and roll down to section 6. "You may develop application programs..." which means even ify ou develop against the free version of Qt you have to relase it under the GPL.

Alright, it's been a longggggg time since I setup the computer with the TV-Wonder installed to work under Linux and it's since become a full on toy Windows box but here's what I remember needing to do in order for it to work with 2.2.12 or some really old kernel version like that.
Go to http://www.voxel.at/prj/i2c/ and get the nice and updated i2c drivers because the ones in the kernel (if any) are old and crusty and out of date.
Go to http://roadrunner.swansea.uk.linux.org/v4l.shtml and get the nice and updated BTTV drivers because the ones in the kernel are old and crusty and out of date.
Get xawtv http://www.strusel007.de/linux/xawtv/index.html because yeah... it works:)
RTFMs and I think you'll end up with i2c.o bttv.o and tuner.o modules. modprobe them, fire up X, and xawtv & and you're gold.
It's not the newest piece of hardware around, but it's been working 100% fine for me.
The only drag is if you dual boot to Windows, it's hard to get the updated software drivers that can capture to MPEG format because of some legal sillyness preventing them from posting them on their website. You have to fill out a (short) form and have them mail you the CD. I've lost a few of them but they keep sending me fresh ones everytime I do... *shrug*

Changelog takes a while / where to get it.

Kernel 2.2.12
·
· Score: 1
The changelog takes a few days to be milked out of http://edge.kernelnotes.org The kernel programmers are too lazy to do one themselves apparently. Sometimes you get release notes from Linus though, usually about it being blessed with something penguinish.
Whatever is shown got tweaked a little (or a lot). You can figgure out where the changes were made quickly. Finding out what the changes were requires more effort however.
Come on Hemos, this is old news. Is this really Roblimo in disguise? Hum. Flash isn't all that fun anyhow. Shockwave is the good stuff so I can play all those silly little games around on the web.
I think it's an awesome idea and it's how DNS should be run, or the theory at least. If only that's how it all was and you didn't have to get a program for windows...
Is the guy who wrote the registry for Windows out there reading this? Come one, I know you're into some serious voodoo and black magic, how about doing the world a favor and having NSI fall into a hole in the earth?
"Companies have voted with their feet [on the issue of domains], they want to have domain names that are international or at least country neutral. The same freedom should apply to individuals; all individuals should be able to have and own their own domain names".

IDE blows for ripping. Use scsi. IDE cdrom drives are dime a dozen and just aren't made with quality in mind.
And about that blit/blut noise, I have a 6x that does that. I have no idea why. It plays cd's normally (yeah yeah i know there's a difference between ripping and and playing but I like to think not:) On the other hand my 16x doesn't.
Yesterday in the mail I got a credit application from Discover for an "Information Techonolgy Platinum" card. It was addressed to the non-existant company I slapped into the contact information. Well, a company of one (me) kinda like blockstackers.:) And of course I get lots of spam at the e-mail account I signed up for it with offering to help me advertise my domain and get it in search engines and such.
Uhm, AOL already published the TOC protocol that AIM uses. How do you think TiK and GAIM and all those unix instant messanger clients were made? I don't see why MS publishing their protocol which is proabley a whole 8 lines different (connecting to another non-AOL ad server?) would be such a big deal.
Hey moderators, you can give me a "Flamebait" or whatever the hell you want, but don't stick some lame -1 on me. I'm not some troll pulling a "first post" or speaking in l33t speak or going on a "Mandrake sux, E sux," rampage.
Geoff really did design and implement the "Elf Buddy" e-mail lists for claus.com while working at Intellimedia.
If he doesn't even have the foresight to think that a child might outgrow the idea of getting e-mail from an Elf, how can he be expected to co-produce (or whatever) a window manager which should have a very clear design plan from day one.
Besides that, he's extremely childish. If someone asked to be removed from your mailing list which didn't have instructions to be removed from it in the mailing or on the list's homepage, would you go running around to 12 other ones to sign him up? I should hope not.
I'm just posting a true story and would like to have the rest of the Slashdot community read it as it might influence their decision to run out and install E. Don't give me some high 4 or 5 rating so that my question goes to Geoff, I don't want it to. I'm just stating my opinion on the man based on my experience with him in a rhetorical question style.
If this is too much for you to handle or if you don't want to admit to yourself that he may not be the demi-god you wish he was, that's fine, but don't opress me with a -1.
You don't believe in god/higher being unless you see (or otherwise experience) *proof* of existance. Like I don't believe in Santa Claus. But if I see a fat man flying thru the sky in a sled being pulled by some deer, I will.
So basically an open non-believer. Much better than a closed believer if you ask me.
To remove the symbols try tooling around with the "strip" command. From the manpage:
DESCRIPTION GNU strip discards all symbols from the object files objfile. The list of object files may include archives. At least one object file must be given.
I went to the page, the source for lizard won't even be available until Sept. 3rd.:( By then who knows what'll of happened and how many times they've decided to change the way it'll be released (if at all still).

Okay, the original post said a G3 could smack down on a P3 at same clock speed. I bet it could. BUT it can't get to the same clock speed. And as it stands, 400mhz isn't enough to topple a 550mhz P3.
You may of course now debate that it can. I stand by saying it can't, but of course it could if it had a a few hundred more mhz...
I though the part about the metric system was good.:) The laughter was necessary in order to bond with the characters. Would you feel creppy and bad if you already hated these people and they were all escaped convicted rapists? No. You'd be like "yeah! go witch go! kill them weirdos!"
So that's why there was stuff in the beginning that allows you to sort of get to know them better and know that they're real people and not acting when they're cracking jokes and occasionaly getting their speech jumbled etc.
3dfx needs to be fixing my Voodoo2 before they go out and do all this 2d/3d card stuff. Come on Daryll, I know you read slashdot, quit tooling with the demo for that graphics convention!
Well for starters, the G3 can't get clock speeds as high as the PIII. Second of all, of course Apple would say that. You think they'd say "yeah, we suck alright." ? And it's only faster at one lousy thing, bytemark tests, for those of you who believe in bytemarks. Non-Macophiles the world around and even some of them know the benchmark means nothing in the real world.
