'League' is pretty big in Northern England, the East coast of Australia, New Guinea, New Zealand's North Island & some of the older industrial towns of France. Although no where near as big as Union.
Also 'League' probably translates better to the small screen than any other football code
Football (Soccer), American Football, & Aussie Rules are great games to watch live, but they don't really translate well to the small screen (the games are too spread out). For example take the srimmaging & forward pass of American Football, which don't work well at all on telly (too much going on all over the place).
Where-as 'league' is perfect for telly - the camera just has to follow the ball to get all the action of almost continued 3 on 1 tackles.
Check this game here (Windows Media Player + broadband, unless you want a postage stamp size screen).
Yes you can now watch both Rugby League Test Internationals & 1st grade Club Rugby League on the web.
Check out the modified Unix style tree that BeOS uses
The whole (modified) Unix tree is inside a directory called 'BeOS', that only BeOS system upgrades from Be Inc touch.
Parrallel to 'BeOS' is 'home'. In home you can creat directories for whatever you want. a 'downloads' directory for downloads, with a 'apps', 'drivers' & 'shared files' inside, & inside 'shared files' you could have 'video' & 'music', inside 'video' you'd have 'porn', etc, etc
Parrallel to 'downloads', you can have a directory called 'installed apps', where you install aplications. If a file sharing program demands that its file sharing folder must be inside the program's install directory, that's no problem - you just symlink it to 'shared files' directory in the 'download' directory mentioned above.
Also inside 'home', you could creat a directory called 'installed drivers', where installed drivers go
This is where the beaty of BeOS file heirachy comes into play - also in 'home' is a 'config' directory which is a complet symlink mirror of the 'BeOS' Root directory, so if any apps need to load lib depencies, etc they load them here. As I said before the actually 'BeOS' directory only ever gets touched by BeInc system upgrades. So you need never go anywhere near the 'BeOS' directory. So one need never worry about WTF bin, lib, usr, etc, etc (:)) means.

PC unified memory chipsets in the past (SIS, VIA/Trident Blade, VIA/Savage, Intel 810/815), never really had the memory bandwidth for fast gaming graphics, but with a combination of twin bank & DDR its no longer a problem.
That means that there will be X86 Linux chipset drivers for NVidia's unified memory multimedia/graphics chipset. & the next kernal revision will most probably have them pre-integrated.
This means one should, with little work (once the HDD is re-partitioned/formated, so it no longer has MS's propietry XBos filesystem on it), be able to load a standard X86 distibution on it - such as the Madrake 8/1 gaming installation.
It's basically a Palm computer (its probably made in the same factury, on the same line in Taiwan or something), with the Linux OS loaded on instead of Palm OS to save on licensing costs. So they can flog it for under $100.
Some pundits think a good proportion of buyers will just load Palm OS on it (if this as the same one mentioned in an article I read a month ago that was to be released in about a month at a RRP of US$97).
They no longer have trade off optimisations (sacrificing quality for more performance) for quake.exe.
Instead they now have genuine optimisations for the quake engine, so any program (no matter what the executable is called) that uses the quake engines gets genuine optimisations.
I read a couple of reviews of the latest drivers, & they said that the Radeons (using the new drivers) do perform better compared with GeForce 3, with all (tested) quake engine games, relative to how the radeon compares with the GeForce 3 as far as non quake engine games are concerned.
That laptop has the embedded VIA Savage 4 chipset (basically S3 Savage VGA integrated into the VIA northbridge)
It has the 2D core of the S3 Savage 2000 & the 3D core of the Savage Pro (to save on the transister count & power consumption)
The 2D core does does DVD 'hardware' decoding to.
So if you get a Software DVD player that is compatible with the hardware calls of the Savage DVD decoder you'll save on processor cycles & it will multitask better.
AFAIK the only other processor chipsets with integrated VGA that does 'hardware' DVD are SIS's multimedia chipsets.
Yep in the real world there's only about 1% difference if you run a ATA 66 drive off a ATA 66 controller with a 40 core cable (there-by forcing it to default back to 33mhz), & if you run it at 66mhz (by using a 80 core cable).
Really until HDD technology catches up ATA 100 & ATA 133 are just wank offs. Its only just now (after 2 years) than new drives are reaching the limits of ATA 33, let alone ATA 66.
It's even had to subcontract production with its competition.
Even with the risk of the sub-contractors bringing out unbranded clones.
Which has occured in the past, when Asus & Epox sub-contracted some of their board manufacturing to others.
All of a sudden you could buy unbranded clones made from the same plant as the sub-contracted boards. Because those plants were making more boards than what they told Asus & Epox.
As those boards didn't go through Asus's testing process, Asus had to send out world wide warnings over the clones.

He'll then think I've been spending the past 2 years deligently looking for it for him:)

So buying Gobe means you can use it one your W32, BeOS & Linux partitions.
Then they can have the 3 versions all on one CD in a crossplatform box. Retailers love that - it makes stocking easy.
Bit like if you buy the boxed version of BeOS you get both X86 & PPC versions inside it.
Actually I think the boxed version of ClarisWorks itself came with both Mac & Windows versions in it. You know, like it had compatible with both Macintosh & Windows markings on the box.

I quite like its simplicity.
I liked the way all the selection entries in the dropdown font menu appeared in their own fonts.
About 2 years ago I built a computer for someone & he wanted ClarisWorks for Windows installed, but I couldn't find a downlaod anywhere of it.
Even old versions or demo versions that you use to get on magazine CDs.
Slashdot Mirror
When Webster wrote his dictionary there was no standard official spelling for English words (both 'color' & 'colour' were ok)
Webster's dictionary set the standard for American English.
Later (on the other side of the pond) standard World English was set in stone.
Now I happen to prefer the spelling in the Oxford English Dictionary, over Webster's spelling.
But as English is a evolving language niether is right or wrong.

League
Yep there are no rules against that sort of thing in Rugby League
& Rugby League players cope ok without helmets, padding or ballet tights.
You're talking about Rugby Union, AKA 'rugby', which is altogether a different game to Rugby League, AKA 'league'.
League is quite different with much of the rucking 'n mauling replaced by tackles 'n 'play-the-balls'
'League' is pretty big in Northern England, the East coast of Australia, New Guinea, New Zealand's North Island & some of the older industrial towns of France. Although no where near as big as Union.
Also 'League' probably translates better to the small screen than any other football code

I can try all day to drive 100mph in my Daihatzu handivan, but it doesn't mean I can.
They've already release a EV6 bus (Athlon) version of their NForce unified memory graphics/multimedia i/o chipsets.
This means that X86 Linux NForce chipset drivers are probably already out.
Here's a preview of the referance board
Here's a pic of the board
PC unified memory chipsets in the past (SIS, VIA/Trident Blade, VIA/Savage, Intel 810/815), never really had the memory bandwidth for fast gaming graphics, but with a combination of twin bank & DDR its no longer a problem.
8GB WD, 10GB S'gate
The XBox uses a X86 chip (Cu'mine Celeron, ie a P3 core) & a NVidia unified memory multimedia/graphics I/O chipset.
Right now Taiwan's motherboard makers are in the process of bringing out Athlon boards based on the EV6 bus version of NVidia's unified memory 'NForce' multimedia/graphics chipset.
That means that there will be X86 Linux chipset drivers for NVidia's unified memory multimedia/graphics chipset. & the next kernal revision will most probably have them pre-integrated.
This means one should, with little work (once the HDD is re-partitioned/formated, so it no longer has MS's propietry XBos filesystem on it), be able to load a standard X86 distibution on it - such as the Madrake 8/1 gaming installation.
Then any X86 Linux games should hopefully work.
Aeh.
It's basically a Palm computer (its probably made in the same factury, on the same line in Taiwan or something), with the Linux OS loaded on instead of Palm OS to save on licensing costs. So they can flog it for under $100.
Some pundits think a good proportion of buyers will just load Palm OS on it (if this as the same one mentioned in an article I read a month ago that was to be released in about a month at a RRP of US$97).
All the hardware is fully Palm OS compatible
