If anyone is interested here is another video of the same crash but this one shows different angles including what is going on inside the cars and what the drivers are going through.
if anyone hasn't noticed, Apple and Microsoft have been playing very nice together since last year.
Can anyone explain to me why MS has been playing nice with Apple but not with Linux? I have never understood why they are doing that but they try so hard to stop Linux adoption. Mac's are the ones putting the bigger dent in their desktop marketshare. You would think they wouldn't be releasing Office and other things on that platform to keep people from switching away and decreasing their markethare even more.
Also, the ability to return a game that I do not like.
Isn't that the point of renting games from places like Blockbuster or some other place so you can try them before you buy them? I'm also thinking Blokcbuster had (has?) a policy where if you rent a game and you do like it you can keep the game and pay the rest of the purchase price if you want to buy it.
I had the same problem but with a cd-rom drive. it would totally freeze the system if I put a cd in the drive and unfreeze if I took the cd out. it turned out to be autorun. i disabled autorun and no more freezing. now you have to go into my computer and click the drive itself to view the contents instead of waiting for the screen to pop up to ask you what you wanted to do.
We can already stream DVD-quality movies encoded at 1 mbps or so, well within the current consumer "broadband" offerings. I'd assume that would be in the target range.
I'm not exactly sure how this will work but they said you have to offload the data to their servers. So if you are playing a game wouldn't you have to upload all the data to their servers so they can process it? Consumer internet connections are fairly quick at downloading but it seems that the upload speed is going to be a problem. My internet connection is 10mbps down but only about 700kbps up. So that seems like it would be the problem.
Thanks. That is exactly why I want to try it out. I currently use virtualbox to try out various distros but I burn the ISOs to cd so I can boot them up and make sure my hardware is supported.
Tip: if you don't want to burn a CD just to test a distro, you can write the Live CD images to a USB stick. Just look at the livecd-iso-to-disk script in Fedora's ISO.
Do you know a program that I can use with any distro? I was going to get some CD-RWs but this sounds like a better idea.
Plenty of people will be putting in covers of copyrighted music, but I'm think small local bands will use Guitar Hero to promote their music in grassroots type of way.
When I complained that the OS they gave me didn't have the same features as Windows Vista Home Premium as described on the MS site and demanded remedy,
Just wondering, what features were missing? I had no idea some features could be taken out.
Since this will be a web based operating system does anybody know how one might play games that would need to be installed? Trying to play crysis or any other graphic intensive game wouldn't work very well.
Another approach involves running Windows alongside Midori, and the last alternative would be a standalone Midori implementation that could run traditional Windows applications.
Also it says one solution would be to run windows alongside midori. what would be the point of having midori if you have to run windows anyway. If another solution would be to have a standalone version of midori what would be the difference between that and just another version of windows?
Now, maybe you meant that Firefox doesn't offer a feature specially designed for storing the xpi files somewhere to be reinstalled. I don't think there's enough demand to merit that enhancement being added. Sounds like a reasonable idea for an extension, though.:) There is an extension that will do that. It's called FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension). You can backup everything about your profile. You can pick and choose what you want backed up and it will schedule backups also. It will backup your extensions as an XPI file so you can install them later.

It looks like the parent has the pre-release repo enabled. I had it disabled and I am still on firefox 3 beta 5. when I enabled it there was a bunch of updates including firefox 3 rc1.
I downloaded the linux version also and when I load the game I get an error saying the sound system cannot find an audio driver on my system even though I have sound in other applications. I am running kubuntu 8.04.
Free IT support when I'm available at home Your wife wants to switch to linux because she will get free support from you? Did you charge her when she was using windows?:-)

Does anyone know how much money is needed to do a project like this? Is the $1 million more than enough to cover the cost?

So it looks like a good old fashion book burning is in order! Unfortunately, it's a website.
How about a good old fashioned slashdoting to take down the sever that the article is on? The server might go up in flames.

Don't bother replying to this guy. He posted the exact same comment in the post-beta windows 7 leak story that was posted.

We get it you don't like linux. Just go away.
I'm currently on site at a customer's office.
Wow, you are posting on slashdot while at a customer's office? You have to let me know how you bill the customer for that? :-)

Anyone keeping a list on hardware compatibility by manufacturer?
Here is a site that has a list of compatible hardware. It is all user submitted results. I'm not sure how up to date it is though. http://www.linuxcompatible.org/compatibility.html
I'm not sure about the ps2 controller with the usb converter but if you plug in your xbox 360 guitar to your computer there is a driver you can download from microsoft to use it. You can try it though. Here is the link for the driver. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0e989b12-576b-42f2-b7c1-2a17ce25188b&displaylang=en
He is talking about songs that users create using the editor.
Plenty of people will be putting in covers of copyrighted music, but I'm think small local bands will use Guitar Hero to promote their music in grassroots type of way.
The director of Guitar Hero World Tour said they will remove songs that have a copyright. Here is the link quoting the guy. http://www.joystiq.com/2008/09/29/guitar-hero-world-tour-wont-condone-your-awful-cover-songs/

How do you know? $150 million is a lot but maybe if the pirated copies were still not available that number could be even higher.
Here is a link to a better quality version of the gameplay. It is 19 minutes long too. Hopefully it can withstand the slashdot effect. http://www.eurogamer.pt/tv_video.php?playlist_id=11691
