Dunno if the Arctic Silver thing would work. I'm pretty sure that one of their big selling points is a lack of conductance, at least that's what http://www.arcticsilver.com/as5.htm says. Sweet idea though.
This is what scares me about WINE. Yes, technically it is native, but of course has a much larger memory footprint. Linux may suffer from many buggy, unstable "ported" applications, giving the OS a bad name. If Linux can run both Windows and Linux applications, why write real, better Linux ports? This is what happened to OS/2.
Then you suffer from the same old Catch-22: Linux has few necessary apps. Therefore, few people run it. Few people run Linux, Therefore, why write apps for an OS few people use?
I'm personally looking forward to wine a lot, because it'll (eventually) let me run all my games that are too old for dev support for Linux native binaries, but without a source release to make binaries yourself, plus run new games that the developers shunned Linux with.
The term "runs using Wine" seems to be a misnomer.
Picasa was linked against winelib to allow it to compile and run natively on linux. The reason it would take so long is that, like wine, winelib is not 100% perfect with regards to the windows api (wine is a native implementation of the windows api, by the way, not an emulator) and they had to rewrite some stuff to make it use winelib without going explody.
From what other people who've actually used the software seem to be saying, it runs pretty well. I have no idea as I have no use for the damned thing.
I'd find it very hard to imagine a company that has done nothing but destroy every piece of intelectual property it aquires and continues to make money. Unfortunately I've seen it...
I just heard that you re-rated The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion based on a third-party content patch that unlocks the base skin used under the clothing models.
This is absurd.
I can make a third party patch for anything that will turn any 3D model into a naked chick in The Sims 2, Barbie Horse Adventures, etc. What I or anyone else does to a game that we have purchased should not affect the rating of the unmodified game sold in stores. This is just a cheap ploy to get attention.
The problem with peltier coolers, as far as I know, is that any one with a decent wattage rating will require its own power supply because of the power that it alone draws; you can't just plug it into a spare molex. It consumes more power than it moves.
Wait a second... G4 was about technology? Dude, I had no idea!

Because creative people get to write legislation.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhaha...*snort* HAHAHHAHAHAHA!
Dude, that was a bad slip. I mean, creative people? That's like the worst misspelling of "rich executives that like to screw the little guy" that I've ever seen.
The people that do write the legislation are heavily influenced by the money coming into their pockets by entertainment industry lobbyists. The laws serve the RIAA/CRIA people, not the artists.
I can't remember now, it's been so long since I've heard, but isn't it something like only 5-10% of an album actually goes to the artist? The whole thing is set up to support the executives while screwing the artists with shitty contracts and crappy record deals.
I could be a prick and make a huge deal about what you posted.
Or I could remember that this is Slashdot and every kind of moron reads these pages. And new bullshit is coming in all the time, so this'll be buried in the archives soon enough.
I don't care if you think I'm a coward. I don't care that you think that getting picked on as a kid was my fault, after the first time, that is. It probably was. But, it's in the past. Nothing can be done about it now but learn from it and go on. To make a big deal about it because some random fucktard on Slashdot thinks I'm a coward would be fucking stupid.
The guys who stole (er, "misappropriated" this video...
Nobody stole it. He left it where he filmed it. As far as I can tell, he was taping himself for kicks - everyone likes to play with video cameras - at his local school and the kids that posted it found the recording on the tape later.
I feel bad for the kid. I was picked on from the day I entered school in kindergarten until the very day that I left that hellhole system in 12th grade, and if someone did this to me I would probably show up at their door with a 2x4 and a bad attitude.
On the other hand, I don't know if I would have filed a $300,000 dollar lawsuit. It took me forever to realize it, but the kids that picked on me in school - the "cool kids" - really will get their own whenever the real world comes knocking. My parents told me that for years, and I never really realized it until I had graduated and all the "cool kids" were either running from the law, already in jail, or pregnant. Karma rocks. (the real kind, not the Slashdot kind)
I do sympathise for the kid, but it kinda makes the whole situation look bad when you get into the whole "my parents are gonna sue your parents" dealie. It degenerates into a big legal clusterfuck, and I for one have never had much faith in welcoming our legal overlords.
Not really. I drive a 1996 Jeep Cherokee that was purchased before the current energy crisis and before new evidence was given that the global warming situation is accelerating more than we expected. I would love to be able to have a more fuel-efficient vehicle, if only for my wallet's sake.
However, I can't afford to just go out and buy a hybrid car that costs more than my family's home. Even used cars that get decent gas mileage are way out of my price range, because people are paying more for better gas mileage.
Someday I hope I'll be able to be one of the "rich people" and actually do something about it by getting a nice hybrid or investing in alternative fuels, or something. But I'm doing good to stay in college right now.
Until fuel-efficiency is not an extra $10,000 option, there's nothing a lot of us can do about it.

It'd be a shame if something... happened to it, now, wouldn't it?
Defeat conceded :)
However, it is staggering to wonder why they didn't just link the damned thing with winelib after all...

BTW, apparently I was wrong: Linux Picasa is just an EXE with some text resource changes. See http://www.winehq.com/pipermail/wine-devel/2006-Ma y/047806.html.
it IS a native port. It just links to winelib to provide an implementation of the Windows API.
The binary is native.
They aren't using wine.
They linked the program against winelib. Unlike using "wine picasa.exe", this provides a native Linux binary.
I guess you could say that means it's not a "true" Linux binary, but if that's the case, neither is any other binary linking to a separate library.
Plus, all their work with wine has made for a lot of patches and fixes.

So have many other people.
But I bet all the channels come in the same quality, and PBS isn't snowed out because they didn't pay Comcast their monthly "carrier fee" or whatever.
Maybe, if the trade secrets had been released in your local WalMart on DVD for 20 bucks.
But as far as I know, people who torrent movies don't attack the RIAA website to get said movie.
The issue wasn't "stealing", it was unauthorized access of a computer system. Or at least that's what it sounds like to me.
According to the chart at http://www.planetx64.com/index.php?option=com_cont ent&task=view&id=215&Itemid=14&limit=1&limitstart= 1, yes, these processors have virtualization.

I was under the impression that the interest of "the people" was the special interest that was most important.
This seems to cater to the special interest of "the corporation".
The problem with peltier coolers, as far as I know, is that any one with a decent wattage rating will require its own power supply because of the power that it alone draws; you can't just plug it into a spare molex. It consumes more power than it moves.
