In the books after the ents deal with him and Gandalf and Aragon pay him a visit he's not mentioned in the slightest..
If he's completely out though that kinda suggests a twist of the visit Gandalf pays him and is important. Though I just went back to that part in the book and they can get away with it but "why" is beyond me.
My disappointment started when I tried to upgrade Gaim 0.71 to 0.72. The third party Shrike RPM wouldn't work because of pspell dependancy problems. Downloading pspell and compiling it manually wouldn't work either as libpspell-modules were nowhere to be found in the newly compiled archive. So I decided to download the source of Gaim and compile it myself. All went fine with Gaim's compilation except the MSN plugin wouldn't load because gnuTLS that provides SSL to Gaim was not installed. I got to gnuTLS' FTP site downloaded the source, only to ask me for libcrypt. Downloaded the source of libcrypt, only to ask me for the source of GnuPG. I downloaded the gnupg, compiled fine, went back to libcrypt, only to bail out badly with severe compiling errors. This is a simple user scenario that should have not happened, no matter whose fault really is. Now think what a newbie user coming from Windows-land would think about this whole --literally-- usability fiasco.
Above is obviously one of the hindering points of Linux for any user and it's not a distro centric problem. Try installing updated php RPM's on RH 9 and stock Apache and you'll catch hell also.
If the user tried to use the yum or apt programs to install a updated version if available then the problems may have been avoided. And perhaps it's a application issue also.
oh hoho I wanted to install the Macromedia Flash plugin and I first downloaded the tar.gz version which installs its two files via a bash script. Problem was, the script wouldn't run correctly. It would tell me over and over again that the directory I was trying to install is not valid (I tried both the existing/usr/lib/mozilla and/usr/lib/mozilla-1.4.1, no joy).
Now I dont know how many times I've updated or installed the flash player on any number of systems but RTFM you need to know the location of your mozilla or firebird installation in order to complete the install. Another invalid arguement against Fedora this is plainly user error and not a Fedora issue once again.
hmm one possible valid point It asked me for the 3rd CD, I put it in, and then the installer bailed out. Fedora would not even install its own RPMs from its own db/CD. This is a well known bug from the second Fedora beta and I am very, very surprised that it is in the final too.
Okay did this person verify their media during install? Otherwise yes it might be a valid but but you dont have to resort to any rpm's to install flash. In fact you want the latest version from Macromedia.
And no, it doesn't end here. Just as a test, I went to the main "Add/Remove Apps" utility and told it to install the X11-vim application. Same problem, as you can see from our screenshots.
It should end here.. yum install vim-X11 will install the application in less than 30 seconds and did not have to satisfy any dependencies.. this was with a stock workstation install. I'm almost to the point of being insulting.. and I still havent ordered my pizza yet so I'm getting hungry so lets finish this.
Browsing through the rest of the review the author obsesses on what are application problems once again and not the distro.
No distro can have dvd playback and stil be free becuase of licensing and is one of the things that had to be removed from fedora before redhat agreed to merge with it and support it.
Security is once again a valid concern due to the fact of higher up's telling us not to expect timely patches and if we want them to buy WS or ES RHLE which IMO is bull.
Not trying to bash the reviewer but they need to learn to do proper reviews which means not blaming the distro for user error and such and take the time to do it right. IE how does it stack up to RH 9 or SuSE 9 and such.
I dont know what that guy was smoking but please let me have some.
My laptop has been a PITA with Mandrake 9 and 9.1 SuSE 8.2 and Redhat 8x and 9..
Install Fedora
ACPI works Mouse works and it's shutoff button above it. Broadcom 54G wireless works with Linuxant's driver
I couldnt be happier with this setup.
Now my only concern is one email on the list about patches for security will not be high priority and if you want quick patches to purchase RH WS or ES..
We'll I'm not using it for work just personal. And frankly redhat should still provide fedora patches especially security ones ASAP. Otherwise it will give MS more fuel for their security FUD.
now to order a pizza from the couch via my linux laptop!
Becuase you live in springfield does not mean you cant have it.. I know for a fact that all of cingular's towers in your area are all backhauled to St Louis I believe. Wireless carriers are not like the telco with a switch in every town they're all in the major cities for the most part. We just lease loops to those places. All of which has no impact on the ability of Alltel of Cingular to provide E911 or WLNP to anyone in a remote area. If you're told so I'd bring it up with your local FCC office.
AMD has helped prices in the processor market for years but there has not really been a player willing to wage a price war in the graphics card market. Now maybe those 500 dollars cards will come down a bit.
I think the cdr's in question are the ones that the recording material is actually part of the label itself. I bought a spool of those disc's and if you warp them a few times or scratch the label the CD is gone.
Your best bet is to always buy cdr's that have writing that's actually a place where the spray on label they had a stencil in place so you definately know the recording media is embedded into the plastic.
AT&T Called me about a week after the list was turned on.. of course I got the name and number of the person calling me and then explained that I'm on the DNC list. Would believe she freaked out and asked to not be identified or report her company.
I was like "I've been bombarded by spam from all directions for the last 15 years.. it's on my truck, my answering machine, my email and the d**n phone. You bed your telemarketing arse I'm reporting you."
I did however leave her last name out of the complaint but ya know what.. at work if I screw up the FAA can fine me 10k.. they should be just as careful.
I never knew it but Lindows has a good DVD playback software program. I'll even pay for a downloadable version to run on SuSE! I've emailed them several times but they never respond.
I think however that providing a demo will prove the game either is good or a peice of trash. The consumer has a choice here and drives the market.
Having no demo leaves the consumer with little choice to try the game based on impressions that the company gives you. Much like seeing the best parts of a movie before you go to see it only to find out all you needed to see was the preview.
I'm wondering if Sean's ideas will help fight spam. If you used a reverse key that only the sender has that it could verify itself across the network as from them instantly.
Of course this also could lock in email where if you dont use the product then you cant send to any of your friends or new people becuase they're trashing everything else. It would be better if this was a Open Source project where it would be more of a guarrentee that it's available to all operating systems.
Now while losing connectix is not that much of a problem since there are better products out there it appears there is a new trend with MicroSoft.
Apparently they're buying up Linux supporting companies like RAV and Connectix and discontinuing support for it's Rival OS.
I'm sure if I had the money and I bought up every gas station in the US and sold hydrogen fuel only so you'd have to buy my hydrogen burning cars the govt would get involved quickly. Funny how the govt is ignoring what MS is doing now. Guess they wont say anything until MS buys up something they've been using and they're told you cant use it unless you dump Linux and use a MS based OS.
There are just not enough people that require a tablet PC and the price alone 1200 dollar laptop with more horesepower bells and whistles then you have the 2400 1.2ghz model tablet pc. What are you going to buy?
I believe this is for the corporate network. Cant believe they're having such a bad time with spam they're resorting to this. I work for a large 50,000+ company and hardly any spam gets through.
Though we still have idiot employees who send chainletters through the system. Usually showing them the length of a unemployment line and the fact if they do it again they will make that line longer keeps them in line. *kidding* good threat though.
In about a year the first solid state drives will start rolling out. I'm telling you my AMD64 will be silent. Only thing I'll complain about is the waterpump noise:)
For all the good uses alone you are not pusing the platfor. You're just giving the RIAA/MPAA ammunition to get hardware and software vendors to include this TC stuff where we cant do anything at all with the content we purchase. Such as download DVD's and burning to our own DVD's for playback in our OWN dvd players.
NO people like you will cuase it to be where we can download RIAA/MPAA content to only RIAA/MPAA approved PC platforms and copy it to THEIR approved vendor list of high priced and low functionality devices that ruin the whole experience. Thus killing off innovation and better prices.
If a system is capable of knowing of it's imminent demise then it's capable of causing retribution.
Think Matrix and Terminator here please.
Computers should be strictly controlled in what functions they perform and NEVER taught to think like humans. Otherwise these same systems will be capable of what we are. Dont be comforted by cute movies like Bicentinneal man where the 3 rules of robots says not to kill humans. Remember survival instincts will always kick in. Darwinism will apply even if it's a machine.
All of us with 54G laptops with broadcom drivers now have some hope to use our wireless cards in our laptops. It also may spur Broadcom to provide drivers for Linux.
This is similar to saying that we cannot intercept satellite transmissions which the satellite tv companies tried to do to prevent copying. Which the FCC said then we could force them to pay us for their radio waves crossing our property.
Either way what's the point of this.. not letting us tape our shows in favor of forcing us to buy the 100 dollar dvd set later on to turn a better profit?

Lets not allude that non Windows users steal music. I happily pay for software and music when I feel that I need to purchase it..
That may have made them one of the largest deployers of Linux out there.
Ironic isnt it. Course I'd love for them to try getting all those google servers to run IIS

other than conspiracy theory is that MS would love to see Linux dragged through the mud until 2006 when their new OS is released.
Someone also should tell CNN money that MS delayed the sucessor to XP till 2006 not 2004.
