Bah, don't worry; Adium will quickly integrate support I'm sure. I don't know about you but I'd prefer Adium over the Pidgin design for ANY operating system any day. Unfortunately they use Mac only frameworks. Porting (and most likely using an easy OS independent toolkit like Qt) would be a great project for inactive coders. Dunno about you, but I find Skype's interface 20 times more attractive than Pidgin's. Skype uses Qt 4.
None of these issues involve CentOS themselves. iwl3945 in the linux kernel supports every aspect of the 3945abg - from monitor support to the little slashy lights laptops have under the display that shows wireless activity. Alps is also fully supported in X11, configure xorg.conf for it.
Not a big deal; right now I'm using 32-bit Windows XP Home edition as my primary OS and 32-bit CentOS 5 is in a virtual machine for Linux open-source software development
You're hardly a software developer - you aren't willing to find solutions yourself - you expect some distro with a dickhead of an admin to make it so it magically works. Seriously, these issues you list don't exist and don't depend on the distro at all. You're a developer - compile your own kernel.
but I'm wondering if anyone has backported the newer Alps touchpad driver to work with CentOS's version of X
The source code is free. CentOS doesn't use an ancient version, so compile it. git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-input-synaptics/. That's what synaptics and alps use. Backported? wtf? CentOS uses X.org code so I'm a little lost on what the hell you mean.
Anyways, my point of this response is that your issues are bullshit if you are going to wear a developer's mask.
The problem is some spirituals, such as Christians, believe cloning is like playing God, and should be eschewed by all means.
In that sense, we are in fact playing a role of their "God". Why don't they pray to their god and tell him to finally show himself in a physical sense and then we can discuss what his little rules are regarding this. This reminds me of that quote, "God did not create man in his own image, rather, man created God in his own image." Science is becoming God.
Okay, i'll look like some troll already mods, but give me a second.
I just feel that this is just another promo ad that gets sent to tech sites from some publicists to get the title of the technology spread with their name on it.
Yeah I'll stop. Mod me down. I just think it's odd that this stuff gets press like it's something brand new. Perhaps sell us by saying its much better? Something. Please.
The OLPC package is nice, but promotion words promotion description blah blah DamnSmallLinux http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ blah blah advertisement promo.
err.. how much are the DSL devs paying you for this promo? Let me know as I am interested in a piece of the action, dude.
I've already gone through the posts and see people typing "ID" referring to the company as if they're initials or something. The damn word is id! And I'm sure you've been told that a million times, but your ignorant memory struggles to remember that! It's id - a word - not I.D.
What's the next one on the list to go over, how about the fact that Trolltech's (now Nokia's) toolkit is a word, not an acronym. Qt (pronounced cute) - not Q.T. grr. I could go on with you and your "unix daymon" retarded pronunciation habit as well, but my arm is getting tired of the cane shaking.
Does anyone recall the "racial caution" given to asian people (and by asian, I mean oriental, not the rest of asia that is usually ignored when people say asia)
Sorry man, don't ever link anything X11, especially compiz or DEs like KDE4 to a Linux kernel. There's only a ton more OSs that use compiz, KDE and X11 as well. I can list off the BSDs and Open and retail Solaris, that's enough to prove the point.
Are you suggesting that chimpanzees on segways be sent to the ocean floor to repair cables? Do segways even work underwater? Also, you'd have to design a special SCUBA suit for the chimps.
Only on Slashdot would such a comment be modded +5 Informative. Only on Slashdot.
Actually, editor fail. The article is referring to Qt - not QT.
You know, if you look at the posts below you will see people still think it's some acronym, QT. This reminds me of people who are "Lie-nicks" professionals and think they know what "day-mons" are. And if you do point these out to them, they will acknowledge it, but still call it QT. "What does the QT stand for?" "I dunno."
Well I'm done with ranting. There's just this small thread of ignorance in IT, that will never put forth effort into listening what the creators have to say about pronunciation of their own products.
The least you can do is call it by it's correct name dammit, Qt! not QT!! This isn't some acronym, it's a damn word. It's pronounced 'Cute'. Though I've also heard a few different ways, due to language differences.http://www.qtcentre.org/forum/f-general-discussion-10/t-how-do-you-pronounce-qt-11347-post61535.html Piss off with your horrid promo of Qt. I love Qt4 myself, and unlike you I have used it many times, but you seriously just treated Qt like a husband publicly degrading his wife. Shame on you. VLC wasn't created using "QT" it was created in C++. They took advantage of the "Qt" motherfucker, "Qt" toolkit for its GUI.
That's sorta funny. Honestly, I connect ftp in cmd to releases.mozilla.org and grab what i need there. the last thing i want is some unneeded shit from opening IE for the first time.
Not to bitch at two poor programmers who live off of ramen noodles, as they made a great game - but i guess i am surprised that they didn't cross compile this for ppcs. My first guess is that they didn't even think about it. Which is fine. Also, they probably assume that if you have a system that uses a PPC, you are running OS X, which is what the Mac version is for. That too isn't always true. Anyways, this is to 2dBoy: Cross compile that Linux binary to PPC foos!!!!
Somehow I have a hard time picturing penguins in Cuba.

I guess I find article about this ad on Sunday a day or so old, though I won't blame kdawson for that. I guess maybe I feel he is just always lucky to get his name linked to unneeded topics. who knows.
Personally I am glad that Microsoft (might) get their photo camera integration/editing down for once, as it was always third party apps and utilities given to you, which you would have to punch a screen over. I never had issues with OS X or Linux at all, and I'm speaking about the 2.4 kernel days. gPhoto was what I loved using way more than the shit Olympus or whatever other brand name would give you for software. This was of course serial db9, not today's USB. Oh well, this is my little experience with this type of software, and it's nice hearing Microsoft will take care of things from now on. (I won't lie though, if I am ever in a situation where I need to use Windows AND manage a photo camera, I'll stay with a usb card reader and Google Picasa)
Our beloved christian GOD placed them there, in order to trick the sinful knowledge-seekers into thinking lies. knowledge is bad. That bitch Eve was hungry for knowledge according to Genesis. Thank the heavens women are completely the opposite these days in the christian community. Anyway, nice try scientists!

Why not put yourself out of your misery and upgrade to Mac OS X?
You now can install OS X on non-Apple hardware?
erm. yeah. since 2005. intel and amd systems. google and inform yourself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSx86

Now, for the first time, one of them has survived the ingestation period, living for seven minutes after birth.
So after the birth they gave it to CowboyNeal?? How long do you fuckin expect a newborn to live while bathing in stomach acid??
Geez. Dummies.
