Manufacturers will continue to put AGP slots on mother-boards for the next while - as far as I can tell you will be able to plug a PEG gfx card into ANY PEG slot on your board
This just takes us back to the old PCI/AGP days.
No need to spread FUD on the GFX card market - anyone who just paid top dollar will be able to use their top dollar car din their new top dollar PEG capable board for the forseeable future.
What this does herald is the next generation of GFX cards that are coming, but I dont think there will be much difference between PEG and AGP GFX cards for a while - at least not before the shine on the new FX5950 and 9800's has long worn off.

WTF's a kadava ?????
Oh you mean cadaver
Must be that "American" English I keep hearing about.:P
Well it must be - after all one of yout latest Slashdot journal's is all about bad spelling - but hey this is a whole different ball game - this is making shit up
http://slashdot.org/~Yorrike/journal/
To quote the journal
"So you see, using the correct word in the correct place is not that difficult. If a total chimps like me can do it, then so can super brains like you."
And its goodnight from me...... (well figuratively, not literally)
Well I went with the NE510's big brother the D-NE1
Same features as above with the following addidtions
Rechargable Batteries built in - 150 hours life - and they are replaceable (tho I shudder at the cost) - it comes with a really cool charging stand too.
External removable AA battery pack - Seems to last forever (as above)
Backlight inline remote.
I replaced their above standard generic headphones with MDR-EX1 in ear ones - these have to be the best phones I ever used (without looking like Princess Leia) - they block out surrounding noise VERY well - I can listen to music/audio books with the volume set to half max and STILL hear everything while on the London Underground - which is no mean feat.
Your article "Linux cyber-battle turns nasty" published on the 5th February 2004, is, in my opinion grossly misleading.
The article builds a picture that the Worm/Trojan/Virus that was unleashed was designed, implimented and unleashed by a member, or member of the Linux Open Source community.
Now while I cannot say for certain that this is wrong, the title of the article seems to say that this is indeed the case, even though it goes on to say "there is no proof".
An equally valid argument could be that SCO engineered the whole thing as a publicity stunt to gain public sympathy and to vilefy the Linux community due to the problems that it is facing in its court case against IBM, a case that has caused SCO to go from being on the verge of bankruptcy to stability based on the rise of their share prices, triggered by the instigation of the case.
Using Thunderbirds adaptive filters to bounce stuff to a junk folder - friends who still use that account ( and none of them should - its been unusable due to spam (100+messages/day) for a while.
I just go into Thunderbird and do a search for XF86 in the subject field and then manually move anything that matches back to my inbox.
I only anticipate recieveing mails on this subject for the next day or two - so no point in setting up auto-filters.
My answer to spam is simple - I use a tiered address system.
I have one account that I give to Family and close friends.
I have another account that I give to less close friends - this is a disposable account
I have another account that I use to sign up on websites etc - this is a known spam magnet and so not that important - usually an account that I used for less close friends that has started to attract spam and so has been relegated to that function.
Over all I have about 13 accountsa for various ppurposes - I am currently considering setting up new accounts for each and every site I subscribe to that calims it wont send on my details. That way if I get anything that didn't come from them only I have the grounds to go after them with a big stick
Then I think you are doing something wrong in your XF-Config file
I got this working on my Ti4200 with no problems (well no problems after I RTFM'd.
Send me an email (raven@chaoscrypt.net) with the phrase "XF86-Config" in the subject if you want a copy of my config file which provides "clone" mode output to VGA & TV via Svideo. Failing to add the "XF86-Config" will probably mean that the email will be filtered to trash - the account is pretty spammed out at the moment.
I would have posted it here but the tabulation of the file caused a
"Lameness filter encountered. Your comment violated the "postercomment" compression filter. Try less whitespace and/or less repetition. Comment aborted." error.
I agree with the previous post and that people should view on the site to encourage.
However - in a same topic (legality) but different subject (Harry Potter), here are the links to the trailer. Dont see any point in going to the website for these really as they will keep churning them out as long as they make money.
Is it illegal for me to post a link to a publically available file on someone's website if the link is not immediately obvious????
For example, by using wget (and not even my "hacked" version that ignores robots.txt files) I can grab the source of a page and from there see where the links to, in this case, the SWF files for these are.
So if I provide links to files that I can see in your browser with no restriction am I breaking the law?
Just set aside a USB port on your box and but a USB memory device - like say one of those LAKS watches.
Encrypt the file-system using an encrypted-fs as normal.
Modify the login to look at the USB device for a passfile - this could be a MD5 hash.
No file on USB device = no login
The advantage of this is that if you break/lose/flush down the toilet, your USB device, all you have to do is goto another machine with a new USB storage device and re-create the hash-file.
Simple and cheap - I think this would come in at under $40US + some hacking, but hey, someone could have a Debian/Redhat package ready in a week or so.
The article comments on how the guy referred to himself "the Neo" and then comments on the Matrix.
Later on a better "extract" the quote from the letter is expanded.
"I thought you'd like to know that I am a warrior, I am fighting for mankind's freedom. Freedom from this society," said the letter, which was signed "Sincerely, Me. Matthew. The One, the Neo, the Anti-Christ, etc. etc. etc."
So there are 2 references to self-identity ("Me. Matthew") 2 to the Matrix ("The One, the Neo") and 1 to Christian "mythology"n with "the Anti-Christ"
With all the programs that offer to manage your financial account details, all it would need is an app that automatically fills in those credit card numbers for you when you go to buy something.
Then all you need is a Virus that can get at that data and bingo - a Virus that can sign you up to all sorts of things, and all in your name.
Now imagine if that Virus ran, signed you for an annual subscription to a porn site (at a time you were logged in and browsing) before deleting itself without a trace. Try getting your money back then.
This is why all kinds of automation should be rejected and our non techie friends educated.
Basically if its on the machine, assume that someone else can get at it.
or to be more exact Osaka 2 (count em 1,2) years ago I had a look round various tech-shops and PC parts places (drooling all the way), I saw just this, or something similar in an "non-modded" part.
Basically it was a 800x600 LCD that slotted into a 5.25" bay.
How it connected to the PC I dont know, but I expect some kind of loop-back cable.
It took us hundreds of years to breed retards like Prince Charles (eco-friendly out of touch guy - he asked Natalie Portman at the Phantom Menace if she had been in any of the 1st three (chronologicaly) Star Wars Films) and he brother Prince Edward (media mogul-wannabe - violated press privacy agreements regarding his OWN nephews college years).
Guess the Yanks are just trying to avoid the unlearning-curve and start with the Bush's
Been said before on this thread, but just to see if different words will encourage understanding.....
The title of the piece is "Transmeta Embeds Security in TM5800 Chips", it does not mention DRM or Palladium.
The 1st paragraph comments that there will be a Crusoe that has "embedded technologies for securing sensitive data and delivering tamper-resistant x86 storage environments", now it seems to me that they are making it possible for me to protect MY data.
The next paragraph is slightly less clear in their intentions, with "for securing sensitive data and intellectual property", as it doesn't mention who's intelectual property we are talking about.
I will put the next paragraph in in ts entirety as is says quite a bit "The new security technologies include secure hidden storage of confidential information, encryption acceleration and a processor architecture that can be extended to support new features and industry standards, such as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)"
I am going to stop quoting now as the link to the story is available in the initial posting.
Lets look at my current config on my web server to see where this new chip could benefit me.
The server is running SSL versions of Courier MTA, Courier IMAP server, and Apache. Then there is the fact that the only way to log onto the box is via SSH.
Do I see rather a lot of encryption going on there - I think I do.
So if my processor can accelerate that then its a bonus not a problem.
Add stuff like tunnelling X through SSH tunnels and I would be a happy person.
So this is a rather useful tool, rather than the thin edge of the wedge, at least as it looks to me from the available info, I could be wrong, but at least I am not just seeing Palladium/DRM lurking around every corner.
And no, I am not pro-Palladium, in fact I have posted previously about my fears of Palladium, and its possible negative impact on my ability to do what I want with the computers that I own.

You are forgetting one thing - they are machines !!!
:)
They dont have to eat
They dont have to sleep
They dont get sick
They dont take vacations
They remember everything they ever did
They remember everything that any other cylon ever did.
They dont have to worry about the safety/survivability of test-pilots etc
And they can form beowulf clusters to work stuff
out
Grendel - wonder who that runs on a Beowulf cluster........

Damn - you beat me to it - that section is in my cut-n-paste buffer as we speak :)
Hehe
The subject says casting is finalized.
Yet the Article says that Zaphod is still to be cast!!!!
Hmmmmmmm
Yep - but of an unorthodox nature.

You stated that you had to search for a while to find this bug.
You managed to find the workaround.
Why not post the link instead of saying look for it ??????
Sometimes the upgrade will require user intervention, so unsupervised is NOT recommended by me - YMMV.
No reason not to add this to your CRONTAB tho, just be aware that there may be problems.

I would advise everyone to campaign to get Max Headroom re-shown on their local TV station.
Plenty of stuff from the series coming true......
You have been warned - Max knew it all....
Shouldn't that be DoDOS attack
