[gentoo-user] Problems with evolution palm
Hey, I'm sure I'm not finding the manual or something, so feel free to just point to some good reading material. I've got everything working as far as the palm syncing with the system. It does it through gpilotd like its supposed to. However Evolution never gets any of the data, and the palm never gets any data. It all syncs to a folder, but i don't know whats going wrong! -- Christopher In 1968 it took the computing power of 2 C-64's to fly a rocket to the moon.

ICC can produce faster code, but it won't always... It tends to be about 5% faster on my own path tracer. One thing to note is that there are several compiler options for optimization. There are things like global interprocedural opts, even interfile opts, and you can also compile using statistics from previous runs (to aid branch prediction, etc...). I would say that most of the time, ICC produces slightly faster code. My argument is that GCC can do things from the C++ standard that ICC cannot, like partial template specialization.

Re: [gentoo-user] /etc/portage/package.unmask?
Portage automatically attempts to update to the latest unmasked version of a package. The package.unmask file is one way around this, but some ebuilds have explicit version dependencies - you probably have one that depends on the stable version of fluxbox. One workaround is to have portage only upgrade packages, ignoring dependencies for earlier versions. You can do this with the -U switch (--upgrade-only), i.e.: emerge -vDUup world (the short form for --deep is -D) On Wed, 2 Jul 2003 13:42:02 -0600 Shane Hickey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can anyone fill me in on this file.

Unfortunately, it's a lot easier to get behind in patches (unless you are using some nifty package management like portage ;)) in a Linux distribution than it is in Windows 2003, for example. almost every modern distro has an online update tool. I'd like to actually hear about one that _doesn't_ have this. with that being said, with regards to parents, family or friends, most of the people I know come in two categories. they either know what they're doing and run linux just fine, or they don't know what they're doing and need a lot of help anyway. in which case I can help people with linux, but not with Windows. hence, people around me generally run linux. my father does however run Windows -- mostly because he's a manager who deals with PowerPoint, Excel and Word. last time I worked with him though, his staff ran Linux out of choice and he was fine with that. he also quotes well, sends plain text emails and makes it rather painless to communicate with him. all servers and such things around him tend to run linux though. :-) my father also occasionally complains about Windows Update and bug fixes or service patches that breaks things. when this happens with Gentoo with people I know ssh is usually all the cure we need. at ork[0] we only have linux-boxen, and I must admit it's a nice feeling when a 60-something year old woman sends a mail and wonders why Evolution won't sync her palmpilot anymore. :-) (the answer is usually that pam.d and console.perms aren't friends anymore. we run RedHat at ork[0].)

[gentoo-user] the last two days
i've spent working 11-hour shifts. i'm going to continue on a similar schedule for the next three or four days. we're building, burning-in, and shipping many hundreds of units, all of which i did the software for. they're all running gentoo. seeing 150 machines all on and running at once is quite a sight. knowing that they're running the coolest distro ever makes it that much cooler. i just wish we had more time before we ship them so i could make a cluster out of them heh. -j -- Rev.

I did not think to check my system java setting because mozilla and java had been working so well. Your example worked great. James -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
