  1. Re:What what? on LinuxAnt's DriverLoader Loads Centrino Drivers · · Score: 1

    The drivers are written for the x86 platform. All driverloader does is just execute the driver code transparently, sort of like wine. Therefore, it won't run on a non-x86 archetecture. So if your router has an x86 processor, then you can use driverloader. If it has anything else, forget it.

    I worked at a radio station for a year. There were no FCC restrictions on how we created, played, and published our playlists. They were available in the music journals, online, and we would send them by snail mail if you requested.

  8. Re:well on 'Black Box' Readings Help Convict Montreal Driver · · Score: 1

    I'd like to station a police officer in your home, to assist lawmakers with making better laws by seeing what laws you break. They're not there to prosecute you for what you do, but if they happen to see you do something wrong, that's too bad.

    3. Putting event recorders in cars is no different than putting policemen on every street corner, which is perfectly legal now.

    No. Putting event recorders in cars is like having a policeman sit in your auto's passenger seat, watching what your feet do, as well as recording your speed.

    Dear Mr. I don't know how to read:
    I was merely pointing out the contradiction in the parent's statement.

    Let me highlight the contradictory statements:
    Sure, there's lots of goodies in Darwin that aren't in Linux. The most significant is Darwin Streaming Server, a/k/a QuickTime Streaming Server, which Apple has generously given back to the Open Source community. It's been ported to RedHat and other platforms since the first release of the source.

    I basically said the following:
    Ok, so there's this proprietary format streaming server that can also stream mp3's. But it's available for Red Hat Linux.

    So, I ask you, how can something which is available for Red Hat Linux be considered not "in Linux"? Surely, the parent didn't mean only in the kernel.

    Damnit, and here I was thinking he was wrong....

    [from the jargon file]

    vaporware /vay'pr-weir/ Products announced far in advance of
    any release (which may or may not actually take place). The
    term came from Atari users and was later applied by
    Infoworld to Microsoft's continuous lying about Microsoft
    Windows.

  12. Re:Heh Heeeh heheehhheehee on Darwin 7.0 Released · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    ... so you're saying that the "lots of goodies in Darwin that aren't in Linux" consist of one crappy proprietary turned open streaming media server which really is useful only if you've got their proprietary media player or mplayer for linux...which was ported to Red Hat.....

    Right.

    Why should anyone care?

    Totally. Who could care less about being able to stick one of these drives into just about any current computer today. Mac, PC, whatever. Also, I could do without the ease of configuring IDE drives. Master, slave, it's all racist anyhow! I also hate that I can go to just about any computer store and get an IDE drive. IDE is so unattractive.
