I have a HP deskjet that exhibited the same behavior. Read the Printer-HOWTO
|
||||
and found a filter in the HOWTO that fixed the problem. The HOWTO is sketchy
|
||||
in many places, but one thing that's done well is explaining what the
|
||||
permissions need to be on all files involved with lpd and lpr. Give it a
|
||||
read. One question I do have... The HOWTO mentioned that it is possible to
|
||||
use ghostscript as a filter to print .ps documents but they didn't provide
|
||||
enought of a clue for a low power techie like myself. Anyone have some
|
||||
more specific instructions to accomplish this?

Yes. I've seen it on both the Linux and SGI versions. Anyone know

Use twm while you play doom. The key-bindings don't conflict with the
|
||||
game like fvwm, or you can edit your .fvwmrc file to fix the problem.
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise your alt key will act like a toggle key and the ctrl-arrow
|

will change the virtual screen. Not good...

I really hope that you are kidding. I'd hate to think that our fine
|
||||
educational system is producing people so stupid as to think that reducing the
|
||||
length of cable between an amplifier and the speakers would have an observable
|
||||
effect. Think about it: sound travels through the air about 730 miles per
|
||||
hour at sea-level, electronic signals travel through wire at close to the
|
||||
speed of light (roughly 186,000 miles per _second_). If you were to make
|
||||
_any_ adjustments to the speaker placement, you'd be better off putting on
|
||||
headphones (though the difference would still be virtually unobservable).

The program "/usr/bin/dip -i" is not there.... "/usr/bin/dip" is.

You have to create a script, diplogin, something like:

I hope David Taylor will have a little bit of time to fix the byte

ordering problems in pixel scaling..... :-) I don't know what their
|

deal is with not making money off Linux. I'd never buy a DOS game
|
||||
because I go to DOS so little, but I would be very tempted to buy
|
||||
registered Doom or Doom II for Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
This may be the first public announcement of this, but while I
|
||||
was poking around sunsite tonight I noticed the dates on
|
||||
linxdoom.tgz and linxdoom.lsm were tonight (actually, they looked
|
||||
like they were from the future, time zone differences included).
|
||||
The new linxdoom.lsm (the original of which everyone ought to
|
||||
read; maybe I'll post it) is just a note from ddt saying that the
|
||||
pixel-doubling and -tripling code has been fixed; I snarfed the
|
||||
new linxdoom.tgz and yes, it has been, although the quadruple
|
||||
mode is still a bit off. You'd better have a really good video
|
||||
card if you want to run Doom that way, though; while I get great
|
||||
performance at normal scale, -2 is pretty much unplayable and -3
|
||||
is purely of academic interest (of course, I have an ISA video
|
||||
card so my raw video copy performance is poor).
|
||||
|
||||
Now I'm just hoping ddt will have the time and inclination to
|
||||
make it possible to run sound PWADs with Linux Doom; I found that
|
||||
my favorite sound PWAD (jbrown.wad) works in DOS but not in
|
||||
Linux. Level PWADs seem to work fine.
|
||||
|
||||
When I sent a thank-you note to ddt for Linux Doom, I asked if it
|
||||
would confuse the sales people if I called and asked for a
|
||||
registered copy of Linux Doom. He said yes, it would confuse
|
||||
them and wondered why I'd want to buy a second registered copy.
|
||||
When ddt announced that he was working on a Linux port, I
|
||||
promised myself that I'd buy another copy of Doom if ddt pulled
|
||||
off the Linux port. I used to work for a game software company,
|
||||
and we never would have been allowed to write a game as cool as
|
||||
Doom or port it to Linux. I'll buy another registered copy of
|
||||
Doom just to reward id for letting this happen.

I really hope that you are kidding. I'd hate to think that our
|
||||
fine educational system is producing people so stupid that they can't
|
||||
recognize HUMOR. I thought that the "Get shorter cables" comment was
|
||||
actually amusing.
|
||||
|
||||
In any case, I'd have to check my physics book for exact
|
||||
numbers, but I've got a grasp on the general theory. First, it
|
||||
doesn't really matter how fast the electrons are moving "along the
|
||||
cable." What matters is the speed of the electic field. It does move
|
||||
pretty darn close to C. Second, while the electrons are jittering
|
||||
back and forth and bumping into one another, they do make progress in
|
||||
the direction of the electric field. The rate, electron drift speed?,
|
||||
is much slower than C - in fact muhc slower than .1 C.
|
||||
|
||||
Gee, I hope I'm right.

|

|

I read a statement in a mail-related newsgroup to the effect that it was
|
||||
possible to send a certain signal that would tell me if I was talking to
|
||||
(in some sense) a standard daemon on the other end of my PPP hookup.
|
||||
|
||||
I am not sure the speaker was speaking in general but the example given was
|
||||
|
||||
telnet <domain> 143
|
||||
|
||||
Is some such thing possible?

I went out and bought a Soundblaster 16 and a mini-stereo as

accessories for DOOM for Linux. Yeah, I'd pay for a proper Linux

commercial version of DOOM.
