Pfft... I don't see SDL causing any massive performance hits on Neverwinter Nights. The Linux version (which is based on SDL) runs just as fast as the Windows version (which is not based on SDL, oddly.)
So what makes Doom 3 so special that a performance hit would actually take place, and do you really think id are going to use raw X calls to get the keyboard input and such?
True. But you'd also think that Martian Buddy would be more competent than those other idiots, and should be sending promotional MB Duct Tape to the facility.:-/
Duct tape really is the hardest thing to find on Mars. If there were any in the entire station (crazy, I know), you could have duct taped the flashlight to the shotgun.
But you know, over on Mars, they use other things to keep ducts sealed, like dark magicks. Why the fuck else did the devil come through? Because idiots didn't have duct tape and were using dark magicks to summon demons to deal the ducts.
For fucks' sake, guys... please, next time just use the damn duct tape. It will be better for everyone's sake.
That's why there exist plugins, to keep features which don't belong in an IM client, out of the IM client, but still letting users create or install them.
I've noticed that the Firefox prerelease is actually v0.10. They use 1.0 in all the places the user sees it, but in the actual user agent strings it's 0.10.:-)
What's annoying is that 2.6.8.1 on Gentoo is unmasked and with no patch to fix the problem. The least the Gentooistas could have done to avoid this is to mask the package until a fix appeared.
I wonder if gentoo-dev-sources is worth trying again... I've been on vanilla-sources since mm-sources crashed on boot in 2.6.7.
Naturally, trollster, that's not the point here. The point is that if a thousand users had ATI cards, and Mandrake made the mistake of releasing Xorg 6.8, then those thousand users would all have been asking Mandrake why X is crashing, and blaming them. It's much easier to leave such updates for the future, when the drivers are actual stable, as they seem to be for 6.7.
This is very interesting. I think at the moment I pay something like 0.11 AUD/kWhr, which would translate to something like 0.07 USD/kWhr.
So if a company was content to be a really low earner and someone was dumb enough to sponsor the outfit in the beginning to install all the plants, there would still be 0.015 USD/kWhr profit while the thing is running.
But unfortunately, they do want to earn more money.;-)
As a Linux user plagued with crappy gaming experiences and having to dual boot, I was really hoping when I read the title of this article that we would be talking about a system with two computers in one box, so I could run two operating systems at once if I wanted to.
Imagine that... two machines in one box, and a KVM switch built into the case for picking which one you want to interact with. Mmmmmm.....
Either that, or like.. Transitive gets out of vaporware.
So why can't they add this to the actual Google site, instead of making it a client-side thing? Couldn't they just make an "I Might Be Feeling Lucky" button, which does the same thing, with less cruft?
Mozilla's search bar is actually quite useful though. Far from being bloat, and far from being a "Google bar", you can actually plug hundreds of search engines into it, as it's completely customisable. I use mine for the dictionary and IMDB more often than I use it for Google.

That's bullshit, the Windows version would have been developed just as quickly.

Damnit, if only they'd used SDL, the Linux and Mac ports might have been out already!
Or to be more to the point, the webcam rubbish in the mainstream IM clients is not compatible with 99.9% of the video conferencing world.

"Our release policy of releasing every six months is (at the time of writing :-) unique in the linux distribution world."
Yeah, because hey, Gentoo is releasing every three months. Therefore six is unique on a technicality.

Set one of these JPEG files as your avatar in MSN Messenger, and hack your whole contact list at once!
Those same users probably don't give a wet toss about security anyway.
Wasn't there a vulnerability in *nix's libpng a short while ago, though?

I don't know how it's possible, no... $400 for a word processor seems a little steep already. :-)
I would rather see even just OSX running on an x86 box at reasonable speed first.
Nevertheless it's still Java, and there's nothing shameful about being an IDEA fanatic, Mr. AC. ;-)
I sometimes imagine how neat it would be if Windows was reworked to use Qt for everything, instead of Qt sitting on Windows...
Ooooo... yep, as much as I dislike Symbian, that P910 looks pretty bloody cool. :-)
This could potentially be a great way to advertise Linux, if "update windows" went straight to any given Linux Distro's Install HOWTO. :-)

You forgot to mention the thing about him touching himself with the rats...
