The first one that came out hurt to play in Linux or Windows, but 1.08 is much smoother even if it isn't as pretty as with a TNT. It's still not liquid smooth like Q2 though.. if it doesn't make another improvement like it did between the first test versions, looks like I'll be getting a new celeron, mobo, and TNT2U.
Is it FASTER? Can I use it on my PII 266 with a Millennium II? I tried the last release and it made it worth it to spend hours getting Window Maker the way I wanted it even though Enlightenment worked fine. Now I'm stuck on Window Maker, but I'll go back if Enlightenment can switch desktops as quickly as Window Maker.
Even on campus, I assume you want to reach all the students, even when they're home for the weekends or holidays. So don't forget the poor analog people (like me!)
I got the Red Hat letter, which apparently means I'm what they call an "affinity member". I filled out my profile at first going through the URL in the Red Hat letter being very conservative and was denied. So when they let all the regular E*Trade customers in on it I just went that way, and filled out my profile again not being so conservative, and was granted. I didn't get in because of the $12/$14 thing, and now they tell me "Sorry, you did the Wrong Thing by going through the other way, and you're no longer an affinity member." Hearts in th.. *mumble*

Photoshop's advantage.. power or interface?

For the first year or so using Gimp, I didn't really see what the big deal was. But after reading the manual and playing with it seriously, I see why it can compete with Photoshop. I wonder if someone made a new interface for it to make it feel and work more like Photoshop, more people would convert.
I thought about that a while ago.. building IRC messaging into an AIM or ICQ client, or even just a standalone messenger. It could do pretty much everything ICQ and AOL could, and even have different modes for messenging depending on if the users want to chat in single messages (ICQ), AIM-style chat windows, or ICQ-style chat windows. I'm not aware of any programs that would do this right now, does it sound like a good idea to anyone else?
The only program I can see would be how to take care of nicks. The most intuitive way would be to use addresses like MagPulse@efnet. The client would have to connect to all the different IRC servers though, or at least connect and disconnect, a la GameSpy.
Someone (Zoid?) said in their plan the new version is a lot quicker, and I agree. For the first test I felt like I was fighting my mouse the whole time to get my view to move even on fastest rendering, and now even with some nice options on it's better.
It rips and encodes entire CDs in ten minutes on its own on my PII at 96Kb/sec, and names them too. I have a regular IDE drive, and it configured it without my help. Before, the only program that would rip with my drive was WinDAC, and the Jukebox rips four times faster. I think this *is* significant, because of how easy and quick it is; and also because it feels safe ripping CDs with a program made by a big company.
Ahh crap, does that mean I'm lame now?

I've used Linux for 3 years, and do all my programming in it. I'm definitely not a newbie, and know the system pretty well. But damn, I use KDE. I think people need to stop labelling and generalizing about people who use KDE/Red Hat. I use both because they work, and I can change what I want.

I just throw everything on the desktop, since it's the easiest way of keeping track of things. I agree that gnome crashes all the time, completely unusable. I installed KDE again today on another computer in 15 minutes, and it's solid as a rock. Gotta love it:)
I'm buying the Windows version for sure, because I know the control, playability, and mods are all going to be there. I run Linux 95% of the time, with Quake the *only* reason I reboot. If you want me to pay twice, then fine, I'll just stay away from your Linux version. I hope this isn't the case.
"Tries to comprehend"? I like developer.com, do they really deserve an attack like that? I guess slashdot is equivalent to an editorial-only section of a real newspaper, but I liked the article..
I never had Linux crash on me in the 2 years I've been using it, so I kinda blew up when that happened. I have a Dell XPS H266 running at 266, it's been very reliable, it has 128 megs of RAM, I'm running a newly installed copy of Red Hat 5.2 with X version 3.3.2 and the Millenium II driver that came with it. I didn't really expect help, I just thought Linux was never supposed to crash on a normal computer like mine. I was running Netscape 4.08 alone with a couple of other things, but everything was run as a user, not root.. I didn't think anything was supposed to be able to bring down everything including the network. The only things I've changed lately are installing KDE pre2 and kernel 2.2.1, but KDE was run as a user..

We don't need to hear about how you want everything you hear about.
You can't interview Bill Gates, only his PR team.

How about they start with those people who lost out on the Red Hat deal?

At first it looked like only the long rants got high scores, but I'm glad short and sweet comments like this get high ones too.

What's the JenniCam?!?!
The new space "shuttle" that will be done in a few years for the ISS is what I assumed they'll be using, it'll be a lot cheaper than it is now.
I have KDE 1.1 installed from the RPMs, nothing weird, and I can just fling my mouse up to the top and it activates. *shrug*

After this patch is installed, no program, or maybe just userlevel program, can enable it again?
That's what I heard anyway, from OSS.
