  1. Re:Extigy != external A2 on Computer Audio - To USB or Not to USB? · · Score: 1

    According to the Alsa Soundcard Matrix the extigy "Doesn't really do 24 bits via USB. Doesn't really do 96 kHz via USB." The Audigy2 doesn't seem to be listed. None of the M-Audio (Midiman) USB devices are listed with this "problem".

  2. Re:base it on Debian on Installers for Homebrew Linux Distributions? · · Score: 1

    dpkg-repack and kernel-package are worth a look.

  3. Re:Nice, but not a ton of info from it. on Linksys Releases GPLed Code for WRT54G · · Score: 1

    Unless your definition of "community" is "Linksys."
    Like the Linksys Communtiy network?

  4. Linux Games on Windows Tech Writer Looks at Linux · · Score: 1
  5. Motiviation on Lik Sang On Nintendo Piracy Judgment · · Score: 1

    Perhaps Nintendo's primary motiviation is not to stop unauthorised copying of games, but to distance the possibility of developers releasing games without paying Nintendo royaltys.

  6. Re:Closed-Source on nForce2 GART Driver Finally Released For Linux · · Score: 1

    That doesn't stop them releasing specs. Perhaps open-drivers/specs would demonstrate that they are infringing patents?

  7. Re:Jabber on Brokerage Instant Messages Must Be Saved · · Score: 1

    It's experimental/proof-of-concept but there's Public CVS - I was just pointing out that logging all messages isn't a big deal (with jabber).

    Of course it can't get keys for end-end encryption. There's not much point in logging encrypted messages, but I was sugesting gpg as a counter-measure to snooping on public servers - within an organisation which wanted to log messages they would need cooperation (perhaps as a condition of employment) from the workers. This is common to all comunications, and not a jabber specific problem (jabber just (optionally) offers a standardised integrated way of using end-to-end encryption).

  8. Jabber on Brokerage Instant Messages Must Be Saved · · Score: 1

    With JabberYou can do Server side logging easily with the msglog Component. Of course this applies to public servers as well (just like any IM where the messages go through the server). If that bothers you you should use something like GPG (which works well with jabber).

    Stallman is interested in freedom not price.

  10. Re:SCO's goal on Did SCO 'Borrow' Linux Code? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I think the GPL will stand up, but even if it didn't what effective control would SCO have over a public domain work + 80 lines of Sco code? Their arguments are so blatently warped that I don't think going to court was ever part of the plan.

    >I noticed clueless people spreading FUD like "Linux is not ready for the desktop" as if they get paid for doing it.

    It's very likely that some of them aren't clueless and are paid by Microsoft. I'm sure they know what to do with moderator points too (and I'm probably about to be on the receiving end).

  15. Re:Make NVIDIA drivers Open Source! on More 'Application-Specific' Optimizations in NVidia Drivers · · Score: 1

    The Benchmarks would need to be open too. As would the operating system :)

  16. Re:So What? Who Cares? on More 'Application-Specific' Optimizations in NVidia Drivers · · Score: 1

    Maybe that's one of the real reasons why nvidia refuse to help free drivers from being developed.

  17. Re:Use Jabber on Trepia: A Buddy List Of Strangers · · Score: 1

    patent pending! :-/

    It looks like it uses IP addresses to guess proximity (I'm at least 100 miles from my ISP...) - In Jabber everything goes through servers - only the one your account is with knows your ip, so it's not going to work without some extra stuff - but imho guessing locality to this level from ip is daft anyway (but it makes spaming harder) - a better aproach is to have the user specify their location (and turn that into coordinates). This can be done well with jabber.

    This jabber world map works by having users specify their coordinates

    Notice
    ======
    The main executable has been renamed to "grubclient" out of respect for the GNU Grub bootloader, who's executable is named "grub". They were out first, so we decided to pick another name. If you have a catchy suggestion for a new name, please let us know.


    I nominate "parasite".

    Gforge is an opensource fork of Sourceforge (What irony?). You can buy support for it too.

    I hope transgaming goes bust.
    I have little sympathy for mandrake - As they can profit in the good times they shouldn't beg in the bad (but thanks for the software contributions). The fsf and debian are much more deserving causes. Xiph does good stuff too.
