64-bit is significantly better for games and databases. 64-bit is also better if you are paranoid: with 16 general-purpose registers, various stack smashing protection schemes, for instance, don't hurt your performance as much as in 32-bit mode. But for a typical app, the performance benefit is...

The thing is, GNOME is really designed for >=256M. So is Firefox. However, to get decent performance out of the i915 (such as fast scrolling or the ability to play games), you are going to need to give the graphics card more memory, which will cut into how much memory GNOME's bloat can use. I...

Only 256M of system memory? That's pretty low, considering that a fair bit of it will have to be reserved for the i915 card. I recommend buying more RAM, and adding<BR>Option "DRI" "true"<BR>VideoRam 65536<BR>to the "Device" section (note: that will reserve 64M of memory for the graphics driver...

nougat:<BR>at the level of the wire protocol, every authentication scheme is single-factor (where the single factor is "a large number"). IMHO, terms like "two-factor" and "three-factor" are meaningful only when referring to the interface between the human and the login client, at least until...

I would guess is that your X is not configured right. What video card do you have (if you don't know, run lspci from the command line)? And what does your /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or /etc/X11/xfree86.conf if you have an old distro) look like?

IIRC, it means that Toshiba must either provide the source (on a CD in the box with the device), or have an offer to mail you the source on request, or at the minimum give you a way to download it off their site.<BR><BR>It is under no obligation to provide the source to anyone except for the...

Generally, java on a recent jvm with jit will run about as fast as c++ compiled with g++ (of course, Java will use several times more memory than the c++ program, but that's another story). Pure C can (if you spend enough time) be marginally faster than c++ and java.<BR>Mono is currently several...

First, I <I>love</I> how everyone in this thread assumed that 2.6.15 has awesome SATA support. It really doesn't. I have a SATA hard drive and dvd burner on my laptop, and back when I was using 2.6.15, I needed several custom patches to get everything working right. LibATA is maturing fast, but...

The GNOME libraries were always in C, are in C, and will remain in C forever, amen.<BR><BR>But applications are a different story. Writing a GUI app in C simply sucks (I know this from personal experience). Thus, lots of popular applications written for the GNOME desktop are in C#/Mono. However...
