Until a proposed modality is proven to work, the scientific term for it is "hypothesis". "Alternative medicine" is a blanket marketing term for practices which legitimately can't be called medicine. Medicine is a science, pharmaceutical industry shenanigans notwithstanding.
PROBLEM: Game testers will complain about the most profitable (obtrusive and game experience wrecking) advertising methods. SOLUTION: Eliminate testing from the development process.
Replace the mac? I thought we were talking about making Linux easier to configure. Who said anything about replacing the mac? I think you're the one who missed the point.
Does no one hate Microsoft for making the mouse as complex as it is now? I know that when I go to my friend's house and he has a Logitech 4-button mouse I just can't immediately figure out how to use it.
If I sat down in front of a Mac, I wouldn't immediately know how to use it either. Should I whine about how much I hate Apple, or just learn to use it?
Don't demand that I simplify my PC, and I won't insist that your Mac needs more buttons. Okay?
Creative only needs to make their own drivers if they don't release the necessary technical information to the open source community. Support for older ISA boards has been in the kernel for some time now. Even the PCI 64/128 boards are supported. You won't get tech support from Creative, since they didn't write the drivers, but you can get plenty of support from the Linux community.
The problem with the SB Live is that Creative refuses to release specs on the EMU-10K1 chip without an NDA. Apparently they're afraid that Aureal will use this information to create a "Vortex Live". Personally, I wouldn't mind the competition, but then I'm not a Creative employee or stockholder.
That's why Creative is probably developing a binary-only driver for the SB Live. I would prefer open source drivers myself, but I'll be happy either way when my SB Live works under Linux.
My Diamond Viper 550 video card is too new to be recognized by the XFree86 3.3.2 software, so right now I'm text-only.
Did you upgrade to the 3.3.2 SVGA server? It supports the V550 and other TNT boards. You might also need to upgrade your X configuration program so it will list your board.
