Correct me if I'm wrong, but by the "big spot" people are talking about on the movies has been around for years. It shows up periodically (in the upper right hand corner) to tell the projectionist when to move the movie to the next reel.
Because MySQL doesn't support stored procedures or transactions yet, though I see on their roadmap that those are planned to be added in the next 2 releases.
In this slashdot article it claims that Spirit was the first movie to be created in a 100% linux environment (in April 2002). How can this Sinbad movie be the first one if Spirit was... Over a year ago. Am I missing something here or is this just another PR attempt?
I used to have a Radeon 9700 pro (until my new motherboard decided it didn't want to work with it... it's a Gigabyte GA-SINXP1394 fyi) and I used it under linux using the ATI drivers. The thing is, with the newer r300 based cards (starting at the 9000 I believe) the interface is so similar to the FireGL cards that under linux you use the FireGL drivers, not some r300 specific drivers. I looked on the ATI site and the FireGL drivers are still available under linux. Sorry, I don't remember which FireGL drivers they were (I haven't used them in awhile), but I'm sure somebody else here knows.
In a related note: Maybe ATI just hasn't had the time to move the linux driver section to the new design? Sure, that would be the wrong thing to do, but nowadays in the "release now, fix later" world it happens all the time. Just don't go bashing ATI until there's official word on the subject.
Valve (or whoever has the rights) made a deal with FileShack to provide the beta to fileshack mercury subscribers. It's an extremely cheap service and well worth the price. I've had it for going on 7 or 8 months now.
I'm participating in the beta right now and from what I've seen there's nowhere near 30,000 people stress testing the system. There may be 30,000 people included in the beta, but there haven't been that many people playing. Most I've seen is around 3,500 on the "main" beta world and around 2,000 on the other two. Even so, it's still a blast to play and you can bet I'll be playing when it's released later this month. I can't wait to see what kind of battles break out when there's multitudes more people in the worlds.
Wow, how completely ironic is this? I just got home from work and found a rebate filled out to me from Best Buy for a product I never, ever purchased. Then I go to sit down at my computer and surf to slashdot only to see this.
No, the reason the alpha ran at 20fps on your geforce 4 is because it was an -alpha-. Alphas aren't supposed to be fast. They're just supposed to have most of the features of the full game, just unoptimized. You can rest assured that Doom 3 will run fine on your hardware when it comes out (before any XBox version comes out I'm sure).
But with those other programs you listed, do they have hundreds of applications written to do pretty much anything you can think of? I doubt it. This is nice for people who have a palmos device but still need some of those programs but don't want to/can't carry around their large calculator.
Karma to burn (not like it really matters anyway)! OZ doesn't have an email client. OZ is just the underlying filesystem and system, not the gui or the applications. Opie is the default GUI/application set that OZ uses. PicoGUI is really coming along, though, and that's another option for a GUI.
I can't dispute your claims on the Revo, however, because I've never owned one. I can say that I prefer my Zaurus over my old Visor Deluxe, however, even though most people claim PalmOS is "better". The interface surely isn't better and it's a nightmare to develop for, which is a big reason I like the Zaurus. If there's not an application out there that does what I want the way I want it I don't have to go spend hours upon hours learning new APIs just to make a small application. I can just use my knowledge of linux development and qt and directly apply that.
The primary purpose of SETI@Home or email isn't collecting information about what you're doing on your computer/in a certain program, spyware's is. I'm not saying that Audioscrobbler is spyware, but I probably won't be using it. It's just another service for the RIAA to subpeona for information.
Yeah, it was nice a few years ago before all this spam stuff, but it's becoming a big problem.
One interesting/funny thing that comes from this, though, is that we sometimes get emails from places like Ford or this one company (I forgot the name) that makes mail sorters with product specifications (or CAD files in the case of the mail sorter) and other interesting internal stuff. Don't ask how it gets to us, I don't know.:)
The place I work (Productive Data Corporation) gets tons of bounced spams and replies to spams every day. Our domain is productive.com so any email to whatever (at) productive.com comes back to the admin email accounts. As you can probably guess there's quite a few spammers that use productive.com as reply-to. We have to constantly update our spam blockers to weed out all the real emails from the spam =/
It's funny how this guy says something about how dumb the president is and gets modded to 1:Flamebait when quite a few others on here are modded to 5:Funny or 5:Interesting. Why? Because he doesn't live in the US and has the same opinion it seems a lot of you have? Gotta love double-standards.
As of now there isn't a java vm built into oz/opie, but they're looking into using blackdown's vm or another small vm in the future. They can't use the Jeode vm that comes with sharp's ROM due to some licensing issues.
From what I've been reading in here, it seems like the only thing lilo really does is "admin" the network (not really a full time job at all) and that all the servers are donated to OPN. Why don't all the people that donate their servers just get fed up with him and just mass de-OLine him? There wouldn't really be much he could do and OPN would be able to keep going the way I thought it was going. I really don't have a problem with the money begging, I just ignore it.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is why don't people stop complaining about everything and just forcibly take back what's theirs? Just talk to the server admins and have them take lilo out of the picture.

Except for the fact they said it was 20 -each way-. Making it a total of around 40.
I just want to take the time to congratulate Jimmy on a job well done. I knew someone from the "TI Community" would make it big some day.
I'm sure everyone who's ever owned a recent TI graphing calculator (TI-83 and up) will remember zTetris, among other puzzle games, that Jimmy wrote.

I always love downloading my ISO's from Estonia mirrors. I always seem to get my max download speed. Good for them!

Yeah, if he'd have named it a research park the government would have probably funded him, not raided him.
Actually, it was John3 with the editorial comment. Not michael.

Actually, the HTML doesn't even need to be well-formed.
You can just do:
<input type blah>
as a single line and it'll do the same.
You forgot about the french.

It completely boggles the mind.

So yeah, it is progress.
Wow, aren't you the hypocrite.
"God, I wish I could've seen them blowing the hell out of Iraq!" and in the same post "WAR SUCKS!". Make up your mind.
I, for one, am for the war. If it helps the gas prices around here at all, I'm all for it! =)

So, when do we get to see Deep Junior vs. Deep Blue? It'd be kinda fun to see who developed the best chess machine :)
