  1. C++ port of Java Hadoop? on Open Source Solution Breaks World Sorting Records · · Score: 1

    Java doesn't fit for my environment, does someone know of an open source C++ port of Java Hadoop?

    If there is no such port, is anyone interested in starting a port? An example of a Java port is "cLucene", a C++ port of Java Lucene search engine. It usually outperforms its Java sibling in an order of magnitude.

  2. Yahoo bought Altavista and AllTheWeb years ago on Microsoft Going After Yahoo! Again · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yahoo bought Altavista and AllTheWeb years ago.
    All those former well known web search services are just brands for Yahoo search.
    btw. Bablefish is just a brand name around the underlying third party software "Systran".

  4. IMAP: switch to "English (US)" interface language on Free IMAP On Gmail · · Score: 2, Informative

    You have to switch your language to "English (US)" to get the IMAP options in your GMail settings.

    Other interface languages will get the update and therefore the translation sync later, as usual.

    okay, the video is crap; but we have tested the preview, and it does provide (limited) DX 10 for WinXP! So it works for real, no hoax, but only for DX SDK demos, maybe some more apps.

  7. that's a hoax! on Hacked DX10 for Windows Appears · · Score: 1

    It looks like Wine (Codeweaver) for MacOS X 10.4 Intel-PC.

    Prey is NOT a DX 10 game but a DX 9 game which works more or less okay in WineHQ/CW.

  9. Re:Official ReactOS Website on ReactOS Reviewed in Depth · · Score: 1

    NVIDIA chipset (nforce, etc.) graphics (Geforce, etc.) drivers are already working.

    DirectX for ReactOS is under development, some parts of DirectX do already work fine, DirectDraw is under heavy development and some simple games work. DirectX 3D has a way to go. We have Mesa a software D3D implementation and OpenGL too.

    Try it out, although ReactOS is currently in alpha status.

  10. Re:What about native Linux app support? on ReactOS Reviewed in Depth · · Score: 1

    If someone code a posix subsystem for ReactOS, you will be able to run your linux apps as well. But there are no big reason for it, the windows world has several thousand applications and drivers. Even most open source applications have been ported or have been developed for Win32. If you then still want to use unix versions of apps, you can use cygwin, colinux, etc. which allow you to run these apps in Win32/ReactOS.

  11. Re:The fonts! on ReactOS Reviewed in Depth · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    ReactOS does NOT use MSFT fonts! The fonts are "Bitstream Vera fonts" from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ttf-bitstre am-vera/1.10/ So do not spread BS around.
