It would have been really usefull if we had this kind of Google Maps back in the 80s! http://blog.gamersweb.it/post/446915/GOOGLE-MAPS-- Dragon-Quest.html

GAMERS is the first european underground videogame magazine. Retrogaming, akihabara news, console modding and programming. Something like a mashup of MAKE magazine and EGM. http://www.gamersweb.it/"

Submission + - Linux Gains Completely Fair Scheduler (kerneltrap.org)

SchedFred writes: KernelTrap is reporting that Ingo Molnar's Completely Fair Scheduler, or CFS, was just merged into the Linux Kernel. The new CPU scheduler includes a pluggable framework that completely replaces Molnar's earlier O(1) scheduler, and is described to "model an 'ideal, precise multi-tasking CPU' on real hardware. CFS tries to run the task with the 'gravest need' for more CPU time. So CFS always tries to split up CPU time between runnable tasks as close to 'ideal multitasking hardware' as possible." The new CPU scheduler should improve the desktop Linux experience, and will be part of the upcoming 2.6.23 kernel.
