Oh, and they're scaleable. So, if you change your resolution to something lower and then go back, your mouse cursor might look really tiny. Or, the other way around, and the cursor will look really large. Basically, X is attempting to keep the cursor the same size on the display across resolutions.
I should explain that this happens if the cursor doesn't get rescaled. If you can reload your window manager or open an application after resizing, you should see that the cursor looks about the same size on the display. As WMs get xrandr support, this won't be a problem.
You cannot be told what the cursors look like; you have to see them for yourself.
No... really, the cursor can't be captured with a screenshot.
So, just imagine a red mouse cursor with a white outline and a strange red shadow that makes it look like there is ghosting on your screen when you're over a black area. That's redglass.
whiteglass looks a little better.

However, IMO, the shadows suck. They look like a really cheap ripoff of Windows 2K/XP's shadowed cursors. The alpha-blendedness is pretty, but not much else.
Occasionally, if you're watching a movie in fullscreen with the xv driver in mplayer (or maybe xine, too) and you move the cursor, it leaves behind a black square. Very annoying.
I'm only using a Radeon VE/7K, so maybe I'm not expected to see any amazing differences, but things have almost gotten worse with the TCL stuff in the radeon driver. The VE/7K doesn't have TCL support, so sometimes, some accelerated GL stuff locks up X, and you have to log in remotely and kill the offending app. Hopefully this will be fixed in 4.3.1, or the separate dri project's drivers.
I dunno. I've always found Mozilla on Linux (loading/rendering) to be horridly slow, while Mozilla on Windows was acceptably slow. Phoenix isn't much better in terms of loading time...and then, it's just about as fast as Mozilla in terms of rendering because it uses the same Gecko engine. K-meleon is okay. It also takes a bit of time to load, and gives rendering speed about equal to Mozilla/Phoenix. It's a little faster opening a new blank window, though (woo..).
No, I've never used a Mac/Opera extensively.
Honestly, in terms of speed, I've always found IE on Windows to be the fastest. Perhaps it's an X11 vs. WhateverWindowsUses thing, but IE loads faster and renders faster. Don't tell Grandma that part of it is loaded at boot, so that's how MS cheats.. she'll say "Uh-huh..." and go on using IE.
The only browser I've found on Linux that competes with IE in terms of startup speed is Dillo. No, not Dildo, Dillo. Its rendering speed isn't so bad, either. It's a little "dirty"; lots of mess left behind when resizing the window.. but it "cleans up" pretty quickly.
With that, I use Mozilla as much as possible, since I can use it just about anywhere I find a computer where I have a choice.
That's what I thought. However, over the last couple of months, I've noticed an increase in the cost of 100 CDRs. I know that further in the past, I was able to get 100 for between $16 and $17, but now they are $24 - $32. I suppose this could be supply and demand, but I'm not so sure.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but it would seem odd that the RIAA would even bother pushing for and getting royalties on audio CDRs only. I thought they were all up in arms about people downloading MP3s, not SHN/FLAC/WAV files, which would be better written to a CDR for playback in music equipment.
That's just a reference file. What I've done in the past for downloading the full file is to get ethereal for Windows (you'll also need winpcap). Then, start a capture. Start the movie streaming. Wait a second or two. Then, stop the capture and find a packet that was going to or from your machine and the apple streaming server. Right-click on that packet and select "Follow TCP stream". You'll get a window that shows the data that went between the apple server and your machine. One machine's data will be in a reddish color, the other in blue. Save this as a text file (or copy-paste into notepad). At one point, you'll see a line for what server your machine went to. Nearby, you'll see GET/some/path/movie.mov where "/some/path" is a long directory path to the movie.mov. Put these two parts together, append "http://" and use wget or whatever to download the movie.
This means that their software would have to be open source as well.
No, it doesn't. Where's TiVo's source? We don't have it [legally].
You're allowed to write software that works on Linux, but which isn't GPL. You're even allowed to write modules for Linux that aren't GPL (see the nVidia drivers).
Basically, even though it runs on Linux, it doesn't have to be GPL.
Now, if they modified some GPL source and sold/included the binaries, then they'd have to give you the source, as well, if you bought the product. You might even have to buy it (!!!!!) But, then if you bought it for, say US$1.5M, you could give it to your friends for free or sell it for US$3M. In any case, you'd have to give the other person the same rights to sell or distribute or change the sources as you had.

Thank you for posting this. The second side has the exact demo I was looking for:
Amnesia by Renaissance (1992)
And, here, those of you unlucky enough to have never seen this demo on a PC may listen to the nice music that went with the demo. In this case, the tracker used was rewritten by Tran and the music recorded at 44.1kHz and encoded as 128kbit MP3s. The music is only half the treat, though. If you can find a 486 of some sort and a SB Pro, I think you'd really owe it to yourself to check out what they were doing in '92 on 386's.

It's amazing how much sympathy has poured out for a guy who stole people's credit card numbers...
I believe you're referring to these credit card numbers. Note that all three of those links indicates that Mitnick was not alone in obtaining those numbers.
If you watch Freedom Downtime (buy it there or search the web..you're encouraged to share this one) you'll see the creator of DefCon (I believe that's the con..) saying how that file was traded like "bubble gum" and that "everybody had that file... If you didn't have that file, you were nobody."
Mostly, the sympathy is for being accused of things he did not do.
I don't know you, but I'd like to ask you to please try to keep from going this far. My mother is long-time friends with a woman whose husband committed suicide fairly recently. I knew the guy. He was really nice, and this was not at all expected. Above all, your committing suicide because your wife and kids left you might solve the problem for you, but your kids would be very hurt -- moreso than if they just left you.
Basically, any pain you feel that is killed with your own death will be magnified within all of those who know and love you (and even if neither of you know that they love you now, they will know that they love you if you kill yourself.)

The only Opera that they show available for Linux is 6.11. I got the static qt version, and it segfaults for me.
