Try asking a newbie to install a new program then your argument falls to pieces. Asking a newbie to navigate dependecy hell - compile their software - hell, upgrade Mozilla - then you see how difficult Linux can be. In windows, you just click setup.exe. In Linux, you need to go to the command line, type in some obscure cryptic words, then find where on the system the damn thing was installed.
Once installation is as easy click, sit-back, and run. Then I believe people will be sold. Mozilla is the closest to this, but Mozilla isn't the norm.
From the perspective of a casual gamer (I know crap about the industry) - I always thought Sega dropped the ball with Dreamcast. I owned the Dreamcast, then the PS2. I was never really impressed with PS2. The Dreamcast produced such great looking titles, whereas the PS2 titles are all mediocre grainy games (with some exceptions, of course). I would have loved to stuck with Dreamcast, but I always percieved that Sega dropped support plus the brand recognition and hype factor of the ps2 made it much "bigger" than it really was. I view the failure of the Dreamcast not on technical merits, but rather, marketing ones.
I got the karma to burn and after dealing with a very crashy server, I got the angst to burn as well.
I swear . . . you people amaze me. You cry a river over Palladium and litter these message boards with cheers when some country decides to go Linux. You hate Microsoft - yet - when the most user friendly desktop distro is in financial trouble - you scorn them. I mean - wtf? If you believe in the cause and a major leader is having problems - you help them out. You help them out not because you want something in return, you help them out to keep the movement alive. And don't give me this market philosphy bullshit either. If you really believe that shit, stick with MS.
I swear you people are incredible. You cry so much about the DRM thing yet you make it invetiable by turning your back on Mandrake. You're just proving to everybody (including the RIAA, MPAA) that you just want a free lunch. Nothing else. Nothing more.
Go ahead - flame me to death and knock me down to the -1 country. I don't give a shit.
When you watch network television, you are contributing by being an eyeball. The more eyeballs, the more money they charge for advertisers. And where does the advertising money go - back to the studios for actually showing the content. And of course, the studios funnel some of that moula into the MPAA.
Put your energy and time and $$$ into lobbyists who will push your agenda in Washington.
otherwise, cut out your eyes and ears. 'cause, really, there's no way of stopping yourself from putting money into their hands. When you listen to the radio, you are supporting the RIAA via advertisers. Same with network television. a media boycott is just not feasible in a media saturated country (it's one of the US' largest exports)
People like yourself love to complain about the BILLIONS and BILLIONS that NASA is spending, yet you turn a blind eye to the military which last time I checked (and it was awhile ago) they were clocked in a 300 Billion. Nasa spending is tit compared to the rest of the US budget.
IMHO - I don't give a rats ass at how much Nasa spends. I'd rather have an organization blow a few billion dollars on the betterment of human kind, rather than some military complex spending HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS to develop better weapons which in most cases will be used on some third world country.
Sites actually render fine with me. The problem is that I am getting a dll error on startup and shutdown. All themes do not work. Also, when I attempt to install mouse gestures, they install fine but they don't actually work (yes, I shut down Mozilla and restart it)

Computers offer the best and most impressive gaming graphics, besting any other console found on today's market; however as of late we have the PC losing some ground as a gaming platform due to impressive development efforts from the popular console makers; a relatively new system with a powerful graphics card offers the most realistic graphics you'll ever lay your eyes on.
Not satisfied with that, PC gamers are always looking for the next best thing to enhance their visual experience. Some might purchase a flat screen monitor; others may choose a faster graphics card which handles higher resolutions. Now that your system is decked out to the hilt, what's next? Well, companies like eDimensional hope you will eventually add some 3D Gaming glasses to the mix.
3D glasses have been out for some time now, but the technology is getting better with every release. Companies like NVIDIA continue to update drivers to improve the 3D gaming experience, which has many companies believing that some day all gamers will own a pair. So is this really the next best thing, or will this leave you looking like a geek for nothing?
Today I'll be reviewing a pair of 3D glasses made by a company called eDimensional. The company was founded in 2000, mainly focusing on enhancing the multimedia experience. They call their 3D technology E-D, and promise it to supply you with an amazing submersive 3D environment. One of the main reasons I decided to review this product was to see how it compared to the DTI 2015XLS 3D LCD Display I reviewed not so long ago, if you can recall that expensive gadget costs nothing less but $1700.
How It Works
I don't know the technical lingo to explain how 3D works, but I'll sum it up as best I can. Basically, people have two eyes and your eyes see things from a perspective when looking at objects depending on their locations, which is called binocular disparity. One eye sees one side of an object, and the other eye sees the other side. Your brain uses both views to create one three dimensional image. So this means the depth you actually see is just a perception of what the brain thinks it is; it may not actually be the true look of an image. Pretty weird stuff, eh?
Anyhow, the E-D system shows you a two eye view from your computer monitor. The depth-of-field is simulated using shutter-glasses with lenses that can alternate between clean and opaque (blocks light). While using the glasses, a left eye image is first displayed on a computer monitor, and the shutter-glasses left lens is clear, while the right lens is dark. The image on the monitor is then switched to the right-eye view, and the lens of the shutter-glasses is reversed. This switching occurs many times per second, fast enough for your eyes not to notice it. Your brain fuses the separate images together to create 3D. Yes, it's just your brains perception of what the image should look like. Pretty neat how we can trick the brain, don't you think?
Compatibility
The following cards are compatible with the 3D glasses
3DFx Banshee, Voodoo2, 3, 4, or 5
ATI Radeon, ATI Rage
Intel i740, i752, i810
Matrox Millennium G200, G400, G450
NVIDIA GeForce 256, 2, 3, 4, MX, TNT2, Vanta
Power VR Kyro
S3 Savage 2000, Savage 3D, Savage 4
Features and function will differ depending on which type of 3D accelerator your system is equipped with. A compatible game list can be checked at the eDimensional home page. Not all games work on all cards. Now let's take a look at system requirements for gaming.
Windows 95/98/ME and 2000/XP support for NVIDIA chipsets
CRT monitor (no laptops or LCD screens)
Minimum 70Hz refresh rated monitor
Setting Things Up
Installation was very easy, especially with the well written instructions included in the box. Hookup is done through a VGA adaptor that plugs directly into your video card. Your monitor is connected to the output of the adaptor, and your glasses plug into the rear of it. Initial setup took me about 3 minutes, and was effortless. The glasses come in two flavors, wireless and wired version, I've got the latter one.
Next, it's required to install the software included and stereo drivers for your particular card, which can usually be found on the manufactures website or the included installation disk. If you are using a NVIDIA card, I'd highly recommend using the latest drivers available to make sure you have the latest updates for glasses usage. When using a card other than NVIDIA, you will need to install the 'Wicked' drivers included on the disk. After completing the installation process, a system reboot is required.
The software installs an applet found in your display panel properties, which can be accessed through the advanced button. Here, you can turn on/off 3D and assign hotkeys that will enable you to define different settings to enhance your 3D experience.
Here are the specifications of the system I used the glasses with:
Intel 2.4GHz Pentium 4
Epox 4BDA2+ Motherboard
Visiontek Geforce 4 Ti4200
Philips 109s Monitor
Windows XP
Entering the 3D World
The glasses are relatively comfortable, and seem to be well constructed. The package comes with 2 different sets of bows for different sizes of heads to ensure a good, comfortable fit. I would defiantly advice of wearing in a dark room, with nobody in sight, because they are sure to ignite a little bit of harassment due to the nerdy look (my kids tore me apart). After testing, I dropped them a few times to check for strength, and they didn't break.
The entire installation process was quite simple, and the hotkeys make tweaking the settings very convenient. The first game I tried was Jedi Outcast, which is an Open GL based game using the Quake 3 engine. I checked the game list, and fired the game up. One thing you need to remember is that your monitor might not support stereo 3D with the same resolutions and refresh rates you'd normally use, so try starting low and increase as you go on. I found the 3D effect to be simply amazing; these glasses provide the best 3D images I have ever seen on a PC, including those output by the DTI 3D LCD I reviewed in the past.
The images looked very cool, and I spent about 10 minutes gawking at my new surroundings. After playing around with Jedi Outcast, I was ready for more. I checked the supported game list, and just about every game I had was listed there.
There is a very nice selection of supported titles, and also a link to request a game that's missing from the list. I chose Motocross Madness 2 for my next adventure, notably because it's based on Direct3D and wanted to see how that worked. The 3D images looked great here too, especially after a bit of tweaking. Overall, these glasses are very easy to use and offer beautiful 3D environments for every game I launched.
After going through about 20 different games, my feelings from the beginning have not changed. Racing games look impressive, and flight simulator 2002 looked incredible. These glasses make PC games fun again and actually kept me glued to it for quite sometime (which is not an easy task due to the Xbox sitting right next to my computer). It takes a lot to impress me, and this product really did.
Final Thoughts
The first thing to remember is that if you are using Windows 2000/XP, be sure you have an NVIDIA based card, of it will not work. Like I said previously, the glasses are well constructed and are comfortable at first. After a while, they became a bit uncomfortable around my nose, mainly because the relatively hard plastic resting on the bridge. I don't wear glasses, and rarely wear shades so this might just be a getting used to thing. The cord isn't really an issue, but if you have the extra cash for the wireless, it would be nice. The cord could have been a little longer; you might have problems if your tower isn't close by.
Also notice 3D images on computers are not perfected. As good as they look; they are still a little blurry but that's not to say they don't look unbelievable. The 3D images are amazing, and will definitely add some spice to some of your favorite titles. I'd say if you want 3D, then these glasses are the best thing on the market, hands down.
In the other hand it's just not something I would use with every game. When playing a racing game by myself, sure, but when playing Quake 3 online, forget it. Frame rates drop considerably, so you end up playing at lower resolutions. Lower resolutions mean graphics don't look as sharp.
Overall, eDimensional glasses offer excellent 3D, and the $69.00 price tag is pretty reasonable especially compared to 3D monitors which cost in excess of $1500! I really liked them better than the 3D monitor, but I don't know how much I will really use them. For you this might be different, but this is just how I feel. The glasses are also said to work with DVD titles, you just need to purchase additional software to witness this (which I did not). To sum it up, if you're looking to add a little zing to some computer favorites, these 3D glasses will deliver.
Now all we need are stickers to put on guns which read, "Don't shoot people" and then we can get rid of all that pesky gun control legislation. (note: I'm in favor of all that pesky gun control legislation)
I hear they are selling tablets for a 1.99. It's got some amazing features - handwriting recognition, cheap storage, and best yet, it can be instantly shutdown without any loss of data. It's lighter than MS versions and runs without a sound. Of course, there's a catch. You have to buy a stylus - it doesn't come included which kind of sucks because sometimes the stylus costs more than the tablet itself. It's called "Notebook" or "Notepad". A special edition will quickly follow called "journal" or something. It will be selling at all major stores, not just computer stores. Wow. Sign me up.
Here's a something related to chew on . . . especially after last nights election results.

I've been using Mozilla for over a year now and for the life of me, I still can't access anything via. https. So, I have to open IE to do anything secure forms. I've read that I must do a complete install in order for this to work which I do, but still no dice.
Actually, it's not smart business sense. Here's the deal - if the show does wonderfully well and they decide to hire everyone back - now they got to wrangle all the original creative talent who will probably want way more money who are most likely committed to other projects. It'll probably take a year or longer to produce new episodes. And by the time those new episodes have hit the market, chances the public will have since long moved on.

First off, thank you for asking this question. Some of my frustrations with Slashdot is that some of "obvious questions" can result in a good old fashioned hosing, so I commend your bravery where my mine so clearly faltered.
Now, my appendment to the question is this - we're getting two highly moderated threads with each one contradicting one another:
aburnsio.com writes "Note that journaling your filesystem only keeps the metadata intact, not the file data itself. You can still loose data, such as the contents of a document you were editing but had not saved."
whereas rgmoore writes "In addition, if the system journals all data instead of just metadata (as most journaling systems seem to do) it will prevent data loss, too."
So my question to the community - not the authors - which one of the two are correct?

Downloaded it, cleared out 1.1, installed it. And bam - I'm getting errors from dlls. Themes don't work. Updates don't work. Dlls errors reporting on close.
So I wipe it, put on 1.1 - no problems. Back to 1.2 - problems. I downloaded several different versions of 1.2. Nothing helps.
Note: I've never had problems with Mozilla before. It's disappointing. Back 1.1 for me.
