  1. Re:ATI Linux on Dell Asking ATI For Better Linux Drivers · · Score: 1

    I had this problem with my laptop a while ago. Seemed to be because X couldn't use xv to output video.

    Nothing to do with 3D.

    Is xv working on your computer? I think mplayer will tell you what output driver it's using.

    There is a plugin that might help you: Aardvark.

    It has an 'isolate' option, that will let you do what you are mentioning.

    You can try it out here: http://karmatics.com/aardvark/


    Cheers.

  3. Re:Perhaps it was lack of incentive on Shorewall Developer Tom Eastep Quits · · Score: 2, Funny

    Google Answers does this.

  4. Re:A lot more could certainly be done... on Study Finds Windows More Secure Than Linux · · Score: 1

    Red Hat has put SELinux into Fedora and now recently Enterprise Linux 4, so it seems they are getting there.

    While I agree that more security by default is a good thing, I suppose they are thinking about their customers getting trouble migrating to newer versions if they change too much too fast.

  5. Re:A good piece of investigative journalism... on Norway Considers New Copyright Laws · · Score: 1

    Thank yuou for clearing up my acronym-mess.

    When it comes to directives, I am pretty sure that Norway has to implement all of them. This has happened several times in the past on very controversial issues - this download/anti-copy-protection-circumvention laws becoming one of them.

  6. What would be really interesting.. on Browser Speed Comparisons · · Score: 1

    was a a comparison of which OS is fastest for browsing, and which was fastest in each browser.

    Maybe even comaprisons by different Linux distributions.

  7. Re:A good piece of investigative journalism... on Norway Considers New Copyright Laws · · Score: 2, Informative

    The law is in a large part proposed due to a EU directive (Norway isn't even a member the EU, but in the EC). Especially the parts about copy protection are there because the government has to follow this directive.

    I believe Norway is the last country in the EC to do this.

  8. Re:LUFS on Experiences and Thoughts on SHFS? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A good way to keep dates in sync would be to use ntp, don't you think?

    Just a small tip :)
