Well what if your browser doesn't _do_ popups or graphics?
No, no, I'm not saying I'm so l33t and I use lynx as my primary browser-not at all. I typically use galeon or mozilla, but often times I'm working on one of the many servers that is Xless and lynx or wget is the quickest way to find and nab something off the net. It keeps the bandwidth down, and efficiency up-illegal? I think not.
YES! I've been waiting for power glove and power pad support in linux. You see, I'm building a mega-mame, and if I ever finish it I'll try to get a plug of it up on/. but neways I was able to get gamecon.c from the linux joystick driver to do my NES/SNES (and soon to be PSX and N64) stuff and for the actual MAME parts of course I'll be using a keyboard hack and real controls.
Now I can add a powerglove! I dunno how I can get it to work with the games, but it'd be a heck of a cool menuing system selection device...
THANK YOU l33t KERNEL[MODULE] DEV'S YOU'RE MY HEROES!
Wow... I don't have money to put toward a CPU upgrade ATM so I'm stuck on 750MHz but I do have a pile of ram and HD (thus mandrake is much friendlier to me than XP, speedwise) and VV in XP typically renders in 1/4 rt for me depending on the compression (typically mp2 in and divx 5.02 out) and tracks and all that...
I'm sure Cinelerra is far inferior, but look at the stacked decks. Sonicfoundry has a full line of awesome products and have been at it for years, and for that reason they make enough money and don't wanna mess with linux.
Cinelerra on the other hand has just started, they are making a lot less money, but they're developing for my fav os!
If sonicfoundry would just listen to us begging penguins and port their stuff (mainly ACID, SoundForge, and Vegas) to linux, heck the cost wouldn't matter, I'd buy it in an instant.
I have an AIW Radeon card, but every time I've tried to get it working right (the capture and tvtuner) in linux, including with GATOS, it hasn't worked. Probably because I'm doing something wrong but don't know what it is.
If you want to share any magic words I'd appreciate it greatly.
... but I don't know if it will be able to win my favor from Vegas Video. Which runs in vmware and sorta in wine/winex. Though I will definitely give this new guy more than a fair chance...
This article does resonate a little bit with me though. I remember the lil game I wrote when I was in middle school. hehe it was a Qbasic text game with (mostly copied from BBS games) ANSI graphics but still.

I'm glad my 386 debian server is frozen into my basement...
Though I have had one computer fire it was due to some idiot using scoth tape to wire in a new fan and without solder at that. I was poking around and bumped one; the tape slid off and the wire, as murphy's law would have it, flew right toward the other wire and hit the only lil bare spot on it shorting out my PS.... oops:D thankfully a fast palm at the power cord was sufficient to extinguish it.
True, it's not an easy to please crowd... C'mon I mean we demand stability and security and all that and we also demand that it's free to copy/hack/distribute.... But at the same time, I notice that lots of linux users dual-boot linux and windows (yes I'm even guilty of this sometimes) and they still buy lots of the latest games for windows... This is the biggest/classic prob w/ linux users and games. Developers don't care because the linux users still buy the windows games because they're "better" (though they'd like them for linux) and they won't make them for linux because linux isn't mainstream enough yet (*WAHHHH*) for a lot of people. I wish I could guarantee a market for you, but I really can't. If some games came out that ran on linux natively I'd probably buy them if I could afford it just to support the cause and prove that we penguins aren't just cheap geeks...(I'm very heavily on the linux side of the software "war" and I'm sure many other/.ers are as well)
I think I have to say if the game was any good and ran on linux, I'd go for it. (assuming your prices aren't like licensing MS Exchange or something;) )
Well I didn't even notice any issues.... I'm using Opera 6.0 here and my string was
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Linux) Opera 6.0 [en]" Is it because it has IE in there? I doubt it... If microsoft really wanted to stop non-ie browsers they'd stop any that said Linux in them first...
Anyway that switching the check box was pretty low... mine was checked unfortuneately I have no idea whehter it was when I started or not:) but it's unchecked now... I love/.
Why do we have to fight it out between ourselves? Cmon I'm cheering for all the linux distros. I use Mandrake mainly but I downloaded RH7.3 and plan to download woody as soon as I can. I think that we really outta be offering rebates to those who switch from windows or something. We (the open source/linux guys) need a bigger user audience. That's why windows remains the popular choice to the masses. All the lil 3rd party apps and oh games... lots of people just want their wintendo. If we had a larger group of linux users we could get more developers' attention and then get better 3rd party games and apps rather then depend on WineX and VMware. That in turn would get the attention of all the mom & pops who just wanna run quicken (go gnucash!) and an internet browser. And the process goes on. Get more users, get more developers, get more users...
I like the ppl @ redhat and mandrake and yeah SuSe too (though I'd like them more if we could download the latest i386 isos *ahem*).
Point is... We should be working together here, not competing, unless this competition will somehow help everybody...
Go Samba!
Though, I've had limited success with the new versions of samba and swat and all (for some reason I had no trouble figureing it out RH6.2 and RH7.2 through config files but my mdk 8.2 still doesn't work quite right) Even with that... SAMBA RULEZ B-)
Amen, get going on RC5 ppl!!! Though, I'm almost convinced we missed the real key and we're gonna have to start all over we're so close. And distributed.net gives those crappy 386's in your basement something better to do than look for ET in there're random dust covered bits.
I suppose that's better technically (maintaining a nice low temp) but for me, I'd rather pay $20 extra bucks for a "better" CPU and install a few "air movement devies" to make me feel like I've got a fast system, just a psychological deal I guess B-)
True, all the fans in my box (which is on 24/7) seem to make it pretty darn dusty but I can live with that since I only open it when I have money to upgrade it and then I clean it out...
I personally see this as a good thing. Celerons and Durons have always been labelled "cheap junk" in my mind. Sure there're not bad, and they're great if you're building a system for someone who doesn't know the difference, but if discontinuing Durons made AMD's others cheaper? I'd go for that...
Really now, does anyone honestly believe a Duron is as a good as an Athlon? I think my Athlon 750 is equal to or better than a Duron 850.
