...with commands you don't understand. Applications that want RT priority are incompatible with this shell scripting, so if you are doing anything RT you'll have to launch them with an alternate bash rc file that doesn't try to group the process
This is a bizarre story, seeing as I've had a 4 gig SD card plugged into my OLPC for more than a year. It's been there the whole time, and there was even an inaccurate rumor that the slot was added just for microsoft. In fact it turned out to cost next to nothing to add the connector.
In my experience, 24fps played at 60fps looks much much better than 30i. The cadence is the same (3:2), it's just that it's for entire frames instead of individual fields. I hate working on shows in 1080i, it's much uglier than 720p no matter what the material.
except for the bug we found, where if you leave Word in Office X open for 6 hours or more its internal state becomes corrupted and you can't save or print the document. So you have to kill the program and start from where it last saved correctly.
I would switch if there was a console that had REAL keyboard and mouse input. There's a hack for xbox, but it's only a hack. I can't live without my mouse and keyboard!
The idea that I'd send text messages every time I entered a new area is silly. Symbian phones can lookup what Cell ID they are connected to and use that for rudimentary positioning. It'd be cooler to have a program that would ping a server whenever I entered a new cell zone, and alert me if my friends are connected to the same cell.
this seems to happen a lot. The only thing to be done is get the word out that certain RBLs are unaccountable, and hope that other ISPs stop using them.
I remember when BeOS looked really revolutionary and awesome, but looking at those screenshots it is really showing its age. It just doesn't look like it could keep up with modern desktops (osx, gnome 2.10, longhorn).
It would be nice to have some annotations by someone familiar with all three operating systems. It seems this author has not used a linux computer with a recent distribution. The whinging about kernel startup messages has been out of date since redhat included graphical bootup (after 5 lines of text you quickly launch into a familiar progress bar).
The discussion of man files and text configuration files also seems quaint. man files are only for command line programs, whereas modern applications have help documentation programs you'd expect. And text configuration files exist, but given systems like gconf and gnome system tools, interaction with the actual text is minimal. But, if something goes wrong, you can look at the text (as you can on osx).
Bringing the essay up to date is a nice idea, but the osx zealot who wrote this needs to boot an unbuntu livecd and catch up on what the OSS community is up to.
what a whiny baby. I got a dell laptop and saw the same screen. I rebooted, went into bios, made it boot from cd, put in the redhat cd, and installed.
Ok, so he says windows started booting. OH NO, IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD.
Just restart and try again. There's no reason to make such a big deal. Once you wipe the disk it's not like microsoft is going to come after you in the night.
aaaaaaahahahahah. Right, let me call up alan cox, as I am a close friend of his. Sorry, my job is limited to bringing issues to the attention of those who might be in a position to fix it.
The airo driver (for cisco wireless cards) still causes kernel panics. Hopefully this card will become usable at some point. For now it's a process of:
1. compile 2.6-testX 2. reboot 3. crash within 5 minutes 4. reboot, notice dataloss 5. restore affected files from backup.
This is the third test, and the third time through!

I've noticed nextel's service has gotten much more popular recently, and not among the target audience of construction workers and business-types. Everywhere I go people are carrying around their phones like star trek communicators, using this feature.
"Hey how you doing?" -- BEEDEEP! "Not bad" -- BEEDEEP! "Are you going to the mall later?" -- BEEDEEP! "Nah I don't think so" -- BEEDEEP!
As if cell phones weren't bad enough for making people talk very loudly into their phones, nextel has somehow managed to make cell phones more rude by subjecting everyone to both sides of the converstation and adding a loud beeping after every communication!
This feature should die, quickly. It's an ok idea for construction workers, but it just adds to the noise of life for everyone else.
oh look, it's another american troll who thinks that mobile phones should only be allowed to make phone calls.
I want a device that is my phone, my portable music player, my quick-shot camera, and my palm pilot. That doesn't sound like too much to ask of one device, especially with so much shared resources (dsp, memory, screen).
What a bunch of morons you people are. MSN put in those 30 pixel "errors" to work around a bug in opera version 6. Version 7 doesn't contain the bug, and MS hasn't yet added special detection for opera six versus seven. This isn't "targetting" or trying to break a page for opera, they were doing the best they could to work around its bugs
currently if you try to install vendor drivers on windows, the OS tells you things like "are you sure you want to use these untested third-party drivers, which will no doubt ruin your computer because you're a bad boy for not using windows." Can you assure us that linux, bsd, and all other "alternative" operating systems will be treated as _equals_ of microsoft products? Can you assure us that there will be no preferential treatment for any os, and that there won't be any "are you really sure?" messages?
it's not a technology issue, just wait until some moron tries to tell you that, in fact, CDMA is technically superior blah blah blah. I have gsm in the states, and the coverage is far worse than CDMA coverage. it's just a matter of antenna density and such, from what I understand
I've watched a couple of your games I think.:) If you could provide specific urls, it would help a lot. The files as posted aren't easy to browse. again, thanks
Of the men and the boys -- the boys being those whoe die 10 every game, and the men being "I ascended with my eyes closed yesterday cause I was bored" -- I am a lowly baby. The site has playback software, but frankly it's an ugly hack. I can't tell where one game starts and another game ends. It seems I click on one, and it's someone who's already at level 25 going up against ridiculous foes. I click on another, and it's a guy who gets unlucky and dies on level 3. I just want to see ONE complete game. I want to see someone make that transition from the mines to the quests. That's what I can't do, and I can't find a recording of anyone making this leap anywwhere
To be delivered by this year? IE, done in three months? This seems a tad ambitious. The article doesn't specify the deadline, so where does that come from?

Has anyone noticed how much nerolinux looks like gtoaster?

sounds like someone did their research before putting up this service.
