Gotta love that twelve month lag. It's all due to the stupid notion the pocket market has, that you don't upgrade the OS on a handheld computer.
If Palm had decided to support upgrading the OS as it were released, I would have been running OS 6.0 on my Tungsten T3 as early as possible. It's not like when Windows XP came out that people had to wait twelve months for a computer to get it preinstalled. The pocket market is fucking bullshit.
Digital Negative Gonad. Why couldn't the file extension have been DN? Is DN already taken or something? Or couldn't they have used NEG? That would make the most intuitive sense.
ATI has failed to work with Cedega for quite some time now, and the Cedega team say they're working with ATI to resolve the issues.
With enough luck, perhaps this new "push" will resolve some of the other issues like this. I'd hate to think that Doom III is the only thing on their minds when Cedega and Xorg support both need some serious work on their part.
Recently? I received the original radio series on CD as a present years ago. So long ago, in fact, that I've had time to lose one of the CDs, and will have to buy it again (argh!)
They don't have to, do they? They just have to know that an 11 is faster than a 10, and that a 12 is faster than an 11. You can't use a linear scale, because in a year and a half, the top would be level 20. Then in another year and a half, it would be level 40. After a few more of those, the level is changing so often that it no longer helps. "Umm... I have a level 3,000 CPU with a level 3,793 graphics card. Will the game work?"
Thanks for saving me a post. Retards who spout crap like "could care less" are the worst kind of scum, the kind you can't get off the shower when you need to.
Maybe if I put this data externally somehow. e.g. BitTorrent doesn't let me put my email address on the file, so I can put it on a web site where I share the torrent. But what about Kazaa and the like? Put my email address on a web site, saying that I'm So-and-So user ID on Kazaa? Asking for hacking, I'd say. Not to mention the spam you're gonna get when every harvester in the world starts picking up these addresses.:-)
The main issue here is that for "any Linux software" to work, you either need to statically compile it up-front, or you need all the right versions of all dependencies... or you compile it from source.
But I'm hoping that something like GoboLinux eventually ends up with your "easy installation" paradigm.
At the moment, a set of gobo scripts can fairly easily any app which uses the familiar "./configure && make && make install" mechanism. Applications once installed end up in directories by themselves in the application directory. The only real things missing here are (1) ability to more easily put things wherever you want, instead of in just that one directory, and (2) a quick drag and drop feature which runs the scripts when you drag the.tar.gz into that directory.
Where it falls down is that not everyone uses autoconf, because some people have started to realise that it sucks dick. I would be interested to hear ideas of how things could be properly bundled to work on multiple operating systems, complete with their own instructions for installation. Perhaps store ebuilds inside the tarball?
Right, yeah. I just noticed that they have them for www.ipv6.org. But I went to the site via ipv6.org... so... oh well. Guess I just wouldn't have got the AAAA records for that one even if I wanted to.:-)
That's the cruel thing. ISPs will certainly try to get away with allocating only one address and charge for more, and since IPv6 addresses cost less than IPv4 addresses, they will take all the profit.
Never fear, Doom 3 is only about 15 hours of gameplay on medium difficulty anyway. Do what I did, and finish it over half a week of evenings and a Saturday morning. Doesn't interfere with work at all, except that I swear to god there are zombies in our kitchenette.
You make a good point about moving parts. The lack of moving parts is why I'm happy to carry my current GBA-SP around with me everywhere, with only a thin rubber case protecting it. If I drop the thing on the ground (which has happened from time to time), even without the case, it just clatters, and doesn't break.
Now add a disk drive. Something tells me dropping a PSP the same distance to the floor would not be as pleasant.:-)
The way the PSP has sticks instead of a D-pad doesn't bode well for its resilience either. I imagine that sooner or later, a stick will snap off in someone's bag, and there will be no way to replace it like you can replace a single controller.
I seriously hope they don't. The last thing the industry needs is more developers shafted by a company who change their APIs without helping the developers adapt to the new APIs.
Furthermore, if someone records the programmes and archives them digitally, would they be adverse to putting them up on BitTorrent for the rest of the world? Nudge, nudge.

Okay, my MPlayer can't open that at all, it says there is no route to host. Funnily enough, going to the BBC web site works fine.
Can't they just use a goddamned web server? It would save everyone's trouble.

Don't you mean: Size doesn't matter, it's what you stick it in?
I thought they were talking about Unix shell utilities. I'm so confused now...

Maybe if someone would do this, we could hack together a new driver in shell script that doesn't suck.

So how does this work, anyway? Suppose the file sharing app I'm using doesn't provide a place to put the address? ;-)
Neat, so Debian derivatives now have the ability to compile applications without GNOME support?

Okay, I'll answer my own question. They have them for www.ipv6.org, but not for ipv6.org itself.
That's the cruel thing. ISPs will certainly try to get away with allocating only one address and charge for more, and since IPv6 addresses cost less than IPv4 addresses, they will take all the profit.
Is it just me? I can't see any AAAA records for ipv6.org itself. I would have thought they would be the FIRST to change.

I get the icky feeling that this would require some pretty special drivers... so Sony would have to announce such compatibility sooner or later.
It's somewhat amusing that in the first load balancing example, one of the points of failure was Kenny. Especially since Kenny ALWAYS DIES.
