Maybe not but they do have "The Wurzels" best of. And as it's almost a pound a track, to buy the album costs around 22 gbp! That's a bargain if ever I saw one.

Re:Is this really news?

On: Direct3D on Linux?

Yeah the demo works but not the full version. This was done by Transgaming too. I seem to remember something about lots of mutexes in the code, causing it to run slowly in Wine. j

GPL Hardware

On: 3D Printers

What becomes important with this tech is the blueprints to make the stuff. Of course there will be propriety blueprints but think of the advantages that an open-source blueprint will bring.

This could revolutionise the physical world as much as it has in software.

Re:A Question

On: Loki may port Starcraft and Diablo II

PC World has some Linux games but I can't remember if they have any Loki stuff. They don't put them with Windows games, but next to their copies of Linux.

However The Linux Emporium has lots of Loki games mail order.

Enjoy

On: Tux Dolls?

LinuxIt has a six inch stuffed TUX for sale. Also when I was in Cupertino last year, Fry's had several different Tuxs. Where can I get a stuffed Mozilla?

Re:I have been disappointed so far

On: Mandrake 6.1 NOT Out (Update)

I had a problem where hdparam (hdparm?? can't remember) was set on hard disk that didn't support the flags that were being set. Took me ages to work out that I was getting filesystem corruption and THEN to work out the problem.

I still have a problem where the system just freezes when I'm in KDE or Gnome.

grrr....
