Dare I say it, Hollings isn't all bad. -Ducks- Seriously, he was perhaps the strongest voice AGAINST the recent FCC Media Conslidation ruling. Kinda goes against D - Disney doesn't it? Shades of gray people, shades of gray...

Yikes, the CHEAPEST model is $449, without any accesories. I think I'll give it a miss this once...
Actually that is my one complaint about GNU Chess. As a novice, it would be nice to actually have a snowballs chance in a warm room. Even in Easy, it's a question of WHEN I lose, not if.
Except that you can do basically the same with macros in photoshop, without ever writing a line of code. Not that coding is bad, nessesarily, but the GIMP API is majorly fugly.
Not to mention they offer a FREE learning version. It even runs on Linux;)

Geez, read the blurb. An AOL VP *would not deny* the accusation. If you were the VP of a company and your company was accused of selling all your customers info to somehow who is basically a con man, wouldn't you be denining it? Unless of course you actually DID do it.
Quote: Microsoft knew that (I mean, come on), and like a drug pusher, made sure the buyer was hooked before they started charging (my proof is how they made MSIE a dominant browser over Netscape).
You me up until right there. MSIE took over because Netscape 4.x sucked donkey balls.
Let's use 640x480 as a sample res, 16 bit color, 30 fps.
640*480*16*30 = 147,456,000. 147Mbit/sec. Without audio. Most DivX files are on the order of 0.5 - 1MB/sec. With Audio. That's 150:1 to 300:1 compression.
The Gentoo doc is *VERY* good. I find it hard to beleive someone has trouble with it. Yes, it's doing it by hand, but it walks you through it step by step.

But that's exactly the point. The less the system depends on/ has 'built in', the smaller, faster, and more efficient a minimal install can be.
Wow. Another Eaves on slashdot.

Better than nothing. Understanable too, since complex vertex ops could easily involve thousands or even hundreds of thousands of points.
Okay, and UNDO is going to be implemented when? Seriously, I can't take a graphics package without an UNDO feature seriously.

You know, some of us *DO* use OpenGL for things other than games. (Hint: It was oringally designed by SGI for use in engineering apps)
Two Words: Hardware implementation.
Hell, for most screens (But not a game, probably) a simple run length encoding scheme would get you close to, if not over 10:1
DivX is *VERY* high compression.
Think for a sec.

Sigh. Why does everyone insist on using base 256 for colors? A floating point 0 - 1 range is SOO much easier to work with /rant

Doesn't get any simpler than that. Come back in a minute to 12 hours (Depending on the package), and *poof* new software. Ditto BSD ports.
I must say, that's lowest UID I've ever seen. /offtopic
Does this honestly surprise anyone in the least?
THINK!
If the low end was worth the PCB is was printed on, there goes the market for the higher-end (and higher-margin) stuff.
Seen it? Hell, I run it (Qmail anyways). It's also a pain in the ass to configure and administer. Not quite software utopia, but closer than most..
Well, based on all the software I've ever seen, pretty damn hard.
Sure, an OC3 and a cluster of FreeBSD machines.

I'd kill for 1MB/sec to the 'net. Even 1Mb/sec would be twice as fast as my DSL. Geez, kids these days... We used our 14.4s, and we liked it!
