More companies should take an example from Creative and their drivers for dxr2 (regardless of the fact that they didn't write them themselves, they still provide them on their website and provide information on how to use them) As I'm typing this, I'm watching Pink Floyd's The Wall in a window under Linux, and my roommate is watching it on the TV in the other room through the S-Video out. It works perfectly, except for the fact that menus don't work. I just ran across the link to the drivers last night, downloaded a devel kernel, recompiled, and everything worked perfectly. The image looks better than it does under Windows, as well (why, I don't know, but it does noticeably)
The drivers are even open sourced... the only binary needed is an image of something, I forget what. (I was drunk last night when I set this up:-)
If anybody's wondering, the URL is http://opensource.creative.com. The command line program works decently (but you have to know the number of the.VOB file you want to play.... but once you start it, it plays through the whole movie uninterrupted) There's a GNOME player (gdxr2 or something like that) but it sucks - it's extremely buggy. I may write a GNOME DVD player (as soon as I get bored with working on PowerShell... hehehehe shameless plug:-)

Sure, one is 64-bit and the other is 32-bit, but that could change. Transmeta could easily replace Crusoe's functional units with 64-bit versions and the users would never even know.
Nope... the Crusoe is a 128-bit VLIW processor, not 32-bit.
"Software is like sex- the best is for free" -Linus Torvalds
Jesus people, quit bitching about something that you don't know anything about. Transmeta won't open the instruction set for the Crusoe because they want to have the ability to change it from CPU to CPU. That way they don't end up building up tons of obsolete crap (like Intel from the 8086 days) They can start each processor with a fresh design, and the only software that needs to be ported is the Code Morpher thing. It's not an anti-OSS thing like you people are making it out to be. Hell, if they were doing that, Linus probably wouldn't be working for them.
It's for the same reason that they don't give the information needed for random people to write morphers - they would end up with things like "SPARC morpher, only for the XXYYY version of the Crusoe." It makes sense for them to only let people write software for the other CPUs and have it run emulated (especially since there seems to be such a small loss in speed) They want the freedom to design each new chip as they see fit without building up tons of backwards-compatibility crap, the lack of which is exactly what allows the Crusoe to run so cool and use a such a little amount of power (as well as make the chip cost so little to make)
Sorry if this post doesn't make sense or rambles, I haven't slept in 2 days. But I'm sure you can get the main idea.

I know I'll burn in hell for dissing the Almighty Sony...but I'd rather eat a dog turd than buy another one of their monitors. They seem to be specially designed to die precisely 30 seconds after the warranty has expired (as with three of the four Sony's I've owned...and I've heard of similar experiences from others).
Regarding the short lives of Sony monitors, here's what I've discovered (I have a Sony Trinitron, 17", that's busted) These things fail frequently, but 99% of the time the cause of failure is the little thing inside which checks to see if the current in the monitor is too high (at which point the tube would start emitting dangerous amounts of radiation) This part dies and thinks the current level is ALWAYS too high, so it doesn't let the monitor power on. It's a $30 part and easy enough to replace yourself (although that would void the warranty).

No way, dude... MiniDiscs are the shit. I recently bought one (Sharp's most expensive model sold at Best Buy) and it's great... sounds great, looks cool, and you can name tracks, split tracks, and everything else you'd need. It was only $200 (you couldn't get a portable mp3 player for *too* much less than that, and then only one that has 64mb of RAM [which would hold 1/2 the music that a MiniDisc holds if you used a decent bitrate of mp3]) MiniDiscs themselves are only ~2 bucks a pop if you buy a 10-pack (again, at Best Buy.)
You can record with a standard stereo headphone-plug type input or an optical cable from a digital source. I record using a splitter->RCA from my computer to my stereo, then RCA out from my stereo to a converter to a headphone plug and then into my MD player. I get absolutely no noticeable noise with this setup and the sound is perfect (and I have a pretty good ear for this type of thing) It even sounds damn good from an mp3, the compression in the MiniDisc doesn't fuck with mp3's compression too badly.
Sorry to go off on this rant, but I think that everybody who likes portable music should have one of these babies instead of a portable mp3 player, since they seem so much more practical to me (and to switch songs, you don't have to hook it back up to your computer, just pop in another disc)

Ok, I hope this comes up in Meta-Moderation, because this is most definately NOT flamebait, it's completely true... since China (and maybe others, I'm not sure) doesn't usually bother to recognize international copyrights, movie piracy is a HUGE problem there. There are even "legitimate" businesses whose sole purpose is the piracy of VCDs. They get a copy, make a billion copies, and sell them, either on the streets or in stores, and nobody does anything about it.

The Real Thing for The Rest of Us will be In Stores now! That's the big deal. Now if nVIDIA will just release those silly TNT2 drivers....
It doesn't have to do with nVidia, does it? my TNT2 works under Linux, it just doesn't work *well*. I thought this was an issue of just waiting until XFree86 4.0 comes out so the drivers can use DRI.
Although, I can't WAIT until that happens, 1 less reason to boot into NT:-).
Top 10 reasons to boot into NT: 10) To hear that little "click" IE5 makes whenever you click on a link. 9) So I can use buttons 4 & 5 on my Intellimouse Explorer and have a truly "1-hand" porn browsing experience. 8) So I get my money's worth on my stupid expensive ssh-client rather than using the free one under Linux. 7) Streaming porn doesn't work so well under Linux. 6) When I'm getting too much work done and need my OS to hold me back a little bit. 5) To play with 3d studio, play Quake, or watch a DVD. 4) All my porn bookmarks are stored in NT's copy of Netscape and I can't figure out how to export them (where's my bookmarks.html???) 3) Streaming porn still doesn't have sound in Linux. 2) Watch South Park/Simpsons in Real Video with TV-Out. 1) I love streaming porn, don't take away my DSL line, please!!!

Better check your sources before you call somebody a stupid idiot, buddy... true, Microsoft's agreement with SCO prohibits them from directly competing in the UNIX market. However... "GNU's Not Unix"... "Linux is a UNIX-like operating system"... etc, etc...
Linux is not *officially* a version of UNIX, and so therefore Microsoft can sell it if they want to. I think they won't, though, until it's too late - right now the company just doesn't have the mindset to participate in Open Source successfully, and when (and if) they do try, it'll be once they realize they stand no chance against OSS software.

Finally I discovered Xconfigurator (I had been doing all this by hand for 6 years now:-) It had an entry in it's database for my exact monitor (AOC Spectrum 5EA). While it wasn't perfect, it worked... then I used xvidtune to get the settings *just* right.

The GPL allows forking, but it also implicitly prevents it, because any forks must also be released under the GPL. If the new features in the forked version are better than the original, there's nothing preventing the author of the original version from stealing those changes an integrating them back into his version. Meanwhile, he's been doing development, so now he has his changes PLUS the other guy's changes, and he comes out on top.
To answer your other question about being able to create a commercial, closed source version of the authors need to pay the bills: the GPL allows this as well (as does any other license) The original author of the program retains the copyright to the code and can re-release it at any time under any license he wants. What the GPL prevents is OTHER people stealing GPL'ed code and selling it as a commercial, closed source program. (this doesn't, however, prevent other people from selling it as a commercial, Open Source product)
