  1. Re:It's the keyboard, stupid. - And he was BOTTING on Banned From WoW For WINE & Programmable Keyboard · · Score: 1

    I dont know about you, but with GuildChat, 4Sale Chat, City Chat, the 3 Zone channels I'm in.. i tend to miss a hell of a lot of whispers. (And actively ingore them too).

    Does this look like a canadian wireless network thats not Bell/Rogers/Telus ?

    Yup yup AHUUUUUh

  3. Re:I don't get it on Canada and Denmark using Google as Battleground · · Score: 1

    Psh. Remember when you say french you also mean a good population of the people here in Canada. While "french fries" may be a shame to you, cover them in gravy and cheese and you've got ambrosia.

  4. Re:Obviously the Danish are wrong! on Canada and Denmark using Google as Battleground · · Score: 1

    Clearly they are wrong. But, while Denmark may be unable to deploy large numbers of troops quickly, they have a greater capacity for ice breakers, transport planes, fighters and attack helicopters. (Most canadian airforces operating in the area use greenland as a base)

    It takes almost as long for the CF18s to get to greenland from alberta as it does for Danish F16s to get there from Arlborg.

    What nuclear capability does canada have ?. We used to have bomarc missles here, but that was a long time ago. While theoretically we could build a bomb rather quickly, and have the resources to do it in country, I just cant see that ever happening. (Maybe just wishful thinking)

  6. Good Review on Review: Battlefield 2 · · Score: 1

    Good review, though there has only been two patches.. one good, one bad.

    For those that like BF2 in an organized and non-clan environment, join the 21cw tourney!. Play with the best of the best, join the beta campaign. Friendly shit-talking and no cheaters :D

  8. Re:The same issues that have been for years. on Anatomy of a Successful Enterprise Linux Distro? · · Score: 1

    Fair warning, I do work for Xandros.

    1-> There are always printers that dont work, but our printer configuration wizard is very good and easy to use. See screenshot at osdir.com

    2-> Partitioning : Again, see Screenshots at osdir.com

    3-> Mice usually work without issue, when they dont its usually caused by the USB hardware not being detected properly, or requiring a different ACPI setting to be enabled.

    4-> We dont resize x on the fly, but we do test the settings you've selected & ask you to confirm them before they are written.

    5-> Our login manager only allows kde logins, this can be changed by installing gdm, kdm or xdm from the debian mirror.

    6-> With Xandros Networks applications are easy to remove, again more screenshots :D

    7-> Not sure what you mean regarding the device applet.

    8-> Best tool for the job is our motto. you wont find needlessly duplicated applications.

    9-> FileManager More Screenshots

    Ok, so I work for them... BUT you should definitely look at Xandros Business edition as a desktop, and xDMS as a deployment solution.

  16. Superior ? on NVIDIA Announces Intel nForce Chipsets Coming · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What the hell makes commercial closed source drivers superior ?.

    I agree that nForce is supported well on linux, but its mostly because the sound and ethernet are handled by opensoure projects now. The stupid AGP gart is another issue. /me curses nVidia.

  22. Netwinder 3100 vs. NetWinder 2100 on Netwinder is Back · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just so y'all know the "device" that netwinder inc will actually be selling is probably not the old strongarm version (2100) but probably the (3100) which included : 10+GB hdds, 128+ MB of ram and a 533MHZ Crusoe Processor. 2 Serial Ports (One for console) 3 Realtek Nics, 2 USB ports (USB Modems and some Nic's). No Video, No Keyboard, No mouse, only a serial console. These run much nicer 4-5 times the hard drive throughput... FYI

    Fuckit, its a national disaster just break the god-damn licensing issues.. Love to see MS try to sue the Red-Cross in their time of need.

    Then of course, after this disaster switch the gear over to publicly-licensed software.
