You don't think there's a way to somehow get my modem working by using the old SuSE 9.1 install disc do you (besides reverting the whole system back to 9.1)? With the old SuSE installed you could have a look to your kernel config, loaded modules,... but you'd need to install it. Perhaps there's a S...

VMUs for 1,49$? :O

3 PAL DCs here, 1 broken. The funny thing is that I own a PS2 for a while and I only have 3 games. I have had also an xbox and I sold it. You are not the only one who is crazy :P

yep, I agree . I just wanted to see something good in Solaris :P .
I was under the impression that it had been a quite used system but I uderstand that usually things change after some years.
And being a free software user/lover for some years, I shoudln't have said such a thing :x

In my opinion Solaris is intended for big systems. You can use it on your desktop computer (if this is what you are doing) but is intended for other main uses One of the best features is a very advanced hottpluging system, letting you change proccessors and harddrives on the fly (without switching t...

I might be wrong but in theory you could probably recover the most important files. I don't know how-to though. There was a way for ext2 filesystems (debugfs, lsdel...?) to recover your data after formatting There're also some comercial programs for data recovery like Stellar Phoenix http://www.stel...

Just one hint. Remove the email address from your website and put them in a look like something metafox [no spam] AT name DOT abc. Just to prevent all the spiders that catch emails from websites to send spam to them ;)

After searching the package in portage, I thought the 'free' meant that it was open source (english is sometimes confusing with this word for me :P ) so I went to emerge it on my x86_64 machine. It tries to emerge the emul-linux-x86-qtlibs-2.1.1 first (so the package in portage is x86 32bit binary a...

bender - I think you probably have the wrong idea here. GCJ is not a Java runtime. It's a compiler (like Sun's javac, or IBM's Jikes, or whatever). It can generate Java bytecode, but it can also generate native machine code. That means you can take a Java program, and compile it to a native executa...

Wouldn't building a java app for another platform be just like recompiling GCC for the SH4? The bytecode you usually have is made with Sun's jdk and you will have problems trying to interpret it with different interpreters than Sun's. Believe me, I have had problems even with the source code (not b...

The binaries would be slow as hell. I'm not very sure if gcj is able to produce bytecode/binaries intended for Sun's jdk. I tried backdown's jdk a while ago and I had many problems while trying to compile the sources. There's no worth for this unless we had an open source Sun jdk (java is just too s...

Metafox has the point ;-) Every open source code is just cool. Just think that this scene exists thanks to all people sharing their code, from the begining till now. Scherzo's port is far better to dsnes just for this point. No matter if is a bit slower or not, everybody has access to use it and to ...

The fact Linux is only a kernel and the BSDs are complete operating systems I prefer BSD. Linux has no standard. You got 234324234 distros.
