yes.. I've got the battery monitor working on mine with Mandrake 10... whoopee... what I call acpi is suspend, hibernate and speed throttle... getting the battery monitor working just doesn't do it for me.
not as much fun as I had the other day with XP on my laptop... I closed the lid while the machine was booting up in XP... I then re-opened the lid some twenty minutes later and the damned thing crashed with "Windows has encounter an unexpected error" message... it couldn't survive having the lid closed during the boot sequence...
Mind you, I have never yet managed to get acpi working for Linux on that laptop (Packard bell iGo 4450, really a rebadged NEC Versa E400), but maybe that's because I'm scared of having to recompile my kernel... when the heck will the major distro vendors supply their distros with a precompiled laptop kernel??? or is this just too difficult an option
correct... just pick it up, and drop the binary hook.. there's nothing he can do about it as he released it under the gpl. And as you've already realised what the proprietary binary bit is doing, you can implement that yourself using your own algorithm in the current module as a user option.
more to the point, I hope the screen is a lot stronger than the one on my dead zire 71... It's got an ugly craze mark where a pencil sharpener fell on it (corner first) and now the beast's dead and requires a ridiculous amount of money for a new screen. What we need now is high rez screens that are less fragile
rules it out for me... and very likely a heck of a lot of other corporate users, my conditions of work do not permit cameras.
rather amusing that, as the camera will very likely make it a very usefull tool for a lot of other business users. But with bluetooth, surely there shouldn't be any need for a built in camera... just get hold of a bluetooth enabled one or else make use of the SD card slot to transfer pictures with.
my father was a dedicated AOL user for a long time... and the only thing holding him back from switching to Linux was the lack of a proper dialer for Linux...
In the end, the worms and other nasties of ms-windows life finally gave him the final push over to Linux... and that was the end of his AOL account... it was a painfull break for him, but in the long run he's had no regrets and he can still chat with his friends via Gaim, but as far as he's concerned, the lack of official support from AOL for Linux has cost them an account
If you read the RTFA, you'd know the answer... 10 ounces.

"The South American cane toad, Bufo marinus, was introduced to Australia as a biological control for the cane beetle, which destroys millions of dollars sugar cane each year. This was an environmental disaster. First, the toad never developed a taste for cane beetles, but instead slaked its prodigious appetite with all manner of endemic fauna. Second, the toad has two poison sacs behind its head, and its toxins are not restricted solely to these glands, making it poisonous fare for Australian wildlife during every stage of its lifecycle."
"Equally, there are a lot of PCs sold with Windows that have a legitimate version of Linux put on it."
Correct, I have five machines here at home that started life with OEM pre-installs of ms-windows on them, but four now have just Suse 9.1 on them... courtesy of the one pro-edition box I bought last month... and the other has Smoothwall gpl downloaded several months ago. Now how does that figure in the sales???
well, I had considered blowing my last two mod points on modding these two AC's into oblivion... but what the heck, it's not exactly as if anyone's even going to notice them in such a dead thread...
"If you have the power to make changes, then the current system is working for you and you won't change it. Or if the system is against you, then you'll want to change it but be unable."
Well, I was gonna mod you up, but felt this reply was more appropriate.
Happened in the good ole UK, Tony Blair and "new labour" in conjunction with the Liberal Democrats were making a lot of noises about voting reform and having proportional representation when they were in opposition before '97, but ever since "new labour" got into power we haven't heard any more about it from them... possibly because it would mean them losing.
"In order to even justify the hard drive space for a Linux install, I'd need to be able to play a lot of games on it, and more than the ones Cedega officially supports."
you have to "justify" the space for a Linux install??? with me, I have to justify the space for a windows install just for playing games on... that's all I use windows for now, just running a couple of games (fs2002 and virtual skipper). Now when cedega gets to the stage where it can transparently run such directX games without them borking, then I can dump the windows partition and complete the transition.
Everything else I do using Linux... and I resent having to reboot into the windows partition just for a fs2002 session or to play virtual skipper.
"There is virtually no cost associated with CD-to-P2P distribution (about 15 minutes to convert an entire album to.mp3). Therefore there is little to discourage people from engaging in illegal copyright violation."
Not only is there virtually no cost associated to p2p sharing, there is no profit there for the real pirates, those who have boxes of badly printed up DVDs under the trestle table or in the car boot and hide everything dodgy at the slightest hint of the authorities... In fact the real piracy is done on the qt by CD pressing firms with excess capacity running off extra un-counted copies and flogging them out the back door to racketeers.

Ahh... you admit it... your mum is using pirated software.

of the 500ml size... how much is left over for the actual beverage???
Nah... looks like she's been exploring some WWII battlefields...
Don't smoke the dried Cane Toad... either... it is supposed to have hallucinogenic properties... I wouldn't know personally though... ;)
especially if the OS goes off and double checks the executable is legit before executing it...
CybOrg, the Cybercafe Organizer and it's Spanish/English to boot!!! what more can you ask for???
Front page of Tiny.Com has them... at £229 ex VAT and delivery
The cheapest ms-windows pre-install of similar hardware spec is a whoe £130 !!! more... at £359 ex VAT and delivery

how about working on the existing theory so that it doesn't require yet another particle???
