Why does everything have to have a lawyer attached to it?
We are drowning in legal bull crap from all sides.
Whats good for the goose is good for the gander I guess. Makes me want to get out of this rat race though. I'm tired of all this political legal rambling, even when we win one for our team. Regardless, enforcement is another issue.
Jail time and a criminal record because a guy wants to film a movie? What did they do, take him down to the station, search him and finger print him?
If the movie is good, people will pay to see it in theater, period!
Its a very small group of people who have time to find, select, download, unpack, find missing parts, download, unpack again, burn and watch a degraded screener with shadow heads moving about.
If the movie is good, like LOTR, there is no way your going to watch a pirated version. If the DVD is a good collector, same thing.
Fucking politics! There is no doubt our freedoms are being eroded.
So what of the future when the technology is sufficient that you can't see the camera? Its so small or cyber genetically implanted?
Let me guess, the government will be able to control what you record?
Yager and Evans In the year 2525.
Good song to represent our society.
And please don't give me that "theft is theft" bullshit. How about the ridiculous prices they charge for food and drink? Even the ticket price is outrageous. And don't tell me a DVD is worth over $20. Now that's stealing.
Be reasonable and you won't have to have a war on everything.
Its a prime location with lots of rocks just like the ones they chuck in the Gaza strip at gun yielding land grabbing Israelis.
Don't worry...things won't change one bit, so we might as well spend money on this real-estate now, especially if it has oil interests so we can suck it dry like a virus and then lease it to our problem neighbors to fight over.
good thinking. and what about people, pets, cars, anything you can think of that you want to find information about?
There really is no end to it.
Now lets go back into archives and what about historical sites?
How about a picture of the stars at night?
Ohhhhhh....I know. [Dexter mode]
A telescope with a recognition database capable of telling you what you are looking at and displays that image overlap partial transparency within your field of view along with Internet information.
The Moon. Crater Name. Distance, Dimensions etc. History. Distance and direction to landing site.
Binoculars! now that would be interesting. You could scan sports events looking for someone.
I agree we don't want Linux turning into Windows. Hence the emulation is a good compromise. Just wish it was a better emulator.
Good point on the fact that XP won't run on that older hardware. Although, Mandrake 10 with KDE is better than XP on resources, I still have to question just how well it would run on those boxes. Hmmmm...time to do some testing.
If it runs well with Win4lin, then your right, its an easy sell.

"We're developing a Windows migration program to make it easier to move to the Linux desktop with training and documentation and migration tools that automate tasks"
Sinicism aside, it would expedite things if Linux had an emulation package that supported a greater number of Windowz appz. Wine and Win4Lin just don't seem to cut it.
Novell is being very smart by aligning its business model with Linux. Although, I hope they don't UnixWare it to SCO this time.

I'm *not* much of an Adobe fan though. They make bad software IMO, save for the satisfactory Photoshop CS.
Macromedia is good but could be better. They are supposedly going to begin testing on Linux. http://news.com.com/2100-7344-5170061.html
Starry Night Pro would be great on Linux. At least there are some good freebies for now like KStars.
Applications may start to take the Web route also. Accounting for example. I'd love to pair up with some geeks on here to start up a company to develop a full web based accounting system in LAMP, seriously lacking in the Linux community.
Also, hardware vendors are going to have to jump on the bandwagon in bigger numbers. Otherwise, we are going to have to wait for all those legacy scanners, printers cameras and other accessories to expire before typical users take the plunge.
So that just leaves games. Well DirectX is not something I see on Linux in the near future. Regardless, businesses thinking to migrate won't shed a tear because Barbie Pet Rescue can't be installed.
In summary, the big migration is coming. The challenge will be converting those tight ass business folk clinging to win 3.11/95/98/ME because they don't want to move forward or rub two nickels together. Same problem that plagues Micro$oft to this day.
Ooooops.

Ya I here ya bro.
I was only using WebShots as an example of rotating pictures.
I can't stand that software when clients install it on my machines.
NewDotNet is a disease!
WebShots BAD, Slashdot GOOD.
lol!

Thanks for fixing the link.
Looks like are minds are linked as well.
Thats uncanny timing.

Trouble is its *not* going to be a simple matter to interface the unit with electronics unless your an e-wizard.

I can *not* get my Digium Zaptel drivers to compile under 2.6.
So there goes my Asterisk install.
To answer the question Why still 2.4?
I'm guessing many others have the same trials and tribulations with third party drivers and software.
lol!

Just go to bangedup.com
Its all that your sick mind will ever need.
I might have missed something, however, what is to stop Google from doing a Micro$oft move and just incorporate said features?
The article after all does hint that this could be just another cat and mouse game.
lol!
We do, its just really rare.
