I'm not sure how a giant red center to a coin that is EXTREMELY visible qualifies as NANO technology, named so, because it exists on the NANO scale, which is to say, extremely not visible.
I'm really starting to wonder about the "Nano" techology industry in the US.
You know what the next step is? Some young enterprising fellow will develop a truly shit encryption/content protection scheme based on the ASCII code for 'the' (74 68 65) and then sue anyone under the DMCA who uses the word 'the'. They are illegally distributing his encryption key, merely encoded/interpreted in a different format, ASCII.
which is ironic since that would be again slashing at rights in their own country, and b) since as the US looses more rights one has to question at what point they themselves cross the threshhold of human rights abuses and google can no longer maintain key servers in hte US either. Some would say already.
Wow
This is a blatent plug for Symphony OS.
And all this revolutionary everything on the desktop shit. Already been discuessed elsewhere and dismised. Making everything glued to the bottom of yuor screen is a pain in the ass since whenever you want to use it you have to minimize everything else. It sucks usability wise. Much better to have omnipresent panels that are small, unobtrusive, but always available.
Also, this will further break when more 3d like things start happening to the desk top. What if you have a real 3d desktop and your wallpaper is "all the way back there" but all the important apps are also "way back there" instead of up front
As a linux user, I had to use MacOSX ay my aunts house while house sitting. I hate the interface. It only servered to get in my way. It was very pro doing one thing at a time, and made it very difficult to multi task.
Of course being a linux user, I'd also prefer cheaper ahrdware, so unless you already had PPC hardware, I'm not sure why people would buy soem to put Linux on when x86 is here and cheaper.

Doom Movie Update
·
· Score: 1
The plot 'wrong teleportation gate opened - monsters arriving' has been overused though
Maybe, but I think iD can be allowed to use it since they were the first ones to use it in a game. It's their thing. Doom. Early 90s. Anyone remember. I'm tired of people talkig about hom Doom3 is recycling other people's ideas, or it's ripping of HalfLife or some crap. They were there first. If anyone can do it, they can.
As for not using hell, thats just retarded. There aer plenty enoguh fans who want to see it just the way it is. Turning it into some mutated zombie movie is just lame. There are enough of those out there already (now talk about over used ideas) and by doing this you will have also lost all the original Doom fans. This movie will flop because it will apeal to no one. At least keeping the original plot you have millions of Doom fan boys (myself included) who will go see it. Now I don't even know if I will, and by carrying the Doom monicker, most other people won't see it either.
Bah. This sucks. I was looking forward to this too.
Maybe there is content in Halo2 that will be unlocked then?
Anyone try setting theri xbox system date to feb 10 2005 and beating it again?

I would imagine part of the reason they require a g5, is because apple's hardware is all tied together and they hay have taken a look at the other things tied to g4s and seen insufficent video cards. I would imagine top of the line video cards are coming out with the top of the line systems. The g4 has somewhat become the apple "budget" system as it is no longer top of the line. So they just decided to target the g5.
Besides, it is a way more powerful cpu, and doom3 does need some cpu power. Lets face it. There are a lot of macs out there that just aren't that powerful.
finally, if they did target g4s which are 32bit, when the binary was run on a g5, it wouldn't be able to take advantage of the g5's better architecture as much. By targeting the g5, specifically, they can get the most out of it, at the cost of dropping g4 support, which isn't that bad because likely the game would run like crap on one anyway.
Lets face it, ppc and macos are not the ideal gaming environment. You want better? grab some x86 hardware and put linux on it. You can do alot, like doom3. You want a dedicated game machine never to be used for anything else?:: shudder:: then put windows on it. That is sadly when the gaming is at.
Sure... wait... It has to be powerful enough to run windows?
Like hell. New versions of linux have less ssytem requirments than windows XP which is like 2 or 3 years old. Wait till longhorn gets here. How can they expect people to be able to buy cheap computers when their OS is so inefficent and such a resource hog. Maybe if they actually did some competent programming and made their os sane and fast, but as it stands, if you buy a cheap PC and want it to work well, you should put linux on it. Not to mention the $300 windiows tax would triple or quadrouple the price of the computer. How the hell do they think this makes sense?

If it's that we up here in canada can contiune to share files unsued, than thats true:)
I'd actaulyl think the code might have been touched. The timing of the hack is interesting because it is so close to a release. If I was going to try and plant something I'd wait until just before it goes out the door in a mssive release. Less chance of getting caught and biggest dispersal oppurtunity. Sigh
hehe
they kind of are. Windows XP is from like way back in 2002:P
Mean while I'm running a linux kernel that was released less than 2 weeks ago.:: shrug::
or if enough move away to something else or something new windows could be made to support it (they can make you install drivers remember) and fat will just stop getting used for this stuff.
Its a gambit. Still, everytime they take these gambits they move closer to the point of no return. Each step a few more people move away, and one day critical mass will be achived and then they'll be dead.
I've seen lots of grumblings about this, but lets think for a moment.
Why should they be obliged to supply a windows version.
Its software developed for unix. Windows is a big difference and porting to it is no fun (I know). If its not fun, why give it away for free. So they're currently only selling it. Looks like a proccess. If they don't make enough money to makeit a viable option they'll probably just dump windows support entirly.
From the unix front they get lots of useage and thus advertising of a sorts, what with kde and all the related apps. But free stuff for windows using qt hasnt really caught on, so why bother supporting such a hassle.
Its their work to do with as they will
they were supllying a free service and it didn't work out for them
don't harp on them
Don't like it? the current code is gpl
fork it yourself and continue developing it if you all really care
the point is that probably no one cares enough and it won't happen, which is why I think they've largly abandoned it.
The difference again being popularity of platform. If they stopped new release of the gpl unix versions, someone, most likely the kde group, would pick it up and keep it going.
I think somethinggs wrong when france has way fewer language laws than quebec, where its only one of two official languages. Hell, a few years ago france made the language its airspace english. Meanwhile now you can't even sell video games in quebec that aren't in french boxes. When their motherland is less restrictive and more open than they are, and they're merely an offshoot, one wonders why bother. This all seems so silly and facsist
mmm... The kernel will be hacked up into an exo kernel... less than a micro kernel... it simply provides some hardware abstraction. All the API a program uses comes from OS libraries that sit ontop the exo kernel. So you can have as many APIs running at once. Currently journyos seems to have two oslibs planed. infinity, which will be as said, proprietary, and departure, which will be a posix/linux libos, i think with the goal of running linux binaries even maybe.
So you're real beef is with infinity libos and i believe when they say proprietary api, they more mean, their own api, not mimicking anything thats already out there. Departure will do that. And I believe they eventually plan on looking at writing a windows libos as well. This would mean you could run linux and windows apps side by side in the same os, as well as infinity/journyos apps
whats worse is that it really doesn't affect joe shmoe set worker. They don't get paid royalties. Only the big rich actors and directors. The little guy gets paid to work and when the movie is done filming, he's done. What happens to it in theaters and after has NOTHING to do with him. He's already working on something new. So those ads seem like blatent lies to me.
They say I could get viruses like... nimda! Well, maybe I'm remembering wrong, but wasn't nimda an IIS worm? I don't think I can get it by filesharing. Isn't that pretty much a lie (and the moment I close my browser window)
Further... filesharing under linux? even less likely to contract a virus... I dunno... sounds largly full of shit to me.
FUD anyone?

Basically it all comes down to the emerge tool.
Every use a BSD? Well portage is based of the ports of BSD's. The easiest way to locate packages is to navigate hte directory structure of/usr/portage. They're grouped appropriatly. Or you can search from anywhere with 'emerge -s pkgname'. Once you find what you want, you can either emerge it from anywhere with 'emerge pkgname', or you can hop over to it's directory in portage and name one of the.ebuild files to get the exact version ala 'emerge pkgname.version.ebuild'.
