VMware player and workstation now have experimental 3d acceleration support. I have a Windows XP player running Google Sketchup in accelerated mode currently. Works great.
My Sprint phone came with a trial version of this Rand McNally application. It was really cool while it lasted. Had a little 'locate me' feature that would pop up a map of my exact location. I played with it while the trial version lasted but refuse to pay Sprint 5 bucks a month to keep using it. I really wish the new Google Maps mobile app supported GPS.
Not likely, there are cameras that can handle a gunshot or two. ExtremeCCTV makes some extremely cool cameras. Explosion proof, pressure resistant (for underwater) , toxin proof (for chemical plants), Hi-impact (withstand sledge hammers), all kinds of cool stuff.
I love Metallica's music to a point that many of my friends call insanity. I also love the Internet and believe in all the privacy stuff that is being invaded here. I had been telling my self that all this was their lawyers ideas not the band memebers. It is obvious now that the band itself is taking action in this too. However, I cannot boycott Metallica. And I think there are thousands of others out there like me. People who own every Metallica CD that was ever made and will continue to buy them. This little boycott may stop the Slashdotters from buying the next album but Metallica has millions of loyal fans who dont even know what Napster is and could care less if Metallica sues them.
I read an article on the same camera the other day. I want that camera so bad. This thing can take 1500 pictures because it uses the SuperDisk which holds 120 megabytes. The camera is also an external drive for your computer through an USB interface. So just hook it up and transfer over the files. Also incase you cant afford a new disk or something it will read the good ol 1.44 floppies as well. It will do 1280x960 resolution. This thing will do a crapload more stuff including very very short videos made with Quicktime and still images that have 5 sec audio. Take a look at everything it will do on the website.
Okay well now my hopes and dreams have been shattered. I just recently bought the Half Life Adrenaline Pack it includes Half Life, Team Fortress Classic, and Opposing Force. And ever since I bought it I have been glued to the darn thing. My studies are falling because of it. And unfortunately my friends are pissed off cause I am never in Linux anymore. They say I spend way too much time in Winblows. I kept telling them it was okay cause that game kicked so much arse that it was sure to be ported soon. Then I see these posts on/. saying it will never happen. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont know what Halo is but I would love for Oni to be ported to linux. Loki has already done Bungies Myth so why not strike another deal with them for Oni.
i would have to agress with you on the KDE part. I dont know about XFCE. I have switched from KDE to Blackbox recently. But the one thiong i miss about KDE is that i never had to use a mouse. in the control panel thing in KDE you can setup almost any hotkey ocnfiguration. then if taht doesnt help you there is an app called Khotkeys that you can download that can do even more.
update... i just got the iso images up. took me awhile to get them downloaded from cdrom.com but they are there and available now ftp://cl081.dhcp.ttu.edu
those mp3s were only on there temporarily for a friend of mine. they ftp is meant for the slackware downloaders. i might have left them if someone didnt hammer me and kill my bandwidth. sorry
okay everyone ftp.cdrom.com full??? i got a small solution. I have a mirror running at ftp://cl081.dhcp.ttu.edu/pub/ i dont know if the last few packages have been added to make it the full stable but i know it is at least up to date as far as earlier today goes. cause i checked thi s morning. I dont have a limit set yet but it wont take much to kill my bandwidth. my machine is a AMD K6-2 400, 64 megs of ram. and i am running two ethernet cards on a 10 mb/s service. so good luck if i get too bogged down i will probably put a limit up. email mlaplant@ttu.edu with questions
slack is wasy to upgrade. maybe not from 4.0 to current. cause those are completely different. but i use 'upgradepkg' everyday to upgrade to the new packages taht are released
sorry forgot to post the ftp site. my site is ftp://129.118.188.81. check it out. Im on an 10mb/s ethernet so downloads shouldnt be too bad. expecially if you happen to be on Texas Tech campus. then I have seen 600kps downloads.
I love slack so much I am mirroring the site myself. I have a little script in my root crontab that checks cdrom.com every hour and downloads anything new. So everyday I rush home and check to see whats new and use 'upgradepkg filename.tgz'. So I am as current as they get.
They have the tgz packages. Which are extremely easy to install. And I have been running this beta for some time now and it actually has a RPM. I haven't used it yet. I always just use 'rpm2tgz' to convert rpms then install them.

I've seen reports that it can run many older DX8 type games. Of course wine runs most of those just fine so why bother with a VM.
Light speed too slow?
We'll have to go straight to Ludicrous Speed.
