I'm trying to play it in MPlayer (Redhat 9) but the audio won't work, it says it can't find the codec for format 0x6134706D. Anyone know how to fix this?
For you Linux nuts who are worrying about it not being open-source and therefore not being able to use it in your own distro, just use MPlayer.I use it, and it plays Windows Media files very well. There are plenty of other progs for *nix that can play Windows Media, so this isn't really that special.
I have a friend at Michigan Tech(not this guy, I just talked to him) who got in trouble for sharing files from his computer. The network guys there bought a search program that searched the school network for people using p2p clients like Kazaa then searched their shared folders for copyrighted material. He had many (>10)GB of copyrighted stuff, so he got a letter from the net admin saying they were coming to check out his computer. They came, but didn't find anything, so nothing happened to him (he 'deleted' his files), but consider this a warning for those of you who are in college and do share things, they are looking for you and will find you if you're not careful.
One big difference between America and other countries is that we know about this and are allowed to discuss it. In some other countries, anyone who expressed disagreement would be taken in. Just because you hear about more things our government does doesn't mean they actually do more bad things than other governments. In America, things like this get out, and if needed, the government changes. That's why we have the oldest and longest-lived government of the powerful countries, it is able to adapt and fix itself. In many other countries, when there's a scandal, the government is overthrown and the country gets thrown back a few years relative to the rest of the world. Here in America, the truth (eventually) comes out, changes are made (if necessary) and the government goes on.

If a defect occurs during the three (3) month warranty period, Nintendo or a NINTENDO AUTHORIZED REPAIR CENTER will repair the defective product, free of charge
So it doesn't cover loss or theft, but it covers (limited) damage.:-)
Posessing a ROM for a cartridge you own, as a backup, is legal.
Like others have said, that's what the emulator sites tell you; it's just not true! Exact quote from the back of one of my GBA game manuals:
WARNING: Copying of any Nintendo game is illegal and is stricly prohibited by domestic and international copyright laws. "Back-up" or "archival" copies are not authorized and are not necessary to protect your software. Violators will be prosecuted.
True, but we need it. We are using oil much faster than it is produced in nature, so we will eventually run out, making this a great breakthrough. And for those wondering, it's not an April Fool's joke, I get Discover and I've read the article.
DC++ is much nicer than the original client, but many hubs won't allow it, it's very easy to fakeshare. By modifying one line of source code, I made DC++ think that each of my files was 1gb. I don't use it any more though, I've had much better luck with Kazaa Lite.
I've seen many people say this is bull (it will only help with text, etc..) and I agree 100%. However, the success of something is not always determined by what the smart geeks think of it, it's what the average (ignorant(paying)) consumer thinks. AOL tricked millions of people into thinking that their service was better than other ISP's when in fact AOL has generally been a few years behind the times, especially with email. So while this will only speed up the loading of text pages a little, the people(fools) who sign up will see that and love it, and try not to see the truth, that the extra money is a waste.
Is it just me, or did he fail to mention price? Price is one of the most important things I look at when deciding what to buy.
Like many other people have said, this comparison isn't really useful. Two completely different gadgets for two completely different purposes, and two (somewhat) different target audiences (photographers vs. gamers). Sure, there are some gamers that also love photography and there are some photographers that love gaming, but that's not the majority of either group. This comparison was doomed from the start by virture of the products it compares, and imho he didn't carry it out very well.
You could use this to make a map for [insert popular network FPS such as Quake].
Not really, the resolution isn't nearly good enough for that. My house was about 15 pixels wide in earthviewer. There was a free trial at nvidia.com, I'm not sure if it's still there. Regardless of that fact, it's still an incredibly cool program. You could type in an address, and it would 'fly' to that location, downloading the pictures it needed as it went (broadband of at least 1mbit is a must for it to be useable). When it had the images cached, I could zoom in from out space to my street in 5 seconds. Very cool effect.
I know that you all think nothing good could ever come out of Microsoft, but Visual Studio is a very good product. I don't love Microsoft, I hate many of the things they do, but I use Visual Studio of my own free will and I love it. I wouldn't be surprised if this comment gets modded down simply because I said something good about Microsoft.....
I tried it (9.0) for a few weeks and the only thing I didn't like was that wine wasn't installed/configured like in RedHat (7.3). Is this another case of some linux people hating a distro because it's too easy to use?
If people never did things simply because they were cool, life would be much more boring. Part of the fun of doing things new and different ways is just the experience of it, regardless of whether it serves a useful purpose or not. I've had at least 5 different operating systems (a few linux distros, beos, windows.net) installed on my second hard drive in the past couple months. Did they all serve a useful purpose? No, but I like the experience of trying something different, just like the people at extrememhz.
legitimate sites that are hosted on the same server
While I'm not arguing that child porn servers might also have legitimate content, I think this blocking may be a good incentive for the webmasters to remove the child porn so that people can access their legit content.

Hah, I tried faad2 also, with the same results. I installed Xine and it works, thanks for the suggestion!

Change the 'www' in the link to 'archive' so people don't have to register to read the story. Modified link
I sure hope the software to control it is *VERY* secure, so I don't have random microwaves causing mischief around my house.

I agree, especially once the X server starts and Gnome/Kde is loading.
I don't doubt that the fault line exists, but how exactly can they tell what earthquakes happened thousands of years ago?

Yes, I said that Visual Studio is good, so that's flamebait. GET A FUCKING CLUE!!!

I did that, but I still can't compile. I get:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/../../../../i6 86-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -ldisasm
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [hydan] Error 1
I'm using cygwin on Windows XP. Has anyone compiled with cygwin?

How much does the card that they used cost? Is it reasonable?
