When the hell is somebody going to fix that, and whos fault is it?
X? WM? Graphics Driver?
it's getting old.
That was a custom patch that is included in Fedora and Ubuntu. It was not a problem of Qt, KDE, or even the X folks, it was making inappropriate use of a standard (i.e. breaking it) to slightly speed things up for compiz/gnome users. The patch is now reverted in Jaunty/9.04 and is NOT present in other distros.
Well, if my school is anything to go by, this isn't the case at all. Everyone here (5 people) who has purchased their Eee also have (or had) another notebook that was more powerful. They did not buy it for their only machine. They bought it because of its size, its weight, its price, and its ability to still be a 'normal' computer. Interestingly, none of them were linux users before the Eee. And one of them has even branched out to put Kubuntu on his Eee.
Unfortunately, even if this were to happen it still wouldn't be a free-for-all. Other music managers can't (easily) put music on the player with a majority market share (the iPod) which means that Apple would have an advantage.
The problem with switchgrass is that it takes about 10 times the volume compared to corn to make the same amount of ethanol. So, since the factories are not on the farms themselves, there will need to be 10 times the trucks moving the switchgrass required compaired to the trucks moving corn for ethanol right now.
I'm part of a first year team (we're called rookies) and when I attended my regional kickoff today we were already discussing what we could and couldn't realistically do in the 5-6 weeks of build time. It's very interesting because we have so many ideas that would really improve the competitiveness of our robot that we have already had to drop because we know that they would take way too much time.
On a side note:
Does anyone know if I can use C++ to program our robot instead of C (not even objective C >_>)? Also, does anyone know of any Linux software replacements for IFI_Loader and MPLAB? Thanks!
Interesting that the creator of that simple gui now works for Microsoft on their kernel team.
Using my highly accurate* skills at seeing the future, I have determined that Microsoft is not only going to have a kernel for windows 7 (vista+1) that uses the concept of ext3cow, but also will be written in Hindi, and will be completely open source.
Ok, being a bit more serious... I bet that since this guy (who is very interested in data preservation) is on the windows kernel team, and has been since 2005, will influence data storage in future versions of windows.
And as a footnote, I'm sitting here on my Kubuntu 7.10 installation, being bored and checking out backuppc (which looks fantastic!)

You're not going to get 400mb/s speeds out of USB though, because of HD read/write speeds. I doubt that the measly 1.8inch drives in the iPod, or the flash memory in the touch/phone can surpass 20MB/s (160mb/s) sustained write. Not saying that the zune's drive is any better, but the wireless won't be quite as slow as it seems on paper.

# Of course, that's assuming that the spyware has no knowledge it's running in a VM and doesn't try to get to the real computer.
Even if the software 'realizes' that it's running in a vm, it can't do anything about it because of the sandbox nature of VMs. The only way it could get to the real filesystem is if there was a exploitable security bug in the VM's software. (not the guest's software)
Alright, I must be crazy. I was just thinking about HIV in the shower, and a similar idea came to my mind. Now it wasn't identical-that would have been freaky-but similar enough to make my hair stand up when I read the first/. entry this morning
Considering that RHEL 4 was released in February 2005, I'd say it's been a while. Over 2 years, which is 4 times the release schedule for Ubuntu, as an example.
I'm semi-ignorant as well, but, here is what I (think =P) I know:
AACS Device keys are the top level. The reason why there is still a debate is because (in theory) studios can issue a new device key, meaning that all players using the old key will be broken.
What I'm fuzzy on:
This device key... Is it specific to the player? Meaning, does a device containing AACS protection have multiple ways to unlock/decode it? It would seem so...
And I have to agree with you. I've also been using 64bit gentoo for 2 years. It runs extremely well, and I've only had one (minor) problem with game server software (Mangos) that I don't even need running on it anyway. I like that gentoo makes it stupidly easy to run 64bit systems; I don't normally have to worry about what I compile, and because of the 32bit libraries installed, if I do have a problem, I don't have to set up a chroot or anything.
You can create aliases to commands to make them as short as one letter commands. From a howto I saved a while ago:
First of all open a terminal and edit.bashrc
near the end of the file uncomment so it looks like this:
Code:
# Define your own aliases here...
if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
. ~/.bash_aliases
fi save and close the file. Now you can define your own aliases in a file named ".bash_aliases" (note the dot before the name please) in your home directory. Some samples:
alias df="df -h"
alias h=history
alias untgz="tar -xvfz"
alias untbz2="tar -xvfj"
It still has the driver problem where if you install a mother with another chipset (or is it ide/sata controller?) windows fails on bootup because it doesn't have the most basic of drivers? Every single windows system that I have had has gotten hosed because of that. My linux partitions? The most that I have had to do is change one entry in drive locations (fstab).
Weird.... I'm sitting at home here at my gentoo system. I have compiled FF 2.0 from source, and the dojo fisheye is EXTREMELY slow. On a VM windows xp running under this same gentoo box, the fisheye demo is almost as smooth as my kiba-dock (fast).
Edgy Eft is full of new and beta packages, and it has had half the release cycle of most ubuntu versions. Because of this, I'm amazed that it's working as well as it is. If people want stability, stick with Dapper! You'll save yourself headaches. There's a reason why they have LTS on Dapper.
Ever heard of PasswordSafe? http://passwordsafe.sf.net/ It will store passwords for you in an encrypted database, and can auto generate strong passwords.
Hmm. Vael uses your GPU because of all of the special effets that are happening. Computationwise, it's the same as any other 40man raid, with 40 people + 1 boss. (There arn't even mini creatures!). The problem is that every few seconds, graphical effects are applied to every single player, and that spells are happening even faster than normal (For one person, they're instant). Oh, that and the fact that at the start of the encounter, red lightning hits every player =).

Sorry, I'm not sure why this got posted as AC. I guess ./ logged me out while I was reading?

Unless I'm horribly mistaken, I'm pretty sure that Gutsy Gibbon is NOT a LTS release.

You wouldn't be quite as 'flamebait' if I still had mod points =/.

Very interesting =). I wish I had mod points atm!

Same here. My baby steps were done with mandrake 8 and 9. I think that they go a LONG way to making things seem 'normal' to windows users.

I find it very encouraging that education and oss are working hand in hand, because they are both heading toward the same goal of information.
