x-p does have issues& flightgear isn't there yIndeed I believe the fact that X-Plane is not open source, and maintained by mainly one person in lose cooperation with a few graphics people is a major disadvantage.
It's absolutly amazing that Austin could achieve this, but the project is getting at it's limits. Why?
Even the 4th release candidate still has quality issues, or, with a less friendly word: bugs. The user interface is really, really bad. Not only does it use custom widgets, but the widgets do not follow the usual expectations. The dialogs behave strangely (exit buttons), and, for example, if you increase the rendering quality, the system drops you down to the nearest airport, which comes handy if you're flying a 747 and you end up on a helipad.
People also develop flight models and (photo)realistic landscapes (e.g. the Global Scenery Project or, e.g., Cormac Shaw's high-detail scenery for Ireland and his Aer Lingus Jets at the Irish Hub.) Stuff like that generally works much better, and there is a great variety to choose from!
I also tried to evaluate FlightGear. This project is not anywhere near X-Plane. If I'm not mistaken, they only accurately simulate piston engines (other engines are a weak approximation). Besides, FlightGear doesn't compile if you don't have certain libraries installed, which turned out to be a pain on OS X...
That said, I believe that FlightGear may outperform X-Plane in a couple of years. Until then, I'll stick with X-Plane...

Buisiness PlanFrom the article:
"They're basically saying 'you owe use money'. But if someone asks 'why do I owe you money', they reply, "we can't tell you why, but you have to pay us anyway'," he said.
so that's:
1 you owe us
2 why?
3 ?

These SCO guys are really onto something. -

Re:Zaurus eBook supportI've been using Opie Reader on the 5500, and I've been very happy with it. It doesn't read all the formats, but I haven't found anything yet that I can't read either in its original format or by using a conversion utility.
Opie Reader supports: (from the above web site)
- "Doc" format - also known as the original Aportis or AportisDoc format.
- Weasel or ztxt format.
- Plucker format.
- gzipped text.
- ppms text.
- Plain text with special handling of PML or HTML marked-up text.
It doesn't support:
- iSilo
- TealDoc (afaik)
- PalmReader/Peanut - although the early versions of these files were based on "Doc" format and Opie-Reader can manage some of the free files.
- EZReader.
The newest version even has a nifty new scroll function where it "paints" over text instead of scrolling it. It's a lot more like reading a book, in that the text doesn't actually move -- the text you've already read is gradually replaced by the next page, while you finish reading the previous page. Very nifty.

Some great bittorrent sitesFor the slashdot crowd, http://f.scarywater.net is for them.
For everything else, http://www.torrentse.cx, which has a comment system for each torrent file so people can post up their thoughts. Also they allow people to upload their own torrents. This site has the following sections: Misc, Movies, TV, Music, Porn, Books, Games, Software, Comics, and Anime.
Also, http://www.suprnova.org is good too, but has been having a lot of problems lately. They have: Games, Movies, TV Shows, Music, Apps, Misc, and DVD
http://www.bitetorrent.com has TV Shows, Movies, Music, Apps, Games, Comics, Anime and Misc. Allows people to upload their own torrent and has a tracker as well.
http://torrents.slash0.org/ also includes TV Shows, Movies, Games, and a Misc section.
The following are the best TV-only BitTorrent sites. http://www.marksailes.uklinux.net/bt/ http://www.tvtorrents.com
Anyways, those are the most popular BitTorrent places. And with me posting this now (and perhaps getting modded up =D), they should be even better and faster (if the website doesn't die from the load first).

What I did....I have one server that is a dual Athlon machine with three 40GB hard disks arranged in a raid-5 array for a total capacity of 80GB.
Then, I bought a bunch of 10/100 Ethernet cards that had EEPROM sockets and used EtherBoot to create a boot image for it. You can also make a boot image on the web here, here, or here .
You'll need a way to program the EEPROM, but there are lots of places to get info about that.
The only directories that are not identical across the virtual machines are
/etc, /var, along with the obvious /dev, /boot, /proc, and so on. /usr and /home are the same mount on each "machine." -

Talk is cheapI've reverse engineered decompression algorithms far more difficult than SVQ3's decoder.
Talk is cheap. Show us the code.
The devil is in the details. In other words, it is easy to say something is easy until you have done it.
If you have reversed-engineered a significant audio or video codec, I will retract my position and be suitably impressed.
And, yes, I do see you code at http://www.kyz.uklinux.net/packers.php3, but there isn't an audio nor video codec to be seen. It all looks like LZW variants; lossy compression (DCTs, wavelets, and what not) is a completely different kettle of fish.

Extracting data
They really ought to be able to find programs which extract the data off the CDs. I don't know what the format is, but there's a good chance it's installshield or some such. i5comp and i6comp, which are installshield extractors, come with source and run under wine. hwun would do the same for WISE, and of course there's cabextract for the Microsoft
.cab formats.
I also think that if they're going to distribute a version that doesn't yet have Bink working (movie player), they ought to call it a beta, not a release version. -
Re:The actual ranking...Be very, very thankful! I'm in Ireland and we have no option to get cable modem and our part of the list looks like this!

Re:Don't sign up at all
One of the 0845 isp is uklinux. The difference with them is that some of the revenue they get from local rate charges goes to open source software. you can sign up at their website and get a password etc befor you go.

Re:Now we just need fonts!
There is one good use for that old Windows 98 CD. Download CabExtract and rip those beautiful Windows TTFs right off of your disk.
Then, your fonts can look like this.
KDE's standard fonts look good with MS's Arial. Times New Roman is good for web browsing. Opera works well with the same fonts as used in the Windows version, but you need to tweak the font sizes a bit.
It's a bit of trouble, but works nicely on the Linux desktop. Until we can come up with some great GPLed TTFs, then this is the best that we've got.
Make sure it is Windows 98 though. I think that new EULA tells you that you can't do this stuff with newer Windows releases. :) J/K -
Don't bother with WINE
You don't need to bother with WINE. Cabextract will do the job just nicely.

Re:f dreamweaver in it's a-hole
It's worse than Dreamweaver. At least Dreamweaver can be modified to produce something close to valid XHTML code. See this page for a set of modifications to Dreamweaver that close the gap between its output and valid XHTML.

Cox downplayed the risk to Free SoftwareI attended the mini-conference, and The Register is actually a little off in suggesting that he talked about the threats of the EUCD to Free Software development. His central concerns, shared by Martin Keegan, the director of the Campaign for Digital Rights (http://uk.eurorights.org for those in the UK who want an EFF), were that the EUCD could create a new dark age, where digital rights management could see large amounts of information simply disappearing when the format becomes too old, and that minorities such as disabled people would suffer the most because it would not be profitable for companies to produce software to decode the DRM into a format suitable for them.
I wrote an article summarising the issues discussed at the talk if anyone's interested here.

A note from a VNC developerVNC development will continue, and here's how and why:
1) AT&T Labs has not released a significant version of VNC for a little while now, yet VNC development continues on many fronts. These efforts will therefore not cease just because the AT&T Lab goes away. Examples of non-AT&T projects involving VNC:
ChromiVNC (MacOS 7.5/9.x server) - maintained by myself, Jonathan Morton.
VNCThing (MacOS Carbon viewer) - maintained by Dair Grant.
OSXVNC (MacOS X server)
TightVNC (ultra-efficient Win32 and UNIX servers and viewers) - maintained by Constantin Kaplinsky.
TridiaVNC (semi-commercial Win32 and UNIX servers and viewers) - maintained by Tridia Corporation.
A large number of independent viewers, as well as a few servers, for minority and hand-held platforms are also available.
Each of the above is independent of the AT&T Labs, although most use at least some of the AT&T code.
2) Most people who use VNC seriously, use the independent versions because they are noticeably further advanced than the AT&T versions. In fact, generally progress on the AT&T versions has been limited to occasional bugfixes for some years.
3) Support for most versions of VNC (but not normally TridiaVNC, for which commercial support from Tridia is available) is primarily conducted on a central mailing list, currently operated from an AT&T server. The posting rate from AT&T representatives or developers is very low. As a group, VNC developers are currently discussing where to move the support list to ensure it's continued operation.
This is all made possible by the GPL.

What a shameWhenever I see case mods, I'm always thinking in the back of m mind "this guy must be really quite nerdy to do this". And then I see a photo of it running Windows!

Re:VNC
I had a lot of trouble on my Mac (Classic Mac OS) until I figured out two things:
1) Use the ChromiVNC server.
2) Turn off the support for RRE.
That said, the support isn't the best and ChromiVNC has been unchanged for 9 months (3.4 a5). -
Re:Slight problem
The average thief is some crackhead looking for an easy score so he can get his next fix, or the twichty low-level manager in the next cubicle over funding his cocaine habit (or covering his E-trade margin account losses).
In that case I invite you to come here as a cop, this place is probably tougher than your projects plus this happened to my friend just the other day, and this guy that was stabbed is a coworker of mine. So even if I hear that laptop alarm go off I'm gonna ignore it and take the insurance.
In the corner of my Mall car park there are a few vans loaded with 5 buck TVs, 10 buck VCRs and 50 buck laptops. The cops here ignore them. Maybe in your picket fence suburb you can afford to kick a criminal's ass, but over here it's becoming real risky business.
