Just add "-fdump-ipa-all -fdump-tree-all" option to GCC and it will fill the working directory with ~100 files, one for each stage. How many stages does Clang/LLVM have?

He does regret some things. But open-source/closed-source has nothing to do with it.

Hey Q, you have a reputation in these forums for being an idiot and you are aware of that reputation. So you must know that your endorsement will do more harm than good to Ron Paul. If you really...

I see. Thanks for clearing it up. :)

I don't understand. For years, I've been doing this:

1. Go to KDE3 menu > Start new session (or "Switch user" in KDE4)
2. To switch between the previous and new Xservers, use ctrl+alt+F7 or...

Slackware's kernel, drivers and packages are mainline vanilla ones without any Slackware-specific patches. Plus, the kernel configuration options are tuned for performance. Ubuntu is heavily patched....

The article is only a Ubuntu vs Windows comparison, not Linux vs Windows. Ubuntu does not represent Linux. If you want to compare performance of Windows and Linux, you should choose Linux From...

HAL works on Linux, BSD and Solaris. Udev, on the other hand, is a Linux-specific thing. If they remove support for HAL, won't that decrease portability in X.Org?
This might be a silly question. But...

But fglrx is buggy and unmaintainable.

Thanks to mtippett for explaining.

Thanks to mtippett for the insightful comments. While I definitely agree that open-source drivers are an expensive proposition, I don't think that the same logic applies to programming specs.
...

Programming specs need not speak about internal hardware design; they just need to document the interface to hardware. So patents can't be a problem, right?

Yes. THEIR code is THEIR secret. That's exactly why people should stop demanding open-source code from nVidia. Instead demand hardware programming specifications. Unlike code, programming...

It would win them all hands down. Try the following command on any distro:

zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i "debug"

In case of openSUSE, Fedora and Ubuntu, you'll be surprised at the number of...

It doesn't. Divert your blame towards undocumented hardware and buggy closed-source drivers.

What about programming documentation for GPUs? Any plans on disclosing them? Or still want to continue to lock people into using windows and linux?

Slackware and openSuSE are the best KDE-based distros out there. Slackware is faster, bloat-free and more secure. But its package management is less intuitive compared to openSuSE and you need fair...

People, please don't underestimate the value of open specifications. It's true that nVidia's closed-source Linux driver is better than AMD's Linux drivers at the moment. But don't just assume that...

How many "other OS's" are there? I'm writing a micro-kernel myself. Can I ask FS-code writers to write a port of the FS for my OS? You can NEVER port something to an infinite number of OSes. All you...

The problem is not about source code as much as specifications. NTFS, EXT2, EXT3, exFAT are all crap. FAT is the only popular file-system to have a public specification. So any OS-writer can add...
