I'm a Windows user, and I'm a great deal more liberal than many of the Mac users I know.

When I first saw the title of this article, I thought that it was going to be about someone calculating pi and piping the output to /dev/audio.

Isn't it time for Open Source guys to put aside their pride and just implement the Windows driver model in Linux, so that Windows graphics drivers simply work in Linux as is. The current system is not working and it's high time to accept that.

I absolutely agree with this. If a feature like this were actually implemented, it would sure as hell save me a lot of wasted time and effort on getting Linux graphics drivers to work.

...that the release version of Firefox 4 doesn't have the same shitty interface that the betas did. If it does, I'm going to stick with 3.6.

Now they just need to release one for their earlier GPUs. Not all of us can afford the latest-and-greatest...

I actually thought it sounded pretty cool. Sure, it sounds nothing like actual guitar playing, but it would really well in some sort of a noisy industrial rock act. :)

PS3 Jailbreak Now Legal In Spain 113

Posted by Soulskill on Thursday December 16, 2010 @10:42AM from the setting-a-precedent dept.

deek writes "Spanish gamer site NicaGamerz.com have reported that it's now legal to sell the PS3 Jailbreak modchip in Spain (Google translation of Spanish original). According to the article, one reason for the legal ruling is because Sony removed the ability to run GNU/Linux on the console. One can only wonder if Sony will soon rush out a firmware update that will re-enable the OtherOS feature, and appeal the court decision. Oh the irony of that thought. The legal ruling was made on the 13th December (Google translation). There are only 5 days to appeal, starting from that date."

I would've voted Windows 2000, as it IS my favorite operating system of all time, and it really could use a comeback, but since it wasn't on the list, I voted for DOS (presumably meaning "MS-DOS") instead. Why? Because it's fast, it's efficient, and it has kickass games.

I agree. Linux video drivers are a b**** to work with. If that weren't the case, I'd be using it as my main OS instead of Window$.

I hope that nobody ends up controlling the web, except of course the users. Seriously, wasn't the original point of the web to be like this giant source of information created for the people by the people?
