Window Maker, it's official window manager, would be to GNUstep like kwm is to KDE.....
Now, what I want to know is... since WindowMaker installs part of GNUstep by default... does Windowmaker run on top of GNUstep which runs on top of KDE when you run WindowMaker as KDE's window manager?
Please correct me if this is all wrong.. I"m only guessing Civ CTP is awesome! Thanks Loki! Romans 10:9-10
This page has a post up where some guy started hacking at the MWave. In the first night, he has source that will reconize the address & interrupt. It also lets you change it. Perhaps he'll have something going soon.
The older news of this page tells of an IBM employee that is secretly working on a driver.
And for a quick fix, this page tells how to use a small DOS partition, DOS drivers, and loadlin to get your sound working 8bit in linux right now.
Hey, it's better than nothing!
Last but not least, this guy wrote the CEO of IBM a letter asking him to release the specs. There is no mention of a reply from this letter.
The letter is on the page though. Go check it out.
I signed your petition. Good luck.

Ok, Windowmaker is the official window manager of the GNUstep project. Does it just use the obj-C libs by default or is GNUstep(the enviroment) running underneth it? Is GNUstep an enviroment like KDE and GNOME? If so Do you run Windowmaker on top of GNUstep on top of KDE/GNOME when you use it with them?
If nothing else, this will let all the other suites add the read/write ability of office97 formats to their packages. That would really be the best thing that could come from all of this.
With an average of 4 hours sleep, a wedding in 3 days, driving over 300 miles each day, I was lead to have very little time to get this together to demo to someone I don't see very often.
Notice that I am not whining about being busy either. I am, however, giving you background information as to why I didn't have the free time since telling you "I didn't have the spare time" didn't get the point across in the orginal post above.
I love "doing it myself". I grabbed the redhat CD that day so I could just download an rpm and get things together quickly.
Why do people assume that anytime someone doesn't do something that it is because they are evil in some way. Look at the post above. The guy remarks with "LIES!".
Perhaps it's time to bump the threshold up a notch.
In short, I think we should try giving someone the benifit of the doubt occasionally.
I'll do the same for you now and dismiss this all as "you were just joking" but this thread is still good for slashdot posters in general. The signal/noise ratio had started to get a lot better after the moderation came in.
I just don't run it currently because of the pain in changing the libs. I don't have the spare time. Unfortunately XMMS needs glibc so I decided to wait. This is great news!
But they are the accurate authority :)

"I still believe that people go to sites like Wired News and PC Week because they have this curiosity for the truth and this underlying belief that services [like Slashdot] don't always get it right, and they need an independent verification," said Berinato.
See, they now better. It's Star Trek Generations! :-)
With that said, let me ask you this.
1. Who knows more about the reliablility of MS code? A. Someone who as read up on the subject through a technical book. (MCSE) B. A Journalist who hears something from the company who made the software. C. People who have thousands of hours of experience in dealing with it. D. Bill Gates E. Al Gore
On the other hand, he noted that Slashdot thrives in an environment where people seek more and more fragmentation in their lives. "Instead of knowing something about a lot of things, we know a lot about a little."
"News for Nerds" is a title. I'd say most people here (At least all of my Comp Sci friends and I) know more than just computer stuff. Granted, we talk about computer stuff on here. Why? Please don't make me fill out another multiple choice question. But anyway, I play most sports decently, read science fiction, play piano, run 2 miles a day, fix cars, listen to all kinds of music, date my wife, talk about the stock market, play pool, and drink mountain dew.
However, I can't spell very well. You'll probably see a few errors in here if your not careful.
Please don't assume something so silly as "They read about computers; therefore, that is all they know about"
They say they found that their ideal design for swing wasn't so ideal and have done a complete rewrite. I just hope that maybe we can get Linux versions soon. Granted, we don't have a 1.2 release yet; however, if 1.3 has lots of rewrites of 1.2 stuff maybe we can just skip over implementing it that redone part of 1.2 and get a 1.3 somewhat soon.
The article, change log, and some good comments are here.
I had more fun playing 4 to 8 person doom2 in 94 in the computer labs on my university than any other game in my life. Why?
Multiplayer was unheard of then. Granted, iceclimber, the orginal mario bros, etc let two people play at once but that is not the kind of multiplayer interface I'm talking about. The whole idea that each person had his own screen was great. The other thing was that 3d-shooter games were new. You put those 2 really big concepts in one game and wow!
I also had more fun playing C&C than starcraft. Why? Because it was one of the first stragity games of that type to allow people to play over the internet. So again, there are 2 news things. One, I didn't have to go to the lab anymore to have the 4 people playing at once since I could use ppp from home. Second, it was a new type of game with a great soundtrack that didn't hurt it any.
Now, everthing gives me the "Been there; done that" feeling that leaves me wishing that subspace would be ported to Linux. Xpilot just doesn't have the graphics and sound. Maybe I should shut up and join that project:)
I have a P133 with 32meg notebook. Windowmaker fits in as the perfect balance in speed/functionality. I've not tried blackbox or icewm. I've heard good things about them too. Windowmaker is just really easy to setup/configure (even if you've never used it before). It looks nice and is very good for just getting work done.
KDE and GNOME are nice but unless you have a lot of RAM to throw around, I would avoid them like the plague.
This is not bad design, this is just the way it is. I really wish I could get mozilla to compile so I could avoid the memory bloat of netscape. M7 did fine but M8 just wouldn't make.... oh well..
I hated that too, but I think I have found a solution. If you open some vertical bar on the left, it has an icon list. I don't remember how I did it and I don't have a copy with me now to see. Anyway, if you open that, you can drag the icons out to the desktop and then launch each app individually as it should be.
I saw the opening demo. If I remember correctly, they motherboard is SGI with their own memory and bus but using intel CPUs.
The bus is the key. It could move data many many times faster than your typical board. I wish I could remember the specs. I know it was in the Gigabits.
I saw SuSE for the first time this weekend. The first thing that stood out to me is that it is an HPsUX clone. init.d is in/sbin and YaST looks exactly like SAM.
I hate HP-UX for that. Why can't they leave things like init.d in/etc where it belongs.... Sure, we have BSD and System V.... But why make each system V different? Shesh....
Other than that tid bit, I've heard great things about SuSE.... More power to em, I just wanted to complain about something.
Since science admits when they are wrong. I guess I won't be hearing about Carbon dating anymore. I'm also glad to know that the whole layer dating issue is gone for good. Not to mention that a 2-year-old Biology book at college is still trying to show the horse/graffe argument. Remember, if you keep cross breeding tomatos long enough, you'll eventually get a dog.

I just looked for confirm and I cannot find it on LinuxBerg. I did read it somewhere though.

Ok, it may not require glibc. I thought it did. glibc was listed as a requirement on the specs at Linuxberg.
If I was wrong, I'm glad you corrected me. But saying that someone is lying just because their info wasn't correct... hrm.
I'll let you think about it
