  1. Re:Woo Hoo on New Testing Version Of Linux 2.6 · · Score: 1

    There is a hotplugging script for stuff like that, its how I've seen a lot of distros autodetect during install, Knoppix and Gentoo being an example. If you have Gentoo, its I think

    emerge hotplug

    The only thing you need is Support for hotplugging in the kernel.

  2. Re:PowerPC? on New Testing Version Of Linux 2.6 · · Score: 1

    Yes I've had problems with ALSA, it worked just all distorted when playing some songs, it was more apparent in some then others, like Fly By Night by Rush is terrible. When using the OSS drivers everything is a crystal clear as in Windows.

  3. Re:GBA? on Graphics Do Not Gameplay Make? · · Score: 1

    That's different because people know the limit of the graphics is what it is. On a computer however the limit is far beyond what it is on a GBA, and they expect more.

  6. Re:Umm on Ogg Vorbis decoder chip a reality · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yes, well WinModems were designed to be lower cost, yet it didn't end up that way for the consumer. Also HP 820Cse were suppose to be cheaper but it didn't end up that way. What makes you say it's going to be different for these players.

  7. Re:Don't Encourage the Naive on Valve Launches Public Beta Of Steam · · Score: 1

    Actually mod up, Vivendi Corporate Bio. No where on this page does it mention them owning Valve, however it lists the other companies it owns. Also on the About Valve Page does it mention Vivendi owning them. Show me some proof or mod me up.

    Valve Bio

  9. Re:Don't Encourage the Naive on Valve Launches Public Beta Of Steam · · Score: 1, Troll

    You don't know the slightest clue, if you did you would have know Valve is an independent company, and isn't own by Vivendi. Vivendi is their publisher and that is as far as that goes.

  10. Re:Why not open source graphics card drivers on 3DLabs Releases Linux Drivers · · Score: 5, Informative

    In nVidia's case they licensed code from SGI or some company like that. If they GPL'd the code their would be a lawsuit which I don't think they want. Now you could atleast release the spec for the cards , so the community could create its own drivers. That is proabably why many companies don't get involved in Linux for drivers, because the community already made them.

  11. Remainder of Linux Team on 3DLabs Releases Linux Drivers · · Score: 1

    What happened to it, were they fired, or move to some other department?

    Supreme Court by now, it goes against the constitution, then again there an outnumbering amount of Republicans, well we should balence that next election.

  14. Re:Internet on Netscape Founder Says Web Browsing Innovation Dead · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Only on Windows, not only Linux and the other OSs, sometimes its great to be the minority. Maybe there will be some innovation that sends it back to the adware company and blows up their computers.

  15. What they should do on Activision Sues Star Trek Over Franchise Decay · · Score: 3, Interesting

    is to stop trek for about 5 years, fire Berman, and his other buddy, and come back with fresh new ideas. Enterprise doesn't seem bad though, just I wanted it to continue in the future, future not 150 years, though the termporal cold war is an intresting idea so we can have some connection to the future. Though if they did that Activison would still be suing them.

  16. Now why doesn't Adobe port on Dreamworks, Sinbad & Linux · · Score: 1

    Photoshop to Linux, with such a market using Linux I don't see why not. They apparently don't like Macs anymore. Does that mean though that they used GIMP for textures?

    I don't think they are going to outright say it because it would probably be used against them in court.

    The I guess we will be seening churches with computer termnals, mainframes instead of preists, and thermal grease instead of holy water. They are right though, when we are frustrated and can't find something we are always looking to google and pray it will find it.

    You can reprogram the cards and unplug the receiver from the phoneline, and then just reprogram it every month and then you get free Diret T.V. with all the porn channels you can imagine.
