Geez. Just today someone told me that posting this link. They claimed to be a closed source project, but they were using the resources of SF, which requires them to be open source.
They claimed I violated the DMCA just by posting a link to their public CVS Server. When will this madness end?
I highly doubt it. SuperKaramba is a very buggie application that was written on a whim and not with much structure. Though it is very cool, it sure isn't ready for any form of the spot light yet.
6 out of the 20 first pictures either has him with his tongue out or sweeting more than any man should when they are on the stage as the front man for a large corporation....that is just plan scary:)
"none of the OpenGL implementations on linux support the required pixel shader version"
You will have to tell that to my GeforceFX5900 and Unified Nvidia Driver that has full support for all the functions you speak of via nvidia cg or via another none ARB rendering path. Now...since there is only one other chip maker that is making a card with PS2.0 (as people like to call it) that would be ATI...you only in turn have one company not supporting the technology they would need in linux. ATI has always been a joke in the 3d market with Linux so this is nothing new and Nvidia has a greater market share of high end 3d cards in both the Windows and the Linux market....so who cares?
They could have easily written that engine using OpenGL and had a VERY portable engine. But naw...they are getting some luvin from MS and ATI, so what do you expect.
How can it be not open source? If they are distributing the binary kernel with the toolkit they have to give the source to those people they distribute it to as well...
There has been a version of gcc ever since Sony released the Linux Toolkit. This is most like just portage for the Linux PS2 toolkit
Gentoo on PS2 != new linux distro most likely

Gentoo Ported to PS2
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
This probably means that they have brought portage over to the PS2 Linux kit. The PS2 Linux kit uses a version of the 2.0.x kernel redone for the MIPS processor in the PS2. If they brought portage over (which is what Gentoo is) then you get the power of portage on the system you are already familiar with, just like what the Gentoo team is doing with Mac OS X. Gentoo on OSX != Mac OS X running some new kernel or something, just means you get the power of Portage for getting apps and depenedencies and what not.
Nintendo is confronting this

Nintendo has feared that this was coming since they decided to create the Gamecube. They saw that more and more we are only getting sequal's and games with a Disney license since they are a sure fire seller. In response to this the former President of Nintendo (the mighty and wise Hiroshi Yamauchi) started a little project called the QFund. It has multiple purpose's, but one of them is to promote the idea of less expensive development (Nintendo has been doing numerous internal things to drop their production costs). The QFund has a few restrictions on it that help to this point. First of all any project gets money from QFund must finish the game in one year. If they go past that point they can loss funding. They also must use GBA connectivity. Some might claim that is a gimmick to get more people using that for Nintendo, but some of us believe this could actually lead to some real innovations:P
Did SCO really need to use some simple transliteration to make use not be able to read their other comment? What was the point? The transliteration comes out to:
As part of the kernel "evolution" toward modular naming, the functions malloc and mfree are being renamed to rmalloc and rmfree. Compatibility will be maintained by the following assembly code:
(also see mfree/rmfree below)
At this rate soon SCO will just say that all of Linux is their's and we will finally have the offending code to view.
In gentoo simply type "emerge sys-kernel/vanilla-sources" to view what SCO is refusing to show:P
"the ArtX part is crap"
It sure strikes me funny that much of the ArtX team was put on the R350 team if their works was crap. And it strikes me even funnier when you know that a lot of the "Dolphin" technology was put into R350's texturing engine.
This is much like when Nvidia bought 3DFX. While Nvidia never created a chip soley based on what they obtained, much of what they got from 3dfx has ended up in other chips (like the Geforce2 and beyond).
This poses the question of whom Nintendo will be using for their next consoles graphics processor. With the Gamecube it was ArtX (whom ATI now owns). So with this deal with the devil will Nintendo have to go else where? With all the talk of their next box coming in 2005 and that specs are already getting released to developers I would imagine they already have a team in place for this, but have they said who?

Looks like someone failed to set their USE flag properly. If you have it set right you will get support for all you want. Or if you do "emerge -vp packagname" before doing an actual emerge you can see what optional flags aren't getting used. People that use Gentoo but don't read the portage/emerge/use documents are asking for this. Gentoo isn't for all, it is only for the willing.
Please go here and reas as much as possible for installing Gentoo so you don't do something stupid.
I have been using Gentoo for months now and will never turn back. Little of this has to do with performance and 99.9% of has to do with Portage. Package management, dependency checking and the lot are SO great. Secondly is where performance comes in. Without proper CFLAGS you might as well ignore this. On my Athlon XP 2800 I have this:
Indie games have so much going for them in that they aren't stiphled by the big budget and theirfore need to make lots of money that big games have.

Kmail is a great free email client that is very fast and very feature filled. With the upcoming release of Kontact KDE will have a full PIM application. The beauty of Kontact is that is uses KDE's parts system to actually just piece Kmail, Kalendar, Knotes and Kaddressbook together into one very useful application.
Kmail/Kontact will be even cooler since they are working on a server component for Exchange like calander/notes sharing system.
Watch out people...here comes the KDE:P
I work for a web hosting company (www.hagenhosting.com) and we use basically all open source software to manage our systems. We recently started using an open source web mail client that works very well with our mail setup and in the process have made many changes to it (though I am still not done with all my changes). Once I get all the changes done and am happy with the quality of the code I changed I will be returning the code back to the original author. This is the first time that we have modified open source software that we use, but my boss was all about giving the changes back.
They aren't skimping out on the original engine. It is still using their modified Q3A engine, it is just new levels and such. Why would you think they ditched the Q3A engine they used?
