  1. ... and what about "Powered by ATI"? on ATI Releases New Linux Drivers · · Score: 1

    As stated on http://www.ati.com/support/identify/ ATI differentiates between "Built by ATI" (cards sold by ATI itself) and "Powered by ATI" (cards using ATI chips by other vendors).

    This news referers only to "Built by ATI" cards. I don't like these little differences, but with so many Original/OEM/Dell/Relabeled configurations out there ... does it really make a difference?

  2. Re:A better solution on A Universal Roaming Profile? · · Score: 2, Informative

    www.syncml.org

    XML-based, designed for n:m devices:servers, strong industry support, but not yet any consumer products i know of, and i cannot find any open source implementations. The standard is out now for almost 2 years....

  3. Re:netscape supported this on A Universal Roaming Profile? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Mozilla (as of version 1.0.1, 1.1 and 1.2 alpha) does not yet support roaming, unfortunately.

    I used it with Netscape 4.x at work and at my home, and it was very practical (sorry, my online dictionary page is currently down:-P)

    It is amazing how comfortable such a "simple" solution can be. StarOffice founder Börries has a new company http://www.verdisoft.com which wants to provide unified device/software configuration.

    They use SyncML, and SyncML is IMHO the protocol of choice for this goal, supported by many vendors, but i cannot see mass products since almost 2 years. and: unfortunately there is not yet an open source implementation :-(

    I think central device and software configuration and management is the next big thing. Think of the millions of poor users today who have to keep their workstations, laptops, cell phones, pda's and frigerators on sync :-)
