That's not a driver problem. It isn't even a Unix bug. Also, Linux is NOT Unix lol!
What happens is that the sound APIs for linux just suck. They are a confusing framework on which developers have to build their programs and therefore, errors occur. It's not really Ubuntu's or Fedora's fault... It's a problem which must be solved by unifying the damn audio API code.

Right behind you, thread necromancer. As soon as YOU start the unification effort. Go Bismarck!
Actually, I don't know what you're talking about. SDL_mixer + OSS has been working awesome for me for a while.

Wow there. That's highly specific with not enough information. Do you have some sort of driver that lets you access your storage card or are you making your own driver for it?Either way, if you're using embedded c++ (not c?) then you'd want a bool function testing the specified bit on the card. There should be an interrupt which lets you test that.

I was trying to install my pro 100VM drivers in Ubuntu Studio8.04(Hardy heron). I was trying to follow the Readme supplied by intel on how to install but I got stuck where it said I have to compile the "make install" I have attached the read me so thst you can see the instructions and give me a dummies guide to installing this thing. Tell me what you wouldn't tell someone who is computer litterate because I think this readme assumes I have some Linux knowledge.
README_linux_pro100.txt

Pliz help!

run a console program (I think ubuntu has gterm, I don't remember.)
cd over to the directory with the file called make which has your drivers (e.g. cd /directory/which/has/my/files)
type make install.
enjoy.

That being said, this is something which belongs in the operating systems sub-forum.

Ahh, it's been a while. I can't believe how fast these years have went or that forum explosion that came out of the blue. Either way, it's been a good ride so far.Member 2,280 back in '04. Yeah baby. :(Long live trap!

AMD has ALWAYS been better in gaming and stuff

Since intel's processors are more stabilized and are in fact working better then AMD's processors they also have a lot more buffer space and a larger set of instructions which is important today.

Are you both insane?

Back when Intel released MMX for pentium II, it rocked the socks off of everyone's 2d games that used integer calculation. AMD took the show back with 3D Now! and the ability to do floating point operations at a rate faster than a turtle when 3d games were starting to become feasible. When intel released SSE, it outperformed 3D Now! from the sheer advantage of more than double the circuitry. They've both been flying back and forth. Besides, it's the gpu that matters with gaming anyway. Now if you're talking about recent mergers and what not, then yes you're right AMD's always been better after that merger with ATI since anything Intel has made with graphics has been subpar.

Buffer space? What processor has buffer space? You mean L1/L2/L3 cache memory? The recent processor lines are nearly parallel in cache requirements in the L1/L2 spectrum - differences there are just which part of the market they're trying to sell their stuff to. Larger sets of instructions don't mean anything. Future AMD chips are expected to be preferred in many encryption-heavy circles because of supposed acceleration of encryption-related computations. AMD's processors definitely have less instructions than intel's but are still wanted quite heavily. It's not quantity but quality here.

@ivantoar: I'd suggest you get a quad-core (by that I mean don't get the Phenom X3 cause optimizing for three cores isn't fun at all, X4's fine) but unless you can provide more details on the chips, I can't help you more than just by saying go for the one with the lower price.

Ugh.. people, this topic's been rediscussed a thousand times. If you look in the past pages of this subforum, you'll find a million sites suggested.

That being said, http://www.cprogramming.com/ is a very good site.

 

And C++ is NOT better than C. I'd like to see anyone justify that.

so heres my question.. is it really that bad in communist lands? and if it is, why the hell isnt the United states, doing anything? they are getting friggin brainwashed

Would YOU like to pay for a war with China? After that little Tianamen Square incident, I don't think you'd be able to put any sort of reform through that country without a gun for a while. I'm gonna go with China's not communist. Read: I assert that China's not a communist country. It's the biggest capitalist I've ever seen. Production like crazy, mistreatment and low pay for workers, development of high-class services only in certain cities (Shanghai...), and practical dumping on goods combined with other economic maneuvers (e.g. giving a 0% interest loan to South Africa which was bombed by China's growing and cheap-as-dirt textile industry). That doesn't sound like rule by the proletariat to me. This sounds like early 19th century England to me.

 

Yeah, I'm gonna go with capitalist dictatorship. Laissez Faire Dictatorship where the country is the giant cartel of corporations.

@original poster: While I do somewhat question your musical tastes (Rise Against... but that's not the point here) I do generally agree with you. However, I'd like to point out the most of rap heard is what music labels allow to publish. Now, last time I checked, most of those were run by rich, white men. Not the type who listen to rap, but those who want ??? -> profit! from it. What sells? Stereotype. Mind you, a horribly large number of listeners of rap, particularly gangsta rap are white. I'm guessing it's supposed to be a measure of coolitude. Still, it's a business, not some refined musical quality protocol signed in Paris. They will sell what brings money. Why more people don't vehemently reject this type of attitude is to me one of the world's greatest mysteries.

Out of interest, why didn't you try gnome out instead?

Heresy! Trolltech shall rule the world!

 

@seba1killer: I can criticize any piece of software at anytime, thank you, 'tis just a matter if the analysis is final or not.

 

Yeah, 4's not as cool as 3 was. Yet. If the kde devs keep up their reputation that should change soon enough. Haven't had a chance to play with Plasma yet (been too busy going OMG! ssl FIX NOW!) but I think it's alright overall.

 

4.1's not in ubuntu repositories ... still.

@vivek mahajan: Ok, n00b. Listen up. Do me a favor: do NOT resurrect threads that are 3 years old. It's disgusting. God knows if half of what you say is even applicable to the original poster - kid may have found a job outside of programming. If you have to spam, please don't do it in one of the few parts of the forum which have a constant logical consistency.

That's downright hillarious. Also, where's the style? Tennis rackets and shoes? Really?No attempt at dvo'ing a part of the house or intricate and elaborate attempts to open the safe?Robbers nowadays...

Umm... yeah. New. If 2004 software is new. It's a nice idea, but I've yet to see it beat wine or even that old Gentoo kernel mod when it comes to running Windows programs.

Ah, the revolution strengthens. We should take on some reactionaries to show how cool it is.

 

Wait...

I program in PHP, CSS, and HTML. I should probably learn javascript sometime soon.. but meh....

Javascript? javascript? lmao. If you don't need client-side scripting, I'm pretty sure you'll never want to need javascript.

Well, that then raises the question - why on earth are you watching AFL anyway? I agree, AFL is not real football, but mind you, several variations of football have come with the history of the game. NFL's a standard we all know and love because it's a good one. There are others, but ... well, obviously they're not respected. And one thing:

and to get out of the weather where the real men play!

Really? I personally don't see much difference between playing outside and inside. Then again, I don't mind playing in rain or snow. Meh.

Runescape ay? KILL IT WITH FIRE! ... I'm not exactly a fan of it.And nice thread resurrection, whoever did it.

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to name an array '3', though, but I get what you mean.

Hmm. This has always been true.
That being said, I think I've found my favorite line of non-ANSI code ever: 3[3]=3;

Yes. No. Maybe?

 

Ok, from what it looks like, it seems like an interesting game, but I can't understand half of what you're saying.

 

Prime example:

Precise -2A, Add Mind to Com

Beat Opp adds Str to Ref, +1k0 attack dice

Ok, I'm assuming D&D based literature here,

str = strength

ref = reflex

 

what's com, A, and +1k0 mean?

 

Second, what exactly is the story/background behind it? There is no good 'game' unless it is meaningful.

Ooh! Battle! I endore this product and/or service to produce more groups.Actually, I'm curious. What languages does each person in the coding group program in?Moi: C,C++,x86 asm, some perl

People are taking this thread seriously? Huh.

This never holds water. For atheists have been known to do the same thing and to a greater extent than any theist. Perhaps you should stop being an atheist then

Ok, I don't want to make a fallacy of ambiguity here, so I'm going to ask what do you mean by that? Do you mean atheists make atrocities in the name of religion because that's what I'm reading and that doesn't make any sense to me.

As mentioned before, it is unreasonable and biased to pick one definition over the other for the sake of calling something other than what it really is.

This is true. However, at many times it is very pragmatic to do so, even though it'd be biased. Atheism defined as the lack of religion is a definition I'm sure many people would agree with. It is also unfair to ignore an argument that uses one definition because there are multiple definitions.
... and since when is Darwinism an atheist sect instead of a scientific argument? Or are we having another war of multiple meanings again?

I AM THE SPECIFICS.Hi! Which part of Pakistan are you from, - if you care to mention - and why the purely Oriental friend-making?

Yay looking for group avatar!So, I'm down to wine now... great. Time to bust out SDL and cheap 2d sprites. Game making time.

ooh. that's a hard one. it's hard to go back to someone when you're already with someone who treats you well. well, hate to say it, but I think you're going to have to figure out this one for yourself. I mean, people can recommend one thing or another, but you'll be the one who has to make the jump one way or another.all I'd say is to wait it out for a bit. if you don't feel comfortable with the guy you're with after a while, then you know what to do. Anyway, if the guy you were with before is telling the truth, he'll understand how you're feeling and will wait for you.best of luck.

Ok. I've been looking for linux rpg's for a good bit.Here's what I've found:Rogue-likes(Nethack, ADOM, etc.) check.futuristic stuff: check.medieval stuff(kq): kinda check.rogue-likes are fun, but they're all kinda similar. I'm not a big fan of futuristics or of wine-ing.Anyone know of a good medieval rpg besides kq? I have finished it and need another one.I may be required to make one if no one can come up with anything...

A terrorist wouldn't be called a terrorist if no one would be intimidated by him...

I agree with you completely. However, I'd like to point out that the US wouldn't be called a military superpower if no one was intimidated by it. By that definition, would the US be an organizational terrorist?

 

It's fun watching who gets to decide who labels who. The Sons of Liberty? Not terrorists, freedom fighters! Jihadists? Reverse! 300,000+ dead, but it's for their own good! Anyone who says no violently is a terrorist. As opposed to a guerrilla. We've even lost that term in favor of the greater brand. Got to love power defining history.

 

It never ceases to amaze me that 300 million people can be so petrified of a few hundred punks.

A few hundred punks with guns and an opposing way of life. They can resist! That's the real threat. Oh noez! Cultural hegemony threatened! </sarcasm>

Hey! I remember this method! It's pretty ingenious, but rather vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. And packet sniffing will find that plaintext out in a second. I'd rate it pretty good - assuming you have no malignant character with knowledge of network security. What's the chances of tha- oh wait... Php does help, but again, man-in-the-middle attacks. I'm pretty sure trap uses ssl. (you know, the https:// stuff). Which itself uses SHA-1 at least if I remember right. Personally, I'd go with SHA-512 cause a break in 2^39 attempts isn't that fun, but we can't be picky with programs developed for us...(edit: ssl, not ssh. duh...)
