It doesn't print with CUPS. I've tried for ages but it can't see my printer even though all my KDE apps do. Anyone know if there are any moves in this direction?
You can do that now. There are both RPMs and DEB packages available. There's a windows version too. Instrument approaches are near perfect, the only problem at the moment is that the active ILS is on both ends, but we are working on that.
There are only two libraries, but you need to get your OpenGL hardware accelleration going. You just get the latest stable SimGear and Plib. Then the 0.7.8 FlightGear and compile it. The stable versions do work. I'm a FlightGear developer and I use CVS which occasionally breaks, but otherwise there shouldn't be too many problems getting it to go.
To drop the visibility, I think the key is Z/shift-Z. 0.7.8 has the older panel, but the it's quite a bit better than the one in MSFS 98, and the new panel in CVS is even better. Keep away from the hills!:-)
BTW I'm going to start a website about flying in FGFS when I get time.
Another words, he has it set up to not reply to pings. The next step would be some type of stealth port scan to find out what sort of firewall he is using.
Okay thanks to those who informed me a bit more about the Radion cards, but I was also wondering if there are any projects to write Open Source drivers for the NVIDIA card? Why can't we reverse engineer 3D accelerated drivers for it? It seems like an ideal thing to do.
It seems to me that the only reason they didn't use a NVIDIA card which is far superior to the ATI Radion is politics of free-beer vs open source. I'm as much of an open source zealot as the next person on/., but I wouldn't never think of using any other than a NVIDIA card at the moment. Pitiful really....
Personally I can't feel any major differences in the C172 flight models of Flightgear or X-Plane, but flightgear does require more data to get the flightmodel correct.
I personally think FlightGear is better. It's not finished, but there are aspects of the XPlane simulator that I don't think are right. For instance the clouds look 3D, but in certain circumstances you can see that they aren't really. There just some other inconsistancies that tell me that the've tried to make it look as good as they can, but the underlying stuff isn't that good.
With the FlightGear project, we are putting in the time to do it right. We will eventually have autogen and stuff like that, but we will do it better.

That would be pretty cool - they could call it an "Alternative Energy" section, but only post plausible stuff like converting Biogas to electricity, etc.
If they ever get it to work properly, Freenet distributes the hosting of web sites in a way that is un-slashdotable, and more popular content works faster. It could be used quite effectively by news networks, but advertising could be problematic.
Why don't they add it to the kernel as an option? This way if your machine runs multiple services or is workstation, you just set the option to on, but if it only does one thing, set it to off.
I do remember there is a project to make a streaming version of OpenDivX. This could be used. You would probably need a laptop to do the encoding, or a phone powered by a Transmeta chip or something.
My set up for doing something like this would be a Digital Camcorder, running into a laptop encoding it to DivX, then to the satelite phone, preferably with two or more sat phones load-sharing a multilink PPP connection.
It's probably not as portable, but if they were working out of the hotel that is being used by the foreign journalists(and is not a target) what else would you need. If you were running around the streets(and risking your life) to look at damage, then you would use the video phone, and record something, then broadcast it at higher res.
ROFL!!! Redhat, "Slack Ware" and Storm Linux are previous versions? Something tells me you don't know what you are talking about. Something tells me you are just a stupid Microsoft employee. In fact something tells me you may be Bill Gates himself. You are dumb enough to be him!
And what has this got to do with Rockets? And before you troll us about "wasting time" on Linux, why did you waste time to write all that? Or did you just copy it from someplace else?
I second that. I submitted a request against the package wnpp a while back but still haven't heard anything. Why can't it be released as part of Debian?
1. I can run all the gnome apps I want under KDE
2. Kmail and Konqueror are the best in their respective categories.
3. I don't want a User Interface that looks like someone threw up.
Um - it's already happening. The GIFT project has been working on an open source implementation of the Fasttrack network. It was working until Fasttrack changed their encryption system to lock us out. Now we are working on a new system like Fasttrack that will be totally free and much better than Kazaa/Morpheus.
There is also Freenet you can try which is totally unstoppable.

BTW you'll need two high mountains, or a relay somewhere.

I'm not sure of the exact speeds yet, but we are going to be experimenting with using laser for linking APs in Brismesh. Here's some links:

That last link explains how to get around the modulation problems that can slow down standard laser diodes. You find some of these links useful.

Yes but does it do all those fancy GPU functions like Vertex Shading, etc. Polygon fill rate isn't everything.

Because KHTML is better than gecko.
Why do we need heaps of different browsers? Why don't they just contribute to the KHTML library? Konqueror is far better. :-P

Nice Icon for cryptography, I haven't seen that one before. They must be upgrading all the topic icons to newer ones.
