I have been running MythTV for about a year now. Very stable! and runs on low power Hardware. It can be Networek (as many display PCs as you want). My wife has used it ever since, and has no gripes about it.
but as usual, its a mather of taste. If you want to try it, use knoppmyth, a live-distribution build for mythtv.
maybe I did not get your question. I was just wondering if the beta of IE7 was able work with WINE. I don`t intend to use it, but as a benchmark of WinVista programs running on Linux?
I am no MythTV programmer, but have played with the XML based menu system... Reorganize everything to macht your needs. It realy is that simple! My wife loves MythTV and she is not the type who knows what PVR stands for.
And you only buy ONE copy... after that distribute it in your comany x1.000.000! Share it over apt-get or ftp or nfs etc... that will do the job of amortizing the one time investment in a nice thick manual that comes with SuSE 9.3
I hate idiots, too! Well for starters, how _do_ you know that I don't know what I am talking about? Seems like you lost your sense of humor somewhere. Check out sarcasm, that might help you out.
Has a huge screen, a fast 3D card, gigs and gigs of HD, cheap RAM, a DVD drive and burner, wireless, expansion slots, ethernet, 4x USB, 5.1 sound and runs the latest games! Well it does not fit in my pocket, but at least I don`t have to encode my audio in WMA (I feel dirty thinking that I could).
I just don't get how iPaqs are so revolutionary...;-)
Well I don't download any music anymore, as I am still stuck in my Guns N Roses fan times (have all CDs in my car), but my wife has changed her habit a bit since napster came out. The only difference is that she uses amazon to check out what others have bought, uses the preview function to check out if she likes it and then downloads it.
I can also confirm that we have since bought a number of CDs that we would have never known of (mostly imports from Brazil).
And wasn't it the same Bill G. that said that OS/2 is the "platform for the 90s"?

The same guy that did not notice the Internet... but then again he has billions worth of stock in that company. I would say anything to protect my wealth!

1. Drag and Drop files from Konqueror to Konsole. It offers me a dropdown to just add the files to the command line (as your OS X) and additionaly asks me if I would like to copy/move the files to the directory I am in the Konsole
2. iPhoto Slideshow... well its called kquickshow, or any of the other 5 to 10 options I can use for KDE to show slideshows. Run a playlist in the backgroud. You must be kidding me! That is not integration that is just easy. ripping;-) well only if you have the original CD of course.
3. Any KDE application can print PDFs. KDE even provides an application to allow non KDE applications to do this. This could be done years ago.
4. KMail does exactly as you said, drag and drop a file on the icon and a new email gets opened with the file attached.
5. Screensavers that do just that are available for X (the Unix kind). Maybe not integrated with iTunes;-)
6. Addressbook is separate in KDE too, and as in OS X allows any application to add its content (its called kpart).
But then of course OS X has to look and feel better and more integrated, there is a billion dollar company behind it. Apple would be bankrupt if that wheren't so (ohh they once neary where). KDE is backed by non-profit fools (pun intendet). The question at had is, for each dollar invested, which system does the task the best?
I will keep my old AMD 800 MHz Linux box for the time beeing and invest the 3000 extra Euros in my retirement fund.
Pretty easy, Sun bought StarDivision a German company a few years back. That company had an Office like Suite called StarOffice, at that time in version 6.1
A few months after buying StarDivision, Sun opensources the commercial application under the brand OpenOffice.org (notice the.org) and keeps a supported, shrinkwraped version with the same sourcebase as StarOffice. The two applications start in Sun's world as StarOffice 7 and OpenOffice.org 1.0 respectively.
Now it is logical that the StarOffice versioning keeps keeping pace with OpenOffice, as it is basicaly the same application minus templates and support. From a marketing point of view keeping two brands makes sense.
There is much more history to StarDivision than this, but that is another story.
just type about:config
then change the value in app.extensions.version to 0.10 and most extensions will continue to work 100%... if it does not... well change it back to 1.0
Did everyone forget Flightgear (http://www.flightgear.org/)?
From the Homepage:FlightGear is an open-source project. This means as long as you abide by the terms of the GPL license you may freely download and copy FlightGear. Anyway can have easy and open access to the latest development source code. Being an open-source project, we have made our file formats open and easily accessible. We support standard 3d model formats and much of the simulator configuration is controlled through xml based ascii files. Writing 3rd party extensions for FlightGear (or even directly modifying the FlightGear source code) is straightforward and doesn't require a large amount of reverse engineering. This makes FlightGear an attractive option for use in private, commercial, research, or hobby projects.
FlightGear is known to run on Windows, Linux, Mac OS-X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and IRIX platforms allowing the user run on their platform of preference.
Isn`t buying a CD the same as buying a license. I sure understand that there is a medium I also bought, but does breaking the medium mean I have lost my right to the license?
Hi, I work for a company that does (technical) Facility Management for a lot of huge companies. We have our own system that allows us to attach any kind of analog signal (incl thermostat) to an internet enabled network. Or proprietary system is about 7 years old, but we also use of the shelf systems from: - Siemens (http://www.sgm.siemens.de/) - ABB (http://www.abb.de) and many big names more
but the newest thing, I personaly like is this device from ICONAG: http://www.iconag.com/
can connect even an usb camera and has an own IP...
Without wanting to insult anyone, but the examples where cases of Political vs. Ethical vs. Geographical correctness. These "errors" will happen everywhere. Not even OpenSource can overcome them easyly. Take Wikipedia for an example. I am not sure if all content there would please the countries mentioned in the article... Now, the Word 2000 I am forced to use at work (german version) asks me if I want to correct "Investvorhaben" to "Inzestvorhaben", literaly meaning changing "Investment" to "Insest"... good that I take it as a unintentional joke.
Its just that a lot of people bitch about KDE not being as good as the Windows GUI, and I think that Konqueror is the prime tool of KDE that differentiates it. I don't think that Konqueror is the best browser, but neither is IE. But both are integrated, so they make sense for 90% of work.
Konqueror for 90% of the work Firefoxzilla for 9%, and less than 1% with IE 6.0 using Wine.
Konqueror because it is best integrated... Firefox because I use it on Windows at Work and I sinc my bookmarks via extension, and IE because I am forced by some job recrutement sites that don`t work on anything else.

add to your last list: MythTV (openPVR of any kind) to skip TV + recycle bin for your snailjunkmail + Zoning rules to keep ads away from cities

Has anyone tried to run IE 7 with WINE on Linux?

Well I want a full featured database and would like to have the source. That makes it "people - 1".
I must agree! ATI Mach64 has been neglected way to long...

So what if instead of some software one uses a USB based hardwarekey. If I don`t own a valid USB Key the game does not run... IANADeveloper...
How long until my employer starts adding this stuff to my coffee?
