In Sweden, the difference between cars and motorcycles regarding the chances of personal injury per vehicle in traffic is neglible.
Could that have to do with the fact that in Sweden, you may only go 120 (or 110?) km/h even on the highways, and that there are virtually no cars (or anything at all) on the roads, except probably in Stockholm?
Can you elaborate on that?
I'm curious, really. Why do you think it is bad practice to keep using proven tools? Don't tell me it's because you seriously need hardware detection of your gpu!
Congratulations, your analogy is completely wrong. Thunderbird's method is akin to requiring a separate postal mailbox for each unique postal adress you receive mail to, isn't it?
Yup you're soo right.
Why don't these people think? I'd never get one of these domains for sure. Imagine you're telling someone over the phone to "go to my website, at www.[somethingfrench].fr", only to discover that he/she is using an american keyboard layout... Hope that was no business partner...
That thing would not be any harder to see than a regular motorcycle. But that won't be a problem. Just always keep in mind that they don't see you and, when it's a bright day, use the high beam. Helps me through rush hour every day.
What you're saying sounds somehow funny to me, as I could spell (and distinguish) the words except, accept and article around the age of 10. Must've been in the first half year of english class.
The mga_vid module is a part of mplayer. It is not AFAIK in any of the precompiled packages, but it is in the sources (search the docs, it's in there).
It seems like you've forgotten to insmod mga_vid?
My experience with my G400 is the following under linux: Install XFree86, choose 'mga' driver, start quake. I've not had any troubles, plus I didn't have to download and compile drivers that only work with a specific kernel version for some reason.
Yes, Matrox have been there for a long time now. I always bought their cards, they were simply superior. Always a little behind in terms of performance, though. The last one of their cards that I bought was a G400. Why? All of the newer cards don't have linux/X11 support, none planned. It's a shame, because their G400 drivers were very good, and there is no other graphics hardware with good linux drivers. I think I can say that because my new card is an NVidia. Oh my god I am ranting again.
What is you problem with cut and paste? Works for me with gnome apps, xterms, emacs (haven't tried kde apps, I don't use any). Text mode editors should not be a problem either, because they get their input from the xterm, which works fine. I wonder what is so hard about something as simple as selecting text, and "click"?
Everyone keeps saying that you don't have to use scsi emulation to burn cds with 2.6. How is this supposed to work; cdrecord always looks for them on the scsi bus or uses the generic device, and I have not found the generic device for ide. What am I doing wrong? Or do I need to upgrade cdrecord?
You're soo right.
People always say that Debian needs a graphical installer, but they never give any real reason. Is there such a huge difference between selecting my root partition with keyboard and using the mouse for that? The only thing this will add to the installer is unsupported hardware.
Also, I don't really know why I'd have to plug a mouse into my server just for the installation. I could switch to Windows or SuSE if I wanted that...
You think that your kids are in the right age for email (= the internet), but they still don't know about sex? I'm probably never going to understand you americans.
You don't need to replace your keyboard when there are fluids inside...
One day a friend of mine called me, like, "my keys have gone all nuts", and when I got there to inspect the keyboard, I turned it around, and as I suspected, drops of sambuca fell on my hand. I disassembled the keyboard, cleaned it with water, and after half a day, it magically worked again.
Have you heard of modprobe? In most modern distros, next to everything is included or installable as a module. So just say 'modprobe driverx' instead of recompiling the kernel if you don't know how.
What about this "Interface doesn't change when the major version number doesn't change" thingie?
All we'd need is a new version numbering scheme, probably starting with Linux 3.0. Still, major and minor number mean the same. But when you download 'linux3.0-i386-main_1.1.tar.bz2' and 'linux3.0-sound_0.3.tar.bz2' you can be sure they work together. Developers should only make changes to the APIs when the x in 'linux3.x' changes. I don't see the problem in that, and the development version would be available in the old style 'linux3.1.77.tar.bz2' format.

It is possible. Many motorcycles have LEDs to show which gear your'e in.
I bet you have learned now what the 'Preview'-button is for?

Or is that kernel code you're posting? :P
I sure hope he's paid the royalties to SCO, then.
I am not against globalization. That's why I want everyone to speak english, especially on the web.
I don't really see what your'e trying to tell us.
Yup you're soo right.

What about the head lights? As the vehicle isn't always in a "vertical" position, you're gonna get a lot of people pissed when it's dark outside.

The other solution would be to use galeon, which does only copy URL's with C-c for exactly this reason.
Yep. And in the rare cases where this does not work, copy with C-c, paste with C-v.
GO!
Yes. At 100 mph. So fast. On the autobahn. Oh well.
Try it. Really. At that speed, you're going to annoy a lot of people.

You do realize that it was tested against the development branch of the linux kernel, do you?
