  1. Re:transgression on GCC-2.95 in July · · Score: 1

    I think they made it quite a bit stricter on some inline asm things, which broke some parts of the kernel. pre-2.2 kernels has "DO NOT COMPILE WITH EGCS" all over em or something :)

  2. I think I'll buy the educational one on VMware version 1.0 released · · Score: 1

    this thing is so damn cool, and we need to dispell the "Linux users never buy things" myth.

    *thinks of the myriad of uses to which it can be put*

    *thinks: its 3:15am, i need sleep*

  3. We do: Hardware on SGI, others embracing Linux · · Score: 0

    'nuff said :)

  4. xzoom on Netscape 4.6 · · Score: 1

    that program rocks.

    Also, if you get really bored you can get nifty hall of mirrors effects with it.

  5. Re:How'd you do that? on Linux 2.3.0 · · Score: 1

    might be running ruptimed

  6. Defending against this on Phasers, Tasers and Stun Guns, oh my! · · Score: 1

    I think a simple defense against this could be aluminum foil, ground yourself and shield against the RF part of it.

    It seems very similar to Quake's lightning gun, infact I once suggested that this might be how it worked (drunk, in a pub. The topics you get are amazing)

  7. Re:Which port does Quake use? on Denial of Service bounty hunters · · Score: 2

    The default ports are:
    Quake: 26000
    QuakeWorld: 27500
    Quake2: 27800(?)
    Quake3: 27960

  8. European Mirror Cluster on Q3Test 1.05 for Linux released · · Score: 1

    Here points to a revolving (revolting?) DNS that'll send to one of five well connected sites serving Q3Atest, for all OS's availible

  9. Re:kde getting on /. on Pair of KDE Stories · · Score: 1

    Gnumeric is looking good, it has a proper plugin interface thats not *too* hard to program for, even I managed to hack in a gnuplot plugin.

    Given a load of formulae, printing ability, and a bit of corba type embedding stuff, it could kickass. Now for a wordprocessor :)

  10. Re:Public Means THEY OWN YOU! on Cygnus going public in the next six months? · · Score: 1

    yeh, it means they have some ownership of the company. However, directors have a tendancy to keep a controlling interest (>50% in theory, but you can usually get away with 35%)

    Besides, the work they've done is GPL'd so we wont loose it anyhow.

  11. Re:Certainly not FUD... on The Practical Manager's Guide to Linux · · Score: 1

    i know the internet worm wasnt a real virus, but it had the same kind of effect. That's ages old.

  12. Re:How about a portable as a terminal? on Sinclair Does Linux · · Score: 1

    This is what VNC was based on. When ORL (Now owned by AT+T) made it, it was for a very simple portable computer. The system was called Teleport

  13. Sinclair QL on Sinclair Does Linux · · Score: 1

    I read that Linus programmed on the QL, apparently the keyboard broke and he couldnt get a replacement, so he was writing a driver for a different keyboard.

    Read this in the PCW(UK) Linux Column

  14. ARM SMP on Intel's StrongArm Roadmap · · Score: 1

    IIRC they have no SMP ability, could still do a beowulf style thing tho.

    They are nice chips in general.

  15. Remote Display (Good and Bad news for Mac fans) on Q3T on Mac First · · Score: 1

    Theres is Display Ghostscript, I got it from the gnome cvs by accident.

    It wasnt too fast, and was quite buggy when i tried it, a few months ago

  16. Linux does have a central testing point on Gates: "Linux will have Limited Impact" · · Score: 1

    Its just a VERY big point :)

  17. GLUT? on Metroworks release Cross Platform Game Framework · · Score: 1

    Not all games are 3D, it may look like that at the moment tho :)

  18. wmaker on GNOME-steaders · · Score: 1

    Uh, I dont know why this is *here*, but if you want you can make the dock single click, its only a bit of code...

  19. Library Version Problems Resolved Yet? on Feature:The Story of PNG · · Score: 1

    A lot of png's I've drawn (In Gimp) have had problems with alpha in various programs, both linux, windows and mac.

    When I compiled Gnome I had various problems.

    What is the 'Correct' version of libPng to be using?
