I had SUCH high hopes, Google. Now I'm disappointed. I was imagining a world in which I could get rid of logging into FIVE different IM services. But because you've decided not to support server-to-server jabber, I know have to have SIX different IM services.
Shame on you google for talking the talk but not walking the walk. "We're using the open jabber protocol!", cried google. Good for you.
To give you an example of why not supporting server-to-server is bad, imagine a world in which e-mail works like Instant Messaging.
In order to e-mail someone on gmail.com, you would have to send the e-mail FROM gmail.com. To send e-mail to yahoo, you would login to mail.yahoo.com.
That would be silly wouldn't it? Well, that's exactly how ALL of the existing IM services work. Jabber, is the only protocol for IM that addresses this problem. And how does it address this problem? Just like e-mail does, it routes the messages back and forth SERVER-TO-SERVER.
Google's new "Google Talk" service, does no such thing, despite the fact that this is core functionality in most jabber servers.
Did google do this on purpose? Do they intend on turning this on later? Only time will tell. I certainly hope google gets a clue and turns server-to-server jabber on sooner rather than later.
I found this interesting.

Look at the mileage on some of those:)
Specifically, I'm rather proud of some of the VW TDI numbers, proving that reliable proven technology can do almost as good as this new fangled hybrid tech;)
Dante: All right! I'll go through with the deal. I'll let the German scientist hack my foot off. Then him and his friends can have their way with me. All for the flying car.

This is one thing that really bugs me about Distros and Gnome. AFAIK, Debian is the only one that ships Gnome as it comes from the Gnome developers. Ubuntu is next closest.
Gnome did a lot of User testing, and has a HIG (Human Interface Guideline) and yet distributions want to throw that all away to "make it look like Windows".
Kinda sad if you ask me.
(interesting, those screenshots show Suse 9 to be very much like standard Gnome.... and Fedora to have the standard gnome layout, but when I installed Fedora last time, it had the old "RedHat" look...)
I've got a 2004 Diesel VW Beetle, and it's rated at 46MPG.. Didn't cost any more than the regular Beetle. And they are discontinuing it next year supposedly! What is up with that?
It is a regular point to point link, so it can tunnel any TCP/IP stuff. In fact, if you set it up to use ethertap, it tunnels ethernet frames, and you can tunnel IPX, NetBeui, whatever strange things you want, even ARP.
I have an Infocus X1, and it has a the DCDi chip from Farouja in it. It upsamples 480p to 800x600 automatically, but.. here's the funny thing. 480i looks BETTER on this projector, because the Farouja chip does a better job of deinterlacing and inverse 3:2 pulldown than the "Progressive Scan" DVD player I have. So I don't even use 480p, I use 480i over component for DVDs and Composite from my DirecTV dish (the DTV signal is only 480x480 resolution mpeg-2 and look actually WORSE coming out the S-video jack, it emphasises the MPEG-2 compression and makes everything blocky on the projector.. Composite smooths those out because it's blurry)
So the answer to the big question here is.. if you have a GOOD projector or monitor with a GOOD deinterlacer/scaler chipset, then you don't need a HTPC. If you don't, then a HTPC can get you good deinterlacing/scaling for your DVDs.

Because Copyleft isn't a Law, it's just an idea. Copyright is a law.
However, that being said, Copyleft is BASED on Copyright. What they are saying is.. no matter what the license says, you can only make one copy. Of ANYTHING.
So the Book Publishers and Authors need to start suing the printing press companies, since they give them the "right" to make copies so they can sell them.
1) When Debian says "Stable" they MEAN IT, the long release cycles of the stable distribution would benefit the enterprise that needs stable, secure, non-changing software. 2) http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ Does any other Distro have one of these? 3) The sheer number of prepackaged pieces of software. 4) The ability to run a totally Free Software OS.
If realplayer didn't install itself in the path, then realplayer is broken, probably because it put the executable in/usr/lib/realplayer or somewhere stupid like that.
We had our wedding bands made here in Little Rock, AR at a place called "Cecil's Fine Jewelry"... We took in a sketch and the guy designed them using a CAD-like program specifically designed for ring design.. He would render shots of the rings and email us the results.. The the CAD file was shipped to California somewhere and was carved on a computer controlled milling machine. This resulted in a wax version of the rings. Then it was a simple thing to cast the real rings from the wax one by making molds, etc.
Here's a computer rendering of the rings. Rendering

In Linux this is totally possible as the software raid stuff would store the raid configuration on sector 0 of the drive.
I've done this sort of thing with CD-Rs..

Also, this has been removed in 2.6, mainly because it was a stupid implementation.
