Is this true? I would really like S3 suspend/resume to work. I can't make it happen cleanly with linux 2.6.10. Does FreeBSD do a better job? From reading section 11.16.3.2 Suspend/Resume in the FreeBSD manual, it doesn't sound like driver support is much better than Linux. Anyone have good ACPI experiences?
Firefox visibly lags and has recognizable garbage in the framebuffer before it refreshes, and it takes 70% cpu.
And having two CPU cores isn't going to help. It'll still use 70% of one cpu while the other will be at 0%. Firefox is an exception of course. It's user interface is... well, the less said about it the better. Why do developers spend so much time making sure their interfaces are skinnable in order to 'look good', only to neglect the way it works when you actually click, move, or resize.
You must look stupid. You spend all that time walking around a supermarket gathering what you want to buy, only to dump it when you finally notice that the checkouts (which is where you entered the store in the first place) have long queues?!
Yeah, obviously China has a reputation for poor quality, but that doesn't mean Chinese companies aren't capable of creating and implementing good design. People tend to judge on things like Matchbox cars - used to be solid and detailed when made in England, then became cheap & nasty when made in Macau or China. Which is very true. But hopefully Lenovo's acquisition of IBM's stuff will help it to come up with its own good designs in the future (although I keep hearing conflicting reports on where notebook design is actually done and who by).
I love Thinkpads (I have 2 right now) but I won't buy a Levono Thinkpad.
What reasons do you have for that? You don't even know what they're going to be like. It's maybe a bit unfair to assume the ThinkPad standard will go backward under Lenovo. Or other reasons beside technical merits?
So you have a generic, noisy box. You can only keep it cool by having 4 fans in it. You can only make it quiet by drowning out the noise using headphones. It is cheap, and you don't want to pay for anything better. Ok, thanks for letting us know.
Ride a bike and use your legs, remember them?

Macarthur was a badass, Alexander, Napolean, even Rommel, Bush... cough yea right.
The only reason Bush doesn't look that way is because you're living in the same lifetime. I bet Napolean was as much a joke as Bush is, back in his day. That's not to say I think Bush will go down in history the same as those guys.
Bringing all that shit together really gives me a bad taste about Sydney. Fortunately I live toward the north and to be honest, I haven't really ever seen or experienced any of what you describe. Did have some trouble at Parramatta one night though, and a few times riding the trains, although those are so bad that I mostly drive now. You forgot to mention the road rage incidents too; I read of a few that involved a gun being pulled. Stuff being politically correct; these people stink.
As usual, no reasons for buying the RAID card are given. Let me guess... you once tried to get software RAID working, but couldn't. Oh well, part of having a RAID is feeling better about your storage, so if the card makes you happy, fine.
So you stuffed up (didn't create it properly). That says nothing about Linux software RAID. It's just as easy to break a 'hardware' RAID, and what happens when the RAID hardware itself breaks?
Aside from the encoding/decoding features, doesn't anybody experience terrible 'noise' and feedback through their on-board sound? I've got an ASUS nforce board with horrendous noise from any speaker outs - whenever you move the mouse, see some disk access or use the CPU, there's a noticeable buzzing/hissing sound. Maybe it's cause I mostly use headphones, but I hardly ever see people complain about this. With a SB Live in the PCI slot there's no hiss.
On the other hand I have a ThinkPad R50 with nice clean on-board sound, no hiss at all. Is this preventable or is it just bad design?
Yeah yeah, another good RAID samaritan. Fact is, failures in RAM, the filesystem implementation, OS etc. are very, very rare compared to hard disks developing bad sectors or failing to spin up properly. I've been saved from a bad hard disk twice since I setup software RAID 1 about three years back, and yes it's just for storing "my DVDs" (music actually). I know it doesn't protect me from a rm -rf/ or a power surge or a fire or anything except a bad disk. But since bad disks are comparatively common, there's good value in running a RAID. Getting back on-topic, I wouldn't care if a chipset had RAID built in or not - can't see a reason not to use software RAID anyway.
I know that's a good achievement, but not so relevant... doesn't give great performance right? The trouble is that the faster ATI cards are nowhere on Linux. A right PITA.
Where is ntfsclone in the latest KNOPPIX? I tried version 3.4 I think it was - couldn't find it anywhere, so had to revert to 3.3. There was an ntfsprogs package but it didn't seem to include all the tools. That's all I use KNOPPIX for - making an image of my Win2K partition.

Just like all those pretty web pages.

Even if all the beautiful goodness of E17 went final and was bug free tomorrow, the lack of integration of all the apps would suck.
What integration? If you replaced kwin or metacity with enlightenment, what integration between apps would you lose?

Well the majority of adults read nothing at all. So it isn't hard to know.

Sadly PC-PINE is not open source and stores (or used to store, I gave up on it ages ago) email in some weird non-standard mbox format.
Your insight astounds.

theyre cut down in their prime
Their prime was in version 2 and that was quite a while ago.
start some free Winamp like project in the Firefox vein
Tried foobar?
I seem to remember running some DirectInput samples from a Microsoft SDK that handled keyboard input just fine, no matter how I mashed the keyboard.
Regardless, it is never an issue in any game, so obviously there's a way of writing input routines that differs from your standard WM_KEY* stuff.
