Re:Offtopic: Gaming Question & gmail :)
You could always try this, although it is stated to work with nVidia cards. A better bet would probably be this thread. I'd recommend downloading a test application to find out wether the card is 100% OpenGL-compatible (though it should be). If else, try the generic drivers.
Cheers! -
Re:standard Japanese strategy
Actually, the AP is correct. From this Go glossary:
gote To play last in a local encounter ; the opposite of sente. Gote loses the initiative. sente To have the tempo to choose where to play next ; to have the initiative. The opposite of gote. -
Re:The survey says...
Again, if you'd look at Christian teaching it would tell you that war is only justified when it is absolutely necessary for defending oneself from an imminent threat.
Yeah, sure.
Deut 13:6 states "if your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, daughter, the wife of your bosom or the friend of your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, "let us go and serve other gods" which neither you nor your fathers have known, some of the gods of the people that are around you whether near or far, from one end of the earth to the other, you shall not yield to him or listen to him, nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him, nor shall you conceal him, but you shall kill him. Your hand shall be the first against him to kill him and after that the others can strike him"
Check out this page here for some more interesting tidbits, especially the "Attitude to War" section.
I'm not trying to rail on Christians, one of my best friends is a Catholic and we've been friends since the days I hated Christians. I've been past that for a few years now and in fact have gone to church events w/friends. However, I take offense to you acting like the Bible's not full of contradiction after contradiction. It's bull, you simply cannot act like the Bible doesn't have it's fair share of warmongering, hatred of people, religions, and ideas.
"When I sharpen my flashing sword and my hand grasps it in judgment, I will take vengeance on my adversaries and repay those who hate me. I will make my arrows drunk with blood while my sword devours flesh: the blood of the slain and the captives, the heads of the enemy leaders" Deut 32:41-42 -- Damn that sounds like fun. Also a really good passage to cite in support of war.

Re:Eye candy, but's what new?
Wolf3d created/popularized a genre, just as the Beatles did with rock'n'roll, and Run DMC did with rap, and Marilyn Manson did w/ shock-rock.
Marilyn Manson created/popularized shock-rock? What are you, fifteen years old? Marilyn Manson is a cheap plastic imitation of the original. The sad part is that he doesn't even get the joke. -
Re:Tailored installation, user/system separation
Is this site connected to the net? If so, I strongly suggest using an RFC1918 address range and use NAT or PAT to keep things happy. IPChains or TCP Wrappers would be nice. A good generic
/etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow file would be:
-------------- /etc/hosts.deny -----------------
ALL: ALL : spawn (echo "%d from %a (%n) on `/bin/date` - output from \
reverse finger is `/usr/sbin/safe_finger -l @%h`." | /bin/mail -s \
"Security Alert - `uname -n`/%d" USER@domain,USERID@another.domain ) &
------------------------------------------------
------------ /etc/hosts.allow ------------------
ALL : ( your_ip_address_range .domain.blah x.y.z.q )
------------------------------------------------
Change "USERID@domain, USERID@another.domain" to addresses of your security/admin people
Solaris users can use the same by removing the word "spawn".
