the purpuse of Debian stable is to be stable, and therefore it does not carry development releases.
Oh really. So you'll be interested to know that kde 3.1.2 is not a development release. It's a STABLE release, in fact it's a bugfix release to a stable release which in itself didn't have any serious bugs. Just look at the changelog.
In fact, there have been several stable kde versions which have not found their way into debian.
If you want to stay away from development versions of kde, just don't install KDE-HEAD right out of cvs. Anything else is an excuse for, or admission of incompetence.
Most movie trailers and stuff that i'd need quicktime for are embeded in webpages. It's a pain in the ass sometimes to find the url for the file you want and download it so you can play it.
Don't you have better stories to post?
Oh yeah, I know you do because I submitted one about the whole wide world and you fools rejected it to post this feacal package.
This story has been given way too much publicity and the guys raising a stink are jerks who are doing it for the publicity. Please don't post the story in duplicate or triplicate as seems to be the mode lately.
holy cow. :)
Sounds like you need to ditch your car;)
I've got a $200 shitbox that my parents gave me 5 years ago. $0 on car repair for the last year and I'm gonna drive it till it dies without doing any more repairs. Just oil changes and stuff. And that's from one of the most unreliable cars known to man the ford/mercury topaz 92. factsheet
Also $400 eating out/mo? ouch!
And $250 of computer toys/mo? damn.
Sorry I didn't mean to come off sounding mean, it's cool to see people with numbers that are different from mine.
But you could cut down that $400 groceries if you're single. Mine is like $125/mo.
Adding it up you could possibly save $1100/mo:)
You're making twice what I make per month surely you can save even a little. If you dun wanna save, give your kids some spending money or give your ex some more child support, she probably needs it:)
And, I think it's really cool to hear music that actually has something to say! Not just that, but something that never gets heard in a musical medium too. It's refreshing that they can pull it off. They're making social, political and personal statements in their music and it gets me excited, REEELEEEAASSEEE TIIIIIIMMME!!!
I really really liked their 3.0 and 3.1 release songs. Systemagic and E-Railed. They're on the same page as the 3.3. What awesome promo for their most righteous OS. GG guys!
Why doesn't everyone fire up gtk-gnutella and put this new release on there? I just did a search and got zero results for this new release. Gtk-gnutella is great for downloading files from multiple sources, sometimes when I grab isos off it my pipe gets filled because i can grab from 20 sources at the same time.
hahahhaa!! Excellent point. Where do they guarantee *anything*?
They don't. If they wanna screw your software out of working even tho you just paid big $$ for it, it's your tough luck.
Read their EULA's. They can be summarized in one sentence:
We PWNT you, bend over.
And now that UCITA makes those shrink-crap licenses legally binding in the US of America inc.:)
So next time someone tells you don't try FS because there's no guarantee, shove a M$ eula in their face and ask when was the last time anyone ever sued M$ because their product sucked.
Man, put in some tracks on the ceiling and put an electric engine with good torque and attach a robotic arm to it. Much heavier things could be delivered at 40mph or faster:)
Take the auto workers, for example. Let's say they made just 8$ an hour. That's a large cut in pay, but still about ten times what a Malaysian would make.
Are you on crack? The cost of living is a lot higher here too. That $8 might be a lot *IN MALAYSIA* but it's not a lot here.
Don't even act like you're that stupid. I would like to see YOU work at an $8/hr job while trying to raise YOUR family for years and see what you have to say in the end.
Hey I was under the impression that there was no generally accepted scientific theory of ageing. How stupid could I be.
Why don't you just reference a few scientific papers in peer-reviewed publications so that I can enlighten myself.
Or maybe this post is full of shit, which is what I think, since it doesn't even contain a sensical model in it.
When AMD launches the 64-bit AMD Opteron(TM) processor for servers and workstations, AMD will introduce a new 3-digit model numbering strategy for these processors. The current model numbering plan for AMD Athlon(TM) processors is not changing.
AMD designed the AMD Opteron processor model numbers to communicate the scalability of each series and the relative performance within that series. The first digit in the model number communicates scalability, and represents the maximum number of processors supported by that model number:
* AMD Opteron processor 100 Series (Example: Model 1XX) = 1-way server
* AMD Opteron processor 200 Series (Model 2XX) = 2-way server
* AMD Opteron processor 800 Series (Model 8XX) = supports up to 8-way servers
The second and third digits communicate relative performance within each product line:
* Example: Model 244 will offer higher performance than Model 242.
* Model numbers are not directly related to frequency.
* AMD started numbering the last two digits at 40.
This gives AMD flexibility to describe AMD's server processor performance without potentially confusing end users by starting at 10, 20, or 30, because users might mistake "Model 224" with a 2.4 GHz processor. AMD developed its model numbering strategy in consultation with end users and customers. AMD found that most enterprise users of server technology understood the design of the 3-digit model number strategy and responded favorably to its clarity. They could also distinguish that the AMD Opteron processor model numbers do not directly refer to frequency, or clock speed, which have less relevance to advanced server applications.
The AMD Opteron processor model number strategy extends AMD's efforts to change end users' focus from frequency to application performance. With such architecture enhancements as a 64-bit processor core, an integrated high-bandwidth memory controller, and HyperTransport(TM) technology links for easy multiprocessor scaling, AMD expects the upcoming AMD Opteron processor will be among the highest performing server processors available. AMD will provide benchmark data at launch to demonstrate how the AMD Opteron processor compares to other server processors on both 32- and 64-bit applications.
In other words. Shit we can't get our hammers out in anywhere near a competitive frequency so we're gonna confuse the fuck out of people and hope they never find out what frequency we're releasing them at.
It's funny how the lkml discussions can be so flamy all the time.. I guess it helps the work to get done if there's a little spice to it. Check out these choice quotes:
*ingo > I tried something like this before, and it didnt work.
*linus >You can't have tried it very hard.
In fact, you haven't apparently tried it hard enough to even bother giving
my patch a look, much less apply it and try it out.
...
Are you _crazy_?
Normal users can't "just increase the priority". You have to be root to do
so. And I already told you why it's only hiding the problem.

you know trillian and eudora worked perfectly for me under wine the last time i tried it.
Being the first to play a prank on someone with the indestructable pepsi can.
But wtf am I thinking. This is /. Hundreds of idiots post without reading the article and many get modded up.
oh yeah.. that's a great way to ensure you write quality stuff!

Actually, I'm not a geek and I think their songs are pretty fucking cool. Very well made.

That's about the only showstopper i have in gentoo ~x86 atm.
Yeah, what useless crap. It only applies directly to everything we know in the universe. Such crap! why doesn't it cook me breakfeast?
If you want something graphical, light, pretty and full of useful stuff use kmail (not the parent poster, but to others i recommend it).
cool, i see you :) thanks man

No wait, now i'm just kidding :)

Dumbass. No wonder you posted anonymous. Judge jackson ruled Microsoft THE COMPANY was a monopoly AND had broken the law and done illegal things.
The laws apply to the companies, NOT their PRODUCTS.
everyone knows linux is a slut that supports any architecture as long as there's one person willing to port it.
whoer.
