  1. Re:Adobe on Linux on DreamWorks Switches to Linux · · Score: 1

    Nope, MPlayer doesn't do menus (at least not at this time)... there is a player for linux that does menus , but i forget the name.

    Anyway, no menus is fine for me, since i buy dvd's for teh video, not the menus :)

    also, in reply to your photoshop comment, have you tried the GIMP? it's not *quite* at the level of photoshop (the main feature it's missing is CMYK color support) but it should be just as good if your doing standard RGB images (for a website or whatnot)

    1. Crappy multimedia support in the form of DVD software, mpeg4/divx and other video codecs, sound drivers, etc.

    Try MPlayer... this is the best video player i've seen, it supports DVD's, DivX, a number of windows AVI codecs, Quicktime (no Sorenson though :( ), and less popular formats like iD's CIN format (Quake2 movies) and VIVO formats (only used for pr0n AFAIK)

  3. Seriously? on Hardball Tactics For The Geek Lobby · · Score: 1

    Isn't this kind of a statement of the obvious?

    Politicions don't really care about the corporations unless it helps them get elected. If helping civil liberties gets them elected, that's what they'll go for.

  4. Re: Why Bother on Gates Testifies in Antitrust Suit · · Score: 1

    yes, exactly... I personally think that OpenBeOS looks promising in this area

  5. Re: Why Bother on Gates Testifies in Antitrust Suit · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Heres how I feel:
    DON'T use linux in the "average joe-shmoe desktop environment". At least not in the conventional way.

    Instead, get a project going to make an OS _targeted_ for the desktop. Even feel free to use Linux/*BSD kernels and librarys. Just don't have what the normal Linux distro tends to be - A very UNIX like system with X and maybe KDE or GNOME slapped on top.

  6. SmarterChild on Instant Messenger or Instant Advertiser? · · Score: 1

    The AIM screenname SmarterChild is a very annoying (and very easy to piss off) bot... it can be fun to talk to sometimes though

  7. Re:Virtual child porn PROMOTES real child abuse on 'Virtual' Child Porn Act Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    The thing is, with violent movies and games, most people don't *fantisize* about killing people, they just do it in the game or see it on the movie.

    However, the whole object of kiddie pr0n (real and virtual) is to get someone fantisizing about having sexual contact with a child...

    Violent movies/games _can_ help to push someone over the edge, provided they 'fantasize' about killing people to an unhealthy level.

  8. Re:Those Electronic Kits on R.I.P for D.I.Y Or Long Live Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Just get a bunch of parts and a breadboard [basically a circuit board that you can plug parts and wires into w/o soldering, then you transfer your circuit to a 'real' board]

  9. Re:true, however... on Id Software and Activision Wolfenstein Source · · Score: 1

    then it woudln't be id's game, it would be your game running on their engine

  10. Re:Anime, anime, anime, anime, anime... on Spriggan Released On DVD · · Score: 1

    You do know that you can disable anime stories in your /. user settings?

  11. Re:This brings to mind that Metallica Flash movie. on Spriggan Released On DVD · · Score: 1

    easy... the MPAA has nothing to do with Anime DVDs

  12. Re:true, however... on Id Software and Activision Wolfenstein Source · · Score: 2, Informative

    iD has NEVER, I repeat, _NEVER_ given away their games (as your one sentence about the RIAA seems to imply)... Even though the full sources for Wolf, Doom, Quake, and Quake2 are out, you still need to actually posess the game to play it (source without data is useless)

  13. Re:You need to do a VI vs. Emacs comparison on Teaching Linux/Unix Basics to Microsoft Junkies? · · Score: 1

    and then get them to discuss which one is better
    This is a computer class, not a combat survival class :)

    Um, NO... He was severely depressed when he wrote it, but he got over it.

  15. Re:evangelion movies on Evangelion Reviewed In LA Times · · Score: 1

    No.

    Death & Rebirth is coming out in June. If you've seen the series, don't bother with it.

    End Of Evangelion has been delayed until Sept./Oct.

    Aparently only the first disc had this problem

  17. Re:Frightening on Evangelion Reviewed In LA Times · · Score: 1

    Although being on at midnight didn't help. I don't know many non-anime-fan people who have even heard of it, let alone watched it.

    buckets of spam and power outages for the rest of their lives.

    Umm, don't most of us get that already?

    How about something abnormal - they should have there penis severed like a troll above me said

    I'm sure it will be out of reach of the average /. geek for a while... but it looks really cool

  20. Re:Not sure about that... on Blizzard/Vivendi Files Suit Against Bnetd Project · · Score: 1

    I, for one, own Starcraft, Warcraft I & II, Diablo, and Diablo II - I payed MY money for them.... And i play on nothing but BnetD servers. Battle.net is horrible... i've had nothing but bad experiences on it.

  21. OK, I can't resist :) on Tool Box PC · · Score: 1, Funny

    How about a beowulf cluster of these?

    That comes from the Plutonium.

  23. Well... on DivX and MP3 Developers Work Together on Watermarks · · Score: 1, Insightful

    We have Vorbis... Now we have to wait for Tarkin and hope it is as good as/better than DivX

  24. Re:man at on Should Open Source Software Expire? · · Score: 1

    A better way would be to mail the sysadmin at a specific date... it woudn't do much good to echo somehting out of the blue if you're, say, making a tar backup and have a huge list of files whizzing by the screen.

    Dropping orcs isn't fun when your the one they're being dropped on.
