Not that I would want NaCl, I think it would be a bad thing for the web, but Wikipedia does mention:

"An ARM implementation was released in March 2010. x86-64 and IA-32 are also supported. As of...

The web wasn't meant to be tied to any platform (Windows or Linux, BSD, Mac, BeOS, whatever), should it really be tied to processor instead ?

This is something Mozilla is very unlikely to adopt,...

No ActiveX :-)

(seriously, I've seen games in a long lost time of IE5, made with ActiveX which used Direct3D and all that)

I say, let's start with CoreBoot, I'm more than willing to just buy AMD if that solves any problems:

This announcement may sounds really interresting, but many Linux distributions haven't shipped standard OpenOffice in ages, most of them use the go-oo.org version. A big bunch of patches for...

I would just like to add that, I don't know if you folks noticed but the browser vendors are adding hardware acceleration to their tricks. No plugins, but real hardware acceleration. Have a look at...

The problem is kernel and X.org infrastructure.

The open source drivers tend to use all this new API's which are still undergoing heavy development, I think it will all get a lot easier when the...

Porbably easier to download pre-build backported drivers from the internet that didn't come with the CD.

I think the problem is, their are many things still in development. Seems they are adding new API every half a year. Part of this is because of the transition to KMS and so on. The development slow...

I was just showing that btrfs isn't (yet?) faster in every environment, like the author of the article almost suggested.

I doubt I'll be using (Open)Solaris anytime soon, it's interresting but...

Totally agree about the large clusters. They pretty much all run Linux or are specialized in doing HPC:

Maybe I should add something to the previous post:

after some tuning it got much better:

Reference figures:
16* single disk (theoretical limit): 4092 MiByte/s
fio data layer tests (achievable...

You are doing single-disk performance and you say: why use ZFS ?

Maybe because it is faster on many devices ?:

BTRFS on Ubuntu versus ZFS on FreeBSD:

I did noticed Fedora 14 still uses hald, which is deprecated and it was the last/slowest to start up completely, Ubuntu 10.10 doesn't load it anymore on a default install.
