It's what's been keeping me fom buying an iPod - actually it's what's been stopping me from buying an mp3 player that costs more than £20
I know the Karma (rip) and one of the sony players does it - but the karma had flaky hard drives and the sony (IIRC) needed the crappy sony software.
This just might swing the balance now. I had thought about a san-disk as rockbox would possibly bring out gapless playback - but in the meantime i guess Apple may now get my cash.
Yeah i've installed *all* the drivers - even tried different partitions with Xp & beta drivers etc etc... do you have an nvidia Graphics card as well? i've an Asus board/64 X2 3800+/Nvidia 7600 card.
there are other people on the anandtech/steam/BF2 forums with the same problem.
If you're thinking of buying an AMD64 X2 for gaming and intend to put the chip in a motherboard with the Nvidia N4 chipset beware... Myself and several others have had problems with both Battlefield 2 and Source games (CS:S, day of defeat etc)
Very annoying.
Now i'll get lot's of replies from folks with this setup telling me otherwise....
Having only quickly looked at the site this morning...
They are either another member of FON, or have paid to use your connection.
So surely it's the same if someone did those things at starbucks/McDonalds etc etc
If the police find a handbag with one of our library cards - we phone the patron and tell them that the police have their handbag etc
we don't give the info out.
If it's anything like my mum then it has to be Windows i'm afraid.
Yes Ubuntu or another noob distro
(No disrespect meant, i use Dapper) would solve the virus/malware problem - but my mum wants to learn how to use a pc. She can learn Windows for Free at the local library &or community centre. If she wanted to learn linux she would need to pay for books and wouldn't have anyone but myself to ask about it.
Maybe one day, but for lots of people in the same boat it has to be Windows.
The first couple of USB pen drives i owned had read/write tabs ala 3 1/2" floppy. The last couple i've owned haven't. I know virii nowadays aren't the copy themselves across media type, but still i always thought it was a nice feature.
Well i'd lose 12yr old americans stabbing me in the head and calling me n00b at counter strike. That's a plus... The reflexes ain't what they used to be. Why did I take up FPS aged 36?

>>are you qualified to judge lindows
lets see shall we:
Duds (100634)
speculatrix (678524)
yip - Duds has a lower id number therefore is more qualified to judge.
I love science...
If this is implemented then I wonder how long before the UK Government starts handing over the info to the US Government... just like the flight data.
The US surely needs this when i'm deciding to go there on Holiday..
Are the French Government subsidising this in anyway?
if not, what has the French unemployment rate got to do with anything?
Chandler is that you?

*hmm* that will teach me to be a sm@rtar$e..
the preview button is there for a reason i guess.

>>Did you see the picture of the CEO on the front of Wired?
err - he's Rupert Murdoch. If he wasn't going to "make millions off of that company" he wouldn't of bothered with it.

Do you object to your wife\girlfriend using other vibrators or just that one?
I'm gonna give it a go to see if Counter Strike:Source & Battlefield 2 will run.
They both hang on XP pro using my Asus Motherboard & AMD64 X2 3800.
A problem a few people are having.
Assuming the Nvidia drivers etc all work.

Wasn't it Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters that drank the laced Kool-Aid, not Tim Leary? Though Leary may have used it as well...
See Tom Wolfe's `Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test` for more info
Personally I stopped taking LSD when my mates mum was talking to me one Xmas Night and she appeared to have a wasps head *shudder*
Not much, it's a built in flight sim.
You can get similair functionality in Linux by installing FlightGear...
i'm *really* confused by your post.
Are you trying to say a separate partition for swap is or isn't needed?
I don't think he's moaning about "doing the time" he's just complaining about being treated as a "terrorist" and all the fun that involves.
Jail time - fair enough. Guantanamo Bay, perhaps not...
This is offtopic but i'll post anyway.

Isn't guitar music on the way out Mr Epstein?
>>true gapless playback
apparently only you and I are the only people who want this.
If it wasn't for the wheel snapping off issue i'd get a karma off of ebay.
I've had loans of various friends mp3 players and the ever-so slight gap annoys the hell out of me.
Rio RIP
Instant Gratification takes too long....
This is why i still come back to slashdot.
(who am i kidding? how many times can you hit F5 at work...)
Among all the tripe, hype and trolling you still get someone who REALLY knows their stuff!
