Remember, the GPL only requires you to give source to people you give binaries to. If Secure Computing only gives binaries to the NSA, there is no reason they need to give source to Linus. ---
First the "yes". I found that page already, but thanks for pointing it out anyway. Trouble is, they are only at version 0.0.7 and the page isn't very clear on what that means.
As for the "but". Sure, the best supported cards are the BT848/878-based ones. But I can't find any cards based on this chipset that have video in AND out (WinTV-D is apparently out only...). Know of any? ---
Now, can someone answer this question: Is the G200-TV supported for video capture/output? Under Video4Linux or elsewhere? If so, this is the card for me (I don't need high-performance, I just need s-video in AND out under Linux).
When I buy it, I intend to mention that their support of Linux is the reason I chose them. Be sure you do the same. ---
But they DID do something risky: They founded and funded PARC. It is difficult for business people to understand that basic research earns money in the long-term. Xerox understood it. But then failed to capitalize on it. That makes them ESPECIALLY boneheaded. ---
Let me guess this straight. Xerox management is smart enough to know that basic research eventually generates revenue, so they create PARC. But they are stupid enough to ignore:
1) The GUI 2) Electronic paper 3) Handwriting recognition
What else have they missed? And just who are these idiots who keep saying "Forget computers, the future of technology is putting toner on paper!" ---
Get a big hard drive and copy all the libraries the game needs over to it. Copy a kernel, too. Then if you want to play a game that doesn't work on the "new fangled" stuff, boot that saved kernel and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the saved libraries.
If you were talking about Win95, though, you'd have a problem... ---
That depends on what you mean by "good". If you mean a large breadth of support, then yes, Windows has good support.
But if you mean a large depth of support, as in "Yeah, I got that new SDG 123 card and slapped it in this weekend", then Windows sucks. When I used to run Windows I would never let any hardware less than 6 months old touch it (and I preferred to wait 12 months). Why? Because installing new hardware is guaranteed to toast Win95.
But still, "better than Linux", right? Yes. For now. But as more hardware vendors jump on the Linux bandwagon with open specs/drivers we'll see Linux boxes make the phrase "bleeding edge" a thing of the past. ---
Yes, this card (and the G400) looked good. But the only link I could find to info on Linux drivers lead me to a page that implied they didn't yet work. ---
I dunno about pant sizes (since my jeans were so old their actual size bore little relation to the number printed on the label), but I AM on my third belt.
I used to wear a belt only with my work clothes. After I had to tighten that about three notches I had to also start wearing a belt with my jeans. A couple (hand-punched) notches later I switched to a new belt. I worked all the way down that one and into some more hand-punched holes. I'm about halfway down my third belt now.
Once I saw how easy it was to lose the weight I stopped being as strict as advocated on the site. The bit thing for me was the charting. If I can get the feedback I do the work. Unfortunately I've moved and my scale is still in storage. So I haven't charted for over 2 months. I haven't had to loosen my belt yet, but I may have to soon....
I also highly recommend the exercise program. I figured it would be lame, but after I started I loved it. The only reason I'm not doing it now is that until we find an apartment we're living with someone else--and I don't want to exercise in front of everyone. ---
I started using this diet the day after/. posted it. I lost about 40 pounds in 2.5 months. 15 of those pound were in the first 3 weeks. After that I started slacking off....
In fact, I started writing my own spreadsheet for the Palm just so I could chart my diet progress on it. Now maybe I won't have to.... ---
Slashdot Mirror
Obviously I worded my comment wrong. I also didn't make the smiley large enough.
I was trying to say: "If you are working on a problem and Brainiac says 'That's a hard problem', that doesn't bode well for your future."

Something you don't want a Nobel-prize-winning physicist to say: "Oh gosh, that's a hard question."

On the one hand, this law would suck.
On the other hand, maybe such a bad law would mean people would use software with a GPL (or even BSD) license.
On the third hand, software quality isn't having that effect right now, so why should that change in the future?

Katz and Hollywood were meant for each other. Both represent the cream of the pseudo-intellectual crop.
"And Hemos and I get cameos!"
This explains why Katz is still around, I guess.

We don't want to look like a bunch of elves! They have a worse reputation than hackers.

This explains a lot. I guess I better keep looking for a fully supported card OR get the G200-TV and learn how to create Linux drivers...

Mozilla doesn't require AOL's support to become a reality. It requires developers.
Stop crying in your beer and start coding (or documenting, or testing, or ANYTHING).

Why would Linux/UNIX people want to use a grahical IDE? Isn't the *nix philosophy: "Many small tools that do one thing well"?

Are you sure it was the AiW? No mention on ATI's website....

Specifically which card? There is no mention of output of ANY KIND at hauppage's website and email to sales@hauppage.com bounces.

I'm so lost it's not even funny.
I have a very simple need:
1) Load software from camcorder
2) Edit (resequence)
3) Record back onto tape
Coincidentally I found this software (again) on the morning of it's release. I was ecstatic.
Then I looked around to figure out what card to buy. Clearly it needs TV in AND TV out.
Well, I can't find a SINGLE FREAKING CARD ANYWHERE that:
1) Support TV out
2) under Linux
3) today
Does ANYONE know of ANY CARD that meets these conditions?
