  2. I think they have to have the same GPU chip, nut not necessarily the same manufacturer. But I agree, for compatibility's sake, make sure they are the same...
  3. Did you try OpenSuse11.0? It has a modified interface that is pretty good, and is very user friendly. To me, it's the best of the "desktop user" linux builds. www.opensuse.org
  4. I'm not fond of Sudo, so I tend to stray from Ubuntu builds. I stick with CentOS, but I do like SUSE. Now, if someone will step up and make a decent build for PS3, they'd have my attention. Though that would require support from Sony to get the graphics card unlocked. Otherwise it's just a waste. I tried YDL, which I liked, but is still just painfully slow on PS3.
  5. Definately the best server OS. Especially CENTOS.
  6. I have been seeing this talk of how great Linux is for years, and have yet to see anyone make a version that is easier to use for non technical folks than OSX or XP. It is much harder for average Joe to find and install software to use for Linux, even though there is so much out there. Until there is a unified consortium of Linux, I doubt it's market share will grow all that much.
  7. Vista does NOT equal windows 2000. If anything, XP = 2000, Vista = ME, and hopefully 7 = XP.
  8. 40 million can't be right. (assuming VA means virginia) Are there 40 million people in VA?
  9. Ok so bad attitudes and high taxes are to blame for the bad economy? Good luck. A lot of programs are state funded. I started looking it up earlier... Just think about it though, if there are more people on welfare than not, our goverment would be immediately in deficit, and in a lot more trouble than now. How is a service economy supposed to survive when we outsource services?
  10. You have got to be shitting me. You are saying our economy is bad because people are taxed to much? I highly doubt there are more people on welfare ANYWHERE in the US than not.
  11. He's right. The "fundamentals" of our economy are not "sound", as some will have you believe. We need a spark. We need something to produce. The technology and .com evolution gave us a strong economy in the 90s. The next decade will need something like that to get us back on track. I hear these alternative energy things might be worth giving a shot....
  12. They were regulated before the Bush Administration got a hold of it. (at least in the case of mortgage financing). People, in general, are pretty damn stupid, at least in this country. But the dumbass companies who gave loans to these people, are just as guilty, as he people who took out mortgages they couldn't afford.
  13. Some videos block embeding, by making them appear "no longer available". I put it in brackets so it wouldn't embed.
  14. We've bought a lot of 2208WFP models, but I don't think they're ultrasharp. They have a strange color palette, red are too pink, blues are too light. Lots of controls though, so you might be able to calibrate them. The 20" model has excellent color though.
  15. If he hadn't drowned, and even since he did, we cannot leave Jeff Buckley's 4 octave range voice off of ANY greatest singer/songwriter list... Grace [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siNsgbIWhAQ"] Hallelujah [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AratTMGrHaQ&feature=related] So Real [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WolmjxD4hn4&feature=related] Forget Her [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noQH6lyu0sA&feature=related] For my money, the greatest voice ever, and proof to me there can't be a benevolent god for taking him away... EDIT: Nevermind, embed is disabled on these links, just copy and paste it..
  16. http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=QCoLTbbEmRU I think this is a more accurate song of our lives....at least in modern times...
  17. Hey now, just because I don't drink RNC koolaid doesn't mean I can't be neutral. But i can type in small font...
  18. My point was that if, according to the Matt Damon thread, the opinions of Hollywood don't matter, because they come from Hollywood (aka fantasy land), then Jerry Molen's opinion is also invalid, because he comes from Hollywood (aka fantasy land). Just trying to balance the equation....
  19. I have to say though, other than "Smart-Bro" (aka the new Direcway/Hughesnet of testmy) there are probably more non-geek active topics at the top of the list right now.
  20. Since politics seem to be a hot topic on this site, who else thinks a Politics section would be a nice addition? Maybe as a sub-board of Off Topic? But then again, off topic threads don't appear in the new post rotation on the home page do they? I volunteer to moderate.....
