There's nothing in the IPv6 spec that says you can't still use NAT if you want
When will people stop thinking NAT == Firewall? They are two seperate features. You can have an entirely insecure NAT if you just forward ports to the internal network blindly.
With IPv4 you will typically have NAT+Firewall internet gateways between network boundaries.
With IPv6 you will have Firewall internet gateways between network boundaries.
Who says they can't use segmented memory? I'm sure the memory isn't connected by one interconnect, but spread out among the various processors in the system. If the memory is X number of hops away, then it is not accessable (that would be a practical constraint anyway for performance reasons).
Also, why can't AMD make processors with more than 40 bits of addressable memory? They don't have 64bit addressable memory because of cost considerations, though it isn't that hard to expand the limit, relatively speeking.
And you DO know about the baby boomers, right? You know that soon to retire group which will overwhelm the pitiful population growth like nothing else once they retire?
Don't worry. All of the illegals are taking care of that problem.
* They will actually have to have skilled support people to support Linux.
* If any non-techie type buys the computer the support costs will be higher simply because of the non-familiarity issues.
* As soon as they try installing windows software they will call support. (Though they can upsell Crossover, Win4lin, etc. in that case so it can be a win)
I really don't see the problem with the word "boxen". I'm pretty young (24) so I picked it up from posts on the lists, so someone please explain why this seemingly valid word is looked down upon by a vocal minority.
[...] it could just be they have reached some kind of tipping point where they believe that Linux now is a viable alternative to MS where they didn't previously.
Maybe after seeing that Linux can scale to 1024 processors that it can scale to 32 processors on their systems. I'd like to see Windows "Enterprise" Foo do that.
[...] While the code for that driver is free and open, the driver depends on non-free, and non-open hardware interface. Just like some open source windows software depends on non-free and non-open libraries. So, is that windows software really open source?[...]
Whether it is Open Source depends on what license the code is distributed under. It also depends on whether those "non-open" dependencies are readily available. Think of the difference between "I have to buy this library from X" and "this library comes with the platform I am compiling against, but it has a restrictive license".
For it to qualify as Free Software, the entire stack needs to be Free Software. IMO something like cygwin would qualify if it can bootstrap itself with Free Software instead of needing proprietary tools or compilers.
No, the Debian community is not doing this port

Debian GNU/Solaris

· Score: 1
It is someone outside of the Debian community doing this port. They are inviting the Ubuntu (because they seem to have lower standards on "freedom") and the Debian community (I have no idea why since because of licensing, it won't be integrated into the main project).
Am I the only one who drags from one full (or mostly full screen) window -- then press alt + tab to change to the desired target windows -- and then drop?
I do this all of the time on windows to attach files to an email and can't do in gnome 2.10.:(

It can have a routable IP address and still not be public. That's what a bridging firewall is for, ala linux.
Uhh, you want a routing firewall. Just turn off the NAT.
Bridging would only work if you were using the same hardware network protocol, ATM or Ethernet for instance.
Its bad enough that a woman had "golden palace.com" tatooed on her forehead for a measly $100K.
No, the funny thing is that URL won't work and they paid 100K for it.
I don't know about you, but every time that slow-motion effect has happened to me, I have not been able to use it to help my situation.
It is more like watching your own movie, where you get to see the bullet heading toward you, but can't do anything about it.
my understanding is that OSX does this also. Look for references to it running on a G3 "not as pretty" as on faster systems.
You really need to compare OSX with Vista and Looking Glass since they all use 3D in their base GUI displays.
I disagree. There is an active recycling community in the USA.
If you throw away a system, you have missed out on selling it to a recycling company.

Well yes, but they could easilly go for other free options other then Linux. FreeBSD, for example.
Please point me to the papers showing better scaling for SMP and NUMA in FreeBSD when compared to Linux 2.6

You mean, compared to the much more sensible US social security system?
Will anyone argue with me when I say social security is socialism done wrong?
I'm 5'8", weigh 200 pounds
Well I'm 5'10 and 270 pounds and I can just "accidentally" trip and fall on you and be done with it. No need for a gun.

Personally, I've had enough problems with both new and used cars that I'll never buy a used car again.
And that is how the auto manufacturers compete with the used market -- shorter lifespan.
And how is Windows update going to work without ActiveX?
If that doesn't change, then I guess ActiveX isn't all that "optional".
Some days you wonder why there is only +5 funny...
Uhh, he probably cleans up other people's computers.

Having not used several monitors on one system, I have to ask.
Why isn't using several monitors a Xorg issue instead of Gnome or KDE?

Does that tell me the code name for the Suse development repository?
