MobilityDriver

Forum thread started by tsuraan on Thu, 2007-05-31 04:34

Does anybody have the old freeware MobilityDriver by bexoft? I was really excited about Haiku, but it doesn't have an installer yet, so I tried installing my old BeOS pro, but now I can't find the driver for my ATI Mobility video. I'm pretty sure that I used to use MobilityDriver, but now bexoft.com is down, tucows is badly broken, and I can't find the driver anywhere else. Many thanks to anybody who can send me a link!

Forums need better cookie checks...

If cookies are disabled, a new user cannot be created. That's fine, but the error message is that you entered the wrong answer for the given math problem. I was beginning to doubt my sanity for a while there...

ftp.haikuhost.com blocked by blocklist.org

Forum thread started by kwurzel on Tue, 2007-05-15 16:17

Hi all,
recently, I wasn't able to load any files from ftp.haikuhost.com, neither with any browser nor with a ftp-client.

Now i figured out that the IP (209.9.235.241) is blocked by PeerGuardian, which uses the blocklists from Phoenix Labs. The entry is in the range of "Beyond The Network America, Inc" (http://test.blocklist.org/labels/12636).

I'm willing to write a comment to the devs if it's neccesarry, but I'm not that good in writing in English (as you may have guessed ;-)).

Or are there any other plans, chances, or possibilties?

Cheers, Julius from Germany

Quiet Board

Forum thread started by errant on Fri, 2007-02-02 03:54

So this board seems like it's pretty quiet, and I'm not really sure where these thoughts/questions should go...

Does anyone know what ever happened to the Whirlpool BeIA fridges?

I know Haiku, and BeOS before it, are/were desktop centered, but I've never really understood if there was any reason (aside from multi-user support) that keeps/kept them out of the server market.

As it's been about 5 years since Be Inc. dissolved, are any of the original developers now out of their NDAs or involved in Haiku in any way shape or form?

I just re-read the 'Quotable JLG'; is there any chance of someone pulling together fun quotes from the mailing lists, newsletters and starting something similar for Haiku?

Wouldn't it be nice to see Haiku on it at some point too? :oops: It's just a shame the development kit would probably cost more than the project's income to date!
