Thank god! 3D Studio has one of the nastiest user interfaces I've ever seen in a 3D program.
Give me Lightwave anyday.:)
On-topic, I've played with Blender, and it seems quite cool. I have yet to try anything big in it though. Does anyone know if there are any large projects that have been done with Blender? I'd be interested in seeing some info...
Funny thing is, I used to have an IBM CrAptiva a couple of years ago which used a recovery CD like this.
The "protection" was password-protected zip files. The setup program you run unzips them.
Opening the setup EXE in DOS edit allowed me to see what password they were using and unzip them myself, so that I could use it later.
Not only that, but running the setup myself kept it from installing all of the extra crap on the desktop that IBM snuck in there, as well as all the "family" programs I could care less about.
Let's hope the copy protection doesn't improve, and then it'll all be OK.:)
Not only that, but IE5 on macintosh is one of the best-conforming browsers on the market right now.
I like how in this article they point out that very little code is shared between the mac and windows teams. That much is obvious, since IE5 on windows conforms so poorly, yet the mac one is just fine. Perhapse Microsoft doesn't need a lesson from us, they need a lesson from some of their own people.;)
I've been trying to get at the online version for 3 days now, and the only link that wasn't broken was the CVS access to it. I have actually been compiling tetex just so I could look at the damn thing, and then suddenly when it's mentioned on Slashdot, the links are back in working order.
I don't really like having many different versions of libraries (Qt 1.4, 1.41, 2.0, 2.1-beta, 2.1-thursday, etc.) on my machine, plus, RPM makes this quite difficult even if I wanted to.
Well that's your choice, but that doesn't mean the system is broken. You can have multiple versions of libraries on your system for the very reason you mentioned, so you don't break old apps.
RPM lets you have multiple versions of libraries on your system, although it does not allow multiple *devel* RPMS for the most part. If you want to upgrade, just rpm -e the old devel headers and the apps that are being upgraded (leaving the libraries that old apps you're keeping depend on), and then rpm --install <new libraries> [that's install, not -U or --upgrade] and all should be fine.
:wq!

Yeah, but by that point I upgraded quite a bit, so I never bothered fixing the old mobo.:)

Be very very careful. I tried this and messed up my system. And since I have no ROM burner, I was forced (yes, forced!) to upgrade to a new motherboard.;)

As I understand it, when you sample something, there are a certain number of words, or a certain number of notes, or a certain number of seconds at which point it must be "cleared" by the artist. I can't recall off the top of my head how far you have to go before it's considered a derivative work, but there *is* a point where you do legally have to consult the original artist.
There are certain hardware "assists" that they put into the different model chips to help the code morphing stuff optimize a certain OS. It will still run other x86 OSes, just not as well.
Read the "history" article on the Crusoe that was posted here a couple of weeks ago. It explains it.
This is the perfect way to split things up, because Windows Millenium and Windows 2000 are operating systems, and Internet Explorer, Office, and Microsoft Network are... DAMN! What about services? Oh, and hardware?

Forget where I heard it.
It's off Come To Daddy, by the way.
Love the cover.

Gaaaah!

Well then my friend's A&R guy (at Astralwerks) lied to him. Probably wouldn't be the first time...
First, there's POE which is almost an operating system in and of itself.
And then there's PerlOS here.
Be afraid, be very afraid.
I hurt myself while running around the room. Does that mean I can sue you?
I'm the exact same way, and I have to agree with you, the Mandrake 7.1 install is *very* sweet.

Not to mention it'd be rated X. :)

Um. Never mind.
