  1. Re:ugh on Michael Robertson of Lindows Responds · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yep, you are right.

    For more info see Wikipedia:
    Despite frequent claims to the contrary, the only correct English plural of the word for any of these senses is viruses. The Latin word does not appear to have had a plural. Virii would be the plural of the word virius, and viri was the plural of the word vir, meaning man. See [1] for more on this.

    ..by telling him he is an idiot, and he doesn't understand it.

    Or by calling your software X IS _NOT_ Y, and people still call it Y.

    Again, WINE is translating windows system calls to X11 equivalents.

    This solution isn't really a solution, because I need security=user in my LAN.

    > Because it can stream from smb shares on a pc or linux server

    If you think of XBMP while saying that, it isn't entirely true (yet). XBMP can only play from windows smb shares at the moment, but I'm sure linux shares will be supported very soon too.

    If you thought of Linux running on the xbox using mplayer, it is supported playing over NFS/SMB shares running on whatever OS.

    Truth is, as soon as I have my keyboard connected to the xbox, I won't use XBMP anymore, because I just love to use the original - and the terminal.

    BTW, I think it would be really cool, if there would be a X based dashboard, which starts instead of xdm or whatever after booting - and by pressing ALT+F1 you always can login and do things the console-way :)

    If we can release a userfriendly xbox-Linux distribution, booting without modchip, M$ has released a console wich will massivley distract users from their own OS. *grin*

    I do think war will make everything worser, we can't afford to act unthoughtful now. The terrorists (whoever they are) wanted this situation to escalate. If we start a war now, we will possibly fight the wrong people.
