On Ubuntu, wine works just fine. Flash sort of works with nspluginwrapper, which Ubuntu automatically installs and configures when you install the flash plugin.
Hmm... the 2nd, 3rd, 4rd and 5th places (out of the first 5) are occupied by the iPod.
So, in order to be able to say whether the Zune is selling better or not, you need the
actual numbers (which don't seem to be published).
Oh, really?!
I compiled yesterday's *TRUNK* of Firefox 3 and it works just fine.
Safari crashes every 2-3 min. Customizing the toolbar crashes it
*every* time. And so on...
I just downloaded the program (glAArg) and compiled it
on GNU/Linux (amd64, GeForce 6600GT, driver's version 9746) - it looks fine to me. TextureAA HWAA(Nicest)
My thoughts:
Most of the issues (if not all) seem to be in the drivers.
The hardware/software tested is several years old.
AFAIK, Apple provides its own driver (which is a modified version of the NVIDIA/ATI driver).
Hubert also provides his opinions on the Novell-Microsoft Agreement, which he characterizes as 'a good thing.'" What's wrong with these people?! This guy is supposed to know that nothing good will ever come out of this "deal"
You need to download the latest version of the Flash Player from Adobe. Go here. Adobe should produce an amd64 version first! "Here" there's no such thing!
Thanks anyway!
You didn't read TFA, did you? The problems exist in Vista Final.
From TFA:
Throughout the beta, Deep Sleep in Windows Vista went great. It's the default option (so long as it's configured in the BIOS) when you click the shutdown button.2 It would put your computer in a low-power mode that recovered in a matter of 2 or 3 seconds, and didn't crash! But in the final version of Windows Vista, something is very, very majorly wrong.
If new versions of GCC, libc, etc. get licensed under the GPLv3, that means that Novell will be allowed
to use the old versions, which means no updates whatsoever. I doubt that Novell will hire programmers
updating their own forks of the some of the most essential parts of GNU/Linux.
So GPLv3 is a solution to the problem.
I was wondering - will these fancy features (esp. the geometry shaders) work with OpenGL, if the necessary extensions are exposed and used?
Since the hardware is there, I guess it won't be a problem?

So you are suggesting we use a Windows-only application? Thanks, but no thanks!
I took a look into the code - AFAICT, it only contains stubs and no graphics code.
So, it's FAR FAR away from a (partially) working implementation.
Damn, I meant 4th!

ROFLMAO :)
Thank you!
How nice of them, an exe file.

lol, this made my day :)

My thoughts:
Really? Is this an ATI card?
WMV3 works perfectly with ffmpeg (AMD64 here). I don't really think it's "alpha"

This is definitely good for Vista sales in the long term because of the new Vista EULA terms regarding running Vista in a virtual machine.

oh man, ROFLMAO !
I have already done that - since 10.0 came out :)

Xenix too :)
And when was the Flash player 8 for Linux released?!
