I got the card (Turtle Beach Santa Cruz with CS4624 chip) to work in the 2.2.19 kernel by adding the module. I also got it working in the 2.4 kernel with the standard OSS modules as well. I'm sure it'll be supported in ALSA 0.9 or whatever will be merged into the kernel. At least this way I can have multiple sources use the sound card instead of just XMMS.
Who still uses Navigator 4.08 to browse? Call me old school, but I don't like lots of features in my browser, just something that won't crash too often and is not named *explorer. Oh, yeah I still use pine for mail too. Seriously, I'll never get a virus that way!
Do you even realize what sort of damage can be done to a plane if a hole is punched through the skin. A plane is essentially a thin walled pressure vessel while in flight. A single bullet from a handgun can pierce the aluminum skin and cause a huge stress concentration. The result of such a puncture will undoubtably de-pressureize the cabin in mid-flight, but also may cause the entire skin of the plane to rip apart. If you don't beleive me, check out the info on the Aloha Airlines flight on 04/28/1988. Carrying standard firearms on planes is just plain dumb for this very reason. Maybe something that won't pierce the skin like rubber bullets is resonable, but a semi-automatic weapon, c'mon, get real.
Not True! The Pentium 4 generates about 25W/cm^2 while the sun generates about an order of magnitude more powere per unit area (634W/cm^2). This is assuming that my calculations are correct.
I can't believe they had such a big section on Prof. Morse. As a student who works in the same building as him, I know that he is undoubtably the best scrounger on this campus. It's true his stuff is really old (like that huge bank of capacitors he has), but he seems to pull it all together. He has to do this becasue he probably doesn't get much money from NSF, et. al.
Newspapers weren't stolen at Berkeley (at least none that I know of), and reporters weren't threatened here. So, for people to say the Free Speech is dead at Berkeley, is complete fallacy. Your arguements about the nazism is likewise useless in this context, and your correlation between student protestors and fascists is despicable.
Well, I suppose if you ask "those that care about the issue" you will see the result I have stated. There are many majors out there (like all the humanities) that are filled with people who are passionate about these issues and others. I am an engineering student, and I do care about this issue and many others. Am I active in protests? Not really. Are there plenty of people like me who have ideas about this issue but rarely voice them in public. You betcha. Just because someone never comes forward in public and says, "Yes! We need to reinstate Afirmative Action now!" does not mean that they are antagonistic toward the idea. I'm not sure on the numbers, but humanity students outnumber engineers + business school students by like 2:1 by my rough estimate.
It's not only the people of color you refer to trying to reinstate A.A. In fact, I know many whites who believe in A.A. and want it reinstated as well. The irony you refer to is the point they are trying to make. Neo-Marxists and anarchists as you call them only had a significant impact for a short time, and that went out in the 1970s. I odn't unserdtand how you think that a student body that is completely unrepresentative of the state of California's demographics is the "correct" way to run a state-funded higher education system.
Good points... I'm glad someone for once has the correct thinking on this one. No one at the Horowitz speech prevented him from talking. Rather, it was the understaffed people who put it on who ended the dialogue after shouting began. Horowitz talked freely as did the people outside. The students on campus who don't agree with the dominant radical views of others have a right to speak about them, and both sides did that.
Very good points... I agree with you on many issues then. Going by your definition, then I suppose I am not a liberal either. I agree that the pendulum has swung to the right slightly in California for exactly the reasons you state, but I don't really think it has moved that far here on campus. An overhwlming majority of students are in favor of A.A., and I think of these as "liberal" causes. Thank you for the clarification.
Who do you think abolished A.A.? The students? Nope. The Berkeley, faculty or administration? Nope. It was the UC Regents, a group so far removed from the voices of the students that only HUGE political uprisings can adjust their policies. I am an engineering student at Cal. I know many more liberal studetns here than conservatives. All the conservatives need to bond together under one group in order to get their minority voices heard. There's nothing wrong with that, but it further weakens your claim that this campus is becoming more conservative. The liberals on this campus, myslef included, do not feel the need to join groups like that because our voices and concerns are the predominant one already. I think the conservative grups have their place on campus and I support their freedom of speech as well. What I, and the majority of the students here don't support are their opinions.
Uh,huh... A small minority, right. Ask the students on campus if they support Mr. Horowotz and his claims, and I think you will realize that theya re not in the minority at all. Your claims of fascism are baseless. There is room for all types of speech including Horowitz's type. The conservatives on this campus are the minority, and if you fail to realize that, then you have problems.
Blinders? It is you my friend who is blind to the plight of African Americans and other minority groups. Do you think theere is equality in this country? Take your blinders off and look around. How many blacks do you see working in your IT department at whatever company you work for? Not very many I bet. You should think about the reasons why this has occured.
Been to Cal recently? Hell, I'm a student, I go everyday (including weekends), and I'm not part of a liberal fringe group either. I belive that there is large portion of students here that are liberal in their leaning, myslef being part of that group. If your message is to say that conservatives are the majority on campus, you're dead wrong. if you are saying that there is a general state of apathy for political activity on campus, you would be right. Most students I know actually care about political expression (the only ones that don't happen to be involved in majors like Engineering and Business). Is the campus becoming more and more conservative? Hardly. Take a look at what out African American recruitment and Retention centers just anounced they are doing... That's right they are actively trying to disuade black applicants from enrolling to try to force the Regents into re-instating Afirmative Action. That is not the work of conservatism at all. while I don't agree on their tactics, I do agree that the re-instation of A.A. is needed.
I think the real quote was "If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative when you're 40, you've got no brain." and I think Winston Churchill said it although I could be wrong.
Thugs with placards huh? I'm sure that's what many Americans thought of the student protests during the 1960's as well. Just as they were wrong then, they are wrong now.
You're a moron... You weren't there... I was. Oh BTW, Horowitz is a bigot. Plain and simple. The reason the Daily Cal appologized for the ad was because it is against their policy to publish obviously inflamable material in its advertisements. Get your fact straight before you acuse Berkeley students of being fascist. The students have a right to protest his speech don't they? Did Mario Savio use a bullhorn as well? I think he did.
The students protesters (with the bullhorns and such) were mostly outside. They were not trying to suppress his rights to political speech, rather they were voicing their own political speech which is done frequently on campus. You have a right to belive (and speak about) Mr. Horowitz's rediculous claims, and I have the right to counter that speech with my own.
He wanted not such thing... He came to campus and talked only about Free Speech, hiding his worthless claims behind that banner. He never spoke about his book or any of his infamous theories. Since the entire forum was 1) understaffed by security (except for Mr. Horowitz) and 2) Preceeded by a severe goof-up in the school newspaper (the Daily Cal), it's no wonder that the open debate session turned into a shouting match after aprox. 3 minutes. I believe the entire thing was a setup to portray the current UC students as a bunch of free speech quashing fascists, which by the way is completely false. Free Speech on campus is alive and well here, just look at all the people out on Sproul during lunch time and you'll see a wide variety of opinions being expressed, not just the dominant liberal view on campus.
Where you here when the infamous Mr. Horowitz came to Berkeley's campus? He spoke freely and the people outside protested freely as well. What I can't understand is why Mr. Horowitz hides behind the Free Speech banner to shout his RACIST and baseless claims. He came to campus and all he talked about was free speech, not his imflamatory and worthless statements. Stop hiding Mr. Horowitz, and maybe someone will actually respect you... Actually you'll never get respect here because you're just plain wrong...
Since RAMBUS will becoming to UC Berkeley for an infosession, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on how to protest, or what questions to ask them?
