I have a supercard Lite, and it fits nice and snugly into the GBA slot, and homebrew runs perfectly fine.
cost a bit of money, but it's worth the extra to not have it sticking out of the bottom of the ds lite. It also features SD micro slot (those things are damn tiny, don't sneeze while you're holding one), and extra memory which some homebrew apps (DSLinux does it I think) can use.

what do you want, clippy popping up and asking "it looks like you're browsing for porn, would you like to show hidden files?"
NetworkManager connects you to WPA with no hassle. Anyone who is saying linux doesn't have decent WPA support probably hasn't tried using NetworkManager (It was very poor before that)
overall wireless performance is pretty poor still, however. Drivers are always a hassle, unfortunately
I cannot simply paste a URL and have the program open the referenced document.
everyone keeps saying "Ctrl-L" here. This is not an immediately obvious solution. However, gnome does have an immediately obvious solution to this problem, and one which I always do first thing after I install it.
in the file manager, open up the preferences, select the "behaviour" tab and select "always use text-entry location bar"
simple! contrary to popular belief, gnome actually does have preferences that are editable. The location bar as default is annoying but it's not too difficult to change.
The problem with this attitude at the moment is that the linux user base has no force behind it. If we say "give us open source drivers/codecs or we won't buy your products" then vendors can simply go "Linux is only used on 2% of desktops, we can afford to lose that group"
If, however, Linux has 20% of the market, suddenly if a vendor ignores Linux they could lose a rather larger section of their user base and will be more likely to acceed to the demands of the OSI/FSF/etc.
I think this is the idea that ESR and others in the OSI are trying to push
I don't agree or disagree with your stance, but linking to an article on Greenpeace denouncing Genitically Modified foods is not exactly going to sway many hearts. Of course they will say that!
of course in WW it doesn't matter if you do a jab, overhead slash, sideways slash, whatever. And all that ends up heppening is you just mash b until the enemy is dead.
Nice avoidance of the/. filters to make that stick figure though.
it was easy... all they had to do was copy/paste it from one of the many other identical stick figure "joke going over your head" stick figures that have been posted by many people on slashdot so far.
in fact the filter probably has the stick figure hard coded into it to make it easier to post. It's only a matter of time until we only have to type <jokeoverhead> and it will do it automatically
xorg config is nothing near the ease of use of YaST.
I don't like the idea of not having a config file. What if you want to change something? What if the auto-detection doesn't work? Obviously this is simply done with an automatic detection as well as some sort of xorg.conf-custom file.
Unfortunately, getting anything to change in the UNIX world requires a lot of impetus...
Actually the word "Planet" comes from the (greek?) word for "Wanderer", which were named so because they moved around the sky. The nine planets were defined as: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. If you want to come up with a new word for how "interesting" your space objects are that's fine. Remember that there is a word for an animal that eats plants, a herbivore. In this regard the ant and the elephant are seperated from the lion, whereas in others they are not. There is no need to change the definition of a planet just as you wouldn't change the definition of herbivore. Just add another classification.
I don't like the idea of there suddenly being 152 planets or whatever crazy system they're coming up with, but no matter what happens there will probably be some changes as to what are planets and what are not. Although of course there will be people sticking to the nine planets we have now like those who refuse to accept the metric system. People will also not like to change their mnemonics (although if we kick out Pluto and rename the new planet to Persephone then it won't be a problem)
But there's no need to dramatically change what the word Planet means. Come up with a new term for a rock with atmosphere if it's that important to you.
Talking about what the system should be rightly called seems a pointless waste. In reality, the system is named what people call it. If everyone calls it "Linux" then the system is called Linux. It's not about who is right or wrong and of course Stallman can call it GNU/Linux if he so wishes, and all the best to him. But the correct name is Linux by the simple fact that most people call it Linux. And I will continue to call it Linux not because I disagree with what Stallman is saying (I don't) but because a) it's the common name and b) GNU/Linux is too cumbersome to say.
People don't get words from dictionaries, it goes the other way round.
I always wondered why there wasn't a decent configurator for xorg. SUSE's YaSt is pretty decent (although dreadfully slow) and SUSE Enterprise Desktop was the only one that I never needed to drop to the console for (even installed XGL without editing any text files) it seems that it's impossible to modify x settings without a decent knowledge of the xorg.conf file.
That's the way it's done in GNOME (if you follow the HIG properly). I imagine this is because Firefox on linux was more aimed at GNOME users, rather than KDE. So this is in fact acting consistantly, if you happen to be using GNOME
as in if someone else uses my TorrentFlux server to download something they can see what I have downloaded. (it's a php based client that you can have multiple people using with different logins)
I just spent about 10 minutes with a fly swat trying to kill **one** fucking fly that is buzzing around indoors. Does that make the fly smarter than me?
I think the fact that the fly was still around 10 minutes later effectively answers this question
actually what you'll find is that if you sell a TV more expensively with replacable backlights, you will in the short run make more money (as intelligent consumers will buy this more expensive TV in order to save money in the long run) but in the long run you will lose money (as consumers will not need to replace their TV so often).
One of my old teachers used to always tell this story of a fridge he bought many years ago. The thing kept running for years and years (and is still running today probably) whereas most fridges now tend to die in a quarter of the time. However the company who made these fridges went out of business because people didn't need to replace the things when they get faulty. Appliance manufacturers have all discovered that they make a lot more money in the long run by selling something for half the price that will last a quarter of the time, and consumers are all too happy to pay less for their products not knowing that in the long run it costs them much more...

starcraft should work fine under wine, not sure about civ though.
maybe you don't need that windows me disc after all
I very much doubt sony were supplying blue LEDs to the HD-DVD manufacturers...
I don't recall the part of the plan where they send these laptops to college students in USA...
I believe MS is working with the OLPC group to create a version with Windows on it
