    We built a COMring cable, which let you run a token-ring like network over a specially constructed serial cable or over a null modem cable (if you only have 2 nodes). Then installed an IPX packet driver in order to run the game. at 57.6k and decent UARTs (16550) it played fine.

    For parallel we ran LapLink cables, a type of parallel cable like you described. And transferred files with LANtastic or Laplink. Eventually a few people got 10Base2 cards and would act as gateways for those of us without network cards.

    Lots of co-op games of Heretic were done our little improvised network.

    Can someone explain how this differs from Erlang? It is briefly mentioned on the Go site:

    "One of the most successful models for providing high-level linguistic support for concurrency comes from Hoare's Communicating Sequential Processes, or CSP. Occam and Erlang are two well known languages that stem from CSP. Go's concurrency primitives derive from a different part of the family tree whose main contribution is the powerful notion of channels as first class objects."

    oops.. left out the links last time. (that preview button is fucking dumb.)

    (this is just adding information to the instructions provided in nt/Install in the source distribution.)

    1. grab the source distribution (mirror).
    2. grab mingw 1.1. (file).
    3. add the mingw bin directory to %PATH%
    4. edit nt/configure.bat. the line 'set COMPILER =' should read 'set COMPILER=gcc'.
    5. make
    6. make install INSTALL_DIR=d:\foobar
    7. you're done.

  49. Re:Synaptic Uses? by Walles · · Score: 2, Informative · on Conectiva Linux 7.0 is Out
    I'm certainly no expert on Connectiva (as I've never used it), and my experience with Debian is limited to using apt-get and dselect a lot, but I think the answers to your questions are as follows:

    is Synaptic generic enough that I could replace Mandrake Update with it?

    In case the Mandrake mirrors provide the correct directory structure for apt-get to work with, yes. Otherwise no. As Mandrake distribute apt-get in contrib (at least that's what I guess the apt RPM contains), I guess the answer is "yes".

    Could I install Connectiva, and then try to get packages from Debian?

    No. Connectiva uses RPMs. Debian uses DEBs. They have different dependency databases, so AFAICT that shouldn't be possible.

  50. Re:The GPL is about as un-American as it gets. by ergo98 · · Score: 1 · on Microsoft and the GPL

    Your comments regarding my caps and swearing proves your sophistication, so you must be right.

    As far as the GPL and the contribution of code, it is the express stated reason for the GPL that the payment for code is code in kind (in other words it's a new economy of code rather than $), and the GPL is the contract enforcing payment, and my point is that the overwhelming majority of GPLd code users never and will never contribute an iota of code. It's the myth of the GPL fantasy versus the reality. Personally I am a huge believer in the *BSD/Apache license (oh but wait: Soon MS is going to release Apache++, Apache#, Apache.Net, etc, or so the author of the pathetic and completely naive article writes) and the license is founded around a give and give freely attitude : There is no expectation of payment (unlike the GPL).

    The GPL isn't revolution at all: It's some very old and unworkable ideas that became a fad but is now a falling star (at a very rapid rate). Read the quote attributed to Mr. Stallman at the bottom of http://gnomewww.sunet.se/news/fullitems/102.shtml to really understand what the GPL is all about.
