Handy - can you fix my html goofs above please (I once again clicked submit when I should have clicked preview) PS - I thought there was a post edit function added to the forum, but I can't seem to find it. Am I imagining things?

I wasn't at all impressed with Novell and their deal with MS. I'm still sitting on the fence on that one, but am still leaning towards the negative perspective. I note that Ballmar's quips, within the recent week or so, about "Balance sheet liability" and "Linux users owe us", certainly didn't...

If I follow correctly Mark, your client is using WMP to rip his CDs. Is there not an option in WMP that allows you to turn off the DRM (I'm pretty sure there is).

Ah crap ... forgot to add, the next time you update the kernel, you will have to redo the nvidia driver ... I usually switch xorg.conf back to the nv driver before I restart after a kernel upgrade ... additional monkey steps yes, but not particularly painful.

I'm not certain why i had difficulty with the nvidia install. Its really easy in my opinion, ALBEIT, there are some things that you absolutely most do: get out of X ... i.e. init 3 log in as root remove any currently loaded nvidia module ... rmmod nvidia unistall the previous nvidia driver ...

I should also add that - nvidia release blobs about 4-5 times a year - example: release in May, followed 4-5 weeks later by a bug fix release ... nothing for another 4 months, followed in 4-5 weeks with a bug release ...nothing for another 4 months...... - I'm not certain why i had difficulty...

For ATI: fglrx is the proprietary ATI 3D X driver ... binary blob radeon is the opensource 3D X driver from xorg A good source of user info for both of them is on the Rage3D Linux Driver board I'm not cetain of the dual head status with ATI binary. ATI releases a new blob monthly now I do...

Try the kitty litter :rotfl:

Have seen a number of sources that say Intel approached the board makers in early fall about this. Wikipedia's BTX article entry includes reference and a link to one such "rumour" report ... but if you google, you'll find others too etc etc.

Was it part of their BTX initiative...which has apparently been shelved

Just going through and cleaning up collected bookmarks for the last several weeks and I came across the following article that I meant to post a while back but must have forgot. Anyway, here she be: IBM Researchers Develop NextGeneration ChipCooling Technologies

Clarification: Still in the PC game

Huh? 1600 x 1200 x 24 bits = ~5.5MB Given double buffering, then its ~11MB

Your honour, irregardless of my client's choice of so called bastardized or archaic language, if we were to analyse the cousre of events which transpired, it is evidently clear that our good neighbourly fellow Onomatopoeic, in due course of making his said apprehension, failed to compose an...

This is true....I didn't even give consideration to Semprons...in any regards, it should be quite clear that I was referring to A64s, and I'm pretty darn positive Merc was always too

In general, so far everything I've come across is in agreeance to the notion that hardware solutions currently hold no performance advantages to the software implementations. I look forward to getting the chance to read through it

I've checked from Amd through Xen, I've found nothing to suggest that some models lack it. On the contrary, everything (from articles of AM2's launch on Anandtech to entries in Wikipedia) inidicates that all models have said support. For me, the big deal is the ability to use Xen with...

I believe all AM2 socketed A64s have AMD-V (Pacifica) support, regardless of their position on the totem pole.

Would hardware virtualization ever be of interest/use for your classes? I'm not familiar with VMware's stuff, but with Xen, HVM, means you can use unmodified guests. Both C2D and AM2 would be logical choices here...and there will be a strong Vista-Xen relationship.

A lot of spin and rumours generated by this announcement. Given all the unknowns, its hard to say what's what. However, that said, I'm inclined to think that this is just another stunning example of the poor management at Novell. I think they dreamt that if they shot themselves in the foot...

Which one are you using Gilbo - OpenVZ ?

It is always the diagonal that is taken as the viewing screen size measurement. Don't make me bust out the right angles on you guys too. I don't want to, but I'm warning ya, I do hold a black belt in Pythagorean....and I will use it if necessary! (just ask Buck -- he found out the hard way...

feeling ignored yet dd? :-D

My ISP's DNS has been intermitently fluctuating between normal and crawl mode the last couple of days (started to notice a slow down on Sunday morning). Tonight it just got to the point where it was "Sufferin’ succotash" this is ridiculous ! Switched over to openDNS (4.2.2.2) and all's back...

... for about 5 minutes, despite the fact that it was (while not exactly warm) still very mild out (high was 10C / 50F). So I guess it was pretty chilli up in the clouds yesterday. Anyway, besides being unseasonably cooler for this time of year, the temp also dropped last night down to...

If the site had been OS2news, then I would say there was a good chance it was the ol' felleh ... but alas, it was only OSnews, so I doubt it.

your = you're in one instance above

If your self esteem is so low that you don't think you could already (which isn't true), then build some up ... build yourself up. Join a gym and hit the treadmill & weights. In a couple of weeks you'll notice some change. In six weeks, others will begin to notice a change in you too. In six...

Just Liam and I tonight ...oh, and about 65 slurpy spiders. Grrrrrrrosssssss!

I was just skimming over some user comments, made on OSNews, about the newly released info about future AMD Quadcores, and I saw something that is humoursly related to Tannin's post: One person wrote "99% of the public doesn't need two cores, let alone four. Hell, in 5 years, maybe 64bit...

I use: diff filename filename

I saw your same post on AVS ... I feel your pain in regards to their inability to answer direct and simple questions ... its so sad that these were human responses ... as, its bad enough having to deal with the endless loops in automated response systems, let alone retarded human interaction

Apparently there is a Tabbed interface for OO coming in release 2.1 ... which in itself is a good step in the right direction ... this is of course is akin to the tabbed browser interface. But I haven't found info on the tabbed text document ... akin to the spreadsheet file layout. This post...

I hate scrolling through a gazzilion pages .... why hasn't any of the word processing programs come out with tabbed documents yet? I could organize so many things so much better if I could break files up into tabs, and still preserve the info all in one file (as opposed to several small files)...

A couple for the ATI - Intel relationship: http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/chipsets/display/20060823235224.html http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/video/display/20060907023305.htmlI wouldn't be the least bit surprised that, within a year's time or thereabouts, we see AMD/ATI launch a lawsuit against...

Wonder no more: CSI

Kevin's baseball hat or SR ? ;-)

I had this bookmarked ages ago, but don't know anything about it.

With 3 articles appearing online this past week, one might consider that this unprecedented amount of publicity was the result of a "week of the Konqueror" campaign or something --- I have no clue, but regardless, I found some interesting bits in them. For file management, I absolutely love the...

How about this

You know - that ancient Greek martial art where you try to implae your opponent with a right angle triangle

They are all measured via the diagonal The W does NOT indicate a 20 inch width. It indicates a Widescreen aspect ratio. As mentioned above, all monitors sizes are given by the diagonal measurement, and the 2007WFP is indeed a 20 inch diagonal (20.1 IIRC). Don't make me get all Pythagorean on...

No. Unlike Firefox, thunderbird doesn't get placed in ~/.mozilla Instead, you will find it in: /home/username/.thunderbird/Profiles/some_eight_character_alphanumeric.default/Mail A user's home directory (i.e. the /home/username portion) is often expressed simply by the tilde (~) ... for...

Shouldn't that "article" have included a "brought to you from Intel" somewhere at the beginning or end? .... shhheshhh. I'm getting tired of Intel's marketing campaign.

However, Intel May Offer Single-Threading Optimizations.

Yes, of course, I mentioned this above. But for those who are interested in stories: (It is my understanding that) apt barely made it into 10.1. In fact, the initial push appeared to be geared towards adopting smart. It was only after a number of complaints about its pending removal that...
