Where are you moving to? When will you be back online? Who will manage the Fold? Mommy, I'm scared!

I use Linux-Mandrake, and I hooked up a cheap serial camera using the software that was included. I don't remember if it was unique to Mandrake or part of KDE. I do remember that it was pretty easy -- all graphical setup, just like Windows. It's been a while since I played with flash card readers. I...

Well...Linux appears to support your camera.

If all else fails, at least that's an option.

Does the camera have removable storage, like CompactFlash? If so, that's your best bet. Get a CF reader for your PC, and use the memory card to transfer the files.

Hmmm, interesting question, ANApex. Let me preface this by saying that I'm only the most casual dilettante when it comes to computer-based live action video. But I'll be happy to share what little I know. I do know that the direct rendering infrastructure (DRI for short) plays a big role in the TV v...

Oh, I missed that.

Update: We're now in 30th place, 29th place w/o anonymous. Based on the graphs, TR has clear sailing until it comes time to break into the top 15. Our production history far exceeds every team below #15 right now. At status quo we can knock off Germany and Dutch Power Cows by August, but it'll be a ...

Thanks DiMaestro! I've put a lot of hours into researching UNIX and its progeny. It's a fascinating story that deserves to be told, and told accurately. Isn't it ironic that the most powerful and versatile OS of all time was originally considered to be castrated in comparison to MULTICS?

BigMadDrongo, if one of your computers is freezing, then it isn't stable at all! It looks like your Windows 98 box is having the problem, so the obvious thing to do is to back up your data and do a fresh, clean Windows 98 install on that box. If the problem come back, then you can be sure that it's ...

*yawn* Am I the only one who thinks that obsessing over these long, dry lists of hardware parts is something akin to jerking off to a copy of Gray's Anatomy? It's just not right!

The one that folds the most!

It's one louder.

Just wait until I get all of my ferocious pre-coppermine Pentium II and III CPUs back online. TR will obliterate those Mac weenies!

At this point I think it's best to have a little tutorial on how X works. The X Window System is a client / server framework, like many network applications these days. While it's a common misconception that servers are large computers, the actual server is a software process, not the hardware itsel...

I just picked one up, after finally getting a chance to play with one. The Linux part is an undeniable draw for me, but that comes in second behind the sweet integrated keyboard. I've had employers constantly throwing palm devices at me, and while they're cool in many ways, the interface keeps me fr...

Well, if PCs are good enough for Steve Jobs and his daughter, then they're good enough for me.

Hey, I think they finally made an iMac that I want. What do you guys think? What I think is the topic, according to someone named "resteves2". And now what I think is that resteves2 must be a very unhappy person to always have such a sour and combative disposition. Apple's previous attempts at the ...

I'm not really sure what you're driving at, but I'll venture a guess. Are you wanting to see your Linux desktop remotely, like you can with pcAnywhere for Windows? What you have to realize is that the X Window System is what allows you to have a graphical desktop in Linux, period. If you're using KD...

Linux is not UNIX®. FreeBSD is not UNIX®. OSX is not UNIX®. AIX, HP-UX, IRIX, SCO OpenServer, Solaris and UNIXware are all UNIX® systems. The Open Group owns the UNIX® brand, and has the sole right to say what is UNIX®. POSIX is a set of standards that don't themselves define UNIX®. BSD, the Berkele...

Therein lies the rub -- Windows shops are havens for incompetent admins. Paper MCSEs who live by politics alone are the bane of the profession. That's why I decided to work only in UNIX shops.

LOL, what fantasy world are you living in? In the real USA, there's this thing called "deregulation". When the wolves are in charge of the chicken coop, there aren't any "rights"!

I think that there are more important things to be taught in school than brand indoctrination.

The main difference for me is that with DSL I had to constantly order new service as the next DSL provider dropped dead. With Cable there hasn't been any drama. Technically they both have the same headaches, like unexplained outages and slowdowns. When I got my DSL from Verio, I didn't have this pro...

Good luck! Let me know if you run into any difficulty. I'm always glad to help.

One of the reasons why I like Mandrake is because the whole distribution is optimized for a Pentium system. Since your Overdrive CPU is Pentium on the inside, Mandrake will make the best use of what it has to offer. The key here is to pick and choose to achieve best results. Instead of installing KD...

What kind of firewall? The client has firewall settings.

You mean the movie with Rod Stewart's old girlfriend in it? Yeah, we used to watch it on cable, before real pr0n became available.

It's simple, instead of VAT we have: State, county and municipal sales taxes -- ~10% National and state DOT fuel and road taxes that figure into the price National, state and sometimes local income taxes Property taxes for both business and homeowner (although big businesses ...

If I had to do an install in front of my systems team at work, I would not want to present such a huge variety of options. I'd want to show them a far more slimmed down distro like NetBSD, FreeBSD, Lycoris or Debian. I used to use Caldera for that sort of thing -- a nice, clean setup and interface ...
