For years, e-mail users complained that torrents of unwanted messages clogged their inboxes and crimped their productivity
Is "unwanted messages" some kind of the latest movie blockbuster or music album? I've never heard of it and I find it strange that its torrent files are clogging up users' inbox.
I predict that, as Africa industrializes, the level of pollution will increase & these catfish will mutate into giant man-eating catfish.
You have forgotten to mention the part where they evolve with frickin' laser on the top of their heads. That's how they're gonna hunt us down, with frickin' laser beams!
In Southeast Asia, catfish that comes out of the water is not really surprising. For example, the "Walking Catfish" can "walk" from pond to pond in search of better living conditions.
One guy with one RPG taking a tank down is one thing, but having to coordinate half a dozen guys with related weaponry to fire simultaneously is much more difficult to do.
Why can't the attackers coordinate through their signal sets?
"Guys, ready to fire! On a count of 3!"
"1......... 2.......... 3!"
You must have played Counter-Strike too much. There is no need to press "U" and enter your message to your real soldiers.
It's no big deal to simulate life forms. I have created an entire life form and simulated its life with this software. The best part, I have managed get it to go through sexual reproduction (think "woohoo").
This might just provide laptops with enough power to run Aero Glass.
This is Slashdot. We wanna know if it has enough power to run a 1600x1200 XGL desktop. And from here, it the older chip 7800 Go is supported. Presumably, these faster version work with XGL.
Thanks, your reply was very informative (mod parent up?) but what I am actually asking is...
Is the 3D desktop feature included out-of-the-box?
That is, do I have to install more packages (other than the 5 CDs) or even compile from sources, other than altering the configurations (such as with gconftool2)?
AIGLX is built in, which is more or less equivalent to XGL. The main difference is that AIGLX is expected to be merged into Xorg soon, and that AIGLX is an incremental backwards-compatible upgrade to X instead of a replacement like GLX is.
"AIGLX is built in", yet "AIGLX is expected to be merged into X soon". Sounds contradictory to me. Care to elaborate further?
But I think I got this right: assuming AIGLX is present in FC5, so one could get the 3D stuff up and running with the preinstalled, default Metacity window manager, without needing to find and install Compiz.
I strongly recommend the Adblock Plus extension for Mozilla Firefox, together with the Adblock Filterset.G Updater extension. The dynamic duo has kept my web browsing experience fast and clean ever since I discovered them.
With the advent of these powerful and extensive adblockers (supports regular expressions!), and the ease of installation and usage, it makes me wonder how online advertisers could survive...
Pure line-of-sight and signals at those frequencies are absorbed by all sorts of things including tree leaves (of all things).
Tree leaves are not really an issue since there is "pure" LOS, no blockages. However, the issue with such high frequency transmissions is the EM wave energy being absorbed by the water molecules present in the atmosphere. This presents a high level of signal attenuation which greatly reduces the range of the wireless tranmitter.
Imagine you get the full data rate before it rains, but when it rains, you're left with just 1/8 of the promised data rate because when it rains, the wireless signal is weakened and causes and physical layer of the network to switch to a more error-resilient physical profile (lower data rate but longer range). Irritating, isn't it?
SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop is the first enterprise Linux desktop to include powerful Xgl-based graphical capabilities. These capabilities take full advantage of the 3-D accelerated hardware commonly shipped in modern systems. With Xgl, SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop delivers an industry-leading end-user experience.
Personally, I find this to be the greatest advantage over other Linux distributions. With this feature, the 3D unit on my Nvidia Geforce 7900 GTX would come in handy even when I'm not playing Tuxracer. Whoopee!
Slashdot Mirror
Not only are they sick, they are rather fat too!
Let me get this straight... you're saying that there's a market for pr0n pix in SVG format?
Come to think of it, his last name would have a better effect. "Wu", i.e. "woo" (who).
Well at least there are no patents that force us to read dupes on Slashdot!
How appropriate...

I think you meant Adblock PLUS.
For those interested, you can find the videos here.

I've tried XGL on Kororaa and I found it to be really cool and functional. Is XGL or equivalent packaged along with FC5?
There are 10 kinds of people: Those who understands binary and those who do not. I see that you belong to the second group.
Hmmm... I haven't read the article, but does it really hold water? Or all the good stuff they have said, are just hot air?

Having seen Novell's demo on XGL, I'm utterly impressed. It will be great if Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 comes with Compiz and XGL.
Good thing I'm using Windows.
