Yahoo! has also relesased the User Interface Library (dubbed YUI Library) it has used to create at least some of the YMail interface under the BSD License. http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/
I've not spent much time playing with it, but it looks like an interesting collection of code.
It's probably due to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH hacking it does. If you set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be that of your fglrx libGL.so folder, it should work.
Also the binary requires 32 bit X11 libraries etc. so it does not run under pure 64 bit mode.
I would also like to add DVR like the PSX console in Japan had too
I just want someone to port MythFrontend to it and I'd be happy (as long as a the plugins compile).
Yeah, naturally the h/w encryption/random num. gen. on the VIA Nehemiah will be faster for doing that. I don't actually use it with any sort of encryption anyway (it's a network boot frontend for MythTV) and so uses plain old NFS (I trust my network, but keep all my media on an encrypted partion (the vast majority of it is morally legal - copies of my own CDs/records/DVDs etc., and recordings of TV etc. but I want to be able to prove a point should anyone come snooping:)
That said, I was wrong when I said that the Nehemiah was not i586 compatible, it is. It is not however i686 compatible. It does report that it is, but I believe from previous experience that there are a couple of instructions it doesn't support, and various VIA forums etc. support this (though I could be miss informed). I do know that it will not boot with a stock pre-compiled kernel from Mandriva for the last few versions as these are compiled for i686. You have to use the i586 kernel which is explicitly compiled for i586 processors for it to work.
Actually come to think of it, it may not be the 10k Nehemiah that doesn't work, but one of the slower, 600MHz versions.... I can't fully remember just now.
Anyways, this has gone a little off topic now, so it's probably enough nonsense from me:)
Cool. I know my Athlon is 100% i586 compatible.... I know what you mean re: modern x86 processors not being fully i586 compatible. My little VIA M10000 MiniITX board springs immediately to mind as an example.
As you can see the results with aes-i586 are significantly better:) The write operations took a lot of CPU cycles in kjournald (I'm using ext3 so you may get better speeds with other filesystems).
Does anyone know of any reason not to use aes-i586.ko?? I assume they are exactly equiv?
Anyways, I've added the line:
alias aes aes-i586 to my modprobe.conf.
So if The Reg is correct, why is MS changing IE? If the patent is nullified, then it's nullified for everyone - MS included.....
Perhaps it was unnullified?
I find it incredibly funny that all the slashdotters here are far to wound up in their own little defensive worlds to spot a joke when they see it.
The Reg runs Otto Stern and Verity Stob and numerous other "joke" stories from time to time as a break from the us from the normal monotony of the usual *real* corporate attacks on Linux etc.!!

Erm.... this is possibly the oldest trick in the world....
Just put a script called "saferm.sh" (or whatever) somewhere in your home directory, and (as $PATH ususally specifies system paths first), put an alias rm='path/to/my/saferm.sh' in your.bashrc.
The script can then move the file your are deleting to your e.g./home/me/Trash folder or something.
if you really want to go crazy and do it system wide, just slap the scripts in a common folder and slap the alias definition in/etc/profile.d/ or similar.
If you want the real rm command, just use the full path.
While not 100% perfect, this technique will work on 99% of accidental deletes.
That said I still don't use it as I tend to prefer teaching myself a lesson when I mess up and "rm -rf/".....

I wonder if I can run VoTP applications?
Where is your script Ash? Sounds interesting...

Thanks to the poster above who pointed this out to me...
:) The write operations took a lot of CPU cycles in kjournald (I'm using ext3 so you may get better speeds with other filesystems).
I am using dm-crypt on top of a level 5, 3 disk SATA raid.
The system just used a normal aes.ko module so I decided to try the aes-i586.ko module (the server is a Athlon XP 2400+ with 512 MB RAM).
Here are my results:

Cheers for the advice.
