what if you have a power surcharge that burn all your computer? What if you have a flood that flood all your hardweare? what if someone steal your computer...? What if yuouHD broke up and loose all the data? HD are not a good solution to efficient and secure backup, removable hardware will only be the best for this, that's why Tape or CD are still one of the better solution...
Then after, MS will say that the Open Office's source have the stolen MS Office source code and they will condamn anything that OpenSource is made from stolen source code and all the crap they normally say.
Office source code was stolen? Yeah, sure!
I juste order one this morning, before the post on/.:) I bought the MPTrip. Except the missed ID3 reading, I hope it's a good thing:) For 115$+8$ for the shipping, it's cheap for a such device, and I'm sure that's it,s better than paying 200$ for a RIO with an hour of MP3..
Matrox din't open their driver, but they mere one of the first big company to open their specs, and Linux hacker had some fun with these specs to make any matrox card the best video card for Linux. We're not talking about tech support here, we,re talking about somethig dangerous for the Open source community. For me, tech support isn't really important because I never deal with any companies for hardware I buy for me or my customer except my dealers. If you call nVidia it will maybe be the same thing...
I'm maybe the 263 person to say it, but I do not want to support nvidia anymore, so I do not want to be a TNT owner anymore. My little STB Velocity 4400 w/TV-Out is for sale! I'm gonna buy a G400Max because it's the best supported card under Linux. Anyway, I'll soon upgrade my system for an Athlon 700 MHz with a G400!:)
We are not so oppressed, it's also economical, but our first goal is to "protect" our culture. Just look at the C-20 new law on the 'clarté référendaire', I don't know what it is in english, someting like facism!;) Do you think, don't think with your opinion here, that it's democratic to put a law to control what's an organisation (Quebec here) ask to it people? I cannot explain what I think correctly, but it's NON-democratic! In montreal, the percentage of people that speak french as there first language is decreasing, it's now at 55%, what will it be in 10 years? 40%? Since 1760, we were almost assimilated, but we survive, our culture survive. If it continu like this, Quebec gonna be a billingual province, and I don't want this to happen! Economicly, only 1 governement, less taxes, less income taxes... Sure, this won't make big diff because we will need to raise our taxes to be able to pay federal government's tasks, but it will be a little lower. Also, Ottawa always want to do what the province are doing, Ottawa isn't supposed to do these thing as said ih the confederation! If Quebec province didn't blame Ottawa in the past for these acts, it was the same thing when it was the PLQ (parti libéral de Québec) of Bourassa, Ottawa would has encroach the province power, so it's not only because we are so oppresed by the whole Canada that we complain so much. History is important, it represent a long battle that we don't want to loose. Here, patriots of 1837-8 are heroes for some of us. They failed, but they are examples for us... There's 4 different political power in all the Canada at the West: Reform Party and United something on the next election, South (Ontario): Liberal Party, Québec: Bloc Québécois and at the East it's "Conservateurs" (I don't know how they are called in english). Don't you think that there's a problem here? Do you think that the Liberal Party really represent the whole Canada? Almost the 2/3 of them come from Ontario, problem here Houston! As a democratique country, Canada is unstable politicaly! For the pool, you're right, Quebecers are too lazy with politic, I made a philosopy essay on this for my course. They say no because they think it won't change anything or there life gonna be the same, so they, somehow, have no opinion. When the referendum gonna be schedulate, things might change because people gonna have to make a real decision...
To those you say that have no valid arguments for the separation, yes, there's people like this, there's federalists like this too.
Well' I may not have all the answer, but I have my good reason!:)
Vive le Québec libre!:)
Cédric Charest PS: Sorry for my english that might have some incorrect use!:)
I live in Québec, and I most say that, for myself, I have strong politic opinions:
Québec: Quebec has several reasons to become a country, we wust seperate ourself from Canada, the next referendum gonna be the winning one.
Religion(s): I'm an atheist. There's NO supposed god everywhere, religion slow the evolution, slow the technology, have no right to have power on a country and why those f*cking hollywood movies must always be somehow connected to god...?
Capitalism
: I'm happy with capitalism, but it's not the ideal society, communism is a step to reach the ideal society, which look likes anarchy, but I'm gonna be dead since a very long time when this will become true!
Well, I didn't write any details, but that's my political opinion! The progress is the solution, not the conservative way of thinking.
Woah man, did you know that windows was at version 2000?! =) Debian rules! (2.3 (Woody):)
Re:sblive module under .10, and changelog for .37?
on
Linux 2.2.10
·
· Score: 1
Same thing here!
It seem that ESD don't like sblive.o for kernel version 2.2.5 with theb kernel 2.2.10...:/ esd crash, take 99.4% of the CPU, cannot be killed and Enlightenment cannot load because of this... freeze when esd is in use....:/
Hey! What's about debian? Debian is a company? Nope! Debian is Linux user who made a distribution... Drivers... this is not the biggest problem... why can't we code them for free?
I have to agree with him: 3dfx is an evil like MS and AOL. They want to be the biggest one with monopoly. MS is buggy... and too expensive... AOL is spam... and too expensive for what they offer (30 hours for 30$... ohhh... I've got 300 hours for 25$ from my local ISP) 3dfx is crazy... and they don't have the perfdormances for the price...
3dfx: Frame rate, frame rate... it's why why do not know what is 32 bits and 2096x2096 texturing... we only use 16 bits and 256x256 texturing to have frame rates.. But frame rate... what if your eyes only decode 24 frame per second? What if Hollywood movies and no more that 30 frame per second... do we really need 124 fps for Quake3? Hey... I'm happy with 20 fps... and I have a TNT, I'm happy with my 40 fps (CPU: K6 210 MHz)... so... If I have to choose between 32 bits, 2096x2096 textures, 32 bits Z-Buffer, FOG, anti-aliasing and more @ 68 fps... and 124 fps in 16 bits, 16 bits Z-Buffer, no anti-aliasing, no fog, 256x256 textures pallets and no more... welll, my choice is the first. 3dfx: We don't need 32 bits graphics, no game are made for this... now... but what is for tomorrow... will we be under 3dfx control... no real colors... [because we don't know how we can do it]?
I don't have 3dfx in my heart, like MSFT and AOL... the same for me... evil...
SB Live! is not like other SB16 and AWE, not the same architecture (SB Live is PCI...). SB Live! had no drivers before, except the one of 4front technology that was not in pre-alpha release, it was just playing the CD music... Way to go to Creative Labs!
So... if 3 Com start to officially support Linux, maybe other like nVidia (we want OpenGL drivers!) and Creatives Labs (we want full SBLive! drivers!) will follow and officially support Linux....
There's a Linux section in developpement at http://developer.soundblaster.com/ for drivers and patches... I don't know if it's there for 6 months...
I hope that they'll release spec of source for the SBLive! full, if not, I think that the driver will always be buggy and I don't think that I'll buy one... I want to buy one, but only when it will be fully supported by Linux...
Why having MP3 CDs instead of one 10 Gb removable drive? Why keeping all our video and audio on a HD when we use them juste sometime? Why put all your software on 20 CD when you have to reinstall them once a month? (Windowz problem!) Why not use it to make backup? If it's fast and secure, it's the device we need.. Why....
Slashdot Mirror
hey, we've made a new arm for the International Station, all new :) uhhh ;P
and Canadiens Rocks (well, not the last 7 years =), not Canucks.. ;)
hey Pascal, btw we have a Metro station named Champs de Mars =)
yes, but MS is supposely the only one that should run an OS on a i386 system.... uh? ;P
Maybe McdoDonald can sue me when I enter in a Mcdonald and decide to go in a Burger King after...? uh?

does debian have a sparc port? I think yes.. Am I wrong?
cdrdao rocks, absolutly NO problem copying any CD from raw!
Then after, MS will say that the Open Office's source have the stolen MS Office source code and they will condamn anything that OpenSource is made from stolen source code and all the crap they normally say.
Office source code was stolen? Yeah, sure!
apt-get install xserver-xfree86 was all you needed to do ;)
:)
Now, I just need to make the 3D working well for my G400... that's was missing with debian, a working-with-no-recompiling lib for the 3D
MPAA have only one solution: just shut down the Internet!

there's enough space for all my MP3 on this disk...!!
