Actually not. I thought so too, but out of interest I skimmed the ISA of x86-64 and half wayt through something struck me: You can use program entirely using the extentions!
They also talk about SSE the same way as an alternative to x87. Infact gcc-3.1 has an option to always use SSE instead of x87.
In other words, when writting a compiler for x86-64 you can mostly ignore all the legacy stuff, and just generate some smacking fast 64bit code. OTH x86-64 is ofcause not as beatyfull as alpha or mips, but is a far way from the old x86 fuck-up.
Depends.. Mandrake is horrible unstable.. And behaves generally oddly. In redhat the configuration options you given actually works. Although the need to use nautilus in their default installation makes it virtually unconfigurable on a small machine.
Of couse this is experience from installing on a P133 with 64Mb ram, but I want to scold Mandrake hard for their instability issues. (i had just convinced someone to upgrade their win98 to linux, and decided to try Mandrake on them. That turned out really bad, both with the installation crashing several times and it dialed-up automatically on boot-up no matter what the configuration said.)
The microchip transistpr.. That was a very important advance, as normal transistors are too big.. Also it has only the name in common with older transistors. This one is etched.
Of important infrastructure is the net.
Social changes: the female liberation, the youth rebellion.
Sure society is not changing as fast as 1900-1950, but then 1900-1950 wasnt even changing as fast as 1800-1850.
Technologic impact has been slowing down. But technology has not.
Another falacy:
It requires "crackerjack" programming skills to do debuging and fixing bugs.
- The most commons bugs are typos
- The second most common are stupid ones
- programmers think their own code is k33l, and QA is and will always be a joke
More eyes always help, especially if the eyes can fix the bugs them selves.
No it's not. I've heard the number before, but also the fact behind it, and the arguments agains.
The 85% is how closely the IQ of the child follows that of the parrents. This INCLUDES social inheritance.. Now read the original post.
Except that gcc HEAD cant really do anything these days. It is work in progress, and last time I checked(2 months ago) it couldnt even compile itself.
So basicaly gcc cant do mmx nor sse optimizations.. yet:)
Ehhrm..
except that you steal their freedom?
and is condeming people racially?
Sure being a well kept slave is better than being a so called free industrial worker slaving off his debt.
But thats still does not justify taking peoples freedom away.
God damn...
I never thought I would have to counter-argue someone in favor of slavery..
What's next? Facist people in the government?
Oh shit! I live in Denmark, it's too late...
It means "tilpas". But ofcourse that's danish;), and unlike in Sweden it mostly used about water temperature when taking a bath (not to hot, not too cold), or state of mind (=feeling comfortable).
The best english work would the just right or adequate. The lsst just being uncommenly used and therefore sounds too technical to use in daily life.
Actually at Copenhagen University we have computers donated by Microsoft dual-booting linux. This was one of the demands to even accept Windows machines at Institute for Computer Science. The funny thing is that the boot menu on these machines has three options: boot windows, boot linux, reinstall windows.;-)
That is what would happen in America.. In Europe a "settlement" is akind to bribery. So the AOL lawyer would go to jail for a few years and the state would take over the case.
Actually they never wrote that original program. They bought it from someone else, who wouldnt license it to IBM because it wasnt good enough.
So you right here..
But in many of the other cases, it is the initiative that pays of. Unfortunatly the heirs of the initiatives, and now passive inovators profits as well.
It not just Linux.. Unix more generelly is still in use in many corporations, until a few years ago it was _the_ choice for most workstations. Ofcouse this market is currently changing to win2000 pro, but there is certainly a market for a MS Office suite. It would just come at a price for the Windows 2000 platform.
It's not my fault they spent their time and money. It's like aguing selling sand in Sahara should be made profitable by law. If they can't make money they should find a different business. What people really need will be produced anyway, there will always be found a way.
That assumes you believe the correct abriviations of byte is b.
Well we are already talking standards. So lets start with K. The correct
abriviation of kilo is k! (km,kg,kP, etc, etc, etc)
So if bytes should be abriviated B. Kilobytes would be
kB.. Look rather silly not? Ofcouse the most used form gets the simplest and bestlooking abriviation. kb is kilobytes and the silly kB is kilobit..
BTW, the interpretation you use was introduced by Tanenbaum who though that kilo=1024 should be K. But that doesnt really help anything without new M and Gs, now does it??
STL implementations are of varying quality. The QString is designed to work on all platforms qt is ported to and therefore has more consistent behavior and bugs;)
As for the rest of STL, most of it CANNOT be implemented effeciently and is therefore redundant. We want to decrease the loadtime in KDE, not increase it (like advanced templetes and virtual functions does).
Depends on what you call optimizations, there are problems harder than NP-complete, NP-hard problems comes to mind. And NP-hard includes problemes that are not even NP (takes longer than expontential time).
There is a definition for NP-completenes. And NP is a superset of P (or equal). The NP-complete problems though has not been proven to be distinct of P.
You choose to be screwed yourself. There are many other universities that have more acceptable rules. (although americans could have a hard time finding one)
Oxford have their name to make up for their crappy rules. So choose another one. There are many good universities in the UK or in the EU and the really good ones are free (like beer and linux).

I hate xml bloat, besides xml is not usefull for ANYTHING!
It is only what you put into it.
Since noone else has.

Ohhh.. It all makes sense now
I am waiting for Xandros :)
And then there's Lindows, but I dont really consider that a linux distro.
Just for your infomation.
Except that gcc HEAD cant really do anything these days. It is work in progress, and last time I checked(2 months ago) it couldnt even compile itself. .. yet :)

You've got it all wrong.
The question is not when will Linux will catch up to Windows in eye-candy, but when will Windows catch up to Linux in functionality?
Where is windows for Unix? where is windows with network tranparancy, where is windows with any kind of standard appliant application?
Windows is 10 years behind *nix in functionalty, I find it impressive linux is only 2 years behind in eye-candy

It is not as unlikely as you think.

Well if you build it yourself it is okey, then the producer looses nothing..... (just like when copying software)
Think about that thickhead.

You sound like an american so here's an american answer:
Where's the greed? In the people that work to make money, or in those don't wish to learn a proper profession and innocently request to feeded?
Not that I agree with the sentiment in my reply, but it conveys the point.
