  1. Re:Common sense on Boot Windows Faster, Using Linux · · Score: 1

    I have an Athlon XP, a Coppermine laptop and a Ppro server in my room - LILO is set for 2 seconds... just enough for me to choose whether I want 2.4.22, 2.4.22-ck2 or 2.4.23.

  2. Re:Should faking be illegal? on AOL Tests Sender Permitted From / E-mail Caller ID · · Score: 1

    Yes -there are plenty of those email clients that automagically sign/encrypt outgoing mail and decrypt incoming mail.... 1) MUTT 2) mozilla -mail 3) Mozilla Thunderbird 4) Ximian Evolution Just because Outlook/Eudora can't do GPG/PGP doesn't mean the rest of the world can't.

  3. Re:Yeah, right... on Microsoft's Security Report Card · · Score: 0

    Sorry, Colton, but the reason I use Linux (a not-so-but-kinsa *nix) is not because I'd have to pay for MS.

    You couldn't pay me to use Windows. :-D

  4. Ark Linux in not "apt-gettable" on Recent Apt-Gettable Goodness From Ark, Conectiva · · Score: 4, Redundant

    Ark Linux is not based on Debian, but is instead based on Red Hat. See the article - they admit that they've goofed.

  5. Re:KDE most impressive open source project - ever on KDE 3.2 Release Candidate 1 Debuts · · Score: 1

    Maybe because instead of accepting the default config (like Keramik), I desire to customize it to my tastes. THis is of course where a lot UI problems come through - like immutable color settings/ color settings that control two things or more at once.

    Frankly I don't give a rats ass. I am not trying to sell anything to anyone. You like KDE? Fine by me. I use GNOME because it suits my needs/tastes, not because of a political statement.

  6. Re:KDE most impressive open source project - ever on KDE 3.2 Release Candidate 1 Debuts · · Score: 1

    Maybe if the KDE worked out the kinks that make normal KDE proggies crash while taking the rest of KDE along for a nice lets-Ctrl-Alt-Backspace ride, no one would bitch about it.

    Why is it out of 4 distros I used, KDE never functions for longer than 30 minutes out of the box? Sure, I can spend the next day getting fixes and recompiling and fixing and everything, and then turning away in disgust for the latest CVS Gnome and having NO STABILITY problems.

    And since you enjoy slamming people, who disagree with your KDE-centric view, as (I guess White) "trailer trash," I am going to have tell to go back to your ghetto publik skool edumacation, ok bro'?

    Lets see a name behind that AC, errm?

  7. Re:broadband over powerlines, it's just silly. on Could Broadband Over Power Lines be Dangerous? · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of something a couple of my friends did last year in the dorm - it was called "Power over Ethernet"

    But I think they've wired it wrong since it didn't kill the NIC on the test-victim iMAC.

  9. Re:OSS drivers? on The Successor to AC'97: Intel High Definition Audio · · Score: 1

    Toss and replace - you have a defective board. As much has I hate Creative, the Live! has some really good support (and good quality) under Linux.

  10. Re:high on MIDI Keyboard/Computer: Neko64 · · Score: 1

    AFAIK the only (and buggy at that) hardware MIDI support is provided by the ALSA SB Live! drivers. But don't forget the awesfx toolset so you can actually load SF2 banks and get any sound...

    The suport is buggy as the ALSA MIDI driver has a bad tendency to randomly drop notes, and the developers still don't know whats gone wrong.

    And for you shitwits that might suggest "Timidity" - most people desire next-to-0 latency, something that cannot be provided by a user-space MIDI engine that gobbles-up system resources.

  13. Re:OSS drivers? on The Successor to AC'97: Intel High Definition Audio · · Score: 1

    Remove the card - reseat it back. Else try a different PCI slot. I had similar problems. At worst - chuck it and try a different Live!

  14. Re:high on MIDI Keyboard/Computer: Neko64 · · Score: 1

    Actually they do - there is no OSS or Linux-oriented synthesis packages out there that can compete with anything currently available for IA32-Windows. Sad, but true. Yes yes - I /know/ there are /some/ projects that may look good in the future... but currently... no. I'm STILL trying to find a tracker that doesn't have issues playing mods tracked in 1995 - like umm.... Karsten Koch's Aryx.s3m. of the trackers that I tried - 1 Couldn't open anything but mod and fasttracker files. 1 Couldn't open anything other than impulsetracker files. 1 had issues playing screamtracker files. 2 had issues with flaky sound output that randomly died at random times/places. I'd run the modplug tracker but... ummm.. the UI looks fucked under Wine or WineX 3.1, so there... P.S. Don't expect people to use JAZZ for Midi composition either...

    Yay, a terrorist racist state that sheds no tears for human rights has decided to use Open Source Software, if not for the sake that it doesn't cost any shekels - then for the sake of milking more US dollars out of Microsoft.
