Because the two past Flash players for Linux have been horribly laggy with both video and sound, as well as poor image quality.
Is this version as fast as the Windows/Mac version?
I'm thinking of switching to SuSE from Slackware myself. I'm lazy and sick of configuring everything by hand. I've tried SuSE before and it's hands down the best desktop distro.
Slackware seems more like something I'd run as a web or file server.
I'm also thinking of switching to KDE 3.2 from GNOME. I like GNOME's more minimalist look and feel... but GTK2 is s-l-o-w.
I recently built a network fileserver running Slackware 9.1 and samba, it has 4 x 250GB HDDs (1TB total) and I thought that would be enough for a very long time.
What ramifications does this have for emulators like ZSNES?
Oh, and Nintendo doesn't have to worry, I'm only emulating games from the 16-bit era (games I own), because everything they made from the N64 on up (with a few exceptions) has sucked majorly.
Someone needs to overclock a SNES, as it had a much slower proc, 3MHz if I remember correctly. Games like Tetris Attack and others would slow down horribly during heavy gameplay.
Mod me down as flaimbait or whatever, but I personally think we need a global cataclysm. We don't need something that kills off the entire human population, but we certainly need something to cleanse our planet.
We need something to take our collective heads out of our asses and come together as one people and work together for the common good.
The world as it is... is in a sad state. I don't think I even need to explain why... just watch the censored news.
DSLR/BBR sucks anyways. I should know. I've been posting there since September 22, 2001. Their news is slow to get posted and the forums are way overmoderated.

Slightly offtopic: Does anyone know how to get the scroll wheel to work in Konqueror? The scroll wheel just acts like a third button, and I'd like my "click, drag and scroll" and "scroll" capabilities back.
I really don't mind using Windows XP; it's stable enough for me -- but I'm looking towards the future...
I think Longhorn is really going to be a prison for it's users.
Don't get me wrong, I think light-use-DRM is fair (e.g. iTunes Music Store) but Microsoft is just plain evil. They want to control your BIOS, your computer and your life.
Hell, after 2006 when this Trusted Computing platform comes out, don't be surprised to see that you can't install Linux or any other UNIX variant on your machine because the BIOS won't let you. That box won't be yours, it'll be Microsoft's. Ever wondered why that little icon on your desktop was called My Computer? Maybe you should read the EULA better!
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Apple had double digit marketshare by 2010.

gentlemen, we have the technology. We can re-rape you. Bigger, faster, stronger. Better than the rape we put on you before..
Real men code everything in BASIC.

Like the airlines think Saftey, Saftey, Saftey - Microsoft need to adopt the slogan.. Security Security Security

They already have one... "Developers, Developers, Developers.... DEVELOPERS... DEVELOPERS... DEVELOPERS!!!"
Does this mean I don't have to pay my $650 fee now?
This new interface reminds me of Minority Report!

Dammit, it doesn't work...
The thing about BitTorrent compared to traditional "one-way" downloads is that BT likes to suck up as much available network bandwidth as it can.
Just about 30 or so users on a T3 network using BT could bring it to dial-up speeds.
Isn't Mozilla a generic name used in all headers for web browsers? I'm pretty sure IE6 uses the word "Mozilla" in it's information headers...
What are they trying to do? Copyright a generic name?
I recently built a network fileserver running Slackware 9.1 and samba, it has 4 x 250GB HDDs (1TB total) and I thought that would be enough for a very long time.
Then I discovered BitTorrent and SuprNova

More SCO news? I reckon they're getting desperate.
That has to be the *biggest* version jump in history! From 1.4 to 2004.0!
This is bullshit! Total bullshit!
Now if BellSouth would follow suit and do the same thing. There are cable users in our area who get twice the speed for half the cost.
You're bitching because Microsoft finally added a popup blocker, a better firewall, and some AV utils?
If Microsoft didn't include these items, you'd be the same one fucking bitching that they weren't securing their software good enough.

Wasn't this thing supposed to come out, like, what, a year ago?
I still want my Indrema!
Hahaha! This story made my day. It pissed me off so much to see M$/SCO teaming up on Linux! Take that!
For those who don't know what this whole SCO deal is about, go here.

Xandros looks "ok", but SuSE is a better deal:
SuSE is free if you do a network install.

It's pretty fucking sad when you now have forecasted virii.

My next computer will be an Apple *Mac or *Book.
