  4. Re:Just a stupid question on Red Hat 7.3 Coming Along · · Score: 1

    In my case 2 reasons
    1) I like SuSE, they invest alot of money in development (reiserfs, 4GB patch, KDE, X ...)
    I have a job an can afford to buy their new releases. That way they make money and more importantly they have more money to invest in makeing Linux beter. So a part of my money goes to general linux devel and other distro's get beter from this as well

    2)I am lazy and its easyer to buy and install than to download and upgrade

    When i opened up an HP vectra( nice buisnes desktop BTW) i noticed it had a IBM GXP as HD but with a HP sticker on it. I looked at some other HP desktops and they all had GXP's as drives.
    So they seem to be selling to HP as well

  7. Re:Wtf.. that's unfair to humans... on Robocup 2002 World Robot Soccer Championships · · Score: 1

    The robot doesn't get tired

    well they kinde do, their power source runs out, engines get overheated

    and doesn't feel pain when his lower legs hits a steel bar

    True but i could mess their servo's, sensors, hydrolics(sp?) ect in the leg

    I also read about a project to build a robot to drive an F1 car agianst a real pilot. The robot should fit in the cars cocpit and use the normal controls of the car. no electronic interfaces alowed. sadly enough i cant seem to find the link now

    all they say is that it is your copyright so you should mention that explicitly in your posts.
    it is not the ./editors to claim your posts copyright it is YOUR job.
    first you complian they copyright your stuff, then you complain they dont make up your mind

    Hehe, on BBC they had a report about it,
    It seems he handed out the lyrics during meetings so his staff could sing-along. Needles to say it didnt have much sucsess. They also ask sameone why she wouldnt sing it, she replyed : "Have you heard this ?!?"

  11. Re:Hype? on Valve Announces "Steam" Content Delivery System · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ok please explain this to me,
    my cdrom is 40x150KB/s= 6000KB/s (granted it does not actualy achieve those speeds but hdpram -t gives me 2867 KBS/s )
    my cable modem gets 4Mbs max thats 512KB/s ( fast mirror would get me about 300KB/s)
    so even if you take in acount the 4:1 compresion that would only effectively get me 2048KB/s
    (thats using the maximum modem speed vs effective CDROM speed)

    So what are they only installing a minimal version of the game and downloading stuff as needed ?

  15. Re:Why is this device not Open Source? on Hardware Review: Rio Receiver · · Score: 1

    This article is a sad indication of the decline of Slashdot. Here we have a wholly closed and proprietary product, designed to work most effectively with Windows. I see not a word about a source release.
    cause the product is basicly hardware, and AFAIK there are sevral projects running to build a linux server.
    It is an outrage and an affront that Slashdot should help market such a product. That Slashdot should do so without questioning or even mentioning the proprietary nature of the product is well beyond mere "outrage"
    Well you seemed to have figuered it out that out of the box it only runs on windows, and so did most of the readers here

    It is an outrage and an affront that Slashdot should help market such a product. That Slashdot should do so without questioning or even mentioning the proprietary nature of the product is well beyond mere "outrage"
    well not all of us are so narrow minded, did your GSM/NIC/VGA card/Dig camera come with full source + linux support out of the box ? no then Why did you buy it ?
    Another factor might be that some of us like to hack stuff like this
    and
    Proprietary does not unstable, unreliable, and unmodifiable, my Proprietary router is working verry well and i've seen many proprietary things been hacked to do some verry funky stuff
    And speak for yourself, its not because you dont like samething other geeks have to feel the same

    Yes i read all those cntribution/volenteer post
    and i think they are crap. Why ?
    a)all they do is the old bait and switch, lets look at it this way /. offers you an established forum to catch up on tech news, read other ppl's opinions and to voice your own. So they are providing you a service, in return they do get an added value due to ppl posting here (but also from ppl just reading the site (hits), witch they use by selling add space, and for a minimum fee they offer you the service of not having to see the adds.
    b) as stated in many statistic before only a minority of the readers post
