The alpha SRM and mini-debugger kicked ass, if you fucked up you OS you could just TFTP a new one from the network or retrieve it from floppy or cdrom.
Just nitpicking. Most countries have not based there laws on british law, surprisingly the only country besides british commonwealth countries that has done this is the United States.
Most democratic especially european countries have dispite how awful it sounds based their legal systems on napolean law. Which basically means that the judges dont have to where wigs.
Maybe they also talk about use of email or phone and maybe getting in touch with someone specific during normal office hours. I wont stay online 24 hours for your petty sake.

Gnome 2.2 Released

The actively support platforms are: Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, IRIX and Tru64.
The actively support compilers are: All versions off gcc>2.95 Solaris native compiler >7.0 DEC/Compaq CXX (dont know what version) And most recently Intel ICC > 7.0 (requires patch for libtool)
Sometimes I see people working on making KDE compile with GCC on HPUX, Cygwin and OpenBSD, but wont garantee that a new release will work, but most mature releases will. I havent heard about AIX, which means there are either no problems or noone is doing anything about them.
2: No APIC. At the moment, I have stuff like SATA, firewire, USB2, AC97 modem, and USB2.0 turned off. Even so, I have an IRQ conflict between the ATI video and USB1.1 that so far hasn't bit me. But I suspect future pain, here.
What the hell are you talking about? IRQ conflicts was a DOS (and thus also windows 95/98) problem.
Unless you have two old ISA-cards that a jumper configured to using the same IRQ you wont get a similiar problem in linux.
PCI and thus AGP was designed so that different devices can share the same interrupt lines. The only problem I've heard of with this are Creative's soundcards that craps on the PCI-bus, but linux makes sure not to share IRQs between devices that are known to be buggy.
Everybody knows that. It's the way master-keys systems works, you take of pieces until you have the most generic key, the most generic keys needs inherently to be the smallest and thus the least safe.
Not that it can't be news and research for security people, but I can't see how this can "make it easier for buglers and terrorists", anyone in the business or anyone thinking about it for a few minutes knows thats how it works and have always worked, and how it has to work if you really wants a master key system.
A great deal of Alpha architect left when Compaq bought Digital. They went mostly to AMD, making the Athlon faster (the main-design was already done), and their influence is also seen readily in the Sledgehammer design.
There are only three levels of courts. City court, national court and supreme court.
So at most a case can only be appealed twice, and you can only have your case tried in supreme court if it somehow touches a subject not tried before in courts.
And yes, if you were acquited in the first, you have a preatty good case in the next, the prosecution has to come up with some reasons for the appeal, and then new evidence, claims of injustice or just new "angles" on the case.

Actually this is not the same as in the US, I know because we have the same law in Denmark. Basically any result of a lower court can be appealed to a higher court granted that the higher court wishes to take the case.
We had a case of a man who was first acquited by a city court then found guilty by a national court. But he fled to England and now can't be extradicted, because according to a brittish law, you can't be tried for same crime twice. (in america this is called double jepardy)
Sorry I can't find the reference, but I once read that most people are able to remember from when they are 2 years old, whether they actually do depends on whether you have ever tried to think back on these memories to "keep them alive".
The 2 year limit comes from the development of the brain, you simply dont have a real long term memory when you are younger or even references to understand what you experience.
Personally I can remember a few scenes from when I was 1-2 years, some of them are a bit strange in concepts, but common to all of them is that I have known these as my earliest memories since I was 8-10 and have thus kept them alive.
Look at the picture of the inflated airbag. It looks like it mostly covers your back. (by giving you a giant lump)
I doubt it can ever become as usefull as a car airbag that mainly covers your head.

They only licensed the bus architecture. Nothing else...

You are so right. Although the truth is a lot worse. The programs that just aim to feed "hungry people" often do more harm than good.
A few decades ago there was a movement to give the european food surplus stock to poor starving people in poor countries. The result was the economies and food producers in the respective countries crashed as they couldnt compete with free food, resulting the countries becoming permantently dependent on foreign support. Unfortunatly a lot of publicity charities have never learned the same lesson (or dont want to) and such destructive programs continue to exist and be funded by naive americans and europeans.
For the same reasons I personally have a policy of only supporting charties that also recieves funds from my own government, the EU or the UN. They have the best oppotunities to do real good without depending on catastrophies that sell well on TV.
If you have a 64-bit 2 GHz processor and a 32-bit 2 GHz processor, the 64-bit processor is going to be much faster. This speeds up the whole system, not just the rate at which you make giblets fly.
Ehrmm. no, if it were that easy we would all be using 64bit by now. 64bit has historically been faster because they belong to a better group of architectures called RISC, the new AMD 64-bit will be faster not because they have more bits but because AMD has upgraded the architecture and added more registers.
The number of bits is a meaningless as counting the number of seats in a car, twice as many seats doesnt make a faster car. In fact it makes the car harder to design to be fast, so does 64bit processors.
Oh, so you want to make superior beings that will consider you inferior and though you share some of the same genes only let you occupy status in their dumpsters and basements?
Yes, it matters. In new danish law distributing first copies are allowed. In other words, if you copy directly from you CD you are free to give the copies away. (To solve the problems about backups).

Because they decided not to buy Trolltech when Qt was small and unknown, and now they have commited themselves to GNOME for years.
I've seen interviews where Sun' officials regret not buying Trolltech and supporting KDE, but that it is too late to change horses now.
