  1. Re:KDE keeps getting better on KDE 3.1 Alpha1 is Here · · Score: 1

    I agree. I currently use kde 3.0.2, but as soon as the final version comes out I'll emerge it in.

  2. No need for crossover! on Two Towers Teaser Trailer · · Score: 1

    It works perfectly in Xine! First QT movie in Xine that I've seen sound working, actually.

  5. Re:Important note! on Gentoo Linux 1.2 · · Score: 1

    It's a source-based distro. The version numbers mainly reflect the installer :\

    No, how do I intall it in Gentoo?

    How do I install mesa, then?

    The cyc KB itself can't control it, the other parts do the cracking. It just analyzes the results...

  10. X configuration on Gentoo Linux 1.2 · · Score: 1

    Make sure you turn on the glx module - it's near the top. XF86Config dosen't turn it on automatically.

  11. Re:Cutting edge? on Gentoo Linux 1.2 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In addition to what everyone else said, it has an excellent way of upgrading/removing packages. All files installed by a package are md5ed and the md5sums stored with the package. In removal, a file is only removed if:

    1. Its md5sum matches
    2. Its modification time matches
    3. It is not in a directory protected from configuration file upgrades

    Upgrading is done by installing a new version, then afterwards uninstalling the old.

  13. Re:Gentoo rocks! on Gentoo Linux 1.2 · · Score: 1

    The prefix is /usr be default. Info is in /usr/share/info, docs are in /usr/share/doc, man in /usr/share/man. This is what the /usr/share directory is intended for.

  14. Important note! on Gentoo Linux 1.2 · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you already have gentoo installed, there's no need to reinstall. Just do (as root) emerge rsync; emerge --update world Then you'll be on the cutting edge(again)

  15. Article poll? on Physics in the Movies · · Score: 1

    Follow the helix of mnms link. WTF is that asrticle poll? Why haven't I seen it before?

  16. Off topic?!! on Harry Potter, Macrovision and Economics · · Score: 1

    This whole article is about Macrovision! Someone who asks about it isn't offtopic, merely ignorant!

  17. Re:our morality on Artificial Inteligence Common Sense Database · · Score: 1

    It dosen't know any programming language, it can't use a compiler, and it can't use an arbitary TCP/UDP connection. How is it dangerous?

    Well, I started a week or so ago, and had numerous hiccups again. I think I first did it for the Geekiness Factor :) BTW, is the ebuild for kde-i18n-3.0.1 failing for you as well?

    You can write, turn on experimental options. It has a high probability of shredding your disk, though.
