I believe that with Project David they never hid the fact that it was WINE based. What makes this project *special* is that these guys found the "missing link", so to speak, that would allow WINE to work flawlessly with any Windows program. So, they started with WINE, and modified and added to it and hit on something new. Personally, I couldn't care about running Windows stuff on Linux....it kinda defeats the purpose
You'd truly be amazed by the number of women that put on makeup before working out at the gym, so they look good while working out. There are also quite a few women that will put on makeup when they goto bed to look good for the guy they are with. It's nuts.
The lack of linux drivers??? The card came out today. I can't even download a windows version of the driver yet. I don't believe that Nvidia has a driver out for the 6800 yet do they? So what are you complaining about?
If you are using Debian stable, you still would be one Foo v0.5 with Foo v0.8 in testing, Foo v1.0 in unstable, and Foo v1.4 without the Bar 1.2 plugin in experimenta.:D
It's pretty much in who the distro is aimed towards. You have to review a distrobution based on how well it fits into the the demographic at which it is aimed. To review Gentoo and compare it to Mandrake wouldn't be a fair comparison to either one. Mandrake, Redhat/Fedora, and Suse are aimed more towards the mass consumer market. These distros should have a few qualities:
1) They should be easy to set up.
2) They should work as close to 100% out of the box as possilbe
3) Their inner workings should be nearly invisible to the regular person
Basically, these distros should be compared to OS X and Windows on their installation and hardware detection. It should drop you into Linux easily, and with a fully working machine within an hour.
Next, you have the more hardcore user that you are aiming at with distros like Gentoo, Slackware, and Debian. These tend to be a little more difficult to set up (in comparison to the previous group). If a regular person picked up a copy of one of these at CompUsa and went to install it, they probably will be scratching their heads a bit, and they also probably will get some sort of error. The goals of these distrobutions tend to be the same, yet with a much higher emphasis on the customization factor. That's pretty much the tradeoff a distrobution makes. Ease of use vs. Customization. As one goes up, the other tends to go down. That's what makes Linux great. It's the fact that I can control how exactly how my machine is set up. Either I choose to do it all on my own, or I choose to let someone else decide for me what is installed on my machine and how it is configured. I have installed Mandrake, Fedora, Debian, and right now am waiting on the compiling of my first ever Gentoo install. I think each has their own sets of plusses/minuses and I recognize that.
(Yes, I also realize that each one of these distrobutions has various "flavors" that break the stereotype of that distrobution, such as live cd's, etc.)
It's not a political statement at all. I could care less about the fact that DOC is an MS format. If I was trying to make a statement, I'd send it out in SXW format and tell them that if they can't view it, then they need to get the appropriate viewer. It's merely one way of completely insuring that my resume will look a certain way, no matter how somebody chooses to view it. I've sent my resume out in PDF format and I have not received a single complaint.
Why not submit your resume in PDF format? It'll be smaller, uneditable, and almost everyone has a PDF viewer of some kind.
Note: These are all from my own personal experience.
I read the release, and scoured the site, and was unable to find any information beyond a press release on their site. They don't even have it in the online store. The version you are referring to is not for end users, but instead for embedded systems, much like intervideo's current player.
Who needs PowerDVD Linux?
A:Currently, PowerDVD Linux is targeting those IA(Information Appliance, such as Set-top Boxes) developers as an embedded software DVD playback solution. CyberLink is also looking forward to integrating PowerDVD Linux into various
Linux distributions. The time frame will be early next year.
2.Is there any trial version available for individual users?
A:Trial version is not yet available for end users right now. Please check back CyberLink web site constantly and we'll publish related news once it is available.
3.Do you have PowerDVD Linux retail version for we Linuxers?
A:Not yet. Due to the variety of different audio and video hardware devices among systems , there are still many details we have to work out. For example, device manufacturer such as NVIDIA has not released their display drivers with Overlay support for Linux yet. That is why CyberLink can not release the retail version right now. We think it is not responsible to release any product until we can ensure the functionality, general compatibility and program stability when running our software.
That was from here and was also from 2000. Four years later, and we still have nada.
DeCSSS is not "safe, legal, and free". All that came about in the rulings is that the DeCSS code is no longer secret. They did not find him guilty because all he did was find out the trade secret and publish it. That's no big deal. Like if I found out McDonald's "secret sauce", KFC's "Colonel's Secret Spices", or the recipe to Coca-cola. These are secrets. Just b/c it is no longer a secret does not mean you can still distribute it. The DVD CCA still owns the rights to it. Also, that only applies to Norway. In the US (and possibly other countries, of which I am unaware of those governing laws), you could still be in trouble.
I have an iRiver iHP-120 and I love it. It has decent battery life, a radio tuner, usb 2.0, and the thing that everyone here at/. wants in a player...OGG support. My one quibble is that it takes a bit of time to start up. It's not quite instant on as I would like.
It's flammable, but not redicuously so. It takes a LOT of heat to cause magnesium to catch. Also, this isn't thin little strips of magneiusm ribbon, these are solid parts. Those will take an EXTREMELY high amount of heat for a LONG time to start fire. It's like comparing a pine needle to a log. Logs burn, but it takes more than just holding a match to a log to cause it to light.
Titanium is flammable as well. Interesting story:
At my job, they had a gas turbine engine they built with titanium pieces inside. Something went wrong, the titanium caught on fire, and the engine slung this flaming titanium everywhere.
Well, it could be that the coverage is just not that great anywhere, or it falls off fairly rapidly. My school (ASU #49) has coverage about equal to what you are saying.
I'd imagine a simple piece of non-clear tape could cover up the LED fairly easily. And the added advantage? It's reversible. You don't have to go back in and resolder LEDs or void warranties.

Or Infinium Labs and sue everyone that mentions your product (or at least the lack thereof)

Uh....Carmack writes games for OpenGL, not DirectX.

Ok, time to toss a few 250GB harddrives into an SR-71 flying at Mach 3. We cannot be outdone by mere information over wires!
Yeah, I can't wait for the day I get sued b/c my toaster started downloading music.

Silly putty has the same properties.
Dig around The Screensavers site. They had him on when he first was able to use a computer again. And yeah, it was about a year or so ago.

Where in the hell does your sister live? These just can't be real laws. It almost sounds like a word-of-mouth thing almost. That's nuts.
Maybe the backside?? At least you don't see his sack from that angle.
It's amazing. It's falling really fast. It just keeps going down.

You must be new here.....

I'd imagine that you don't even want to try going down that road here. :)
