Do the drivers support h264 hardware accelerated video decoding? Currently Nvidia's (awesome) vdpau is the only way to play 1080p movies without frame drops on Linux. These ATI drivers are only interesting if they have this capability.
It's a non-issue in the sense that Firefox can simply rely on multimedia frameworks (e.g. Gstreamer, Directshow) to decode h.264 streams, possibly with hardware acceleration. No need to include the encumbered codec with Firefox itself.
Spider-man 2 and X-men 2 both impressed me more than their respective predecessors. As long as the movie introduces new elements well enough, it should be possible. I can't say anything about sex but food seems to never lose its deliciousness.
If they do this I will buy a few games the moment they are released. I hate DRM but this kind of development needs to be encouraged. Now if only ATI and/or Nvidia would open up their specs, or some open protocol/source solution would come into existence.
It's fast as hell, has a good (looking) multi-touch interface and is cheaper than the Nexus One. Battery life is the only issue I can think of but that's a problem with all similar devices. And I can also confirm that Flash does indeed suck the life out of the battery and Apple was right to exclude it.
Scroll down to firefox-3.5. Stupidly, this package doesn't overwrite the firefox package, meaning that applications will still use 3.0 to open links. Even if you remove the firefox package, firefox-3.5 is still not used. Changing the webbrowser in preferred applications seems to work on some applications...
Anyway, in the end I just simlinked like so: ln -s/usr/bin/firefox-3.5/usr/bin/firefox, and everything worked great.
File-roller, completely up-to-date. But I've had similar experiences with other GTK+ applications. Shouldn't the widget behave the same for all applications?
Picking a directory is tedious and unintuitive. When I just click the OK button to pick the current directory, nothing happens. I have to click an empty space in the directory, to 'select it', first. When I use the crumbtrail to navigate to a parent directory, it automatically selects the child directory I just came from. When I click OK does it pick the current directory, or the selected directory? Who knows. When I open the file picker later it always opens in the parent directory of the previously picked one. Why in the parent?
There are many usability problems with the current file picker.
Well, GTK+ is due for an overhaul. Fix the damn file picker. Get rid of all that excessive padding, maybe by making it themeable. Some consistency in menuitem dimensions would be nice.
Also, either give Metacity some features, at least the bare essentials, or switch to another window manager. That non-optional minimize effect is cringe worthy.
That doesn't change the fact that I had no idea what BT was, and I still didn't know after reading the summary. 'Telecom' should've been in there somewhere.
BT by itself and the only thing my puny brain comes up with is, of course, BitTorrent.
The data is decrypted at some point. Is it that hard to just capture the output from whatever device is doing the decrypting? We only need one person to rip it.

Wow, you're an asshole. Just WOW. I'm bewildered.
Browsers are fucking software. They don't blame anything for anything.
Facebook was down. That's the only that matters to most people.

Too bad they couldn't be bothered to release a Linux version. It would've done well.

Or maybe I'm just weird...
Brazil is still in America right?
Netherlands, fuck yeah!
ps. Why is previewing so damn slooowww?

What's with the Windows 7 plug?
Booting into Ubuntu will be amazingly fast with this Phoenix BIOS. Can't wait until I can get something like this for my PC.
Have you tried DOSBox (http://www.dosbox.com/)? It works quite well.
Anonymous Coward? I swear I didn't check the box. What the hell is going on? I blame...someone else.

Sure, but let's take that one step further, shall we. What do we compare current Linux distros to? Vista? I rest my case.
What, in the name of Zeus's butt-hole, does this have to do with hardware?
science, artificialselection, hardware, power, story
hardly, no, no, no, a bad one
They make things hard on users, but are useless against phishing and keyloggers.
O RLY?
Unlike, for example, the keys to my home. If I give those to complete strangers they are still quite useful. For picking my nose.

The kde file picker has none of these problems.
