I may be a young pup, but damnit, has anyone actually gotten this to insmod this driver. I only ask due to the fact that my old company, (God Bless you New Economy), was always spouting off, "and our new drivers...", which I was usually in the back ground doing a "No, No, NO!!!" and living the IBM new marketing plan(you know, "We can do it three months"). Talking with tech support is fine, but if noone has used it yet, I'll stick to my good old USR33.6, and you can tell me how to write non-runon sentances!!!
333 K6-2 evergreen upgrade processer,
8MB ATI All-in-Wonder Pro,
Creative DXR3 DVD Decoder,
USR 33.6 modem w/ voice,
Creative 64 Gold value,
2 hard drives,
1 CDRW,
1 DVD,
I have been using the comp. for 5+ months and must say it works great. Only problem is due to the fact that most of my episode files(I did see the show when it was brodcasted, and did tape on VHS when it did) are a mixture of Divx, MPG, Quicktime, and ASF. To play two out of the three I need to have Windows installed.
I love my DVD drive and Decoder and recomend it to everyone I know. The only problem is due to fact that only one person is currently developing for the EM8300 chip on the card in Linux/FreeBSD, the drivers are only in 0.82 release. If you want to run DVD decoding in Linux, Buy a god damn . Creative has opened up the source on the drivers somewhat and do support an Open Source project for those drivers. One question that I am sure that has poped up on few geeks minds that own a DXR3 is "Why isn't Creative suporting DXR3 when it's supporting DXR2?" The reason is due to the fact that Creative didn't make the chips for DXR3, Sigma did. They say that they support Linux selectively, but having spoken with the developers themselves, I know that they didn't have any plans as of 10-00. Also, I do know that the DXR2 did have many problems, and I had one upuntil it died on me.
The Video card works great at 800X600 due to the work of the Gatos Project. If you do have a DXR2 and ATI, you can use the Pro to use the DXR2 to display on Monitor. I don't know if the video does work.
Soundcard and others: if it's linux compatable, buy it and use it. If a soundcard is linux compatable and has 5.1 sound, why haven't you bought it yet?!!!
Pros for my system:
1) I don't need cable, just need to go to mom and dad's place to record episodes.
2) Set your own TV network up and delete the comercials except for at the superbowl. Then you watch the commercials and skip the game. Especially this year. (where's my buck Lucas?)
3) Playlist is a very good feature.
4) who need a 19" monitor when I have a 32" TV?
5) It gives me something to tweak everyday.
6) If you have a "copy" of a movie on your comp, why do you have to go to the theater to find out that it sucked?
7) It's what made me adiment about re-learning C++ and memory calls
8) Preview homepages to see how much it would suck if I had a WebTV
Cons:
1) Windows based. I want someone to come out with an ASF 2 MPG converter that actually works, and does not do it real time. (I would do it, and have tried to learn, but I'm about 3years to late to do machine code anymore)
2) Only 800X600 may sound great on a tv, but I'm going to have to upgrade when I get an HDTV.(Oh please, please, please santa. Bring me one small one, like say 27")
3) I can't think of another one other than the mess of cables.(hahahahhahahaahahahaha!!!!!!!!!)
if anyone really wants to talk to me, (bubbles@nospam.rea-alp.com) mail me, and we'll talk. If anyone has a similer situation or a problem, ask, and if I don't know it, then I'll ask around. And if I have a problem, we can talk and I can figure out wtf Microsoft is thinking to not open up asf.
Also, Taco, Divx is just as good as ASF, and there v2.0 site is even cooler.

PS: I also have owned all of these thing for 2+years, so don't tell me that it's not fast enough!!!!!!!
Ok, I may get flame bait for this, but I don't care:
I learned of AI during the January edition Of Wired '97. This is something I have been waiting for for 5 years, and am not going to let anyone spoil it for me. I hope Stanley get the lifetime achement this year at the oscars. It would be perfect. 2001? Even Aurthor C. Clark said it should be this way.
On a personal note, I watched Eyes wide shut in the the theater and loved it. Three hours without blinking. It was Episode I all over again.
This is a possible great movie, and look at Spielberg's movies from a movie maker's standpoint. He may make commercial films, but deep down, he want's to make great movies. That is why AI will probally be great.
Score me as I want, but you need to look at all of Kubricks movies from a standpoint of "How the hell did he do that?"
PS: I am not going to watch Barry Lindon yet, and am not going to until I'm on my death bed. I still want one thing to look forward to.
But on a more personal note, I just tried to post something here, Straight from the site, to make fun of micro$haft, and I couldn't.(lamnness filter) So just go to the site, and look at what microsoft is defined by yahoo. And notice that there is no account of what Sun is.
I'm sorry, He was my best teacher. No doubt about it. 4-6 grades were some of the best times at 1:00 pm-2:00pm twice a week. He taught us things that opened up our minds to completely different things, such as film makeing, (we watched an episode of "Unsolved Mysteries", and remeber what he said about the different producers), computers,(volentarly let us use his own MacSE 30 with an extra 20meg hard drive), and what happenes when you try and make yourself black out, (you lose brain cells). But I will always rember how he opened up some painful stuff and told us about how Cat scans work.
He also forced me to learn to type. I was in 5th grade, and was typing. That type, (no pun intended), of learning was started in 7th grade, and finalized in 9th. Hows that for advanced?
The Poems, (an is is just a was that was, and that is very small), the science lessons, (you can boil water in a leaf, and not have the leaf catch on fire), and brain teasers, (How can someone who is only 5'10" hang themselves from 10 foot high ceilings, when they have no marks on them, except burns on thier feet?).
If I'm ranting, I'm sorry, but I just can't say enough good things about Mr. Siegle, (now Dr. Siegle). I just wish I could actally call him Del and not think to myself, (cool, I just called a teacher by his first name.)
to see how long untill they are banned in schools(I really could have used on in classes), but what about noise filtering, location of Microphone, (I'm assuming right now that everything is brought in by a radio of some type), actual dictionary, and storage. Also is it something that might make it's way into civilian life. And how about other 'slang' than military. We all know what 'WTF' means, but will these things?
Side note: I saw one in about 1995, and it was as cool as I thought it would be. And it only had a vocabulary of 10,000 word in English and Spanish. I tried to have it say "I can't do that Dave." in spanish with that really cool voice. But it didn't know what 'Dave' was.

But since it's owned privately now, do you think that there will be tours soon? How about it? Huh? I'll bring the fiber card and some cable if I can plug in. Something tells me it would be a bit nicer than my 33.6
