yeah but the same thing exists with modems.. They are always trying to push the limits of the analog standard... It would just be better if it wasn't a whole new drive:)
I haven't used a floppy in the longest time. It is either CDROM or Zip. I just keep losing floppies hehe.
yeah, but everyone is laying off... The recession is a real thing. People are scared for one reason or another.
I was thinking about this though. Seems like awfully good timing to announce such a "breakthrough". I am VERY wary of anything that isn't concrete and I don't see in front of me. Hell, Transmeta even came out w/a concrete product and I am not impressed. We shall see.
actually the episode of the Simpsons where they send the two space ships into space and Lisa and Marge (and the baby) are on one, and Homer and Bart go on the other one (to the Sun) reminds me of this.
I wonder if the end of "Road Trip" will actually come true when some hardcore science stoners come up w/an altered Marijuana plant that doesn't show up on tests, and becomes incredibly strong...
because that is Alpha, and this is Intel, that's why. It is like "why run Windows when Linux is available and is more stable, has applications, etc". It's the name that counts to the masses.
I am still rather disappointed w/the problems w/AGP and DRI support in the kernel. Can't have that stuff compiled in and keep Netscape open for more than 2 mins.
I am really having a lot of problems with it crashing X as well (dual heads). It may not be a problem w/2.4.0 but it seems to only have started when I upgraded the kernel.
USB is coming along but it is not yet at a point where it is useful enough for me to give it thumbs up. When my Intel Create and Share USB camera and my Cassiopeia link cradle are supported, I will jump up and down. Until then, it is just a novelty...
I have always felt that Global Warming was a bunch of bullshit. It seems like everyone looking for research funding finds something worthless to talk about. *Yes*, the global tempatures are rising, *yes*, it is a direct result of what we have done in our past and current days w/the burning of fossil fuels... Does it matter overall, *no*.
The Earth was hot as hell before. There is great evidence of major climatic differences in the past... The Earth does NOT give a shit if we decided to put a major city right on the coast. If it needs to do "whatever" to fix itself it will. It is our problem that we fucked up.
As far as increasing the time in which this would have happened, this is true. Does it really matter? *No.* If it happened say 10,000 years from now it would have only caused greater problems w/society (if we still exist).
Global warming is a fact of the Earth's existance. It is going to happen no matter what. Get over it people. Put the money into education rather than closing the damn hole that keeps getting bigger...
I just got one for Xmas and even though it is quite useful for what I ened it for, I find it very difficult to use any software made for WinCE w/it. C64 emu, GB emu, etc. Nothing has E-125 support.
I would love to see someone port something fun and worthwhile to the E-125:) That would make my day.
what bothers me about cable is the fact that the signals suck. They don't want you splitting the cable unless you pay for it. The signal is weak, and the more you split, the worse it gets. My TV's get horrible reception (both at home and here at school). Do I really need to pay extra money (for Digital Cable or HDTV) when it is shit anyway and the signal is weak?
sorry, emails are difficult to use for standard conversation and due to the lag of sending the messages it makes it difficult to get a quick response...
IRC *was* a great chat system in the past. I still use it at times but honestly most people aren't willing to learn it, the lag is horrible at times, all the netsplits suck, and the recent DOS attacks make it less alluring than it used to be.
AIM has made phone calls pretty much worthless in college. When you are asking someone if they are going out it is a lot less work to double click their name and type the message than have to wait for the rings, the answer, and possibly the answering service of choice...
IMHO there is no real threat to AOL. I used to use ICQ but became annoyed by the constant barage of porn spam. IRC sucks because of the above. AIM has integrated file sending, group chat, and everything that ICQ, or IRC has...
Yes, this is all a matter of opinion on my part, but I really feel that AIM has changed the way that the Internet chat world is... I walk through the dorms and see MANY MANY people chatting away w/tons of people at the same time (not just people that know how to use ICQ or IRC).
umm, unfortuantly, I don't run distributed software for the sheer thrill. I run it to win the damn money. Who says I am going to, but I compare it a lot to the lottery. I don't have to pay w/this and I have a lot better odds of winning (like 1 in 1800). SETI I don't win anything and it may even cost us our lives (key word is MAY) in the future when we start fucking up the lives of other worlds not just our own...
I will stick to what is harmless and could give me money:)
No dorky clubs for me where I compare how much CPU time I wasted going to a program:)
unfortunatly for me (Voodoo3 3k, CL5446 dual heads) when I have the AGPPART and the DRI stuff compiled in, Netscape crashes just about constantly freezing the keyboard and forcing a reboot (either hard or from a remote session). I hear that this is fixed in 2.4.0 revisions but I haven't had the time or desire to download them... Maybe 2.2.18 doesn't include these problems but I know 2.4.0 does.

Richochet is something I would REALLY like to have, problem is, I live in NW Ohio. We can barely get good cable reception ;-)
They need to move this sort of service to a larger area. There is a LARGE demand for this sort of *inexepnsive* wireless service.
Give me a Ricochet modem for my Cassiopeia and I will love you forever!
lightweight and stable...
;)
:)

lightweight. Something I don't particularly care about, I have plenty of system resources to be wasting on my WM
stability is something that some WM's don't give but I would still pick ANY WM over TWM. It just looks SO damn ugly
Just my worthless
get a card w/TV out. I think it would probably be less money, faster, and definitly less space.
yeah but the same thing exists with modems.. They are always trying to push the limits of the analog standard... It would just be better if it wasn't a whole new drive :)
I haven't used a floppy in the longest time. It is either CDROM or Zip. I just keep losing floppies hehe.
you forgot to time the operation :)

whatever fool, you are the one that is posting on /. remember...
I wonder if the end of "Road Trip" will actually come true when some hardcore science stoners come up w/an altered Marijuana plant that doesn't show up on tests, and becomes incredibly strong...

ahhh, the wonders of modern science

nah, the Create and Share Camera's chipset is NOT supported by the USB driver. I tried what you said and it didn't work.
Did some more searching on the web and found out that it is certainly not supported. Rather disappointing, but you'll have that.
PocketLinux is attempting to make a graphical based PDA running on Linux. so it would have nothing to do w/Console...
honestly, no input system is good for a PDA. I bought a KB for my PDA so that any large amounts of input would be easy.
I'll try that, thanks.
even though there are some pictures, I don't see any concrete evidence that this will become anything more than vaporware.
;-)
I really would like to see a Linux based handheld that has built in wireless Internet but that seems like a pipedream for now.
Continued development of projects such as PocketLinux is where it's at AFAIAC but what do I know?
I think that if they ever do get this thing up to presentable status, they should hold a contest on a new name and mascot
nope, two different cards.

got a 5/5 on my birthday...
/. Nothing could make my golden birthday better -- except maybe getting laid ;)
ahh, the joys of life. Making fun of MS *and* getting a 5/5 on
Microsoft would make this out to be a good thing, "It is a rock solid OS" :( I think it crashes harder than a rock ;-)
