What does this mean for Apple's Aqua? didnt it just become more OpenGL based and use more of the nVidia/Ati card features that have those OpenGL features onboard?
sure, push those jobs overseas. then when you see your chip designs and internal network documents and business system data are stolen quicker you might think again... when you try and start a new business.
i like the bike better than the ski sails that those three guys tried to use.
though parts for the bike might be a pain in the ass to deal with. i would be interested in what parts on the bike break.
wonder if the bike has a belt or chain? that seems like some serious technology. i wonder how bad his boots are going to get chewed up by pedals or if the pedals and boots are going to just grind away at each other.
since they were doing this in vietnam. though then it was just people detection by sensing the chemicals humans emitt.
i know the technology wasnt so hot back then because they were in a jungle (where everything is alive), but in almost everyother environment it should work just fine.
seems sort of lame, they could have a demo or something without it and i would be very happy. i'll take a static image of 'movie forthcoming' and 'ctrl-g' bell for sound ding... ding.
if tons of people download and use the thing maybe it would help the prioritize it better. if not, then they can stall it if they want for good reason.
i sort of get a 'buyer beware' vibe off some of this. and thats what makes me test drive the stuff i like too listen to or use.
consumers should be able to buy what they expect, otherwise they should be able to return it fairly. if i buy a power tool and it just isnt up to snuff. i can easily return it. media such as music and games have a channel that prevents this. that same channel also tends to misrepresent or exagerate the products as well.
i would agree console game rentals offer a good deterent from piracy. that an the proliferation of demos and beta presents some good offerings.
you cannot return games at best buy (or simular) because 'they say so'. nothing more than that. when games are not duplicatable... such as when dvd games game out and nobody had the means of doing it or when games are cartrige based. they still wouldnt let you. they are just exercising their power.
its not like best buy is going to take back civilization 'play the world' just because the game isnt playable yet and its on the market.
agreed, boycotting is quite dead in this era. though i think its not a perceived option because of the market pressure and values people have.
perhaps ea sports upgrade insurence for madden football is needed?:)
screw those music companies if they are going to rip someone off for another cd with only one good song on it. simularly another cd with just a different cover or maybe a 'bonus' song on it. how many $15 disks did i buy that i didnt want once i listened to the damn thing? are there tracks i never finished? sure. nothing i can do about it either
same thing with games as well... a nice box or animation on tv isnt enough to make me happy if the game is lame or behind by five years. especially in this world where nobody takes back returned games.
anyone know where i can read about this zlib(compression|decompression) library support? there is some very interesting mentioning of it in./inculde/linux/zlib.h and of course in menuconfig as well.
tivo doesnt behave like this at all. when it doesnt have a decision making seed it simply takes guesses at what you might want to watch. when a guess it made and you actually watch the programming it simple follows up on it.
if these people went through their 'tivo suggestions' and actually rated programming they wont have this effect at all.
also until tivo becomes 'multi-viewer' allowing for multiple people's suggestions a certain level of odd lookups are made.
sort of ot here, but one of my friends worked at a radio shack that jeffrey dahmer frequented. the police went throguh dahmers receipts and what not and tracked him town to radio shack. seems he bought batteries and was a member of the battery club as well.
i dont see the problem with playing the cd, capturing the analog out (if need be) and running that into your run of the mill line-in filter of your computer or simular capture device.

will this impact the people that pirate the software? seems like it basically eliminates piracy quickly.
of the v.90 / flex56, 56k modem non-sense. what a disaster that was for consumers.
this sucks ... i hope that a simpler way comes down the pipe for iptables users soon
wow, i have no idea how this posted to this article ... obviously it was meant for this so sorry

this problem has nothing special to do with sysadmins. its a human resource problem of a entirely generic form.
"how do people prevent people with privledge from fucking them over?"
i think employee onto employer a mockery of the likelihood of employer unto employee.
i dont have much more of flame bait suggestions for answers, just more or less refined questions.

same thing with games as well
i dont see how they are going to get my interest with their server being down. this is the type of thing that kills mushs.
... well then they can easily have my $20 or so a month.

i would love to spawn off another virtual life.
do any of the distributions allow for doing something like this via apt/dpkg?
.rpm/.deb but it seems like something workable for the binaries that are installed.
likely only handle part of the
agreed, but that interface isnt going to convert a lot of people quickly.
umm, because the documentation i refered to said that the STDIO could now handle gzip encoding which is pretty fucking cool.
sure lots of things in the kernel use zlib functions and they might hvae been unified (i woule hope) but this seems quite a larger scope.

this all sounds like the theory of how TWA flight 800 was brought down, though that was by a meteor people say. http://twa800.com/news/twa800-news.htm
i think its hardly irresponsible, i consider it merely posting the redistributable fix to the problem along with the notice that it exists.
because floppy disks are so bad now-a-days that i cannot make a debian rescue disk to install with.

worked for records and tapes for a long time.
