Take any distro you want that has an X server. Install enough to get the X server running. Install rdesktop. Find which runlevel boots straight into X in/etc/inittab and change it so that it runs the following command: xinit rdesktop [options].
I just thought that up on the spot. You can do all of this with Slackware easily. DamnSmallLinux looks like it works too if you modify the OS image.
Let me put it this way: When I build my dream rig in 8 months or so, my OS partitions will be on 15k-RPM SCSI drives in RAID0, and my data will be on SATA drives in RAID5.
Both technologies, along with Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), comprise the future.
I think that is more of a feature of your video card. If I fire up nvidia-settings, I can let it choose or manually set it to the following settings: scaled, centered, or fixed aspect ratio scaled. That last one sounds like your letterbox.
It wouldn't be a "problem" if current English had a more formal way of differentiating 2nd-person singular from 2nd-person plural. We use "you all" or "you guys" because we don't use "thou" and "ye" anymore.
If they see messages in succession over a several week/month period will prove more effective than every 3 or 4 months.
People don't necessarily like being begged for money in succession. Notice I did not say "advertising"; I did say "fundraising."
Granted the effectiveness of advertising is difficult to show, but what are the actual numbers of Apple's sales before, during, and after that campaign? And even so, one Superbowl ad (which is what I was talking about) is still probably not (as) cost-effective.
Unfortunately, TV ads will run quite a bit more, but why not a SuperBowl ad? It's not until February. My guess is that it's probably a waste of money.
$250,000 is one thing; $2,500,000 is quite another. And probably a waste of money? More like definitely. How many announcement Superbowl ads have ever been effective?
The rest of what you suggest is more reasonable, but I would wait a little longer than you suggest before having another round of fundraising.
The fewer who "pirate," the more who will actually realize their disgruntlement with Microsoft and Windows, the more who will manage this in a constructive way (such as switching to Linux, etc...).
"Flip-flopping" is acceptable if "the facts" change.
I so wish that politicians were capable of (or is it that they are not allowed?) admiting a wrong decision based on wrong information or even a wrong decision outright. God forbid they be mortal...
No, he wasn't right. Political discussion occurs on only one public network using the Internet Protocol: THE Internet. Nobody uses the Internet2 or Mbone for political discussion. And if they do, it's an egregious misuse of resources.
I mean, the only way it becomes (almost) impossible instead of hard is when you don't account for it as you plan and revise.
When the submitter says "worthwhile," that decodes as there being too much lag to support network co-op. Is this a consequence of being too lax with one's networking code?
The other possibility is that the Xbox hardware isn't powerful enough. But if they can implement deathmatch, et al., why not co-op?
Co-op makes for a good time, and it should get more respect than it does from developers and gamers.
Anyway, it depends on how you're using the floating point numbers: the standard 387 FPU instructions are faster, but the superscalar operations are more efficient when used in their intended role of vector calculations.
This is exactly why we continually denounce big corporations: they only look at effects to the bottom line; FOSS must consequently exist to protect progress.

I wanted to kill myself after that one.

I've got a 17" Sony LCD w/ 16ms response time. I don't notice any problems. It's many times smaller and lighter than the 19" CRT I left at home.
In a vaguely related topic, does anybody know why DVI cables are so freakin' expensive?
Another thing to keep me from going to class, sleeping, doing homework, studying for exams, etc...

Although the article may be a year old, this news was only aired on the Discovery Channel this week.
I don't think he understands (or wants to understand) the narrowed definition of the word "hate" in that phrase.
I hope some FBI employee had a good laugh over this one.

Sadly, Thunderbird can't play with Exchange.
It's not supposed to. Evolution is supposed to do that.
Um... wrong discussion?

Once they see that we were all referred from the same site...

Homeland? Fatherland?
Same difference.

This workstation doesn't come with an OS.
Maybe we need a plug.slashdot.org so those who would bitch about this kind of "advertising" can block it...
BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I seem to remember it being the other way around.

Or so I've heard. YMMV.
(BTW: nice sig...)
Yeah, "dripping" is over-doing it. I did get carried away on that one.
XBox is superior hardware, and good gaming library, why is it doing so poorly if not the "We hate the USA" argument, "Stupid americans".
1) Since when have the majority of console gamers cared about differences within one hardware generation?
2) As I read your statement, it drips with arrogance: your/the American idea of "good" is different from someone else's/the Japanese idea of "good."
3) They can be just as nationalist as we can. Don't act surprised.
