Are these guys retarded?
How the crap do you claim a LAPTOP to be linux-compatable if its ACPI and video card arent supporterd? What about the wireless card?
I have almost the exact same laptop (Fujitsu Lifebook), only mine also has a wireless card. Even though the video card is older and has "good support" (reasonably reliable drivers), it still cannot do 3D whatsoever. Installing the ATI drivers gave it 3D, but it was buggy, and generally useless.
Using Winex for games on it is like a wild adventure, filled with crazy shapes, hilarious framerates, and stalling your computer when your about to win.
The kernel radeon module worked okay in 2D, but it had screen-refreshing issues; like youd expect from a 4mb onboard video card in windows XP.
I really hope ATI puts more work into fixing their Linux drivers; or open-sources them.

Exactly. THis whole thing is kinda pointless unless youre a reporter planning on travelling around!
So yeah, non-biased press is the more common thing people consider when they think of free press. If they were to compare press on this scheme they would have to do serious research and study to determine how freely the media releases a variety of viewpoints based on actual reporting, the results would be different. In that situation Canada and the US would be much farther apart in their rating, as would other countries with an ecenomically propagated self-censoring media structure. Its countries where this happens that are going to be a greater problem in the future! Whats the point in Jailing disobedient media when there is none left??
yeah but wasnt the main problem with buffer overflows something to do with system memory?
isnt AMD and Intel set to release chips with this kind of security capability by christmas? then all we need is kernel modules for it, right?
But whats stated is true, whats bios got to do with truth? Wording? Who cares if bias caused him to use more effective wording.
Windows 98 was rather monolithic, as was windows 95. XP is still essentially monolithic - despite what we were told, you still NEED to restart it way too much. In linux, you can restart services. Multi-user user use on previous windows's was there, but it didnt serve much purpose since there has only recently been a security part added on - and its quite useless really. YOu cant even play most games as a User, and Power User has too much power.
The price of cars has risen due to massive (and i mean massive) innovation, research, and advancement. The car industry employs Lots and LOTS of people to do very complicated tasks. The recording industry has seen the difficulty of their job (to distribute music) not only become much easier - its been eliminated entirely! All due to technology! Like Laim Lynch, artists can now record in their basement and sell it on their site. Thats all thats needed - no studio, no factory, nothing; the cost is magnitudes lower than it was. What were at here, is a media paradyme shift, only the industries are turning their backs to it; trying to snuff it, out or put a dog leash on it. You cannot tame technology or science!!
As for the original topic (warez), im just surprised t
eh? it works with debian files? is mandrake still a dependency nightmare? does urpmi just use.deb files, or is it actually as smart as aptitude or portage - handling dependencies and sources automatically ??
Overall, i think the thing that seperates geeks ultimately is not intellect - it is the urge to learn and understand. I have known many geeks who were not that smart- but they were tenacious, and wanted to learn. Its the people who dont try, or dont want to learn that bother me... i just dont understand them. What is their purpose in life, anyway?
Okay... and whose gonna pay for all these crazy RFID things? Us citizens? Forget that, cars are plenty expensive enough as is, with all those features. Next we'll have RFID's with 'features' such as "auto-positioning" (only $300 extra!).
Yeesh. It might be okay if they used the increased revenue from traffic tickets to pay for the RFID tags, but that wont happen. Insurance companies are gonna try to force these in; to save them money - why dont we let them pay for the RFID tags?
Diebold, Diebold, Diebold... you didnt try, and you failed miserably - so now its time to straighten up and fly right. All you can do now, is scrap the machines and start over from scratch.
And this time, put your whole ass into it.
ok, ok... the obvious thing to do at this point for the Democrats, is to write a virus that infects Diebold machines and causes them to win. Definitely. Then the Republicans and their spies would learn of it, and try to make better viruses to stop the Democrats viruses. Before you know it, the election will be put on hold, and programmers everywhere will have jobs!:D Now thats what i call politics.
Id rather have something like that if it could use an AGP video card and 1 pci slot. In fact, ive been waiting for something like that for 4 years and it doesnt seem to be happening:(
I now use a Shuttle PC and an LCD screen. Im probably gonna end up making my own laptop in a few years - the "suitcase" Laptop! Weighs only 25 lbs; fits easily into most overhead storage bins.
i would go to that theme park in a second! youd get to play with all the stuff and build your own coasters... nevermind riding them, building them is the fun part
jobs might be going overboard, but at least his intentions arent shady and ethicically morbid, like some (at the top) buisnessmen out there. It seems like his ambition is just to be the head of a high quality empire, not money - and thats a nice change!

Review: KDE 3.2
·
· Score: -1, Troll
-aka Kde 3.2
Hello! Have you people actually tried using kde3.2 for more than a couple of hours? Its so Borken its not even fnnuy. Its slow-the-fuck-down factor is so high, its INSANE! Ive had it slow-the-fuck-down from leaving it running too long, or doing something irregular. Eg: Tried to mount a usb drive that wasnt plugged in yet (oops!)... so it sits there with a bouncing hourglass for 10 minutes, then i Xkiled the empty window (bad move) and after that it was like HOLY MOLASSES IN JANUARY!! Told it to "Shut Down", went down the street, got a coffee, and when i got back it was BORKED. The error logfile was like: "We've taken a critical hit! We're goin down! Ahh!!! NOoO!! *THUD* "
Possible Reason?? --> ITS Full of evil little bugs waiting to happen! Thousands of them! Theyre ammassing and creating a resistance known as the "Resistee". Yeah, i know.. thats a stupid name.. Seriously, i hope the KDE team does more RC releases and tries to fix it up completely, because they're really close to having 'the bestest W.M. EVER!' come on Kde! You can do it!
The updates for kde 3.14 released in January (not december) were the same way; and kdelibs had a fight with alsa.
Although, last time i used a "New" version of Gnome, it locked up SO MUCH.. and I couldnt modify ANYTHING! GRR!! --> BALETED!!
As of now, i use Fluxbox - its really really fast, it never gets errors (except for that one error involving a half-eaten mustard sandwich..) and it can usurp as much KDE coolness as i want... i really dont understand why it can utilize kde so much more effeciently than kde itself...
In fluxbox if you make a menu item to mount a drive, and it cant mount the drive, what happens? NOTHING!! If you get an error in a program like koneueror? It exits immediately! DAMN STRAIGHT!
hey, whose competing? you can run kde stuff in gome and vice verca - everyones a winner!
in my opinion, the next step is making it, FASTER! FASTER! FASTER! FASTER! FASTER! FASTER! FASTER! FASTER! FASTER! FASTER! FASTER! FASTER! and also cooler looking themez!
I have a 2.4 ghz (really fast) machine, and im *when running, kde would occasionally slow to a crawl for no reason (it didnt before v3.1.4)... i mean, i had to restart, and it still randomly did it.. i eventually (out of exasperation) switched to Fluxbox...
For just $19.95, you can have the product you wish to purchase branded with the EPC code of your choice! You can choose from any letter or number, including words/phrases; up to a total of 20 characters!
*Imagine owning a handgun that has your name inscribed on it - as the EPC Code! WOW! AMAZING!*
Man, CDR's are so unreliable, its sad! Especially those ones that have no label on the front. And now they cost almost as much per MB as a hard drive (in Canada)... guess which one im gonna buy.
Ive found that those CD cases that hold 50 CD's, scratch CDR's enough to render them useless after a few months. Mayby this is a ploy by the RIAA to stop people from buying burnable CD's!
"journalized" FS's need to become better at saving the actual data files instead of getting faster and less reliable! Oh yay, Dancing trees... what happens when they all fall down! DOOM!
Ive had my whole system "borked" several times because i kept running into software bugs... On several occasions i had to rebuild the tree (from a Gentoo LiveCD) - but it BORKED lots of stuff and made a HUGE lost+found directory filled with juicy anihilated files. When i tried using ext3, it was like molasses in January... what we need, is a decent compromise between speed and reliability!!
Nowadays i back my entire system onto a USB2 drive (often), then unmount it (or mount as read only). Havent lost a file since.:D
Slashdot Mirror
whats .rpm support?
if it runs fedora, it has to "support" rpms.

By the look of things, Yes.
okay - like most other companies these days, they WILL definitely want some sort of copy protection.

is it compatable with windows?! I know i know... but theres still some games that unfortunately work best in windows and directx :P
