The one problem is there though: by using lots of client side libraries with their own per-client state some efficiency is lost and startup time increases greatly.
We are already seeing this with today's gtk and kde programs that already have disastrous startup times.

I have a very simple position on buying DVD's.
If can't play them under linux, I'm not buying them.
One alternative which I'm using right now at work is a usb switch (with a PS/2toUSB converter).
It seems to work quote well, except for problems with some keys like Shift+Del/Shift+Ins which I haven't yet resolved (probably a windows problem)
>Being able to do things like offload drawing onto the powerful graphics cpu's present in most new computers these days is the most obvious beneft.
This is true, but it will make X require a modern gfx card.
And the only really supported (with adequately fast open source drivers) one is Radeon 8500-9200.
Very simple. Only do on the computer what you want to do, not what the computer asks you to.
If you don't know, it's time to get a simpler/safer OS, like UNIX. (unix almost never asks you anything, it's all your fault).
>Like the post-conf scripts in RPM and DEB
I always thought this was a bad idea and should be replaced by various triggers.
Exactly my point!
By running all this behavior (accessibility) independantly for all clients you have lots of overhead.
The above time is a second/cached run (w/ prelink). For the first one, it takes 4+ seconds while rxvt and xterm are still 1.
This encourages big/monolithic applications which is not the unix way.
note: rxvt I also listed has unicode support and eye candy can be enabled too. There's no need for configuration gui to run on startup.
Perhaps a new class for NHRA :)
He is mostly right.

You'll never be a real hacker with that opinion.
which games use this?
I have a picture sized 2048x1536 that you can't see.
It could really force everyone to use Java.exe.
This is true for Java. But only a small part of .net is actualy "standardized".
In batch processing this is all true.
In interactive/desktop/realtime systems it is not.
It's just like bandwidth vs. latency.
It's not like the flashlight is made with inferior technology and empties itself in 30 seconds!
I guess it will be nice for spotting campers in multiplayer.
there was no "sort of" 16 bit
there was "sort of" 20 bit (the famous 640K)
Exactly. I watched Equilibrium and it is better than Matrix simply because there is no 2 and 3 bullshit. The story is simple and complete.
I know that. But I was think of a laptop.
Does he offer dual mouse button mouse + a wheel?
I have the same problem. Running with psmouse=bare for now but getting really sick of it.
I'll probably port the 2.4 driver to 2.6 if I can't find the fix for this.
Apparently only the XBox version has coop.
I expect this to be one of the first games to be massively ripped from XBox to PC if this is true.
I think of it as an IBM order and I strongly prefer it.
That's why it better to forget C+XVC if you use consoles and use the older, more widespread standard.
Ctrl+X = Shift+Del = Cut
Ctrl+C = Ctrl+Ins = Copy
Ctrl+V = Shift+Ins = Paste
They sort-of fixed it by moving the mouse a few pixels when you click on the edge.
Not so good thing IMO.
