Can't wait to download and test SELinux, which should work out of the box. It's disabled by default, but you should be able to enable it by adding add "selinux" to the install line when installing.

The driver is at least as fast as the binary driver from ATI.
"I have Nvidia's drivers and I can tell you they are a billion times better than the Xfree nv driver."
Please READ and UNDERSTAND what I wrote. Nvidia doesn't release specs. Reverse engineering is not easy. ATI on the other hand does release specs and the GPL driver I use is very fast. I have never tried ArmyOps but Quake3 was very fast. I don't really give a damn if it performs 20% or whatever the number _might_ be slower as long as the source is under GPL.
Well writing a driver should be pretty simple. Get the specs from the hardware maker (ohh that's right nvidia don't provide those). Try upgrading your graphics card to one from a company that releases specs, like Ati does. I know I know there is more to it that what the eyes sees but I'm just saying that I have a very decent GPL driver for my Radeon 8500.
But really, when has writing a driver been the problem of the users of the card? The hardware maker should provide those. They have always done that. For Windows a binary driver is the standard, for Linux it is not.
Well the Linux kernel was released under the GPL for a very good reason I think. The reason Linux or GNU/Linux if you will has been so succesful today in my opinion is not because it's better, It's because of it's license.
If you really want the "freedom" you're after, then why don't you run freebsd?
And the remark about "people gotta eat" is wrong in so many ways. Proprietary software is _NOT_ the only way to make money... And what we are talking about here is a freaking driver, not a Word processor or some huge software package.
Why encourage binary-only drivers? I like it the way it is, the hardware makers really has to go to great length to make binary-only drivers. We should really strive for a completely free operating system, not just free apps and binary drivers.
I feel that using binary-only drivers is a bit like cheating on the goal line. You know you've won but it just doesn't feel right because you cheated.
" Buy it. It is products like these that are important to the Open Source community."
What have they ever done for the Open Source community? Not like Lindows that actually gives back to the community (reiser, gaim).
Sigma (the chipmaker of the gfx used) has a very long history of _not_ complying[1] and even releasing specs[2] for their hardware. So if you want to "support" Open Source I would recommond not to buy anything with these sigma chips!

Seems the author of the review did not read the README, which clearly states that installing to HD i experimental. Snooping around on the mailinglist one can see that some work has been done in this area and that a new preview is on it's way.
You can't "prove" anything by an example. The compiler probably could optimize that one easily but with larger and more obscure code chunks it might not.
The reason why t++ is slower is because it might have to make a temporary while ++t never has to. Please read exceptional c++ for a the details.
Ohh yuah I forgot the worst movie. Clearly The Matrix Revolutions. Damn how can they ruin such a good movie series? The last movie was a plot-wrecking, action pa(tch/)cked, superman-like movie that made the first two excellent _no_ justice at all.
I must say that I was very possitively suprised by Mystic River. I had semi-high expectations and it lived up the them and even more.
That said I'm not sure if it can rivel LOTR ROTK. ROTK is very good, but I think it was cut considerable, seing that the extended edition of the movie is going to be minimum 4:50, that 1:30 movie extra! There were several parts that need some more justification, like Saruman and the Elrond's daughter/Aragon relationship.
This is very interesting concept, image someone setting up a bounty server for free software (in general) where people could donate money to bounties on any free software project and hackers could claim the money ones they've solved it.

Freedom comes first, everything else is secondary.
Thank god I bought a Neuros so I don't have to care about this :)
It's more or less the same. The X.org is just a branch of Xfree 4.4rc3 before the license change.
If you want bleeding edge try the freedesktop X Server.
Is this the third hole in cvs in a very short amount of time?

What is the release codename? Fedora Core 1 was called yarrow.
Just as Homer would have said: "Mmmmmmmmmmmh chocolate".
Install a free alternative like ffmpeg.
It is: gtkmm.
Like WinMX, Wincommander and what not?
That is because you use the -u flag. If you leave that out it will only update gaim or whatever you were updating.

He was repeating himself in danish also. He wanted to stress that they didn't steal the code.

Wasn't 5.2RC2 just released?

It's faster to do: for (time = 0; time length; ++time)... ;)

Anyone seen Antitrust?
