I was talking radeon 7500, R200+ chips. You might have some luck and get one to work with video and 3d acceleration, but you will never get video i/o from the AIW card without some serious kernel tweaking.
I want to build a linux pvr a/v player for the entertainment center. But I'm stuck until I can fine a good graphics card that just works as advertised.
Anyone know of ANY cards that do digital out and analog i/o with good driver support under X?
Next they'll get those eye scanners in Minority Report, so they know exactly when and who enters the building and leaves. Then they'll outsource their database to some company that does data mining as its business. They'll send back nice consolidated reports that show which students in which demographics might be flagged as potential criminals, druggies, computer experts, etc.
Manufacturers? What about us consumers who have to deal with the lack of drivers or features? X isn't some trivial linux package, it is the heart of my system. Today without a video card with good X support Linux is basicly worthless as a desktop system.
I heard ATI had good X support, but half the cards I tried I couldn't get working properly, half the time I needed to use the vesa driver and get no video or 3D acceleration from a 3 year old video card.
This is just crazy. Its rather difficult to support an OS like this, but I thought it was all a lack of support or documentation to write the drivers. I hadn't heard the devs were holding drivers or becoming the bottleneck. I mean, c'mon, get some professionals to work on this already. Sheesh.
I am affraid of any population that fears the information contained in those books.
But I think its obvious by now that anyone who agrees with homeland security is an ignorant fool. They have no idea the state they will be living in if these laws come into full force.
I don't think it ever was one sided. Writing software is innovation. So OSS has been innovating as long and as much as the other systems. Everyone has to learn about OS design from somewhere. Some people learn about it on Solaris, some learn it on Windows. All of these developers bring their experience and knowledge to the table when they write OSS software, so naturally it is going to be similar to other designs. But OSS does not conform or create identical copies, it embraces and extends. It does what is simply logical in most cases. But it is definitely not the only source of innovation.
The economy is not run by our leaders. It just is. It can be pushed in one direction or another, but it is based on our gross national product. That is based on the amount of work we accomplish in a year. More precisely, the amount of valueable/useful work we do, such as creating tools and products that people need, want and use. Most of that work can be automated. Therefore it is possible to build an economy the size of the US in a country the size of Japan. It is also possible to design a society to support itself without the use of money where every individual is taken care of and provided for like every human deserves.
The entire point of psycheology was to understand the human. To understand us. What we are and what all this means. To understand our mind, the psyche, our soul. Our very being. But what did psycheology teach us? That we are a product of our environment, genetics and experiences.
Our genetics can not be altered at this time.
Our experiences are catalyzed by the choices we make from moment to moment. They can be anything we choose. In other words most of our experiences can be good, if we want them to.
And most importantly, our environment. Our environment makes up almost half of what we are. You can take a straight A college student and put 'em in a prison. Within a few weeks they will be acting like prisoners. You can take a janitor and sit him next to me and I can teach him UNIX and networks.
Learning is an act of repetition. Anyone can learn. Even a janitor.
And I believe a janitor than knows UNIX and networks would be more valuable to society than one that doesn't... assuming, of course, that they have any interest in computers.
What I am saying is that with modern technology it is possible to give everyone real freedom. Not the kind that you put on flags. The kind that gives each and every human the right to choose exactly what it is they want to do with their time on this Earth.
If you properly educate everyone they will know they should do something. And all the jobs people don't want to do... well, I'm sure there are enough honorable and good people to help me do a little janitorial work until all those bright kids finish building the robots to replace us... and possibly let us retire. But until then, remember, the work can be fun. Lets try to make it a game, see how fast we can do it.
Life is so sad, when you really, really think about it.
Greenspan has the same effect on the economy as anyone famous. Our economy is based entirely off our perception of the economy. So if everyone thinks the economy is good and spends and buys stock the economy booms. If they feel unsafe and stop spending and stop buying the economy crashes. This also happens when the News informs us that the stock market is about to crash, dotcomcrash, etc.
Unfortunately we still believe it is these famous people who really do all the work.
The problem with this as I see it.. It is entirely possible for two different people to come up with the same idea around the same time. In fact in this day and age where almost every idea has been thought of at one time or another it is very likely that whatever you are creating is not original. However it is still your creation.
I think we need to put less emphasis on crediting people for their ideas as this can cause the loss of money or research and harm to one's ego.
And more emphasis on education and changing the way we work. We need people who's sole job is to examine the jobs other people do on a daily basis and set plans to either automate the job or make it more enjoyable, less harmful and possibly even fun.
In addition to that we need to devalue money and work towards a system that promotes the wellbeing of all mankind instead of one that will create a huge section of poverty, crime and various other side effects of capitalism or any monetary system which imposes class.
Better yet how easy would it have been for us to spread propoganda to the Iraqis people and have them overthrow Saddam? Or offer them free transportation and citizenship in the US to take the wind of Saddam's sails.
But instead we blow our wad before the UN could even give the go ahead.
The only image that comes to mind is Bush raping Saddam, but I'd probably get off on something like that.
To play devil's advocate, what if our current administration truely is keeping us safe by this preemptive strike. I know, I know, it is awefully ironic that Halburton gets the clean-up contracts and all the funding to put out all the oil fires Sadam was polite enough to set before leaving those oil fields to our troops. But at least we won't have to worry about the threat of Iraq for at least another 5 years.
I give more than $5000 a year to the United Terrorists of America. Does that make me a bad person?
Sure, I'm willing to support a government that kills hundreds of thousands of innocent people every decade, if it makes me money. I just don't want to be told about those innocent casualties, m'kay?
I find it ironic that every American has read the book The Boy Who Cried Wolf at one time in their life. But now that our government and George W. cries wolf every other week they blindly accept it as truth.
American or not. Native or not. He's human and I accept him as a fellow citizen.
Solidarity, tolerance, freedom, justice and peace... these are the things I want to have associated with America in the hearts and minds of all people.
But that's not easy when half of us want homeland security, revenge and money. Those desires paint a very different picture of America than what most of us think of when we see that red, white and blue flag blowing in the wind.
What do you associate with America and the flag today after all we've been through?
I'm worried more about our homeland security plans that the wars. I bet our own system will eat itself alive before all the terrorists we are in the process of making get organized and steal some more planes. But its all an illusion anyway, so I guess none of it really matters. Just be happy:)
They won't be able to use AOL on Linux until they have already accepted Linux. But by then I bet it would be too late for AOL. Though I constantly underestimate the ignorance of Americans.
I mean, they really are out there, and they really can hurt us.
Really? Are you sure about that? Less than one in a million people is a terrorist.
I'm more affraid of getting mugged. People usually need a motive for action. You are simply affraid because it appears as if a handful of people have acted without a motive. I assure you that is an incorrect assumption and terrorism is not and never has been a real threat to our country.
Ok, sure, I'll buy that. If you honestly believe there really are terrorists out there to get you then you must also realize the government's secret agenda to conspire to maintain control over its populace at any cost, including the elimination of your freedoms without due process if/when they see fit.
it is enforcement of entirely legitimate intellectual property rights against actual infringers
Listen to yourself, man. You are advocating monopolistic practices as well as the possibility of physical harm to real live human beings over the consuption of a small sample of media that could be infinitely replicated without costing the RIAA or anyone else a penny. You think it is right to hurt our students for "stealing" risking possible prison time and the real threat of physical harm over a few leaves that fell off your Apple tree?
Actually there's plenty of good free music available on the net. Might as well just boycott the RIAA.
How do you steal a song? If you hear it on the radio it is not stealing, but if you steam it over your computer when it was not being played on the radio you are a pirate. But here in America I thought time shifting was a fair use of a copyrighted work. Guess we're not as free as we thought, huh?
The only problem I have with the government going out of control is that in a democracy that should not be possible unless you have a population of morons.

Nah, but 1984 is only one step closer.
Now I'm just waiting for the boot.

XFree86 should have been GPLed anyway.
I doubt a fork matters. Nothing really matters. But maybe if the fork is left open both projects can help eachother. Isn't competition a good thing?
I don't know much about the license for XFree86 or even if that's possible.
Exactly! Its public knowledge.
I am affraid of any population that fears the information contained in those books.
But I think its obvious by now that anyone who agrees with homeland security is an ignorant fool. They have no idea the state they will be living in if these laws come into full force.
Black markets are created by laws.
I'd rather hear about a new moon on jupiter before I die.
We're all going to die someday. I'd rather not know about it before hand and be disappoint by my government one last time.

Its a good thing too. The alternative would be to do away with capitalism when it finally collapses in on itself, as I would have them do.
Managing that dollar bill, although fun, is highly inefficient.

There are no conspiracies.
a few years back they put together a joint plant
I wish more companies would do that.
