Open standard... well, open may be a relative term in this case.
M$ did a (not-so-nicely-working) version of NetShow awhile back. Don't think it'll play these tho (that player's too old). And no, Squid won't cache it. Does ANYONE know what the hell protocol rtsp:// URLs represent?
Let's think about this for a second. Would they really do that? Would they REALLY snap up just the e-mails that suit their purpose? (i.e., painting all Linux users as flaming loudmouthed morons?) I think we know the answer to this.
I will agree with you on the account of Mindcraft being referred to as a 'whore' in some of the e-mails which they posted - I guess that's as accurate a word as you can get.
OTOH, some of the language is pushing it. I understand the sentiment of many of the e-mails, however, I can certainly understand the thought that obscene words can be overused. When it's every fourth or fifth word, it's getting a bit overdone. They (the e-mailers) should try to clean it up some, at least. However, others' points that Usenet often picks up much nastier flames... well, I can't disagree with that, either.
The Linux community does need to persuade those few who would try to use swearing to prove a point to use it a little differently. I can see swearing... but there's a point where it's just too much.
I know it was used as an ASIC-type deal in a few Intel-made devices (similar to how Intel's i960 RISC chip has oft been used). Hoever, I don't know of any actual consumer computer systems that used it as the CPU.
Why are you screwing with Xi's X server? I tried it a ways back (v2.1) and it hung just about every time I switched away from a running X session. I've heard the same problem with more recent versions. Before you give up, try XFree86 and see how it works fot you. Oh, and have you tried the latest pcmcia-cs release? I think 3.0.12 is current as of now, so if you're not using the latest version, try it. If you get the same problem, try to trace it down as best you can, and report it as a bug. That's part of what Linux is all about - tracing down the problems so we can eliminate them.
Heh. Exactly. Just like VMS before it, from which NT draws a fair share of its internal architecture (by proxy - several VMS core team member, Dave Cutler for one, worked on NT) tried to slay Unix, and failed. There have been so many who claimed they were the David to Unix's Goliath. I think the day that Unix will be replaced is still a fair ways off.
Gee, it's got a BASH shell like UNIX.. It's got a Posix API like UNIX. If it looks like UNIX, and smells like UNIX... well, it's at least pretty closely related.:)
I agree with you wholeheartedly. Also, someone should tell Mr. Metcalfe that Win9x and NT have slowly and surreptitiously been borrowing ideas from UNIX for many years. Why? Because the guys who developed UNIX put a lot of careful thought into it, especially to making it simple and powerful. Oh, and there's that TCP/IP thing too...:)
Maybe because you got there too late? Did you read the part that said 16:00 EDT (that's 4:00 pm Eastern)? Also, I have a few suggestions for you... first, stop talking in the third person. Makes you sound like a moron. Second, there's a key on the left side of your keyboard, marked 'Caps Lock'. Press it ONCE - then never touch it again.

Also wanting to avoid WinAMP's shadow somewhat. But also, like you said, avoiding PlayMedia's claim on anything named *amp.
Hello? McFly? XMMS is what X11Amp has evolved into. Have you been in a deep, dark hole? Did you not read the IRC log? And XMMS isn't gonna have a console mode (also mentioned in the log).
Please read before posting - makes you look like you have some idea what's going on. (sorry, but it had to be said...)
Yes, I think we all know SCSI's an interface type (there ARE a lot of geeks around here, y'know). I personally don't like IDE - much too needy of host CPU time. Of course, it's not like I can really afford to go all SCSI on my home machine - that's the only reason I find IDE an acceptible substitute, because I can't afford better.:)
Not really. X is more just a networked graphical layer on the console. The actual GUI itself is created via your selection of window manager and applications (and by proxy, widget sets as well). X itself is pretty simple - I think the core wire protocol consists of like 5 or 6 messages. All X does is manage the actual drawing to the display device, and the user input.

As far as the display technology that OS X is using, my understanding is that it's something called Quartz, which is basically a bastardization of some DPS stuff mixed with some of Adobe's newer PDF technology. (This is my understanding of it, anyway.)
First thing to do if they own the host - have a nice, friendly chat with their upstream provider, and explain the situation to them, and tell them outright that you aren't impressed with this person/group/animal/other entity. Some upstreams don't care, but others will take action and tell them in effect "just remember, we don't need you morons, so cut it out". Also, if you control your mailserver and you're using Sendmail, use the RBL feature, and let the Sendmail people know of any offenders. Always satisfying to blackhole a spammer.:)
Yea, yea. We? We who? Having seen Microsoft's server (server?) software at work, I certainly have a hard time believing that. And I don't think "a few" NT servers are gonna be able to beat a Starfire on database serving. A Starfire is just plain huge.
Just because they said they're not making exclusionary contracts, doesn't make it so. Microsoft says it's done nothing wrong, but I think most of us agree they have. (Not attempting to make a direct comparison) Also, Red Hat claimed not long before they IPO'd that they were not going to IPO soon. However, they did. So take everything you read with a few grains of salt, what say?
Uhh, I thought it was a verifiable fact that water going down a drain did swirl one was in the northern hemisphere and the other way to the south, and I thought it was due to the Coriolis effect. You sure it's all just urban myth?
I guess you haven't heard of the TrueType patches for XFree86 - I used them, all you have to do is follow the instructions to patch it in, rebuild, and get a utility to build a fonts.scale file for TypeType fonts (there's such a utility listed on freshmeat). Mind you, you'll need a few hours (took 3-4 hours on my P100), but it builds TrueType support (via the FreeType library) into the X server and the standard xfs fontserver (and mind you, a fontserver is actually frequently a better way to go - it can keep the X server from blocking while fonts are being rendered - hopefully XFree86 4 will use threading in the X server itself, and make this less of an issue).
Whine, whine. You sound like a spoiled child. If you think it's so irrelevant then WHY are you bothering to read it? And on top of that, why e-mail Rob, bothering him with one MORE unnecessary gripe? Get over it already.
Far as I know, we here in South Dakota don't have any DSL service either (we are also served by USWest). I lived in New Mexico for awhile - if you think USWest is bad, go down to Carlsbad and just try dealing with GTE. You'll REALLY be hating life then.

There is a Glide library (v2.6) for the Banshee and Voodoo3 line. It supports fullscreen only at present, but I guess it works for Q3Test.
