Yes, it'd be nice to be able to validate all packets. But if it weren't for this project these packets wouldn't even get looked at at a thorough level. Of course they should persue better methods but even if it's flawed, it's better than nothing.
I agree wholeheartedly. My girlfriend loves Opera and uses it all the time, and while I admire its stability and some other nice bits in it, I can't stand having all the pages in one window... drives me mad. I tried using it but I just couldn't stand it.
The simple fact is x86 is the biggest market. And it would not simply take a day or two (that is, if you want it done RIGHT); You'd have to recompile every program for a different architecture and do a good deal of testing on a number of different testbed systems to make sure it all plays nice.
Regardless, the PPC segment of the market is small, there is not going to be as much room for multiple competing distributions as there is in the wide open spaces of x86.
Finally in this specific case, CLD is based off Debian. If Debian had a PPC distribution then there would possibly be a CLD PPC distro now. Perhaps Debian has some PPC plans and CLD is waiting on them.
Heh, Renaissance, the only half way decent demo group ever to come out of the US... Their demos always kinda annoyed me I cuz you had to reboot for their special protected mode loaders and shit... Still, not bad stuff. 'Course, FC rocked them (rocked everyone).
The whole point of the penguin is to remind us of where we have come from and who we are. It keeps us from taking ourselves too serious, thinking we're too cool, getting full of ourselves. We're just a bunch of guys working together to make a neat little system that works for us.
I agree. Basically what I got from this is that these computers will be way faster than the old fast computers and will be able to do way more than the old fast computers. *snore*
The fact of the matter is a very small amount of the budget of the United States goes to NASA and all the space exploration stuff. Looking at some old data (www.ibert.org), NASA's share was only 1.45% of the total budget. Compare this to, say, the Department of Defense at 25.84% or the Department of Health and Human Serviecs at 19.76%. NASA is not exactly a huge drain of expenses. Next time, check your facts.
It's called "LinuxHQ Kernel Versions." Gives the current new and old versions of stable and development kernels, with links to the files and the patch browser.
Nope. The Quake IP Masquerader only applies to the original Quake (known to players as NetQuake). The Quake most people play on the net, QuakeWorld, as well as Q2 and now Q3 all run fine without any special masqueraders needed.
Yes, it's silly, but it does show there is an honest problem that it is very easy to perpetrate fraud on E-Bay, and, of course, a good deal of it isn't in such obvious absurdities
What do you mean, "could"? Do you know how many Linux questions I've answered on IRC over the last week from hard core gamers itching to play Q3Test?
Now, I doubt many (if any) of the people I talked to will stay... some had a reasonable deal of difficulty getting their systems going, and there was a lot of "What do you mean there aren't any good drivers for my sound card?" going on...
According to the article, San Francisco has 13,000 hosts per every 1,000 individuals. Given 1.655 million people, that comes to 21.5 hosts...
That can't be right. I know there is a shitload of tech industry, but almost 20 million more hosts than people? Maybe they lumped MAE West in with them or something... or their methods are flawed.
Updating and enhancing Glide for Linux won't hurt GL performance... the MesaGL voodoo drivers are based on Glide. If anything, better Glide drivers will give us better voodoo GL drivers by default.
Besides, there are still a number of games being produced specifically for Glide. This can only help them in getting possibly ported to Linux.
Games are still 99% of the time designed for Windows and then ported. I don't think many companies are going to throw out their OpenGL versions and just make a Glide port for Linux.
I have a Canopus Pure3D Voodoo 1. It may not be the best thing in the world, but I'm playing Q3Test, and I am very much liking that:). FPS is good in low res at low detail. Sometimes choppy when there's a lot of action, but I still manage to win a good deal of the time.
I was thinking about this recently. Not too long ago, I expected it wouldn't be long before all email programs had "1 button" strong cryptography so we could all send encrypted mail back and forth between any email client and have nearly transparent (to the user) cryptography.
A major problem with this is export laws. Why would a company bother to spend time making a feature that they'd have to take out of the international version? And I'm sure it's a SHITLOAD of red tape with the U.S. Goverment to set up a situation like Netscape has to 'verify' the 128 bit version only goes to U.S. citizens.
Some projects specifically could use money though. Some groups develop hardware drivers and applications and could use funds to purchase them. These groups also sometimes need money to get access to specifications and such. Also, some groups could use money for certification testing.

It is widely expected that the Quake source will be released when Q3 is finished.
I myself am stuck with an a3d card... actually, it's just sitting unused now, I've got an old SB 16 tiding me over.
Yes, it's silly, but it does show there is an honest problem that it is very easy to perpetrate fraud on E-Bay, and, of course, a good deal of it isn't in such obvious absurdities
Um, honestly, just read the docs... it says quite plainly where to get the drivers. One rpm and it works.
Zoid has said you need to renice it manually.
Well, a lot of the hard core gaming folks have either A3D cards or SB Live's. Neither of which have drivers that are quite up to full snuff yet.
What do you mean, "could"? Do you know how many Linux questions I've answered on IRC over the last week from hard core gamers itching to play Q3Test?
Now, I doubt many (if any) of the people I talked to will stay... some had a reasonable deal of difficulty getting their systems going, and there was a lot of "What do you mean there aren't any good drivers for my sound card?" going on...
I don't see what the big deal is though. RAM is pretty cheap, 32 megs should cover it.

#3 is useless.
All these people post to the "U.S. Cat Lovers Club", which relates to my ad for how to train your cat to write perl scripts.
All these people are on the internet, which relates to my ad for CRAZY COMPUTER BARGAINS.
All these people run web pages, which relates to my ad for how to make your site get 1 million hits a day.

For most companies I'd imagine that would be more of a hassle then making 2 versions.
