, I guess I will be that fool who feeds the beast.
Everybody says "Apps" over here.
Boo-hoo! Nineties calling back!
Such a bunch of oldies!
It's not about work (apps) anymore, it's about home now (entertainment, media)!
Kids and olds want to pop in that "I Am Legend" BR-DVD and watch it on big screen. LEGALLY, without hacking. Will Linux give it to them? No. Because of DRM (ideology, not tech).
Does Youtube play on x86-64 well? No. It crashes. Because of buggy Flash (yes, 8GB per PC slooowly becoming the norm and don't give me that shit that 640KB/4GB ought to be enough for everybody).
Does Netflix play online movies on Linux (their content sloooowly gets better, BTW). No. They don't care.
Daddy's little princess wants to play "My Little Pony" game on PC. "Sorry, darling. Capitalistic pigs do not make that game for my beloved OS". Screw you, daddy!
RMS was rihght, right, right about media.
FSF had to buy rights for (blob?) codecs.

Nope. Slashdot laughed at him.

And the "64-bit war" is practically lost, too.
As a user of MSVS2005 I have to run as admin on my Vistax64 workstation (and yes, my programs have to have admin rights too). I prefer FireFox to IE7 (mostly because of on-screen search). Sure, I don't like to run FF in admin mode, so I have changed all my links to firefox to
On my PC "Basic User" trustlevel is the lowest level (use runas/showtrustlevels to find out your lowest level, in my case it's "Basic User"). In this mode on my PC FF can not write anything outside of my home folder or chowned folders, e.g. it can't write to root (I can, as Admin). I believe IE7's privilege is still lower then the above method. But hey, every little helps!
Well, at the beginning it told me "it'll take an hour". So I went away and I returned to the office in about 30 minutes and it was done. I have no idea how much it took for the actual process.
It has been downloaded automatically and OS asked me to install it. After 5-minute contemplation, I hit YES button. ~30 minutes later everything was installed and my system is fine. I have to see any difference yet. So far it's the same as before (great, in my case).
My rig is admittedly modern:
Eight 3.16 GHz cores (2 x Quad Penryn Xeons).
24 GB RAM.
Quadro FX4600.
Two 10K RPM Raptors in RAID-0.
I never had any complains for Vista with this PC. Actually (gasp!)I like it better then my previous XP-x64 and my home SUSE 10.0 (yes, the next to 9.3 one). Everything flies and spins INCREDIBLY smoothly.
Interestingly enough, my notebook's Vista-32 says no updates so far. I guess MS applied breaks for x32 version only.
I have SUSE Enterprise Desktop at work (we are in MS Srv2003 world). It's very nice as a corporate desktop.
Pros: It has connected to our Directory seamlessly during installation. All network printers and shares are OK, with correct access rights. Installation and driver support, IMO is the best among all Linuxen( ~xes?:). The domain controller recognized it as a domain member and listed it as such. Nice and laconic KDE (but the installation defaults to Gnome). Slack-derived init scripts and layout (well, I personally like it more then Debian-derived one).
Cons: It does not have text mode installation target. Yast is absent (I really liked it in previous versions!).
Conclusion: I like it!
Disclaimer: I run at home two SUSE (old 10.0, non-enterprise one) servers for about 3 years. Previously they were powered by SUSE 9.3 and before that by Slackware.

Really Big and Evil Business(TM) cares very little about JCL.
But it does about Novel and RH.
All those Doritos and Coke over keyboard in parents' basement really add up to the average ./-er's waistline.
While Vista-64 is fine on powerful workstation (my WS has 24 GB RAM and 8 cores, I do a lot of math), the OS clearly sucks on "normal" PC.
Now, I overheard that a lot of Vista code was written on C#. And that they redo it in C/C++.
Hmmmm
I will now.

So, the submission is a FUD attempt, then?
It's not a troll. I just want to know. If I put my code to MBR and LILO loader somewhere else and then start it, will it work? I guess so.

Yes. I used XP-64 and Vista-64 Business on the same WS. No problems apart from re-installing all user SW for Vista.
What's the difference between this new gizmo and old good monofin?
And yes, I always make a point by buying it, not downloading :P
I got MKL 9.1 and Fortran 10 today.
./ does not have <pre></pre>?
Very basic test (3D DFFT and compex(4) matrix math) on dual X5160 on WinXP32:
SW Time(ms) Speed(%)
9.0 MKL + 9.1 F 3100 100.00%
9.1 MKL + 9.1 F 2900 93.55%
9.1 MKL + 10.0F 2720 87.74%
In sum: 12% improvement, 6% per piece.
Not bad for my purposes!
