On a side note, I'm a nerd with very few nerd friends, it makes it hard to talk nerdy. I get the impression that all nerds seem to clump together in nerd groups, but then I see people like Justin Franklen (sorry if I misspelled that), it can't be the story that everywhere that nerds don't get out in to the light.
I recently got a 20 Gb iPod and I was considering getting a firewire card for my PC, but I have 3 computers in the house that I store music on and many friends I like to grab music off, only one of the lot has firewire in there PC. So the best solution was to get the USB 2 cable so I could update my music wherever I go and still have the option of using firewire when available.
I'm inclined to believe (due to my own limited experience perusing 3D engine source code) that it'd be easier to convert from DirectX to OpenGL than the other way around, due to certain games using immediate mode in OpenGL whereas with DirectGraphics it's all packed in to Vertex/Index buffers which would be easy to port over to OpenGL using vertex buffer objects or even vertex arrays. In the end, I'm pretty sure someone will have a crack at it and it shouldn't be too hard.
Well what you need to do is inform the people... or just be a cheeky bastard like me and set up your friend's computer to rip to ogg, they all have Winamp icons so she doesn't care as long as they play.
I've had one bad experience with Mandrake using the pre-release kernel for 9.1, I wasn't able to run GDB (it kept saying it could not set a breakpoint) until the latest kernel update (I think about a week ago). Since GDB is critical to development, I'd think they would have ironed out that problem a little earlier. Aside from that I've had no problems at all, it's been great.
You can get direct hardware acceleration in OpenAL under Linux with an emu10k1 class card. I don't know if that justifies the purchase but it sounds good to me.
I can't say how true that is, as I don't know, but my friend is considering moving out of her mechatronics degree even though she acquired a scholarship for it. I think it's more that they feel intimidate in such a feel because there are so many guys who portray themselves as no-it-alls and scare of people who could really shape the future of the industry.
Actually you'd be suprised, I started a CS degree at Melbourne University (in Australia) this year and there's quite a lot of women doing the Introduction to Programming (Advanced), I'd estimate about a 3rd of the people taking it, this also does include people doing various forms of engineering from the engineering faculty and people from the science faculty, but in the end it's women doing computer science. Also the brightest cookie of the lot I've met is a woman, so nrrr to all you disbelievers.
The fact is that the safest bet would be to choose GCC, and this will probably be even more true as time goes on, the best thing for probably both Intel and AMD would be to dedicate engineers to GCC to target there platforms specifically, this could be said for many other CPU developers as well.
So where do they think we store the unlawful material? Yeah I use my two Melbourne uni email accounts to store horde's of illegal music which I distribute through my ring of chain-smoking monkeys.
This is a good site for a rundown of most of the protocol, I believe libMSN is also LGPL and there are many other sources you can find out about or use the protocol from.
Do you play music while you do your day to day things on the computer? I find if i don't enable AGP acceleration (by not running agpgart) I find I get a lot of artifacts in the music.
Since there trying to appeal to cinematic effects, its a valid demonstration, I presume that they work on individual characters like this to great detail.
I moved to Enlightenment because I wanted something simplistic, I'd definitely move back to KDE if they could implement this, it's the innovation they need, but I'm betting it would also have to come with a change in the thought patterns of the application developers. I'm glad someone has there thinking cap on.
Well my mum's Compaq Presario 2815AU (I think that was the model) has a Radeon 7000 based GPU and I believe that's slower than a GF2GO and it has quite good performance, it can play all the games I've tried on it, and considering the Radeon 9000 based GPUs have only come out lately and most notebooks have GF2GO's or Radeon 7000s, nVidia is still in there, I'm sure they'll have something out soon now that GeForceFX has been announced and is being produced.

I would have thought Mozilla Browser (Mozilla Explorer/Navigator?) and Mozilla Mail would be the best names for the long term.

Why do you bother answering this when you know that it is highly subjective/personal, and always will be?
Are you sure its your brother that's the trashy porn collector? ;)

"Then you can expect a HOLY WAR in the offices of those game review companies."
:)
Holy war? I would have thought the reviewers would be too busy with there pants down frothing at their monitors for that.

So that was there plan all along, to emulate the PlayStation 6 in the XBox 3.

Aren't you looking forward to buying 2 TB of RAM? I know I am, now I'm wondering if anyone is willing to give me an advance on the money.

I can't wait until it has a native look for every platform.
So all those other reports of QT or iTunes having ogg were completely fabricated or dellusional?
Will they now... Time to make that script to spam there servers, hehe. Oh wait, that's what slashdot is for.
