This is one of the few reasons I still dual-boot: video. Playing and encoding.
Windows has DirectShow. Like it or not, sometimes having standards foisted upon you is a good thing. I can install a codec (DivX, XviD, 3ivX, whatever) and know it will definately work in my video player. Oh, and it's hardware accelerated, too. Without any fuss.
To play videos, I use BSPlayer, with the OS X skin. Great interface. In spite of the skinning, it behaves like a normal Windows application. It has a title bar. I can click on it to focus the app and raise the window. Anything that can't be done through the main box can be done through two well layed-out menus, accessible by right-clicking on either the playing window or the control box. The OSD messages can be moved around. In fullscreen mode, there's nothing cluttering the screen, but all the controls are either a mouse-click away, or will spring up by moving to the bottom edge of the screen.
Oh, did I mention it has reconfigurable key bindings for almost all actions, not to mention a powerful command-line interface?
For DVD playing I still have to use a non-freeware app. But PowerDVD XP works extremely well. I must admit, I've never bothered trying to play DVDs in Linux. But I hear that Xine actually handles DVD menus, so I might have to try it sometime.
As for encoding, the same holds true for codecs as with playing. I can launch up any one of several apps (mainly VirtualDub) and I have all my encoders at my fingertips. I can configure everything through a GUI. If I'm not sure what something does, I just hover my mouse over it for a second.
Once Linux has a) a common codec interface, and b) *good* player and encoder apps, I'll have one less (major) reason to use Windows. But maybe BeOS will get there first.
No reason at all. The/. blurb makes it sound like they are actually using hidden checkboxes. They aren't. If you read the article, you'll see that it is simply a scrolling list of checkboxes. Presuming they don't hide the scrollbar, this is perfectly acceptable behavior. If you don't know a scrollbar means some stuff is hidden, you probably shouldn't even... well, I digress. The point is, this is a perfectly normal and acceptable programming practice. Case closed.

That is PRECISELY what needs to happen. America, and indeed, the world, would be a MUCH better place if people would just take responsibilty, instead of always looking for someone/thing else to blame their mistakes on.
Uh, I think you missed the point. PHP now has the potential for much broader use a a general shell scripting language, instead of mainly as a server-side web scripting language

What did you do to wash the vasoline off your hands?
Soap.
Or buy the GBA games that you want, download (or rip) the game ROM, and play it on an emulator.
Hm...
Buy? What is this "buy"?
All I want is a software RAID 5 array that I can use in both Windows AND Linux. Maybe it's possible. I dunno. I've never found any instructions.
Remember kiddies: slow ass microsoft support is still considered better than asking about linux and getting flamed in an "open" forum.
You should try Gentoo. The Gentoo forums are refreshingly nice and helpful.
Imagine booting your computer in 3 seconds. Now that would be progress.
Bah. My Commodore 64 was doing that 15 years ago. And it used ROM. I've never lost my copy of the C64 OS.
They don't claim to have perfect synchro.
That's no good. Variety is the spice of life, you know.

I'd wager that a modern Ghz+ would emulate a 6502 and subsystems at a speed greatly outpacing a actual 20Mhz 6502.
Maybe, maybe not. See here for details.
Some folks are kind enough to help us see that distinction by refering to it at DivX ;-)
;-) only refers to DivX 3.11, which this box won't play. So that doesn't help at all...
DivX
And you know, that is actually very few people on Windows...
Well, some of the people who can do so are sharing their work.

Snail-mail or phone calls are the only things that'll make a difference.
Why would this be illegal?

This is what I do at Subway at lunch. Then I rush back to Slashdot.
Ah, yes, but does your hamming integrate streaming audio?
Someone else has already tried this, folks. And done a great job so far. It's called Yoper.
whois for musiccdsettlement.com

Looks legit to me.

I think this would be especially helpful when trying to mod an article that has been up for several hours. I'll join you. ;D

No need. It's already dead...
Can somebody who got it put it up on KaZaA and post a sig2dat here?
Speaking of alternative desktop environments, take a look at SlicKer. Right now it's mostly conceptual, but it looks like a GREAT idea.
Um, what about the change from Windows 98/2000 to Windows XP? It looked somewhat similar, and acted mostly similar, but there were a LOT of changes.
DirectX doesn't support cars
Hmm... well, I knew that, but I guess some people might not... Thanks for clarifying!
