I like when large companies intervene on our behalf. A friend of mine and me have been trying to defy gravity for a long time using a combination of strong marihuana and yoga.
Everything else have turned out to be caused by particles, so it is assumed gravity is as well. But gravitons have never been observed, because they have been impossible to capture. With the ability to block them, it might finally be possible to "observe" them.
Actually it contains so much added coffeine it is illegal in a lot of countries. Strangely enough it doesnt contain nearly as much coffeine as coffee, which is legal almost anywhere.
Look at how high an x86 CPU has to be clocked just to achieve equal performance with a RISC computer. And higher clock rates == more heat and more power consumption.
Funny that the itanic produces more heat and consumes more power.. A new crappy instruction set is not a good replacement for an older crappy instruction set.

Yes, because each 32bit app, will be able to address 4Gbyte, where as today they have to share it (except with some silly xeon hack in the Windows Advanced Server).
Except one little problem: Euros are not dollars and extremely hard to counterfeit. It would be a lot easier for flood the US money supply, but that wouldnt help us. (Yes, that is why Euro bills are extremly ugly, that's the price for being anti-counterfeitable)
It comes from the names of our founder and his girlfriend. Debra and Ian. But dont pronounce it Deb-ian!
Instead imagine this beautyfull extremly atractive young lady called Debi. A girl with so many suiters and worshipers that they have formed a cult, and by all are known as: "Debians".
No, I dont think it stands a chance against having an actually copy (or documentation) of the API you are developing.
But I will openly admit the WINE developers are not the best open source hackers out there. If they were, they wouldnt waste their time on crapppy emulation.

but according to popular wisdom Unix grew out of a desire to be free from the expensive licensing of another OS.
Not really. Linux grew that way and that "other" OS was not MS DOS or Windows, it was UNiX.

Maybe because with the great succes of GNU utilities in the UNIX world. GNU is UNIX (but dont tell anyone)
Good points, but for the "government" to put you in jail, they need to sue and convict you of a crime. Microsoft can do the very same thing.
In business transactions you get the same choices as in politics, as only the popular choices are going to stay in business. Monoplies are even directly compareble to the government, it the representatives of the choice most consumers have made. The point is that althought politians are hard to replace, they are easier than businessmen and therefore they are more likely to be interested in your oppion.
Why do you trust Microsoft more than your own government?
A government can be changed by the will of people, and exists to do the will of the people (even populism gives people what they think they want).
A corporation exists to make as many money as possible for their own benifit, that ever benifit that gives to society is a sideeffect.
If you're so paranoid why do you install binary files from a convicted felon(corporation)? Who knows what those binaries contain.
No, you will always own the copyright for your own code. GPL does not change the ownership of the copyright, all it does is set rules for redistribution.
As long as you own your own code, you may change it and its licensing at any time.
Take a look at the real world! Companies makes mistakes all the time and has to recall their products, but no law or licence can force them to loose ownership over a technical mistake.
If someone steals some GPL code and use it in a closed source product, they are _NOT_ forced to change their license. Yes, they are required to do so by the GPL, but they have already broken the GPL, so they might as well face the consequences for breaking the GPL. (the usual court-practice for broken license cases is to pay damages, the question is ofcouse to whom)

The 8086 was a 8080 with 16bit extentions.
So x86-64 is 64bit extionsion of a 32bit extention of a 16bit extiontion of an original 8bit CISC instruction set.
Maybe that was the point? ;)
The aerodynamics system is seperate. It is the weapon system they need to reboot.
(I dont think the aerodynamic/anti-stall system even has a general processor or an operating system.)
Please tell me, they stopped redrawing the whole thing..
If it is static why try to render it at all?
The coder who did this, wrote a kernel-module with the single function: To panic the kernel.
I guess they will pull a Trolltech/Qt trick.
It would be a lot cooler if we could LGP it, but I guess that would cost a lot more.

This is supposedly a major upgrade (2.2 -> 3.0) you'd think the least one can get things like the latest desktops.
But it is a major upgrade. Debian 2.2 had KDE 1.2
Not all of us use Linux as servers only.
Then use Debian unstable.. It is more stable than any commercial distribution
apt-get source --build foo
Is faster and works too.
Actually it is. It is just named differently.
All the important fixes in XFree 4.2 (was there anything but fixes?) have been ported to the version of XFree 4.1 in Debian Woody.

Perl gets more and more features it is not designed for, making it potentially more and more ugly if you use all of them.

Maybe it is time to dump Perl and start designing Berl = the Beautyfull Extraction and Reporting Language

So when are they going to release Arianne 5?
I would love to see it crash and burn...
