Find the spammer, sue them for $1,000,000 for violating the AUP, giving 1/2 to the person who reported the spam. Then have them shot and drawn and 1/4'd so they never do it again. Finally, hit them with an ICBM. That'll put fear in the ranks of those jerks.
UUNet isn't hte only problems, a lot of spam comes from.kr, and.jp domains or through public email lists (DO YOU HEAR ME GIMP-USER AND GIMP-DEV LISTS! SHUT DOWN THE FRICKEN PUBLIC POSTS!)
The screenshots are blocky, the game itself looks very lame. Sorry guys, I can't get excited about this. Let's see Carmageddeon or Al Uncer Racing (sp??) or a good Links (that's golf for all you dummies out there) game. Then I might get excited. Roll-play is dead, lets get some good games for Linux happening!
From World Net Daily, this article talks about how data from a different level of government is being used by the Clinton/Gore administration to sway the vote of people who's residancy status is not yet confirmed!
Not when there's been no activity on it for over a year! get real dude. If express were in real competition, there'd be a LOT more development going on. Instead, maybe Galeon, or Skipstone (a web browser written in Perl) would be better choices.
It has always really been the answer. Artists will get their money this way and people still have to pay for music they want but can still share and so on. I think this is win-win, though I agree, I have to wait to see the price. I personally think $1/song is fine when you consider the average CD is $16 and there are 15-16 songs per CD.
The actual hardware is a Mac. The plastics and Apple logo give it away;-) as to the OS, it is not a Mac. Not sure. It could be LinuxPPC but I'm not sure.
Idiots! after I implemented my firewall ( Edge FirePlug) for my @Home connection, I watched as a whole wave of attacks went through my logs. Most of them were from other @Home users, but some were from as far away as Germany and Australia!
I'm not missing anything of what OS X is. I know the codec is not out for Linux. I know xanim couldn't get the codec. That is NOT the issue I'm trying to point out.
What I AM pointing out is QT runs on the BSD shell. I don't think it would take much for Apple to make the libraries work under Linux or any other *nix. The codec is embedded in the libs. All apps (includeing xanim) have to do at that point is make calls to the library and let the lib handle everything. Then QT movies should work on Linux.
Now, whether Apple will do the legwork to port the libs, is another issue entirely. All I'm saying is it can be done, and hope it will.
One thing I think everyone is forgetting. Remember that QT is mainly a format developed by Apple. It is (currently) the dominant format for media on the web. QT Streaming has replaced RealVideo on many sites for example. The only real competition is Windows Media Player and the.asf format (whcih is mostly used for p0rn anyway so I don't care).
my point however is that QT also works fully on Mac OS X (I know I work with it) which is based on BSD and the Mach kernel. With the libraries available and working, I really think (and hope) that they will work with Linux some day. The format doesn't even need to be published as long as the libs are around. you make QT do all the work of loading movies and playing them. An app just needs to make calls to the library and it just works.
I speak as someone who does some development with QT on the Mac (as well as tyring to get a Linux project going). Here's hoping!
I beta tested the drivers and wrote an article for an upcoming Maximum Linux issue. I have a couple of screenshots of the G400 running xinerama if anyone is interested.
it seems to me that many people who buy CD's are doing so for a single song or at most a few songs. They get the benefit of the other songs too for teh $16-$20 price tag, but really they want the popular songs off of the CD.
The Music industry should set up a method of buying individual songs and you can then download them on the net in MP3 format at a cos of $2 song (average of 8 songs per CD = $16 per CD = $2 per song). This just seems logical to me.
That money goes direct to the artist and kills the middleman (ie: RIAA, MPAA, etc).
Or maybe a method devised such that you can download all the music for free you want, but after a certain time (30 days) the MP3 becomes corrupted and if you want it you need to pay for it and get a pristine copy from the author's web site or some such thing. This is the ultimate in shareware phylosophy. Try before you buy. it's that simple people.
I'm on the beta team for D3-Linux. it's very cool. My name even appears in the credits, but you have to wait a long time to see the linux beta testers list. Also play on PXO. very cool. My copy should be here soon too.
A lot of money. The review states that Photo-paint will be a free download (ala WordPerfect 8) but the full suite (Draw and paint) will be released at a price "comparable to the Windows version."
You make the article sound like this is the first time it's happened anywhere. Look north of you. *Hi!" us Canadians have been duped by this stupidity for 7 years now.
When the GST came in, charging an extra 7% on goods and services, it was supposed to go towards the national dept. The only thing it's done is ruin us more and go to the pockets of our idiot politicians.
Anyway, when I buy something online from a US company, I still get charged the friggen GST even though I didn't buy the item in Canada. Equality? HA! Money grabbing beurocrats? YES!
I don't believe I should have to pay GST (the EU VAT equiv) on items that I don't buy in Canada. Canada saw that all the buying would be across the boarders and overseas so they didn't want to loose their precious money. What BS!
This statement in the article raised the hair on the back of my head. They state, "Since the new drivers use direct hardware access, no need to be root to play games anymore. This is sure handy because it integrates more functions into a standard user, making the unprivileged user much more practical. Combine this with a distribution like Mandrake, and you may never need to logout again to play Quake 3."
Not sure where they get their info from, but I can play Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament without beeing root. I even installed them without being root.
What they are actually implying is if the device driver (in my case/dev/3dfx) has owner and group set to root, yes you must be root. Simple fix is to change the device driver to something like games (which the 3dfx docs tell you to do BTW) and you don't need to be root to play Q3A.
I think they should have done much more research for their article before making clear mistakes like this. Now, XFree86 4.0 makes some things nicer but their statement is completely in left field.
I remember some time ago that id promised another game based on the Q3 engine (or some of the new research carmack had) but WOULD NOT be a first person shooter type game. I for one, would like to see such a beastie come to light. I'm tired of the FPS type games and want to see some better use of the technology.
some examples would be a cool racing game with different tracks (could be car racing, motocross, jeep, doesn't matter), a cool dog fight (as in arial combat) type game (yesthis is technically a FPS but no guts and gore, etc), stuff like that.
At any rate I just hope DOOM III doesn't bump the other promised game into oblivion.
What do you think the iBook's are made out of. In fact all of Apple's new plastics since the B&W G3 are made out of the same bullet-proof material;-) Go Apple!
I'm just wondering, now that AMD is working on a 64-bit chip without having an Intel counterpart to base itself on, how compatible will they both be when they hit the market??
I believe they will be basing it on the Alpha chip-also a 64-bit chip IIRC. I can't wait to see one of these in my Linux box;-)
Yes I agree completely. Actually, this "likeness to Windows" is one of the reasons I refuse to use KDE unless I have to (Corel, Mandrake). I prefer Gnome. Oh, and there was that idiotic license issue with KDE some time back. In my mind, the "solution" was not good enough.

Good coverage at CNN. Last time I looked: Bush 185, Gore 182. It's going to be TIGHT!

You need to use xinerama.

Yes, I commented on that in the rumor article. Kinda makes you go "hmmm." ;-)
the old NeXT cubes. Doesn't anyone else see the simularities here? Things that make you go 'hmmm."
A quick check at CompUSA Onlineshows that full suite price to be $1980.95 and upgrade price is $931.85.
Um, thanks but no thanks. I'll take FREE over $2K price any day.

This sounds a lot like part of the story line for Total Recall. Remember, they can give Mars an Oxygen atmosphere. Interesting if it works though.
