lol... and how would windows load that? see if microsoft were smart they'd let me put it on some other form of removable media like a flash drive. I have no problem's with gentoo however. like I said only when I've forgotten to put it in the kernel. and I've resolved that problem by no longer only having one kernel. I have my last known stable(everything works kernel) and my testing or I just compiled kernel.
bagh it's not a requirement in linux and it shouldn't be a requirement. I'm not spending $10 on a piece of hardware that I don't want and will only use once every six months, if that. microsoft could make it work they've chosen not to. the point is hardware doesn't just work in windows. I had to format windows once just to get it to recognize a working modem. I'm a PC technician I fix windows crap all the time. and to have to wipe the operating system to make a piece of hardware work is rediculous.
I have a raid SATA hd. I have never gotten XP to recognize it in the install. why? I don't have a floppy drive. why I think they are antiques. but linux get's it installed every time. infact I install linux to it. the only time I've had problems is when I forget to put it in the kernel. but in distro's like red hat, mandriva, suse, ubuntu. where things aren't as manual as gentoo, I have no problem. so how do you install xp to a sata raid without a floppy drive. answer is you don't.
window's documentation sucks. linux has great doc's. and you want books there are plenty of them for linux the real problem is each distrobution is different. but our community is better and if we have a bug and can show it we can tell the developer's and it will be fixed soon, unlike windows which can take weeks's months, years. never.
right and then a nasty virus or worm will hit microsoft and take down the computer your using to access there online office but in the process it will corrupt all of your important data. and the problem won't get fixed for a month. sorry... I don't care if they do, do that. when google does it I might try it. and why are we impressed with OOo on a flash drive? I could have done that? that's news?
heck like stated up above this isn't just sony. it's getting to the point where it MS corp verses everyone else. sony, sun, opensource, if they're right. and blueray uses java, the ps3 also runs linux. so the success of hd-dvd and vista, may be the ultimate decider in the victory or loss of microsoft in the war...
one problem some IM's redirect to port 80 if their default port is unavailable. I know gaim does. and I tricked my gf parent's into thinking she wasn't talking to me once, because I was logged on to msn with 2 different account's so it couldn't be me... lol. stepping around the flagpole. of course a layer 7 firewall could block all IM client's trying to go through any port.
I hate to tell you but a lot of people play for the game. and a lot play for profit. I didn't really care about saying play to win though... I just needed a title and then to explain it. if you play for the game you don't mind losing, infact you may not try very hard to win. if you play for profit, you don't have to be on top, but you want to walk away with something, like a poker player who goes home $75 richer but didn't win the $200 and is still satisfied, or a gaming company that makes really popular games, but they aren't as big as EA. if you play to win... you want to be on top. where no one can touch you but everyone want's to... if your good enough you'll make it all the way... microsoft made it, question is how long will they hold there title. problem is open source doesn't play to win. we just play the game. we happen to be naturally better at our moves, but do less to publicize them, and profit from them. to win we'd have to push harder, but that would require financial backing only a few have, like google.
Microsoft plays to win. so must the opensource community. we have to fight them until we don't have to constantly reverse engineer all there source just so we can have intercompatibility. until we can go to a store and pick up a copy of whatever software we want for linux or mac or whatever OS you use. until we don't have to pay licensing for something we don't want because it comes included. Until the world realizes that using.doc isn't acceptable for a standard format because in theory only someone with word can make one, and that's $100 application. until the only supported web browsers on a page are not just netscape, IE, AOL, and if your lucky safari. until our linux drivers are just as robust as they are in windows.
I agree an not only force them to make it cross compatible but fully cross comptable. like I can run neverwinter nights in linux... but sound options are missing and it runs slow. and there is no toolkit. driver's are especially important. all hardware manufacturer's should be forced to develop fully featured cross platform drivers. or open source there drivers. it's not like we buy hardware for drivers usually anyway. we just want good hardware that works in our os. infact I'd dare say some companies would increase sales if they open sourced there drivers. you still have to pay for the hardware, drivers are usually free.
I'll agree with this I have a project that I'm supposed to be a developer on and it's never got out of water. and one that I started, because there is no application in linux that I'm aware of capable of doing it. but then I decided I'm not really a programmer and abandoned it. it's still there though. I may decide to reopen it someday when I have use for it again.
yeah but those of us using gentoo will have to wait a month before the revision is marked stable. kinda like firefox 1.5 still not stable how long has it been out? (shakes head) gentoo used to be better. @#$% microsoft for taking the maker.
The 1st death star could only fire it's superlaser a limited amount of times in a day. the second one could fire it a few times per minute but it caried less power and doing it that often only allowed it enough power to destroy capital ships, although I imagine if you did blast a planet with a lesser charge it would still be like nuking something. lol that's what I'd do. "oh you don't like it?" BLAM. capital city gone. "I can turn this thing up you know"
I don't know when it started, or who with, but my guess is to make linux easier to use for people coming from windows, we have applications that contains links to folders like/My\ Downloads/ its time to get rid of that especially since it's like the only folder I have with a capital letter for the start. and yes I know I could change this myself.Firefox is one of these apps, yeah guys you can change this from being a default. windows won't be so we don't want or need it either.
unlike some of the people who replied I know what ur saying I dual boot gentoo linux/ windows xp because games (most) don't work or work as well in linux. I have gotten neverwinter nights to work but it ran slow. windows machines don't have higher end hardware but they do have better drivers, I know that ATI only updates linux drivers about 1/10 to 1/100 of the time for their windows versions, and these drivers are less robust to start. and creative doesn't even make drivers for linux (alsa sounds fine to me though) nvidia isn't any different. I hope this changes but... it may not. and emulation is not the same as running it natively, I shouldn't have to run one processor sucker just to run another, when I could run it without. and yes I've used wine and it doesn't use that much, but you need all you can get with games like doom3.
Gmail isn't really a threat to exchange it's a threat to MSN and Hotmail. which is owned by Who? Microsoft. I use gmail, why I don't have annoying flash ads, 2GB+ space, and free POP. I would have to pay for that elsewhere.
I read it and unlike other people I thought it was a good book. actually that's what I thought of when I read this so I went hunting for a post on prey. especially the reference to ecoli.

downloading or uploading viruses?
no of course the data won't, I was talking about the server.
right and then a nasty virus or worm will hit microsoft and take down the computer your using to access there online office but in the process it will corrupt all of your important data. and the problem won't get fixed for a month. sorry... I don't care if they do, do that. when google does it I might try it. and why are we impressed with OOo on a flash drive? I could have done that? that's news?
that is dangerous. then everyone would realise just how much crap there is in M$ code. and have proof...

I have one question. If it were an open source project with a good update system, would you still sell your vehicle?
