If "css support" for IE will be considered its "weakest link", I guess microsoft finally did the right thing and started classifying "easy-remote assistance (from ex-kgb agents)" and "personal data proliferation" as browser features.
Fedora is the fastest growing distro because its converting people that wouldn't normally run a linux server with its ease of setup and install.
When these people running fedora servers get more experiance with linux, they will learn there are much better distro's to run a server on then fedora.
Q2: Which ATI graphics cards can use this driver?
A2:
The ATI Proprietary Linux driver currently supports RADEON 8500 and later AGP or PCI Express graphics products, as well as FireGL 8700 and later products. We do not currently plan to include support for any products earlier than this. Drivers for earlier products should already be available from the DRI Project or Utah-GLX project.
What I don't understand is if this covers my laptops 340M, an IGP card. The laptop is only 14 months old... so I don't know if its considered an "earlier product"...
Part of what makes gentoo awesome is the fact that its not backed by a company, which means you CAN get mplayer easily, you CAN get all the codecs you want for xine at the touch of a button, and there isn't all the bullshit that comes with corporates on the mailing list.
I hope I am seen as speaking from experiance, since fedora was the first distro I used after fdisking my last windows partition, and I eventually found my way to gentoo 4 or so months ago and have no intention on switching any time in the future.
I left fedora when eventually got fed up with seeing legal explinations on fedora-list and the general "we can't do that or we'll get sued attitude" explinations as to why i can't apt-get mplayer from a reliable source. The third party repositories were what eventually killed it for me, with more conflicting gstreamer packages then i wish to count.
Gentoo doesn't need corporate support, its doing fine just the way it is.
Not every linux distro exists to be ran in every environment.
If you want distro's to "unite" for "market share", look towards distro's like yellow dog or ubunto or something more similar to the fedora project, gentoo is something else entirely (IMO), and fits its niche awesomeaicly.
In conclusion: I spilt coffee on my newly purchased gentoo t-shirt yesterday. I was really sad until I realized I just spilt coffee on my gentoo t-shirt. Thats like reaching the sixth plane of geekhood enlightenment, I don't think I've ever been happier:)
Go and get your principal to <b>sign</b> a peice of paper saying you can do this.
This peice of paper should then be treated as your own personal holy grail. I have tried this, and beleive me, you will get more flac from teachers and other students then you can possibly imagine. Imagine the nerv if you, attempting to have fun in a high school. Use this peice of paper to ward off the evil spirts and you may have a hope.
It has to be written and signed, if its possible for you to convince your principal (with the hope of a supporting teacher), you need this so she cannot easily go back on her word when she trys.
It turns out it was much less hassle for myself to rent out the local legion hall, but of course that killed any potential profit.
Not that i have anything against Intel, but i wonder if they aren't in a bit of trouble these days.
Wasn't this supposed to be the Year of the itanium? Were they banking on the fact that it would be the year of the itanium?
And with the story right below this one about how well Intel is going to do with the dual core processors, something which nobody has had a good look at them actually working yet, a few warning bells go off in my head.
put Mozilla Firefox combined with Mozilla Firebird
I'm curious, do you have a patched copy of the old firebird, or do you in fact mean thunderbird?
I haven't got the time to check what security fixes have been in since firebird (.7) and patch them myself, but if i had an updated copy i would definitly be using it.
I love firefox and all, but when i want just a really *really* simple browser, firefird/phoenix as i remember them would be awesome.
Excerpt from the a Honda Engineer's autobiography:
One day, many years ago, I was visiting the scottish isle, and happened to wander by a local collie herding some sheep into a nearbye pen. I thought to myself "what a great idea...
I don't really know which i'd rather see come out next year, CFL 2006 or XFL 2002.
I'm leaning towards XFL 2002, considering the excellent silicon made polygons that were rampant in those games.
Lego just isn't what i used to be. I ripped open a small cousins of mine's lego chest to find out that 90% of the peices were not blocks at all, but specific specialty peices for specific purposes.
All of the imagination has been taken out of it, i'd be supprised if you had to put together more then 20 blocks to build most of what comes out these days, with so much of the pecies custom plastic.
Now lego mindstorm, on the other hand, get together enough of that stuff and you have yourself an army formidable enough to seize control of the neighborhood.
Am I the only one who sees what a bad idea this is? If you thought the n-gage was bad for side-talking, just imagine a keyboard and mouse dangling off of your cranium too.
we could be so lucky.
if it were "dead" we could put it to rest.
unfortunately its more of an "undead" as it wanders around trying a ghostly shell of its former self trying to suck the blood of those that once loved it.

In most cases I would agree with you, but I would give an exception to the PS3.
As a geek and longtime gamer, I'd let go of one of Natalie Portman's breasts to hold onto a cell processor right about now.

Drop in a knoppix disk, then ssh in. Step 1: chroot Step 2: ??? Step 3: PROFIT!

I play catanwith internet friends all the time, but since none of them run linux, we use Settlers3d.
Its an okay game and runs decently under wine. It would be nice to see the gnocatan windows port working though.
I wonder if they aren't waiting for THQ to make an offer, after they saw what a great job the did with WWE: Smackdown Vs Raw.

I think all TLD's should follow this example and adopt an "i" at the end, it just makes the most sense if you think about it.
For example, i could register the following domains:
i-want-an.orgi
you-are-a-filthy.comi
lets-get.bizi
hmmm... i wonder who has 69.69.69.69 and other novelty XXX IP's

nowadays there is more emphasis put on the movements of the lego, shooting the soccerball or hitting the puck or whatnot.
There is little to no more imagination and creativity to that then any old action figure with judo grip action chop.
case in point
as for the best childs toy? board games (i.e labrinth), card games, sets , or perhaps the ever trusty cardboad box.
should read: legos WERE the best childrens toys.
Lego just isn't what i used to be. I ripped open a small cousins of mine's lego chest to find out that 90% of the peices were not blocks at all, but specific specialty peices for specific purposes.

I can't say i've ever seen or heard of it, but i for one welcome a new language to learn and play with.
The gaps between C/C++/[c#|java] are pretty hefty, perhaps this will be a good language to know when you want something inbetween.
