you will never get a Logitech USB webcam to work under Linux. Believe me, I've tried.
I'm sorry but that isn't exactly conclusive proof.
It's posible to get any piece of hardware working given enough time and resources. If you were determined enough you could build a USB sniffer device and work from there. etc. etc. .oO0Oo.
I didn't know it was demeaning to state the obvious, thanks for the lesson.
I didn't doubt his intelligence. The comment is tinged with 15yo ness that's all.

it's been a busy year for the TF2 team :
[June 14, 2000] - 3D Game Force Talks TF2 with Yahn Brenner
[June 13, 2000] - New Team Fortress 2 Preview On ActionTrip
[June 9, 2000] - Half-Life Update 1.1 Released
[June 2, 2000] - Valve's Robin Walker on Planet Fortress
[December 20, 1999] - New Team Fortress 2 Screenshots .oO0Oo.

I'm a most co-operative. Come here with a court order and I'll release the username.
We had a case where someone had used someone elses CC card number to sub to a porn site.
Cops came down, we did the investigation and sat there and said "well we know which account was used to log in, which know which phone number the call came from. We can't tell you until you've got a warrant. And when you've got that information that's all you've got. You can't prove who was on the other end of the phone, just that it was that phone - unless they can forge CLI."
So for all intents and purposes it was plain who the perp was but the cops never came back with a warrant forthe information and the perp never got any comeback.
it is quite legal for me to buy a game cd and then copy it so long as I don't give anyone else access to the copyrighted material I have purchased the right to use.
Copy protection is the mechanism that prevents me from exercising my legal right to fair use (in the USA).
The system says :
Copyright violation is illegal in most parts of the world. We pay our taxes to finance the police to protect us from law breakers such a this. The state has failed us so we must take the law in to our own hands. All users are criminals so we'll make them pay in cash and then pay in time fucking about with whatever shit we introduce to the arms race.
I wasn't joking
And I actually think it woul dbe a good idea for them. I'm not sure that they have no interest in the movie market. A move towards open source software means they have less invested in the software copy protection angle.
One of IBM'm main benefits of OSS is that they don't have to invest so much in OS development for their new hardware.
From only reading what was posted earlier about ATA OSS will suffer from this idea. Certainly I have yet to see any benefits for drive consumers, or producers for that matter.
If I have it right then it's like a printer cartidge manufactuer persuading paper people to make sure their paper can't be photocopied so that people have to buy ink cartridges instead of photocopier cartridges.
However, we live in a computing world where it is the job of the inquisitive to see what things will do outside of their design parameters.
Almost a definition of "hack"
When the functionality of the product gets tightened and the undocumented features fail well that's just too bad.
It's good though that the subverted uses get proper built in functions. That the font tag is being depreciated is a good thing. Just look at the spew that Dreamweaver etc. *have* to output to ensure consistency. CSS is a beautiful evolution.
I fully support XHTML and it's derivatives and I'm looking forward to swtiching my development away from SGML to XML based solutions.
the usual moaners saying "what's the point of that" bore me
The point really is that you get the write once use anywhere philosophy. Ok so java has been there before but surely that fact doesn'e preclude someone else trying it out.
The plan9, Inferno system of distributed computing through namespace binding is the true gift of this project. Although I did notice some of the Styx functionality has been removed for security (Styx is the network).
You implement services by mounting your service as a file system. You can then execute all of your machines capabilities through echo & cat!!
"So what!" I here the unimaginative cry well you can bind services from remote computers and use their capabilities in exactly the same way.
Slashdot Mirror
but that doesn't mean it's not possible, just difficult
.oO0Oo.

could you tell me where I can get a 2d hologram from please. goodness I'm abusive today
.oO0Oo.
then you should know what compression means
.oO0Oo.
tape compression is audible but maybe cd compression isn't
And why Ximian over Zimian? Because X's are cool. could it be er The X Windowing System
.oO0Oo.
sorry mate wrong
.oO0Oo.
CD Audio is compressed because it has an upper and lower limit on the frequncies it can represent.
Just vecause the storage method doesn;t ue a compression algorithm
go away and read some literature on sound engineering
let me guess - you're under 25?
.oO0Oo.

ok well maybe that's a good idea but lose your PC, hard drive or whatever it's stored on and you're hosed.
;-)
.oO0Oo.
plus if you play from home and work like I do then you've got an annoying sync problem.
At least it looks like Blizzard had a backup system in place which must be a gold star for them.
I'm too busy with my head stuck in Red Alert 2 to be bothered with Diablo2 anymore
then why are you even reading this stuff?
.oO0Oo.
aw I wasn't trying to bait anyone. I was merely suiggesting that a products users should not define my opinions of the product too much.
.oO0Oo.

Remember Spiradisc?
well not all the things you want but more
.oO0Oo.
plan9.bell-labs.com
try reading about plan9 or inferno
What's to stop them doing it now?
.oO0Oo.

how about getting them to promise to continue to build quality open use hard drives.
.oO0Oo.
true

here's a handy tip
.oO0Oo.
copy your \win98 directory on to your hard disk
saves you an age
gosh your political analysis is truly deep
.oO0Oo.
I bow down at your insight
deeta

want to play audio on MY computer
roughly
bind MyComputer\audio \hisaudio
cat music.pcm \hisaudio
and the audio plays out on my machine
You imagination should take you from there.
i've got a vynil record with a program for a BBC Micro on it.
.oO0Oo.
it's by Kissing The Pink and it plays a sort of video to go with the tune.
