Weird. I've never actually run into any trouble with lilo. On a 6GB disk I have a swap partition, 3GB Win95 partition, and 3GB (roughly) linux partition, in that order. Never had a single problem. Am I missing something?
I agree with jyang-- live performance is always in *front* of you on a stage (hence the term "Soundstage" in hifi circles).
Yeah, but just imagine what music artists will be able to do if 5.1 becomes a standard for audio. Why stick with a limitation just because "it's always been that way"?
I'm just thrilled that the linux port was done at all! I reserved my copy (the software store nearest me ran out this morning) and will be d/l'ing the linux binary this evening.
Really? I have the Dxr3 and haven't noticed any sound sync problems. The only thing I've noticed is if it's paused for too long then playback skips twice after unpausing it.
Sure does look pretty on my 17" monitor though...:)
Heh... at our little local network we're still trying to come up with a consistant scheme but my favorite is our firewall, 'Zuul'. And of course, my dual-boot linux/Win95 system is named Wellington/Napoleon, respectively. And then there's the dual processor NT system named 'MCP'...
Lessee... we have books for dummies and books for the complete idiot, but it seems to me that we are missing out on another segment of the market. How 'bout: Cisco Routers for the Completely Shitfaced...
now all pop music can be created by formulaic computer programs!
No, the music still has to be composed by a human. It's just that when the computer plays it back it will sound more like it's being played by humans than by a machine.
But there are many speed readers who are able to assimilate entire pages at a time. This seems to be a type of parallel processing.
As far as I know, speed reading is done serially as well, skipping quite a bit of the text and mentally filling in the blanks. As a result, the actual comprehension of speed readers is usually lower than normal readers. Can anyone verify this?
Yes, of course. Such a simple idea. Heck, we might as well divide humanity into clearly labled catagories for these different tasks. Lessee... the educated can be called Alphas, below them the Betas, all the way down to the menial task workers that we can call Deltas...
It'll be a brave new world... *grin*

DVD for Linux

After seeing a hardware decoded DVD movie in 1280x1024 on my 17" Trinitron monitor, TV can kiss my... posterior regions. If you enjoy movies for both content and visual appearance, a normal television is not the way to go.
Well, okay, whenever the movie delved into "plot" or "character developement" in kinda sucked, but it's hard to beat as far as "sharks ripping people apart".

I almost missed it myself.
Maybe they are mad because the "intellectual property" is their "encryption".
So... wouldn't reverse-engineering their (rather weak) "encryption" violate the DMCA?

Yeah, but if Bruce Perens were to cut an album, do you realize how many geeks would buy it? I know I would, even if just for the novelty.

The more games, the better.
I'd be more impressed if the experiment ran for a month. A week is nothing.
I've also put this up as well:
Both linux and Windoze versions
Happy downloading!
I have to agree. I finally bought Quake2 for Linux and it beats the pants off of the Win95 version. (Voodoo2 accelleration)

Sure. Just return the CD in its original, unopened package, and they will gladly refund you your $0. :)

Hey, I've got this great idea: embedding images in web pages! Yeah! I am such a genious! I'd better get to the patent office right away!
Heh. Okay, maybe I was exaggerating a bit. However, coming from western Montana, the computer illiterates tend to quite outnumber the literates.
humans are absolutely brilliant creatures

You've never worked in tech support, have you...
Always end its statements by 'But then again, I'm just a ball!'
I can see it now... some joker astronaut will reprogram one of these things to constantly ask the rest of the crew if they want some toast...
Oh... my... god... What a wonderful idea! A bunch of floating assistants with a hive mind! I think I'm getting goosebumps...

It wasn't that bad...

I like it! Then there's also "BZipped Source Of Distribution", or '.bsod'
Sorry, got carried away there...
