  2. Re:Ximian on Slack on Ximian's Red Carpet Released · · Score: 1

    Slack does have RPM along with updatepkg (installpkg), why not use the RPM feature of Slack? Also, whats wrong with installpkg? Just curious, Jim

  3. Re:ouch on Ximian's Red Carpet Released · · Score: 1

    Same here, the weird thing is that it wants to remove only my games and game libraries. I would understand if in the update list there were newer version of quake2, kingpin, or clanlib. But there isn't. Whats the deal? A feature that should be added is the ability to install with out removal. I can't upgrade to Gnome 1.4 using this tool with out removing the above items and everything else in the list. Jim

    I think XFre86 has thier own license. I don't think the software falls under GPL. I believe its more BSD like. JT

  10. Re:MacCentral had much better coverage. on Jobs Plays It Frank · · Score: 1

    CompUSA here in Memphis are pretty good about selling Macintosh computers. As soon as you walk in the door they have an iMac fully setup and ready to play with. Of course they also have a PC with about 2000 speakers hooked up to it right next to the iMac. Also, they have a big Macintosh section in the back of the store with every mac turned on duing something like Gaming, Demo's, Movies, etc.. Actually, they seem to be pretty good with all of thier products. Thier Video game section has 1 of each system they sell on demo. Thier PC section has the same support. Looks Management here in Memphis has thier act together. Now, as far as knowledgable sales associates, they need more training. Compaired to the other electronic stores in Memphis, they have thier act together. Circuit City is a Dump for PC's and Macs. They are more willing to sell you the e-Machine than they are when it comes to Macintosh PC's or even IBM PC's. And then thier is Best Buy, Shit, you have to prey to GOD to even get a sales person to come up to you and answer anything and thier tech support guys are morons! Only good thing about Best Buy is thier prices on CDR's and they have cheap movie and music selection. Jim

    Sorry, I had to reply to the comment regarding our president. I will probably be marked offtopic. Anyway, in the US we are a nation of STATES. The poeple are represented by thier elected STATE officials. The president is elected by the majority of the STATES, which are designated POINTS, electorial points to be exact. With that siad, the PEOPLE, did elect the PRESIDENT. Read our constition and study our history before you judge our REPUBLIC, not DEMACRACY. Thank you, Jim

  14. Re:Be careful. on Best Supported Video Card For Linux/XFree86? · · Score: 1

    Actually ATI is paying for the development of drivers. They have contracted PI to make the drivers for ATI brand cards. PI is doing the DRI for XFree86. Get the latest version of XF86 and you will have support. The above company that is charging money for there X server (not driver, has other features to)has every right so. They spent money doing development on this server to work with the ATI cards. ATI did not pay them to do this, ATI has no responsabilities for this. Jim

    This proves to the American public that the Democrats are right. We are not responsible for our actions and the decisions we make.

    What I find interesting is that alot of you are for Gore. This is the same Gore family that wanted and successfully put ratings on Music! Remember the 80's when they brought some of our favorite musicians to the senate claiming they were demoralizing our children with there music. I thought ./ers were against cencership, then why do you want this man in office? Just curious, Jim

  20. Re:Can we say: WHAT? on Windows Whistler Screenshots · · Score: 1

    Did MS fix the audio timing issues with NT5 (win2k)? NT4 had bad problems with audio timing due to security and hardware access rights. As far as I know, the best platforms for Cakewalk and soundforge is win9x. As for Linux, I run Linux have been since 97, but I can't seem to find anything close to soundforge or Cakewalk. These are the only apps that are keeping me from deleting windows off my PC. If someone could point me to the right place I would be more than happy to check them out. Be OS has some cool features and I suspect there will be some applications that will eventually allow me to replace Windows. Jim

    I admit, Sand Diego is a beautiful City, but San Diego is not a good example. You whole city is nothing but a big Navy base! You have a bunch of people settling there that just got out of the military. Actually, I have to agree with the original poster. Allot of people do not want to move to California. Companies (DELL, IBM, TOSHIBA, SOLECTRON) are now starting to realize that there are technical talent in the South. They also believe that since we live in the south that we are CHEAP and do not want to pay us what we are worth. I have seen 5 (DELL, IBM, TOSHIBA, SOLECTRON, FUJITSU) companies come to town and all offered less than market value. They realized this, so they hired unskilled people and are training them to do the job. There quality is poor now and they have lost the respect from the tech community. The only company that I know of in my town that is paying the market value is Fujitsu.
