  3. Re:Deathly slow.. on First Iris-scanning ATM · · Score: 1
    I was in a sub shop one day waiting to be seated, and I was horrified to hear a store employee say into the phone (loud enough so everyone could hear): "OK, let me just read this back: Mary Smith, 123 W. 1st St., apartment 302, and the security code is 1234, is that right? Great, we'll have that to you in about 30 minutes!"

    Mary might get more company than she was expecting...

    The web site says to mail linux@nvidia.com -- I believe his personal address is dschmenk@nvidia.com.

  8. /.ing their server on Silicon Graphics rebrands itself as 'SGI' · · Score: 1

    We appear to be loading their server noticeably. There's always a great question at times like this. "That isn't an SGI web server, is it?" What can they say? ;-)

  9. Use the source, Luke! on X11Amp v0.9 Source Released · · Score: 1
    I'm using RedHat 5.2. The way I did it was with the SRPMS; you can find them at rawhide.redhat.com.

    As others have mentioned, use rpm --erase --nodeps to remove the 1.0.* gtk/gdk and imlib library packages installed with 5.2 (there are three).

    One gotcha is that the new stuff requires a binary called libtoolize; grab the libtool SRPM and build/install it; I put it in /usr/local.

    Then build and install new 1.1.* versions of the gtk/gdk and imlib libraries from the SRPMS; I install them in /usr/local. Add /usr/local/lib to your /etc/ld.so.conf file and re-run ldconfig.

    Now you can build and install x11amp! Good luck.
