You know, Doc had no troubles picking humans from the train (by breaking windows, perhaps doors? I cant remember, as I was telling the kid behind me to STFU and LTFM (listen the fine movie)).
And then Spiderman stops the train by holding in its both hands lots of spider "ropes". I noticed that Spiderman was a bit crushed (poor english, sorry) into the front of the train. In real life, I really doubt that the first few wagons wouldnt be completly screwed, considering the speed of the train and the amount of pressure Spidey gave. Oh, and how come that passengers didnt fall off their chairs/spots?
Bittorrent seems to pick random pieces, which is impossible to use in a live streaming environment. You have to get the bits in the order like it was written in the original file.
Using FireFox 0.8 on Fedora Core 2, middle-clicking on the tab bar will load the url in the current (active) tab, ctrl+middle click will open in a new tab.
If you were correcting me, i was talking about XBox 1, not 2. My point was "why is it (xbox2) going to emulate a PC, its old brother (current xbox) is already a PC anyway!"
Though it sucks to hear that (PowerPC chip). Now lets hope that someone will writeup some kind of PearPC for the xbox2 architecture:) (Yeah, I know, no need to emulate powerPC, but Id like to see OSX loaded on xbox2:)
Also, isnt it going to be a pain (compatbility-wise) to be PC- and XBox-compatible *AND* changing architecture?
I heard MP3 support was removed as well, but I don't know for sure because I use Ogg.
You're right
I dont know for how long MP3 support was removed, but the default XMMS binary coming with Fedora has a fake MP3 input plugin displaying a message box saying """
MP3 support disabled due to license problems from Fraunhofer/Thompson Multimedia
-Fedora Core Team
""" when trying to read a MP3 file. The simple workaround I found is to download a binary package on the XMMS website, it includes a "real" MP3 library.
I've heard about Linspire (Lindows) and (IMHO)think that there more "we want to make big money."
You're right.
I got a copy of Linspire via Bittorrent. The funny thing about it: the tracker (bittorrent 'server') was linspire.com itself! They not seem to advertise it on the website, but I got the link via suprnova.
The first thing I noticed is: there was NO development tools AT ALL in the distribution. In other words, you couldn't download some program's source and compile it. That was intentional: they wanted users to use Linspire's "click-n-run".
I think this distribution is more centered about this click-n-run service (which is not free in beer) than anything else. The only thing I found interesting is the functionning Wine app already installed.
How come Anaconda takes charge of partition handling? I mean, I dont get why C/H/S should be of any importance for Anaconda - why dont it just copy the files (the actual install process), then calls another program (grub? lilo?) to write the actual data (CHS) in the table?
Like I said, I didn't encountered the bug; i managed my partitions in Ranish partition manager before booting on installation.
The only thing I fear is to not have enough flexibility on remote control products offered here and there. Example: Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum's remote control. Creative's software was REALLY limited for using that remote control; I had to rely on a third-party program to have enough flexibility. For example, when using Creative software I couldnt use the numeric keys (0-9) on the RC except in Creative's media player. There was other limitations too, but i forgot.
My point is: make sure you check for some alternative software in case the one coming with your brand new remote control lacks in flexibility.
In my province (Quebec, Canada), the law says that a person may be forced to see a doctor if (s)he's dangerous (may hurt - kill) against other people or herself.
It doesnt matter is that person doesnt clean up his/her room. Doesnt matter is [s]he says anything that doesnt make sense at all. But once you're aware that person is hurting herself, seek a local lawyer if any laws like this one may force that person to see a doc.
Example, a schizo. person said to me "i was fixing those x-mas decorations on the top of the tree then **someone** came and pushed me and I fell on the ground"
other examples, from what I saw from a schizo person:
- Cutting power cables from radios. Seems simple, but what if the cables were still plugged?? - Cracks in the glass. One time i visited that person and I noticed there was a new crack in the glass of the window. Maybe she did it with her fist, maybe not. - Food: seems that alot of schizo person thinks that some food is poisonous, then remove that food from what [s]he can eat. If kept not medicated, that person will have real troubles eating.
Thats the first time I read something from an AC which is intelligent, respectful (is that a word?) and neutral. Great comment.
Altho I disagree with your point. Schizophrenia can be developped on people with families not having any relations with that ill (aka hereditary), and has more chances developping on people locking themselves at home with no social life. Just like some geeks may do. So i see that "Ask slashdot" question as well-placed.
You cannot help her if she will not first help herself.
Now repeat after me: You cannot help her if she will not first help herself.
My mom has it, and while she wasnt under medication, she was afraid of anything related with hospitals, no matter what. More than once I suggested her to get some help (when she didn't knew about that illness), but always refused to get to hospitals or to see any docs.
Another point, if she says something thats wrong, do NOT say she's wrong. Saying she's wrong is like saying to an alcoholic that he's alcoholic. The best you can do in this case is to ackownledge (sp?) what she said and to not pay attention to that nonsense.
I just wanted to point out that I also use AEI, and I had a lil' problem activating my DSL line.
Looks like they have to send the postal address (complete, w/ appartment number) to Bell when some user wants to get a DSL account. What happened in my case: I said to the sales/tech person that my address was "*** rue Beloeil". Bell refused that address, tried again, had to wait 48 to 76 hrs, refused... after some research it looks like there was a "de" missing in the adress, so it was "*** rue DE Beloeil". I dont know if you understand french or not, but "de" in an address should'nt mean too much. Thats the dumbest error I had yet.
Also, just for your information I had ~630kbps upstream with a DSLREPORTS speed test, using a standard (non-ultra) DSL account.
And for the 40gb warning, i can't confirm because i never transfer that much (and what this limit is for? download only? both?), but I gotta agree AEI or whatever ISP would start loosing money when tranfering that much.

I prefer Wristomo, even if the watch itself seems bigger. I would hate to have some wire connected on the watch

XBox is already already "pc compatible". The only thing different is the boot process.

But unfortunately i wanted to see this on FireFox / Firebird. Yes, I can browse and download but not upload with Firefox AFAIK.
Too bad, im still stuck with nautilus (having passwords displayed in Nautilus address bar sucks)

Grub has that bug, not Fedora. Well ok - looks like only Fedora has this bug, but its GRUB's fault and not Fedora.
Anyways, it worked fine with me (altho it was: / in hdb5 and winXP in hda3).

Jeez, now that I got rid of Windows and switched to Linux, you have to show me a (FREE) app I was looking for. Damn you, Slashdot.
Joking aside, is there any similar applications for Linux? Excluding xine's OSD interface (oxine)
Maybe some people dont want a pre-installed windows when buying a PC, because they already have a license?
But "Nooooooooooo!", lets use the one already installed, just in case there is no spyware and other bloat stuff.
and offers unrivaled compatibility with Microsoft Windows' or so says their website.
If their website (which is down at the moment) is as stable as their products, then it should be an accurate Windows clone, right?
No thank you sir, one unstable OS is more than enough.
Do they USE the copies bought?
Gates was fined, not the company itself. It looks like Gates is closely watched, isnt it ?
