It needs root? Then it isn't actually a problem. Root can do anything. If you want to insert malicious code in kernel space, use insmod. For stuff that can't be done that way, in theory, (!) you could perform any modification you like on the kernel through/dev/mem. Root is SUPPOSED to be able to fuck things up!
Or NS:CO, for Quake 3. I prefer it to True Combat in everything except the aiming system. TCs aiming system is brilliant from a realism viewpoint. The only problem is that there are not always many players online.
I know; I use it myself (not on SuSE). But that isn't an example of KDE actually using Compiz/XGL features, that's just Compiz doing the window management while KDE continues to do everything it does with a normal X server.
In any case, get Quinnstorm's patched Compiz, which has it's own GUI configurator (not to mention exciting new plugins); or if you want to use stock Compiz you can still use gconf-editor, which is a pain but is at least GUI.
Presumably the composite stuff mentioned will be able to use a number of compositing systems, including the existing extensions and XGL.
However, I do agree that it would be nice to see integration of KDE with XGL/AIGLX, especially in window management. A KDE equivelant of compiz, or even just of gnome-window-decorator, would be nice.
christel "was lilo wearing a helmet and was the car driver responsible? if they are responsible will they be charged?"
christel lilo was not wearing a helmet, we are unsure at this point about what will happen wrt the driver of the car
christel from what we know, it was a hit and run
christel and the driver has not yet been found
No, it's not verifiable, although if you ask around people will agree that christel said this. It is all very sudden and I don't think anyone knows yet. I'm sure his family have better things to do right now than a) finding out what the police are doing about the driver and b) telling Freenode about it.
BTW, I don't think I did express an opinion about CCTV. In any case, lets not discuss that here.
Sorry, I was tired. What I meant was that I find any extra weight on the handlebars makes the steering feel heavier and causes you to have to exert more force to change direction. It's why I have a basket mounted behind me.
Granted, but this was a hit-and-run. That means that after hitting him, the driver drove off to avoid having to face the consequences, probably lengthening the time it took for help to arrive. That isn't an error, it's a deliberate, selfish attempt to get himself off the hook. I hope someone witnessed it and got the licence plate number, because IIRC the driver can go to prison for not stopping.
BTW I don't agree with the GP, I just don't think "to err is human" applies here.
If you don't have any sort of neck trouble, I find it's much better, and probably safer, to just look over your shoulder. There isn't really anywhere to mount a mirror which gives more than a tiny viewable area, and in any case it unbalances the handlebars and makes it harder to steer.
Good cyclists should train themselves to look over their shoulders before doing anything, just as you have to train yourself to check your mirrors in a car.
Also, I second the bit about assuming that people are out to kill you, but I feel that applies to driving, walking across roads, etc. Most people are basically not careful enough to have a car.
I would still say it depends on the distro. I use Gentoo, and yes, it took some tweaking. Certain distros, however, now have some very nice hardware recognition stuff which basically does the drivers, and the xorg.conf tweaking, automatically.
NVidia drivers may be a little difficult to set up if your distro doesn't do it for you, but they are certainly not crap. In fact, they typically produce 5-10% higher frame rate than the same hardware under Windows.
Buggy package? It runs, then doesn't burn anything. If it's a bug, it's almost certainly a but in cdrtools, and if that is the case then I prefer dvdrtools simply for not having that bug.
I think cortana's post describes my problem more accurately:).
Sorry for repost - Didn't mean to post AC. Also, forgot to say that dvdrtools may not be a perfect drop-in, but if cdrtools binaries are symlinked to it then frontends such as K3B are basically happy to use them. I don't know which features are different or missing, but it works for me.
Dvdrtools also works in some CD-only situations where cdrtools doesn't. For example, I have never managed to burn anything on my machine using cdrecord, and had to use frontends that support cdrdao instead until I found dvdrtools. I don't know why this is but I've heard that people have also disagreed with Schilling about some driver issues.
There is a small utility called dos2unix which changes MS-style line endings in text files to Unix style./usr/bin/mac2unix is symlinked to dos2unix on my Gentoo box, so I guess it can fix MacOs line endings too.
No no. The volume knobs are REAL. The site even explains how they work!
The point here is the micro vibrations created by the volume pots and knobs find their way into the delicate signal path and cause degradation (Bad vibrations equal bad sound).
This is offtopic, but I have to mention this while we're talking about audiophiles. About a month ago, I saw in a shop a device even more blatantly pointless than this NIC. It was an "A/V USB cable". Gold-plated. That's right, ordinary USB cables are not good enough for running a projector, presumably because those cheap stainless steel USB connectors introduce too much noise into the (digital) signal.
(For anyone who doesn't frequent the same shops as crazy people, it is common to gold-plate the connectors of analogue audio connectors to improve the quality of the signal. Presumably the untarnishable gold reduces the resistance of the connection. This gets taken to rather silly extremes when gold-plated 3.5mm connectors are marketed for use with low-quality stuff like MP3 players.)
Sorry about that... Was there was a previous announcement stating that there wouldn't be a port? I seem to remember reading something around the time that the kdelibs port was announced (so yeah, I was pretty out of date). I hadn't heard about Amarok 2.0.

A dirty bomb. Dunno how big. It's not a nuclear explosion, it's a lot of rocket fuel + some radioactive stuff.

Um, Canada probably wasn't in the far north when those fossils died. It's called continental drift.

Might they not have some sort of antenna leading out of the case?
Also, offtopic question: does your sig actually work?

The case would survive. The iPod wouldn't.

Doesn't it have to be on the equator?

Yes, because we thought we'd get a better FPS increase from lower network latency.
