there is/was a linux netmd project that i found about 6 months ago, at the time, they could rename tracks and move them around whilst on the disk, but not upload, so it was a bit useless for me - i had to reboot and convert all my music, just to change the disks (although i did a couple of times).
Good devices, shame about the propriatry protocol, that appalling application and the drm.
i bought an mp3 player off ebay a few days ago, trying to get it working in linux - anybody know of a good tutorial on the usb mass storage protocol, using udev and hotplug on the 2.6 kernel?
company uses quants plus (open source web dev tool). company adds support for a different scripting language company submits patch to dev team (company's version would be incompatible with new versions of quanta otherwise) quanta plus dev team merges patch community uses new code
also there's the reiserFS buisiness model - you can have our software for free, but you can pay us to develop new features for you (seems theyve taken away a revenue stream there though, by using plugins in reiser4
Thats what happens to a software company that fires all their coders and replaces them with lawyers - you cant expect lawyers to write valid HTML can you?
the "Desktop User" doesn't even have a clue where the control panel is in windows 8 times out of 10.
anyway, there is a yast equivalent (a few actually, using the same backend): there's gnome-terminal for gnome, konsole (very pretty), xterm, rxvt, etc. And there's always just bash.
but seriously, no - get somebody to install slackware for you (desktop user) and just leave it - its as solid as a rock (i like to play with mine alot, which is nice, because slackware seems logical to me)
a dmca violation like the one found in the source code of libdvdcss? not everybody lives in the USA (thank god), and the americans will still beable to download such software (such as libdvdcss), abeit illegally.
i use libdvdcss - its so transparent, its unnoticable - a great piece of software (its not just hacked together)
Maybe microsoft think they can convice the court that StarOffice is the same product as the "product developed by Sun and generally known as Open Office", because it is the same product (just about), just slightly older and released under a different license.
if this is a joke, sorry for not finding it funny - some people will think "ah yes, ye's right - clever"
no, its ascii 13 and ascii 10, 10 and 13, not 10 plus 13 and the chr() is vb code for the charactor representation of the ascii value contained in () for example (iirc) chr(65) would be 'a'
sorry about the mention to vb, i'l bow my head....
sco has deleted their cvs repositry (or supositry, hee hee) and theyre trying to get ibm to give them as much code to fill the gap - it doesn't matter if they ask for the same thing twice, they'll just rename it to file1_0.c file1_1.c etc
it can be done in slackware with slackware packages (not sure about other package managers, i dont use them).
#add this to the users login script (its something like this anyway) mkdir ~/.fakeroot 2>/dev/null export PATH=$PATH:~/.fakeroot 2>/dev/null alias installpkg='installpkg root=~/.fakeroot/
(or something like that)
obviously, this would require not having the noexec flag on the/home partition, which takes away a good security benifit, but if this is the setup you want, this is what you get. i suppose you could make a dir called/user/`whoami` and mark that with the sticky flag, then use that, and only give write access to users which you trust enough not to do anything stupid (dont give it to the receptionists for example) and dont give it to anybody who would be bad ass (somebody who is going to be sacked soon).
is VB.net backwards compatible? i suppose not because of the clr as oppose to the vb runtimes, but i can hope (note the crappy site in my sig, and im only starting to lean c++)
This actually says to me that they might be telling some truth. i think this because gimp was ported to windows, therefore, its code base must be portable and not contain any (or not much) linux specific stuff, and quake was definately written to be portable, so again, no to much os specific code.
obviously if im right, it means most of what tehy are saying is lies, but at least they have a product.
although i do believe this is coincidence and the whole site is complete bollocks.
not to be an arse, but i dont know what you mean. there are many windows only games that require a recent gforce or recent radeon in order to use their transparancies, bump mapping or whatever. even the old open source tux racer has special features such as bump mapping which only works with gforce cards iirc. do you have any other examples of anything more obscure than that?
if ipv6 supports protocol level encryption of all packets (as ive heard, maybe incorrectly), people will need more cpu power, especially on high level servers (very lucrative market, as ppl have already pointed out)
doesn't ipv6 support protocol level encryption - i was told this by a friend who i would expect to know, but this would be illegal in countries where encryption is illegal (france?)
if it doesn't, i'l have to go and beat him with a damp hadock. otherwise, ipv6 does offer you advantages, as long as the server (and every hop between you and the server) supports it.
natting wont go away (at least not straight away) because its so easy at the moment.
also, natting doesn't protect the network from worms, unless its just one super-secure computer - if your running windows XP as a nat-only box, and assume all the boxes behind it are safe, your wrong, it just means it has to root the nat box first.
OT, but do any multiplatform virus's exist yet? ie ones that use multiple venrabilities, then execute the worms code on that machine based on which venrability it used, for example, windows code for the blaster venrability, linux binaries for the [linux venrability] etc.
thats not a troll btw, i just dont know, without researching, any linux or mac venrabilities (i know they exist).

the list was of companies that wouldn't play ball with microsoft, even if the ceo's were threatened of anal probes with usb mass storage devices....
in response to your sig:

i have done rm -rf / and watched my system die (i pressed control and c when i realised i hadn't typed rm -rf
isn't as brave unless your backup partition was mounted read-write
Shut your noise, you!

i know, and at £1 for a pack of 4 duracel AA batteries, surely they could have taken off a little bit of the soar panels or something to compensate.
but seriously, it probably has something to do with weight - a heavy extra battery would require much more fuel, which would cost much more.

i 'wank it' for efficiency. i like efficiency - i use slackware. recompiling your kernel is more effient.
it downloads the device drivers for you automatically - thats far easier than windows or a mac. its as easy as adding xbox hardware to an xbox infact.
