Frankly, many other companies have had problems with deciding what they are going to do, but Amiga takes the cake. Qnx kernel then linux kernel, new machine -> internet terminal. The list goes on. Make up your mind!
Agreed, perhaps my wording was slightly off. However, I'm starting to also think that cases such as the mp3.com one, are brought about solely by the legal system. Without an ability to be held liable for distributing such content, it is automatic that mp3.com should place a warning on their pages. They do not want to be sued or similar, no matter how feasible or logical the sueing is. Just a thought.
I as many do, like to know my own rights as they are constantly trying to be constricted. Although the internet has no country, it seems that those countries whom call themeselves "free" like to impose restrictions to that freedom internet wise. ironic.
I agree, the latest sets are much better than their previous sets. However, I at the same time dislike the speed at which they make releases (one every three months or so), in which I can't keep up money wise. I also find that the packets of cards they sell rarely have good cards, and that it is much cheaper to buy singles. Almost every rare card I've gotten in a long while sucked. The preconstructed decks are also a bit of a money wrought, they make sure that there is one good rare in each deck so that needs that rare will shell out the money to get it.
I agree, that's the main reason why I have windows. I got it to run in wine once but it never worked properly. Too bad, it'd be great to get it for linux.
Yehaa!! This is going to be one great app. Do you know what gui toolkit it uses. It is appropriate, that Apprentice is ported to linux, because most of the Magic players who go to uni actually do computer science, and a lot of them would use linux or some other form of unix.
I've heard that the compiler that comes with Code Fusion is superior to any other. Has anyone besides cygnus run some tests on the speed, and if so, where can I find the results to these tests?
This may be a little offtopic, but is xfree86 like linux 2.0.36, and uncompilable with gcc 2.95 and pgcc? I've tried compiling them, and they start, but immediately crash after loading netscape (signal 11). I've seen that mandrake has successfully compiled xfree86 with pgcc, and I was wondering if there was a trick to doing it. Thanks.
I prefer to use source from milestones, rather than that of cvs, as there are often experimental features in cvs code that might break code. I do not like to download the milestone binaries either, because it costs too much to download them (freaking isp per/mb limits (australia)). Are there patches between source milestone's. If so, I haven't been able to find them yet. Cheers
If you did infiltrate mtv with back orifice, was the bo server already installed, or did you have to secretly send an email with the attachment, and wait for a hapless person to accidently run the executeable you sent? After you had access to one machine, I assume that you then ran rampant with the passwords that you obtained from bo.
I remember reading somewhere that sony hired cygnus to make a playstation 2 emulator so that developers could run the games (while developing) on high end mations. It emulated the 128 bit core and such, but I wonder what the actual requirements would be.

Every time I use a mirror straight after a new kernel is released, the patch is always there. It could be I just have a frequently updated mirror, but I'm happy. I use mirror.aarnet.edu.au

Hey, just ran a benchmark on the binaries in different areas comparing pgcc to gcc 2.95 using the hwinfo2html program (http://rob.current.nu) and compiler flags "-O9 -mpentium -ffast-math". I found that pgcc has a slight edge in performence at this stage, but not by a noticable amount. Have a look here . Most interesting are the nbench results as the others shouldn't be affected. Lucas

What is the performance of binaries compiled with gcc 2.95 compared to that of binaries compiled by pgcc and will the source changes that pgcc has made to egcs be envtually returned to the main source tree?
I found that when I transferred a large file from one linux box to another, with realtek network cards (that I scored cheaply), it consistantly stalled. However, changing the mtu of one of them to 576, while keeping the mtu the same on the other fixed the problem. Quite strange, but it fixed the problem...

Good. This sounds like it might be a fair representation of linux at this time of being. It may actually be useful to see where linux now stands benchmark wise (although it doesn't give any indication of the probability of crashing).

You have to compile programs for a specific architecture. eg. i386, PPC, m68k. Thus, you need a compiler that compiles specifically for the dreamcast.

I would _help_ code it, but as a fairly intermediate programmer, there would have to be others helping, especially with the networking and gui. Lucas

Just untick the box containing kernel updates.

Is a linux expert actually going to be present at the tests, or help the mindcraft testers the tuning tips?
I would rather install linux myself than pay to have it installed.
Reasons:
1. Choice of distribution.
2. Configuration from scratch how I like it.
Downfall:
Manufacturers may not include linux compliant hardware in this case, though that would be kind of a backwards step anyway.
Anyway, just a thought.
This could humble Microsoft in the eyes of many.
