  1. FireWire??? (Re:USB!!!) on Linux Kernel 2.2.14 · · Score: 1

    Your webcam is probably USB

    Or FireWire(TM) aka i.LINK(TM) aka IEEE-1394. High quality digital motion cameras (camcorders, etc.) tend to use the faster FireWire ports on Power Mac G3s, newer iMacs, and newer [LW]intel PCs.

    Does any one out there really use Gnome or KDE?

    I use GNOME.

    WM is my favorite

    To each his (or her) own.

    I'm tired of start menu's (This also includes stylized "K"'s and "little feet")

    The Mac "start"ed it all. It put its start menu in the upper left corner.

  2. Re:The Difficult Bit Will Be.... on Man To Live In House for One Year · · Score: 1

    Getting ayone to actually deliver to you with a name like "DotComGuy"...

    Dot-Com Ghai? Sounds Oriental.

    if you worked at a pizza place and got an order from someone named thatm would you make the drive to the address he gave?

    Perhaps. I'm being paid to do so. But how would he pay? With his ClickCredit?

  3. Re-clarification on Wine Gets Direct3D Support · · Score: 1

    If I wanted to use DirectDraw in DirectX8 I would simple create an IDirectDraw7 interface exactly as I had done in DirectX7.

    What I meant was that Microsoft is no longer actively developing DirectDraw, except as a wrapper around Direct3D that takes advantage of a whole new set of calls (nicknamed "Direct2D") to manipulate 2D surfaces using 3D hardware (presumably with some sort of parallel projection).


    Tetris on drugs, NES music, and GNOME vs. KDE Bingo.
