I use it in X11. there is Gimp for OS X (which I use often) which I think is GTK2, but I did a quick google search and found a lot of references to GTK2. You should be able to install it through fink
I had the same kind of problem with knoppix 3.5 (or around there) on my old toshiba laptop. I had to use 'failsafe' mode (just type in failsafe, or boot failsafe when it starts to boot up from the cd).
However, once I decided to install fedora core 2 on it, everything worked out great. even my wireless worked "out-of-the-box".
Actually, being in college now and looking back at the AP Calc AB and AP Calc BC tests, I can see why they divided it into 2 sections with and two without.
The section with the calculator is what you would expect on a calculus test, but the section without the calculator is an excellent test of your mathematical ability. Not only do they test your calculus knowledge (with several general-case questions using only variables), but they test your basic arithmetical skills. Even though they do not let you use a calculator for those seconds, the actual arithmetic is simple and the trig functions usually equaling 1 or 0. Calculator aren't even needed for those (but it showed me how much I blindly type numbers in my Ti-83)
I was using Cedega 4.2 and 4.4 to run WoW under SuSE9.3 and Ubuntu 5.04, respectively.
The game works fine (Geforce Ti 4200, 128mb VRAM), but there is an odd glitch:
I can't "loot" creatures. Recently, I can't select anything without using 'tab', 'f1' through 'f5', or doing an alt-v an clicking their names above their heads.
Have you noticed this, or any other problems while running WoW under cedega? Lately i've been running WoW on my new powerbook, but i would like to get it running well under cedega as well
When the game went retail, I ran WoW under SuSE 9.3 with Cedega 4.2
It worked perfectly after i fixed the resolution (defaulted to 800x600, looked shitty). Only problem: looting was buggy.
11 months later and Cedega 5.0 almost out, I assume it works perfectly.
I'm currently running it on my pbook with OS X 10.4, otherwise i would have kept up with the linux-cedega development
Ya... except for one important thing: Global warming is a joke. They were calling global cooling 25-30 years ago (I wasn't born yet, but I saw science videos that proclaimed another mini-iceage coming, similar to how modern science videos proclaim global warming.. rediculous)
I'm not sure about the GP poster, but I know the morality of the majority of our politicians (Clinton, anyone? Perhaps the most immoral and most corrupt "leader" of our time) can not be trusted, and we need to keep them in check. Since we as civilians can not simply vote them out because the majority of america won't analyse anything for longer than a comerical, Religeon would be a good way to keep those corrupt individuals from okaying genetic oppression
I never said there was controversy about evolution existing
I never said the Earth was only 5k years old
There was no bastardizaion of science here
I was not lied to, and I know what a scientific 'theory' is
I know very well what the scientific method is, although i have to agree that most students probably do not have a good idea _how_ to use it unless they have actively participated in high-level science courses. the low-level courses are time fillers
"It inhibits science when dogma is allowed to be presented as a credible alternative to scientific theory. Dogma, unlike science, is not, cannot be falsifiable."
however, like 'dogma', creationism can not be proved because it can not be tested to create complex life out of nothingness. So according to your reasoning neither of the two _theories_ are plausible. you disagree? create an experiment to have a universe with an evolved planet with intelligent life. no really, go ahead; i'll wait here for you
I actually have come into contact with many good science books; but most high end courses are more about actually doing something and proving stuff rather than reading. Science books are fine, but Science is constantly changing while experiments produce facts that can aid in education.
anyway, Yes, that thought, or one like it, does come to mind.
usually i think of it as "if this all did happen by chance, then if it didn't happen we wouldn't be here to think about it." It's always on the back of my mind when I think of this topic. We can't know for sure. (my beleif does not coincide with catholic beleifs... I don't agree with whatever crap comes from the bible (so i guess that makes me non-catholic? i dunno))
Actually, we didn't take that much time with it because when we got to the 'evolution' unit we had already covered most of the material that backs up evolution, and this was hardly our first encounter with the theory. I made the mistake in my original post of not stressing enough that it was thought-inducing, which I was trying to point out in reference to the supposed decline of scientific thinking in school.
Evolution exists. But at that particular moment in classes I am refering to my teacher was not refuting evolution, we were merely expressing other views on origins of life. It is my opinion that not evolution "alone" created all the life that we have, in all the complexity it requires. The discussions were because my small class (11 HS seniors in a college class) was interested in the topic and asked questions/ opened discussion.
As far as covering evolutionary material, we did that, in as much as is expected in a Biology 101 equivelant class, and much more
So how is charging $219 for a basic word processor driving down the costs of programs? Oh, but you can get a great deal if you get basic office for $369! it has more, but you get something to make a slideshow with, and a program that can take these values to do cool stuff with them. And the best part -- for this low low price of $369 for standard/basic MS Office, you ALSO get an email program that has a calendar in it!! isn't that great?
I work in a retail store that sells MS software, so I know first hand how expensive they are compared to the competition (Free/free, comerical, or otherwise)
(Oh, and I'm using the "emotion-laden" posts because I'm tired of seeing the same incorrect information being thrown around online and in person time and time again. I guess if someone hears something long enough, they begin to beleive it unless they know the real truth)
*Note: a bunch of you replied with almost the exact thing, so i'm going to lump everything in this repsonce
I like to think that my mind is open, and I try to consider any valid information placed before me.
At this point, I do not know of any research that would explain how evolution from a single-celled organism that accidentally was formed in a pit of premortial ooze could have grown to the complexity of the modern human.
If we just take the point of how a plasma membrane was formed, with a lipid bilayer that REPELLS water on one side could have formed a complete spherical shell, I think it would illustrate the reasons for my statements above without going into each individual detail.
The lipid bilayer is composed of two layers of cholesterol. The outside layer is water-phobic, and would be standing up. These would be able to build a chain very easily; however, how would the second part of the bilayer arange itself on top of the first cholesterol? further then, how would it arrange itself from a line of cholesterol to a cell, and how would that first-cell also have chylophyll or some other means of obtaining sugar and digesting that energy?
Then consider DNA/RNA, all the other organelles that exist in the diverse world, and the complex systems mentioned before somehow arranging itself in the counter-current systems that just happen to be effiecient enough to sustain human life. Am I supposed to be blind and say "it evolved" ? that seems more far-fetched than the other side of the argument that says "God made us that way". I beleive in neither, but more a mix of the two.
I KNOW that evolution exists and that it is a method of speciation. I am not saying god created everything in seven days ect ect.

Do you mean native as in Aqua?

Anyone know if the memory problems that everyone was complaining about in v1.5 is fixed for 2.0?
thanks! I had googled, but couldn't find the right keywords to get useful information

Chances are, he's not going to install linux under vmware to solve the problem ;)

The end never justifies the means.
I've been waiting for that game for 10 years now."
Hmm... should tell you something, eh? :-p
if you've ever progrmmed a for-loop, then you have basically integrated! ;)
I live in PA... there is nothing close to state-wide wireless
It doesn't really help me out unless they release linux version(s). I'm surprised that a company like Google is avoiding it

Last i checked, you don't get much of a corperate support lisence for windows XP at $109
Besides, Synaptic will save you a whole bunch of clicks. all you have to do is click the program than 'apply'. windows has 172 next's

Please don't put words in my mouth (fingers?)
4 or 5 at least... I'm sure there were more, but I only remember those 4 or 5 that seemed either original or plausible
Other than the popular two (evolution and creationism), there are intelligent design, some weird theory about aliens planting life here, and others
Everyone is analysing every single word i wrote in my original post :(
