  1. Re:Summary of Sega consoles/CPU's on Dreamcast Reading An IDE Hard Drive · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The Genesis used the Z80 for both sound and Master System/Game Gear (same box, different resolution screen) compatibility. I believe that there was 1 or 2 licensed games that used it for SMS compat, the rest were 10 in 1 pirate carts and the like.

  2. Re:Summary of Sega consoles/CPU's on Dreamcast Reading An IDE Hard Drive · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The DC uses a Yamaha AICA chip for sound, which is just an ARM that runs code given to it to process sound. Pretty flexible beast, from what I've heard.

    I believe that any DC made after Oct 2000 or so cannot read standard cdr's.

    Nope. Lindows.

    both of them do menus. check out Xine-DVDNAV. it works fairly well, sans slightly slow menu response.

    Nothing??... humm... kde? gnome? All my kde apps have the same, configurable appearance. I know there should be some appearance merge between kde and gnome, but...
    Seems to me that you have not seen a linux machine recently.


    gtk+? qt? fltk? athena? motif? X11 apps have an ugly mishmash of crappy looking widgets. It doesnt even compare to the fluidity and uniformity of the MacOS interface. That being said I'm typing this into Galeon on my Debian sid machine, so I have seen a Linux machine recently.

  7. Re:I must admit that i didn't think it would happe on Mozilla Branches For 1.0 RC1 · · Score: 0

    I don't know what I would use if not for mozilla, but I'm sure it would not be as cool.

    Galeon is basically more featureful than Mozilla, and it uses Gecko. Plus it's not as painful to use on my Celeron 366 :)

    Yes, but how many 15 year olds daydreaming in math class subscribe to the theory that multiple parallel universes exist?

    ...the realisation that with closed source, you're eventually going to get fucked over. Therefore, there's no way in hell they're going to buy a product from a dodgy upstart, part based on open source, and part based on closed.

    At least that way you're only going to get partly fucked over, though.

  10. Re:Would this even work? on Swapping IDE Drives in Linux without Rebooting? · · Score: 0

    I know for a fact that this does work for SCSI. I've impressed more than a few people by swapping in SCSI Mac (!) hard disks. Read the SCSI-Programming-HOWTO, it has the instructions for doing this.

    Just don't try to lift any weights with it.

    Yes, but can it run NetBSD? :)

  13. Sleep Less, Break Even on Sleep Less, Live Longer · · Score: 0

    If you think about it, eventually the combined lengthening of days by global warming and increased lifespan from less sleep will cause you to barely break even. Add on to that the increased likelihood of getting skin cancer by the buckets of UV rays that will hit us, and the only way to even stay alive will be to stay inside and never sleep.

    I guess it's never been a better time to be a geek! :)
