and yes you can get a lot more performance out of your processor by overclocking vs. buying the faster stock-rated chip. FSB is sort of the clock that everything in your system runs off of, so when you take an "old" Conroe chip that ran at 266mhz fsb and raise it up to 400mhz, you not only make that chip run faster, but you pretty much make everything run faster.
yeah i'm not sure why this was moderated funny, because I would really like to see this game as an "internet only" release that "mysteriously" got leaked to torrent sites. They wouldn't have to worry about paying for marketing, packaging, pressing, shipping...it would be perfect.
EDGE is old and 3G is new. all of ATT/Cingular's current phones that are made for streaming video use the 3G network. Maybe it's time to upgrade your phone.
I agree that the page isn't the best that it could be as it makes no sense why the page would list laptops that cannot be bought with the option of RHEL, like the desktops on the same page can.
True, I did not see that. And if you go to the laptop or desktop page, they have that same "Open Source" link on the left side menu. It's good to see they are making it easier to find now.
Operating Systems
Genuine Windows Vista(TM) Ultimate
Genuine Windows Vista(TM) Business
Genuine Windows® XP Professional
Genuine Windows® XP Professional x64 Edition Red Hat® Enterprise Linux WS v.4 (EM64T)
The laptops on that page only list Genuine Windows, so maybe you were only looking at those instead of the desktops.
www.dell.com/linux still works too, and you can see that they have links to "dell and novell, dell and red hat, dell and ubuntu" as well as "Workstations for Office" and "FreeDOS Desktops for Office", among others. So, I understand that the point of the article was "i wanted to support Dell's decision to sell Ubuntu", but if the end goal was simply to have a Dell system that shipped with Linux then the guy simply missed all of the options that are there.
I still don't think there is anyway to find that page without directly going to dell.com/linux, which is sad.
there are 3 ways to install packages in PC-BSD. The "best" way is to use the PBI as that is the main innovation of PC-BSD itself. Other than the PBI, you can use the native FreeBSD packages and ports collection to install programs. Read more here: http://docs.pcbsd.org/guide/chap4.1.html
as for upgrading, it depends on which way you installed. If you stuck with the PBI, which should be your first route to take, I believe you simply remove the old and install the new. I can't remember if it will do that automatically for you or not. FreeBSD packages and ports collection have their own set of commands to upgrade and I think other people already covered those.
In doing so, Ottawa is sending Canadians two messages. The first is what drew the industry standing ovation - unauthorized camcording will not be tolerated in Canada even if it means diverting law enforcement resources from health and safety issues to movie theatres. The second is that private meetings, foreign pressures and lobbyist drafted bills is how law gets made in Canada.
the problem is that they can't even release a properly working closed source driver. And since it is closed source, all that we can do is sit back and hope that in the next release they might address the issues we are having, if we are lucky. If the driver was open source, then anyone would be able to fix the problem, and submit the change so things would get fixed quickly. If the nv driver and the nouveau driver show anything, it is that people are willing to expend their own time to develop a driver that fits their needs, so if the nvidia driver was opened, there would definitely be people willing to help develop it for free.
something tells me that the people at Nvidia could care less about the "linux way", and could really care less about the ethics of choosing a distro to match their driver development.
What I don't understand is why 3d acceleration cannot be added to nv. why is there a completely seperate 3d driver? and what are the reasons that nvidia will help with 2d on nv but will not help with 3d on nouveau? and, what are nvidia's reasons for maintaining a closed source, proprietary driver if they are helping on open source too?
it seems to me that if they waste any effort helping with nv, they might as well throw all of their effort in to it. I'm sure their main reason for maintaining a proprietary driver is to protect "secrets" and the reason they won't help with open source 3d drivers is to protect those same "secrets", but I'd really like them to take the "all or nothing" route, and stop teasing - Either make really spectacular proprietary drivers or help the community create 3d drivers that work.
My parents in Annapolis (writer mentions DC-Baltimore) have a similar occurrence. They also pay for basic cable and are able to plug the line straight in to their tv's digital/hd tuner to grab the digital signal. They also receive channels that I chalked up to being PPV, and some of them show smut too. The odd thing is that sometimes they can watch a movie all the way through, and other times they will loose the signal in the middle, almost as if some one realized they were watching a movie they weren't supposed to get and flipped a switch to turn it off. Sometimes they can change the channel then come back to watch it again, other times they can have the signal then change the channel and come back to find that the program is gone. It's very strange and only happens on one of the two tvs (different brand, model, and year) that they have hooked up this way. I guess this article explains what is really going on.
I double checked, and no, Josh Levin is not a pen-name that my dad uses, so it looks like this is pretty common.
like upgrading from xfce4.2 to 4.4 (i think those are the correct version numbers). every single package I had installed for xfce4 needed to be deinstalled before I could install the new packages. I'm still relatively new to linux and gentoo; i've only had this box running for less than a year and this was the first time i've gone thru such a major upgrade. As kuroo crashes everytime it is opened, I use the cli for all my emerge needs, so the only way I know of to check what packages are installed and what needs modification is to emerge -va. So running that multiple times and then emerge -C in between trying to figure out exactly why you keep removing the package it tells you to but it keeps telling you to remove that same package over and over is not what I call fun. I did however finally complete the upgrade, and I bet that next time it won't be so strenuous, but it was a little tedious this time.
I know that I personally do fast forward thru most ads when wawtching a program on my DVR, but I do often stop and rewind to watch a particular advert. Sometimes its just because something looked funny other times it is genuine interest in the subject. I'd definitely say that it does make my overall experience more pleasurable as I never have to watch one of those "make me want to slit my wrists" Head-On commercials ever again.
I think that Television might be an example of how this should be handled. I believe it is true that if you are caught walking thru a TV shot, the crew needs to have you sign a waver for them to show your face on TV, otherwise it will be blurred out. Other aspects, like your clothing, your cat, your books, do not need to be blurred if they are in plain view.
I think that Police or Private Detective work also serves as a basis. The Police are allowed to walk around your premises and look through your windows. They cannot enter your house unless you allow them or the door is open. They can even use trickery to get you to open the door, like saying "It's Bob" when you ask "who is it".
So, my stance would be that all faces captured by Google should be blurred, but anything else that is in plain sight from the street is fair game. Glass does not provide a reasonable assumption of privacy, but drawn shades and closed doors do.
However, I found that i forgot to put jpg or give and a few other little things in the USE flags that wound up making things just plain retarded. Like opening up a image viewer that didn't understand images
this one reason why people say Gentoo is a learning tool. It forces you to pay attention to what you are installing. I always use the -va (--verbose --ask) flags when I run emerge so I can make sure that my programs are being compiled and installed with the options that I need/want and none of the junk that I don't. Not paying attention is the only way I've run in to problems.
very, very true. In my experience, Gentoo has the best documentation of any Linux project (largely because of the wiki). When I was using Slackware, I found myself using the Gentoo Wiki to walk me through most of my problems. This is one reason that I changed to Gentoo.

Somebody must've told him the files are IN the computer. Maybe it was Hansel, he's so hot right now.
It's funny that you use your Windows PC for fun and your Mac for work, because that is the exact opposite of how the Mac is marketed by Apple.
...not that there's anything wrong with that...
I looked through all of those pictures, and not once did I see the Flying Spaghetti Monster. This place is obviously lying to the public.

use libnjb or some use libmtp. Just stating it for the record. You can then use Gnomad2 or Amarok to manage songs, or use it as a usb drive.
