For compatibility problems - LD_LIBRARY_PATH is your friend - just compile it with the right libraries and put them in the LD_LIBRARY path, so you can run any KDE app with any KDE version that you're running...
Regarding Opera, well - if you would have looked well, there is an Opera version to download with QT static build - it's 2MB bigger, but solves all the problems if you don't have QT.
It could be also that they'll demo SFU 3.0 (windows Services For Unix) - which was actually Interix until MS bought them (it was a very nice product, although the stuff there was ancient - X11R5, etc..)

Hi,
I've just examined xine's fresh working SVQ1 decoder. It's implemented in a ~60k.c file, and uses a 90k.h containing the tables.
Looking at the source, it looks like SVQ1 is a tricky h263 variant - as gerard also noticed some time ago. They crypted (don't worry, just order change and some xor) the first 4 bytes of the header, to hide it's a h263 one. Ah, and they replaced the patented DCT by recursive VQ. And, they use YVU9 (chrominance 4x4 subsampled) instead of YV12 (2x2 subsampling).
So, as you can see, the SVQ1 guy who wrote the native decoder, replaced the sorenson patented stuff with something free..
You got Pentium III 500, thats Pentium III-M - which is another variant of pentium which aims directly into Transmeta market, and they're pretty cool in terms of heat.
Install VMWare (or Virtual PC), and use the guest OS to load the copy-protected music. on the host OS install some "audio grabbing" utility which can grabs whatever the sound card outputs - now play the copy-protected song inside the guest OS and start recording in the host OS..
3 minutes later - you'll have a WAV file which you can either convert to OGG, WMV, MP3 etc without any serious hacking...
The more work they do on copy protecting multimedia - the easier it gets to copy it - ask Sony about their key2audio which could be beaten by a simple marker (heh, there goes few million dollars of investment in copy protection)...
Well, too bad for DR president that when IBM contact him back then to license his OS, he wasn't at home (he was on a plane) and his wife didn't agree to sign the NDA IBM asked for, so they went with Bill Gate's offer.
There are few details that I don't see being resolved yet..
All those companies mentioned don't give free ISO's just like RedHat (and Debian for that matter, as well as Mandrake) which kind of makes sense - a customer who downloads and uses the downloaded ISO's is one less customer who would like to pay for the distribution (not all of them - but most of them)..
I can understand RedHat point - they don't give a shit about people using Linux on the desktop - their eyes are focused only on the enterprise - thats why you won't see RedHat Advanced server available for free download, and you'll need to pay $800 for it (with the bare 30 days support - installation support) so how they're going to compete with RedHat??
This reminds me the LPI exams (which everyone but RedHat stands behind it) VS. RHCE training/exam - how many people here passed the LPI? how many passed the RHCE? somehow I got the feeling that RHCE is WAY more preffered then LPI..
You really don't want to upgrade, since the new SP1 will make your WinXP unusable, as MS knows about illegal keys (like the one which escaped from a company who are good friends of MS and their name starts with D) (thats according to the-register)...

KDE 3.0.1 Ships
·
· Score: 3, Informative
Cannot use it?
If you're using KDE CVS - press CTRL SHIFT N - now you got another tab, CTRL SHIFT W - closes the tab..
1. Very limited memory (32MB).. 2. Straight-to-the-bones programming - DirectX is a layer (which you're protected from crashing - well, many times). 3. Non X86 world... 4. Non MS world compiler tricks and optimizations...
My main machine: Pentium 4, Intel board, 512MB RAM, Geforce 2 and Nvidia drivers...
With the nvidia drivers - I get occasional panics specially when I try to play a lot with the Xv extensions (xawtv, xine, switching between them each time) - I get a nice kernel panic which doesn't even makes sense (error at address 0x00000000 doesn't look to me like a good info for kernel panic)..
Maybe NVidia could pass their kernel driver (under NDA) to Alan so he can make some remarks about it? (oh yeah, send him a card too - I don't think he got one) - I'm sure he can explain lots of things...
This will cost you an arm & leg (trust me - I checked those prices). Nvidia released a new Geforce-4 based graphics card with up to 4 monitors supported at a very competitive price compared to Matrox's G200MMS/G450MMS..
Just don't try any good 3D games on it - on both (Matrox and Nvidia) the 3D on those cards is simply not exists..
QT-3.0 got full Unicode support, as well as GTK 2.0..
Of course - there are some other toolkits around which didn't hear about Unicode support (motif, tcl/tk, fltk, etc...) - but since most Linux applications are written either with GTK or QT (GNOME or KDE) - I hardly see your point...
I'm using KDE 3.0 right now and I can type hebrew text under ANY KDE application, and I assume that once GNOME 2.0 will be out you will be able to do the same..
Instead of letting you to test a 30 days trial version of win4lin - you got an option to buy and return the product within 30 days. Its also clearly mentioned on their win4lin 4.0 press release...
Another thing - Win4Lin (as the parent poster wrote) is very good for a niche of users - only win9x/ME, only single-byte versions (latin-1) with some "hackish" support for Thai Windows 9x, and the speed is really not something to brag about it - sure, it looks like it's a bit faster then VMWare, but at least with VMWare I can install whatever OS I want..
Look at the link again and then go to their shop and try to buy it. I'll save you the search. You CANNOT buy this product since it's for EMBEDDED OEMs only!
Same shit is also with InterVideo: "LinDVD, InterVideo's Linux software DVD player, is currently available only to manufacturers for evaluation and integration. Linux users should be aware that we are engaged with top computer, Internet appliance, and set-top box manufacturers to provide the highest qualilty DVD playback for their devices."
Which leaves you only with the open source players option and you simply CANNOT buy an end-user Linux DVD player application..

Myth? hardly...
You are more then welcome to check with a percise measurement equipment the output of Matrox VGA out connector and NVidia's one..
Matrox leads on that, even compared to GeForce4
Is that a problem?

Guess who's eating his heart...
Try to check this out - see why I want to buy a Nokia 9210? :)
Fixed. Thanks.
Care to give me a URL for SuSE 8.0 for X86 download? I'm not talking about the single ISO of live filesystem, but the full download..

it's a hacked version of kazaa media desktop, not open source implementation.
Hmm...

2. Straight-to-the-bones programming - DirectX is a layer (which you're protected from crashing - well, many times).

The list goes on...
Actually - it is. I'm sorry to say that.

Nope, thats Voodoo Rush..
I was one of the owner of these cards... had a tons of problems with it..

So whats your point again?
Bzzt... wrong!

"2-3 years ago I had heard rumors of IBM revamping AIX to be more like Linux. Whether that's actually happened I don't know..."
It's called AIX5L (or AIX 5XL)...
Smart-ass...
