strange... the 5.1 soundcard built into this mobo has perfect support and correctly switches the mic and line-in inputs into outputs for the centre/subwoofer and surround channels. Oh and my wireless works perfectly, cos I didn't just pick up the first box I saw... I checked on what others had working beforehand.
No, the bugs in Sarge don't affect Ubuntu... Ubuntu Hoary was based upon a snapshot of Sid taken several months before the release date of Hoary and then all the bugs in that core snapshot were thrashed out... It didn't help though that Gnome 2.10 and KDE 3.4 went into the mix in the final couple of weeks before release. I actually found I was running Gnome 2.10 the very day of the official 2.10 release. I'd done an update the night before and not checked...
a far better option is just to wipe windows off completely... duel booting is just a crutch to keep yourself in the warm fuzzy blanket of windows... go cold turkey and be a real man/woman... you'll thank yourself later
10 to 15 gallons of petrol a week??? in the UK you would have to take out a mortgage to cover that... we now pay £4 a gallon and in US that would roughly be $7.30.. so at a minimum, you would be paying $73 a week on good weeks...
I write down my passwords... but you wouldn't recognise them as passwords... the password will be some combination of say the second letter of a each of a list of words and any wouldbe intruder will be flummoxed as they'll think each word itself is a password...
well of course they do... the sound is the traction effect of their drives shaking your own fighter... get close enough to a sufficiently strong oscillating magnetic field and the metal in your cockpit and helmet is going to vibrate
it doesn't help that on Word 97 (which is still probably in the majority in most offices), the print icon is right next to the save icon... a disaster waiting to happen...
I know... I missed once and had a 500 page document print out and spool to the very fast network printer before I knew what the f had happened... the cancel button wasn't available for very long... and I'd already gotten up to go for a pee...
I now make a point of removing the print icon from all toolbars I come across if it's next to the save one... the only way I can print now is via the menu or from the print preview...
eliminate the ugly bit between the two screens then??? surely they must be able to put the two TFTs in the same housing and get them closer together...
oi you... fuck off..
2) I'm a registered owner and have real receipts. I think you'll find only registered owners will be able to prove they owned one of the items during the listed period.
and
2) what the fuck is it with all the anonymous coward script crapflood reposting??? I thought they'd fixed this thing by making people post via captcha images
cos that'll remove one of the perpetual whines about there being no cutting edge games for Linux... and therefore, there's no requirement for kick-ass hardware for that Linux box either... there's plenty of life in all those old 1GHz boxes being flogged off by companies upgrading to run XP.
wow... you must really enjoy the upgrade treadmill... me, I enjoy the fact that a game for my console will work... and I don't have to piss about finding the latest drivers for my hardware or downloading a massive patch for the game a few weeks after the release...
One issue I can forsee is retraining the support staff. 99% of the techs I worked with were Windows centric.
Why retrain??? just dump them and get competent ones in... give the existing staff an ultimatum... either get qualified withi, say, 12 months or ship out... tell them you'll subsidise the certification costs, but it's up to them to get their act together. In the meantime, get some qualified contractors in.
No, software patents won't make Open Source illegal... they'll just make it impossible to produce because of the likelyhood of impinging upon a software patent "landmine" instead...
to get people to ditch torrent... had it been backwards compatible and able to use existing torrent files then it would probably take off fast... but having its own file format (.rodi files) may condemn it like.ogg vs.mp3... everyone knows what a.torrent and an.mp3 are... but a.rodi and an.ogg???
erm... how can it be a Unix server if it's running a free OS??? A Unix server only runs Unix... anything else and it won't be counted as a Unix server sale. And nobody buys Unix and then wipes it to put Linux on... they wait until the machine is obsolete and then replace it with either a shiny new Unix server or a brand new Linux server.
Hope you're dumping lots of money into an IRA, kids. You'll thank yourselves later.
and when they raid your IRA, what then??? people in the UK have completely lost faith in the pensions industry and the Labour government doing a raid (hitting them with a "Windfall Tax") on the pensions funds didn't do anyone any favours either...
How much do you weigh? 4 beers in two hours would put most people over 0.05%, if not 0.08%. If you're planning a long night out, you'll metabolize most of those first three beers in a few hours and your subsequent "maintenance" beer/hour won't cause a problem. However, if you're going out for a 2 hour dinner you're not going to have time to metabolize those first three beers before it's time to get in the car and drive.
We're talking Australian beer here... love-in-a-canoe stuff... fscking close to water...
I would be happy to use Gnome as my main desktop when it can beat KDE at its own game and not go off on weird spatial adventures... and one of the first things they've got to do is to use a separate programe to handle the wallpaper and icons and stop using Nautilus... there you are, happily running icewm and you accidently start Nautilus up... whoops, your desktop gets taken over and stays that way even after closing the Nautilus window...
that the existing oil company "dinosaurs" won't take too kindly to any upstart muscling in on their nice lucrative fiefdom... do not be surprised if they buy up the upstarts and sit on the technology.
Some bloated apps are still annoyingly CPU bound. OOo startup, for example. Many server apps are also CPU bound.
Bzzzt... wrong... OOo startup is not CPU bound, it is IO bound to the disk subsystem... If it was CPU bound, then the Processor usage would be pegged at 100% while loading. I've just started mine up and all the time it remained below 50%.

Do you even think for one nanosecond that the EFF would be supporting it if it were closed???
