How do you know mplayer has 'unknown patent violations', if they're unknown. Are they known to you, but not known to us?

Go into YaST (Menu->Systen->YaST).
Open Software->'Installation Source'. You want to add a yast repository that contains the KDE 3. rpms. Lucky for us SuSErs, almost every suse mirror has them!
You can find mirrors from google if you search 'suse mirrors', and choose the 2nd result.
The directory that you need to choose depends on the mirror, but it is usually along the lines of pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_10.0.
Make sure you choose FTP, or HTTP depending on the server. Enable refresh on the server (this makes yast check to see if the repository is updated each time it's accessed).
Then click finish to close the 'installation source' window. Now in YaST, open 'software management'. What you want to do is display all your installed packages, so you want to filter based on the 'package groups', then choose 'zzz all packages', located at the bottom of the left side. This will show you every package that you have installed, and is available to install. Now click 'Package->All in this List->Update if Newer Version is Available'. Now all the installed packages that can be updated have been selected!
Click 'Accept', and try an solve any conflicts that arise, usually solve each conflict one at a time and click 'OK - Try Again' each time, sometimes solving one conflict removes others.
It'll then tell you of any extra packages that will be needed, and away you go!
I'd settle for a Linux port of the license manager, so I can use the office linux server, instead of an unreliable windows workstation, to serve licenses.
There's a linux port of the 3rd party software they use as a license server, but it doesn't work with autoCAD.
It also won't play xvid/divx avi files, let alone avi files with AC3 streams. Also, it can't play ogg vorbis audio, I mean, come on! Don't tease me like this!

To me, as a Canadian Superman fan, he still stands for Truth and Justice.

How is this any different from movies? All the money goes to sequels, because there is a guaruntee (sort of) on a return on the investment.
Halo sold well, Halo 2 sold better. GTA III sold well, GTA: VC sold better. Super Mario Brothers sold well, SMB 3 sold better.
As long as people buy sequels, sequels will be made. Let the creativity be done by developers that don't own properties, or have properties that have run their course (like Rayman). The problem of course is getting these people funding.
I've already upgraded my xbox 360. When I inserted a backwards compatible xbox (original) game, it prompted me that it can download an update to allow the game to play. It did, and the game worked fine.
They can release updates with new games (like how Live was included with nearly every xbox game after 2002), make them available to download on Live (for free with the 360 because of the 'silver' account), by download from xbox.com and burn to a CD (which you can do with the backwards compatibilty update), or by shipment from MS (again, just like the BC update).
In short, people will wait for the next-gen offerings from Nintendo and Sony.
I didn't. Then again, I also bought a Dreamcast (although it was a year old and use), and I didn't regret it in the least.
Even though the PS2 is the dominator of the last generation, my xbox got LOTs of amazing games, and play-time by me. If the next-gen is the same, then I have no problem! Although, I do think MS will get a larger share this time.
Also, what happened to the recent 'no-to-Sony' boycott?
Kids love to play with boxes too. It doesn't matter what you give them, they'll enjoy almost anything! Heck, as a kid I enjoyed 'playing' arcade games that were still in demo mode (ie no coins inserted).
Movie game THIS season: King Kong. This looks quite good, especially since the developers behind this game made the awesome Beyond Good and Evil! The rule should be: Avoid movie/tv games made by EA.
WWII: Call of Duty 2 is quite an awesome looking and playing game. It, and its' original are a blast.
I agree, launch games are important but not THAT important, especially when you're first out of the gate (next-gen wise).
I can only think of the NES, SNES, and N64 as systems that had launch games that justified the system purchase. (MARIO!)
I'm buying the 360, and a couple launch games, but I'm not getting the system for just the launch games. I'm also getting the system for all the great upcoming games over the next 4/5/6 years. Plus, I have a HD TV, and it's nice to have a system designed for it.
It's Mr. Pants (GBA). But keep in mind they've spent the last few years working on Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero. Those other games were released just to prove they were still alive.
In gaming journalism, previews always seem like positive reviews. NEVER judge a game based on a preview.
Although, I have good faith that King Kong will be an awesome game because Beyond Good and Evil was one of the best games of the current gen. (Same developer)
I would REALLY like to see Sony Consumer Electronics called to the stand by people suing Sony over the rootkit. They could ask them if they believe ripping music is 'fair use', and if not, what the point of their product is.
Kids also learn that life isn't fair. In a free country though, those kids can still succeed, and many often do.
There are thousands of examples of kids from poor backgrounds striking it rich (if that's how you define success), name any rapper for example.
Us people that grew up in middle class families are often spoiled and therefore have less of a drive to succeed at the same level as our parents or grandparents. It's a perfect opportunity for the less fortunate to take their piece of the pie.
My xbox was stolen today! They didn't take my games. If the xbox used this technology, then I wouldn't bother with a replacement, and just get the competition's machine.
A normail Yahoo mail user would train their system by reporting false negatives as they came in. I do that for my gmail, I usually 1 or 2 spams a day in my gmail inbox, about the same as in my yahoo inbox when I used yahoo mail last year.

Sure, download an NES emulator, and make your own ROMs?
Would they also let you download an xbox media center that makes their Windows MCE obsolete?

Perfect Dark Zero is a prequel! Everyone loves prequels!
I haven't played it yet, but I doubt there's any Jar-Jar in it.

I notice you are using an IBM system. Why buy from an unethical company?

Don't forget to make it hidden!

Withholding from Slashdot is withholding it from the world!

Ya, they probably have really tense cross-department picnics.
I can just see the SCE guys going to eat the cake, and the Sony Music guys saying "You can't eat that until we say! It's copywritten!".
Oh well, I guess the moral is that Sony Music doesn't want you to have a cake and eat it too.

yeesh.
