If the driver is written correctly (as is everything I've ever tried), and your kernel supports modules (which is every distro I've ever seen) then you _don't_ have to recompile your kernel, you compile the module, do a depmod -a, and modprobe.
You are only garanteed that modules work if the version of the kernel is the same as the version the module was compiled against.. In many cases it works across versions as well, but it has nothing to do with the driver supplier as the Linux developers reserve their right to change the binary interface at any time and any minor version.
There has been a lot of complains about it on linux-kernel (search the archive) and the answer has always been the same: Linux tolerates binary drivers they DO NOT support them.
The alternative: TERRORism - as many have pointed out here - involves intentionally targetting non-combatants in order to frighten them into sucumbing to your political goals.
So in your own words: The isreali government are terrorists. Or maybe you just dont follow the news?
(The isreali government uses( in their own words! ), locking out palestian workers, tanks in palestian cities to frighten the palestians to accept isreali supremacy)
Drugs doesnt help you a lot in soccer. It helps, but not a lot: It cant make you make better passes. It cant make you shoot more accurate. It cant give you a better tactically sense of where the other players are.
This is one of the attractive parts of soccer, you dont just need pure brawn like american football, or to be a freak like basketball. All you need is skill and to execise a lot. Everyone can train themselves to run what a professional soccerplayer runs during a fight (Unless they are pussies like american athletes;-)
What is more: It is only in the US the phony companies are greedy enough to charge for receiving calls. Since he wasnt in the US, anyone could have called him, eventhough he was out of credit.
I'll bite.. In Denmark the laws was recently clarified on the issue. As a result it is now legal to make first copies. So if the mp3 is origínal and paid for, you are free to share it. If you have riped it yourself, others may not copy it.
No not balanced coverage. They start the article with all bad stuff and FUD. The rest of the article makes you wonder whatever happend to the doomday propheticed in the intro.
Unfortunatly introductions are also called executive summary. So a lot of people are just going to read the initial lies and deceit, and not the rest of the article.
Dont you americans have dead-keys on your keyboards? Shame on you!
I have never had problems with accents on linux or unix, except when sitting with a crappy standard US-keyboard. Fortunatly some of the UNIX keyboards has a compose key that does the same.
Perhaps the question whould be: Is there a way to mark certain buttons on a US-keyboard dead?
I dont know what you that Windows "reconfigures" itself. The biggest reason that Windows falls a crawl after a few weeks is because the users doesnt crack down hard enough on applications that try to take over the machine. This is applications like: Microsoft Office, Realplayer, ICQ, and many others. By default they register useless and resource consuming services, start various even more useless applications at boot-up and claim that these launches the application faster, but at the same time they consume resources and slows the entire machine down.
If you dont install shit windows doesnt loose momentum. At least I have never experienced that, so you must be doing something wrong.
Maybe because they arent available? My company had to buy 10 laptops for running linux because we develop for and in linux. But the only laptops we could buy had windows. In fact, all the thinkpads we bought had preinstalled version of win98 SE AND a Windows 2000 CD we could install ourselves. The only available option was which windows version should be preinstalled, there was no way of buying a Thinkpad without TWO versions of Windows.
I think a whole lot more people a running linux of thinkpad than are who are buying thinkpads with linux, simply because the later is non-available.
Because Linux does not protect sufficiently against bad users. By using a lot of memory, or forking insane amounts of processes you can fuck all other users and the system itself.
This would not be possible on e.g. HPUX. OTOH you cant compile certain applications on HPUX without root-access, because they use more memory than the systems believes you are intitled to.
These are the major distributions. Depending on how you measure it, SuSe is more widely used than RedHat, just not in the USA. (remember that Europe is larger and has a bigger linux movement)
How I see it, SuSe have had problems convincing (american) software houses to support them and have therefore teamed up with a few smaller distributions to get a bit of marketing. Since Red Hat is the enemy it would make no sense to invite them and Debian is not a company you can make agreements with.
Notice btw. that both SuSe and Connectiva are starting to use apt-rpm. Especially Connectiva has chosen it to be the primary source of updates for endusers.
Btw. I have never seen a job that required that, but I have once requested to have my contract send in a different format. Damn difficult to sign a contract you can't print..
I think you are on the wrong track. Yes, normally the media is suspect, but in this case the interview seems very real. As you notice you can even double check their infomation on the website of his new company.
Q: So what is it? A: Well what does it look like? It looks standard sales hype. A company selling intelligence claims to have employed a former NSA agent who worked on Echelon II. It is SO convinient that neither NSA nor Echelon officially exist so there is no one to refute their claim!
Ofcause it might be legit, but I really suspect NSA only use lifetime contracts. You can resign; but only when your dead, otherwise it will be arranged.
only if you "make bootstrap" Actually you can make yourself a faster compiler, by build gcc with icc. (libstdc++ and other compiler libraries are always build using the newly build compiler, so no speedup there)
Ofcause it is cynical, that's kinda the point! I was trying to come up with rules for comparing evil dictators and figuring out who is more beneign. *wink* *wink*
Btw. You are properbly right Stalin was a better man for his country, just not for the 100 million people who died under his regime.

Charge me for receiving packets?? are you kidding?
I dont know any service here that charges for more than the connection. (except mobile internet )
You can track to user on any sharing system that does not a have central proxy-server. I think this includes all of the above.
The alternative: TERRORism - as many have pointed out here - involves intentionally targetting non-combatants in order to frighten them into sucumbing to your political goals.

So we are comparing window managers?
So lets compare window managers:
KWin: 340ms.
So what is your problem with KDE?
What is more: It is only in the US the phony companies are greedy enough to charge for receiving calls. Since he wasnt in the US, anyone could have called him, eventhough he was out of credit.

So it's still evil journalism.
Hello, what's wrong with good ordinary dead keys?
Dont you americans have dead-keys on your keyboards? Shame on you!

If you dont install shit windows doesnt loose momentum. At least I have never experienced that, so you must be doing something wrong.
Right! So you can only become a manager if you know how to backstap your current manager?
That certainly explains a lot to me.
Maybe because they arent available?

Yes it does....
To hell with leasing. Software wasnt to be free! (and broken)

Get a job somewhere else?
Btw. I have never seen a job that required that, but I have once requested to have my contract send in a different format. Damn difficult to sign a contract you can't print..
Yes look at hear face!
What ARE her eyes doing on the side of her head?
Rabits have eyes on the side of the head, humans dont!

Why? She is so ugly!
I personally believe her sex-appeal just like her music appeal is just the result of marketing.
you mean like the Linux kernel? ;-)
only if you "make bootstrap"
Actually you can make yourself a faster compiler, by build gcc with icc. (libstdc++ and other compiler libraries are always build using the newly build compiler, so no speedup there)
So do they have the same cool cloaking-ability as the adult predators?
I guess that was supposed to be a joke..
