For a layer to put between OpenGL and your OS of choice, SDL http://www.libsdl.org/ is more than OK. It even works on PlayStation 2! Don't know if OpenGL will run on a PS2 though =P
SDL doesn't have a GUI actually, but there are several GUIs made FOR SDL by other people.
Asians are smart. Ne. The downside to using Linux when it comes to typing Japanese is it only works in X. But if you think X is OK (And I do), it only takes a well-written howto and 5 minutes to do so. The process is a little different for Red Hat, Debian etc.
Also, with easy to set up distros like Red Hat and, well, Mandrake (I didn't say easy to USE), more and more idiots can start using Linux... That way, we'll see a more consumer- and government-friendly OS in the years to come.
First of all, nothing's keeping ME on Windows, but it did in the olden days. A few issues were hard to resolve.
First of all, 3D FPSs don't work with my card. 3D drivers on Linux exist for some cards, but certainly not all. In CS, for instance, I have to use software rendering, and the mouse buttons don't work either.
Second of all, soundcard driver options like Microphone Boost and recording from PCI didn't exist for my card. This has been resolved with ALSA.
Printing. Anyone tried printing on Linux? It's a big joke. Yeah I know, the utilities are there, and they work on like 3 printers. Not mine.
Compatibility. Fortunately, Wine works with loads of games, programs, AND my favorite emulator, Gens. So that's not a problem for me.
Also, English is an insanely hard language to synthesize (And Germanic languages in general), because they have all the funny pitches of Chinese with all the logic of George W. Bush.
Languages like Japanese, for instance, would probably be easier to synthesize because you can pretty much use the same tone of voice all the time.
This shouldn't actually mean anything to Microsoft... Since they don't _need_ web pages... An applet can just as easily be run without a web page, and HTML could easily be scrapped altogether.
The problem is hardware makers are in something called the corporate ideomotoric flux... It's a separate universe where you become a kaishain, a corporate slave, and your thinking moves slower, especially the kind of thinking that actually does something.
Well, there's that, and there's intellectual property.
These two issues have lead to device drivers being externalized although all devices could just as easily use the same system functions, and have any extra driver code embedded in the device.
Is it just me, or are the new features just

What's up with configurable themes? I can relate to speed-enhancement, bug-fixes and improvements, but themes? Come on.
No, blame Kaneda!
After all, he destroyed Tokyo.
As for banning of entire nations, well fuck ops. Servers are well equipped to handle floods themselves, and people are free to/ignore anyone they wish. Unless the OP is me, then there should be no ops. =P Actually, I shouldn't have OP either.
Well, as they say in my high school, Microsoft has a dominating market share, so that's what the companies will want you to know.
It's a good point, for reasons that are still unclear to me.
Whenever companies switch to *NIX, that's when they'll start appreciating j00nix knowledge.
My experience is that UNIX displays the incorrect time in any case, if you forget to update it from the hardware clock at every reboot.
I have hwclock -s in rc.local when I feel like it.
This happens regardless of the settings in the kernel (the APM settings).
Well who made the VESA standards anyway? VESA?
I love the VESA modes because they're so (ex)universally compatible, well at least they were.
Even on Linux I can use TV-out because of VESA modes.
Of course you want accelerated drivers, but since cards don't usually have accelerated framebuffers, you need large groups of volunteers to dig up specs for the drivers.
Hmm, here's an idea though, a card that has OpenGL, accelerated vesafb, and nothing else. =P
Hmm... Well, it'll be LEGAL, but there's a difference between legal and legal in a fascist country... =P *Cough*US*Cough*Singapore*Cough*
Anyway, it'll require loads of bandwidth... We're thinking about doing the opposite here, getting a stream of TV Tokyo...
Also, finding a solution for controlling the receiver will most likely be hard. Why bother? The Cheap DVDs mentioned in another post seems to be a better option.
Well yeah, but PINs on products have been in use for years, for example on Microsoft Windows CDs.
I think it's amazing how many people try to patent technology without having invented it.
For example the whole auction system on eBay... Wasn't that really invented by the stock market?
And btw, I just invented washing machines with stickers on them and fridges with stickers on them. So if you have those, please remove the machines and buy new ones from me, as they're my invention. If you want your personal stickers on them, please subscribe to mySticker and I'll attach the stickers you send me in the mail.
They do?
Sugoi ne!
I wonder what their definition of "Central stations" is though. If it's just National etc. I doubt people will be spamming them with SMS messages instead of just checking the timetable;)
Those f*** monitors are just starting to work though. I wish they'd put up more of those.;)
Don't sign. If you feel the need to sue them (Or tell anyone what company it was) later, you'll be glad you didn't sign the contract, money or not.
This kind of contract reminds me of the one the Scientology church would make you sign. It doesn't belong anywhere.

Portable Hubs?

Ahh true!
I'm sorry I didn't think of that.
One quick hack though, is to make several sets of batteries in series - For 12V, for instance, connect a 9V battery and 2x1,5V batteries... Make several circuits like that and connect them in parallel:)
Then the batteries will at least last much longer.
Of course if you can carry a car battery it would be even better;)
Slashdot Mirror
I think it still remains at
http://flapdoodle.org/exeter/ , add a www. for good measure if it doesn't work.
It's a classic, fanmade Star Trek episode!
teaser.mov is part of the episode, and trailer.mov or whatever is the last act.
Go get it!

Information about what? ANy reason we would want to know?

Yokatta ne! Now I won't feel pressured to think positively anymore. Note that I'm healthy :)

What's stopping people from using LinuxPPC, anyway? I thought this was pretty good, though I don't know how the sound support's progressed.

I think you're a declining minority.
Use a battery to power the hub. Essentially, you could probably get a mini switch or hub powerted by 9V, 12V, 24V etc.
;)
Then link batteries of any value, + to - to + to - and so on.
Link batteries of any type until you've got the correct voltage.
Then strip open a power cable that you can slott into the DC input and connect one wire to + and one to -.
Voila
