Try EEEbuntu. It's Ubuntu with a few eee-specific features, and a custom kernel. Should detect everything automatically. I've got it running on my 1000ha and I've never had a problem with it. Here's where you can grab it
Oh sweet, I didn't know that games become great by becoming pinnacles of technology.
Check it out: I'm programing this new awesome game... it's bound to become a classic. It only runs on the latest equipment - You'll need about 8000 GHz of Processing power, a 9000 TB graphics card, 20,000 TB of RAM, and a hard drive with twice the storage capacity of the entire library of congress. You'll probably need to daisy chain about 400 super computers together in order to meet the system requirements, though I've had success with running the whole thing on a beowulf cluster of quantum computers, recovered from a flying saucer crash. The game sucks up power real fast, so be sure to clear the software with your local power company, as playing the game for more than 5 minutes may cause your entire state to black out. But don't worry - each copy of the game comes with a 20% off coupon for a personal nuclear reactor (game totally off the grid!).
The game's sound effects have been carefully assembled by hand using a telharmonium, and the sounds are recorded so crystal clear, they contain frequencies not even a flea can hear. To get the full effect, you'll need a 28 channel surround sound system with at least 4000 Watts of juice.
The game natively runs in a resolution so high, the pixels are sub-atomic. No display available on the market today can totally reproduce the clarity of this game, so it's best to have the images beamed directly into your brain, using the virtual reality device from "The Matrix".
And gameplay? Well it's basically a clone of pong. But while your playing it, you feel totally immersed!
It's obviously not Googles fault. The story is just an interesting example of how technology shapes society. Doesn't that qualify as both "News for Nerds" and "Stuff that Matters"?
Nobody want's to remember atrocities committed by our ancestors, but we must keep history in tact to remind us never to make the same mistakes. That old map is a part of history, and we must keep it available to anyone who wants to see it. No doubt, it will bring up old tensions between people, and people will be forced to talk openly about their feelings - but talking is good, and you can't undo decades of discrimination by pretending it never happened. Bring these issues out and the open, and talk about them. I hope Google keeps this map feature, and is able to provide historical context and sensitivity along with it.
Because when President Obama asks someone to work for his administration, he taps them on the back of the shoulder, and says "Hey pal, you lookin for work?".
If bootleggers would give it up, consumers would have a lot less trouble taking advantage of Fair Use to protect their digital goods. But because bootleggers aren't giving up and fighting windmills trying to justify themselves, media companies have to protect their digital goods instead.
Are you saying that if people like Thomas give up, and people stop pirating so much, the big media companies will just back off? You're too optimistic! They'll just find some other way to hassle you. They will do anything now, because they are realizing their business models don't work as well as they used to.
Copyright isn't really as solid as we think it is. It's a recent concept (relatively) that followed the arrival of the printing press. Science and the arts still thrived in the days before copyright. There is no reason to think it's necessary or essential for a society to work.
I'm not saying we should abolish copyright, but I don't see why the concept is puerile.
Thats not the point. I admitted that it's ridiculous to compare what Rosa Parks did to filesharing. The poster never said "this file sharer is acting like Rosa Parks". They just used her as an example that sometimes it's ok to break the law , to counter the argument that illegal = bad. The difference is that Rosa Parks fought for a cause. That's probably not the case here. But Parks serves as an example that not every law deserves to be followed.
What asshole tagged this flamebait? Ok, obviously it's a little ridiculous to compare file sharers to Rosa Parks, but still: Doesn't Rosa Parks serve as an example that sometimes it's justified to break the law? That sometimes it's necessary?
Whoever posted that was making a good point. We should reward thoughtful commentary, instead of suppressing it.
The folks who work at major radio stations (think clear channel, ect) don't decide what gets played. The playlists are arranged in advanced, and the songs are usually chosen by a higher up - not somebody who works at the radio station. A computer plays the song on cue. All the djs do is talk in between to make the sation feel "local" but in reality, every clear channel adult 40 station is playing the exact same set of songs nation wide, and the same goes for all their other formats. Sending a CD to a radio station won't help at all! They will just throw it out. Besides, record companies have "independent promoters" at every station, paying the radio stations to play what they want.
The big record labels run things like a cartel. Bands have no chance with them, and no chance without them. The only sensible thing to do is boycott major radio and major labels altogether.
Because it's not. We use it because it has good features and is easy to use, plus a million others reasons.
Why are people so resistant to admitted that it's not just a fashion accessory but is actually a great, intuitive piece of technology.
CAR ANALOGY:
A Porsche has good features, and it's easy to use. Infact, Porsches are good cars, and great pieces of technology. But that doesn't mean everyone needs a Porsche, or that all Porsche purchases are motivated by the car's attractive specs.
Infact, most people buy Porsches because they are a trendy status symbol, and owning one makes you look cool and important. Like the iphone.
Robots can be made not have feelings of vengeance or anger. Which means they won't go murdering civilians. They will do what robots always do, which is to say, EXACTLY what they are told to. If they kill civilians, it's due to human error, not because it's "evil".
How do you program a robot to differentiate between civilians and enemies? Even humans have trouble distinguishing the enemy from civilians, especially in modern asymmetric warfare. An insurgent could be dressed exactly like the other civilians.
...I didn't really read the article - just the headline. I assumed others like me were tired of top ten lists littering sites like these. I don't need attention. Why so hostile?
I'm sick of top ten lists. Why do I care that some group at a magazine chose an arbitrary number of things in some category at their discretion with no real measurable criteria for entering the list? Get me if I'm wrong, but the whole point of a top ten list is to attract visitors to argue about what the magazine chose, and suggest things of their own that didn't make the list. It's a pseudo-event in pure form: a news story with no real news in it.
Games are certainly art... but I think you're right that games must not emulate other media. The essence of gaming is competition and interactivity. Filling your game with cutscreens just cuts down on the game play. But games need not be cinematic to be art. The gameplay itself can say something about the human experience. It doesn't need a plot tacked on to communicate something valuable.
YOU might not like the fact that a laptop is pink, and some feminists might find it offensive, but the fact of the matter is that most women appreciate it when an advertiser or manufacturer focuses on THEIR wants and needs.
Apparently most women didn't appreciate it this time. That's why Dell changed the website.
Well maybe anarchy is the answer, in that case.
I'm no anarchist, but you shouldn't just ignore an entire political tradition because it has a reputation of attracting crazies.

What problems do people have with burned CD-Rs? Don't they sound the same as regular CDs?

DRM in my car!!! Shit... can't I just wipe it, and install linux on it?

Mod parent up!

If you don't like something, you have the right to voice your opinion.
...it would have included the Internet, since nothing good ever came out of it. Period.

Because all file-sharers are rapists and murderers.
Someone mod this up. Descriptive Linguistics FTW.
