But damn if I didn't have major headaches with my laptop. It came with an Intel 945 chipset which is supported... if you get the 1.6 Xorg driver with Xorg 7.1, and compile appropriate kernel modules. And it's slow. So I upgraded to ATI, which I couldn't for the life of me get working properly on Gentoo despite glxinfo claiming to be doing DRI (probably some oddball library problem). So I loaded up SLED 10, got the ATI driver after registering, and found the distro didn't recognise the X1400 card out of the box... ok, it does work with XGL, so I'm pretty stoked, but ACPI on this machine isn't quite right, so powersave doesn't know about all the switch points or fan control... so it runs very hot (but quietly...:-/).
And I'm a geek who's been using Linux since '98 or so. Hell, I've written kernel drivers and contributed software, but *still* I had huge headaches getting the 3D video working right - and ACPI still doesn't.
The thing about iChat is that it uses H.264 compression, which gets more quality for a given bandwith than MPEG4 and similar compression. Any chat system should perform better using H.264 (if the host can handle it).
The irony is that once the non-commercial stations get more popular, the networks buy them out and turn them commercial. I guess PBS will be different, but that's what happens with local radio stations here.
There's a lot of interest in SLED 10, so I think it will work out differently this time. Every review I've seen puts it at least on a par with Windows XP Pro for business users, so I think that Lenovo has got their choice of timing and partner right.
Deja Smeja. The real answer should be readily apparent to anyone who has read Stephen Hawking's book. To parahrase a few lines from A Brief History of Time, why do we remember the past and not the future? One theory says it's because that's how the universe worked out - if it was different we wouldn't be here. So, you've stumbled into a point into a wormhole in space-time that crosses to another universe where time is running backwards. Therefore, "deja vous" is a moment when you actually are remembering the future*.
Xbox usage??? Get some perspective you little shit. This gives hope to people have lost the use of their legs, or their whole freaking bodies, possibly lost their families in accidents, or maybe fought in wars protecting your sorry ass, and all you can think about is playing fucking video games?!
If you want to help RSI, go and do something that doesn't involve computers or jacking off. This research is bigger than your limp-wristed melodramas. I only hope religion and politics doesn't slow progress any more than it already has.
Yup. I'm fairly sure every paralysed person I know would find a way to raise a million bucks to pay for this kind of treatment. Money should not be a concern for this kind of reasearch.
You mean the author of an article discouraging the use of CORBA works for a company which has a vested interest in discouraging the use of CORBA? That's unpossible!
Of the two, I'd go with Ubunutu. It's been better on desktops and laptops for me, especially with detecting hardware. I like SuSE (I use SLES9 on our servers) but I think Ubuntu is the better desktop. They'll both have Evolution available.
For multimedia, I use mplayer + mencoder. There are plugins for the Gnome desktop/totem/whatever for generating previews. Mplayer has a GUI front end as well as the command line one, and will play DVDs etc happily, and can use native Windows codecs.
K3B is probably the nicest Linux burner app, although I think Nero has a Linux version too now. Be worth checking that out (it's free for Windows licensed users).
Slashdot Mirror
Once, I would have agreed.
:-/).

So is work as a foreign (white) supervisor in China easy to obtain?

Wow. That's a great reference to REAL Software Engineering. I wonder what the XP community response to that article is?
Strangly, I'm inclined to agree with you. Guess we'll get WW3 after all...
Good luck with that if you're travelling internationally now.
Which I guess depends on your definition of value - information, or money....
I'd buy it if it came with the muzzle.
Anyone from The GIMP project taking notes?
Taking what you said a step further... Would you say that anywhere that once had liquid water for a significant period of time, once had life?

Meh. Do it with *refractive* interference from water droplets, and use it to make enormous waterfall-like video displays.

*Or you're losing your mind. Either way.
Given that scenario, how could anyone be sure Northrop wasn't involved in making it happen? It's just a business decision, after all.
I'd hit it then talk about her theories.

That'll change as soon as China gets properly motivated. Once the Chinese land on the moon, the race will be on again.
Got any openings coming up?
At least his parents had forsight.
Obviously you need bigger hands. And you know what they say about guys with big hands...
/Asian GF has DDs. :-D
That bears repeating in bold:
"He didn't get rich and famous being a nice guy."
In Wyoming, it would be translated as, "Hey Ennis, get off my dude!"

The NIC issue is a tricky one... some are supported, some aren't. Google and the Ubuntu wiki are your friends here. Eg, a page from 6 months ago: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Li
