    You can find the build applications and such with google already. The basic kernel is here (bittorrent)

    I'm truly sorry for the off-topic post:

    The next great MMORPG [darkfallonline.com].

    sperling, a couple questions I didn't catch answers for on your website (I'm assuming you're related to the project):

    1) When's the projected beta start date? Up until December I earned a living debugging software and would enjoy participating.

    2) Linux support? :)

    My obscured email is in my profile if you would rather not reply here.

    Cheers

  7. Ballmer denies leak by ironfrost · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    According to a report on ITVibe, Steve Ballmer, Chief Executive and President of Microsoft has said in a statement:

    "I can assure you that we know there has been no compromise of the integrity of the source code; that it has not been modified or tampered with in any way."

    Am I the only one that thinks this is a STRANGE coincidence, considering that we're only a few months from electing the MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE WORLD using UNAUDITABLE-US-GOVERNMENT-APPROVED, WINDOWS 2K and NT VOTING MACHINES?

    For the sake of FAIRNESS, incormation about Microsoft Government Lobbying can be researched here
    [28,000+ results].

    Look at how far we[the US]'ve come in the past 4 years:
    DMCA
    CAPPS
    UCITA
    etc...

    Just think of what another 4 US Republican years can offer!

    During the last Democracy "the Clinton era" all we had to worry about were sex and drugs; and the proliferation of the internet, and technology, etc - but I digress...

    To Bush's credit - he does have a few accomplishments under his belt: As "Commander-in-Chief" (did he serve in the military?), we did observe the most destructive attack EVER in in US history.

    He made up for it, however, by sending several hundreds of Americans to their DEATHs (as of Feb. 2004) (about 25% of those that died on Sept. 11th), to protect us from [as of now] UNDISCOVERED Weapons of Mass Distruction.

    I feel much safer now.

    Be very afraid people... November is going to bring about some SERIOUS fireworks in the US. If you're not a US citizen, don't fret; because your country will surely be next.

    Microsoft's source code "leak" is only the beginning.

  10. Hi mom! by DrunkenTerror · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Just wanted to get in a post for posterity. As I write this, the story needs about 300 more comments to make it into the hall of fame, and about 2500 more to get the top. I'm not forseeing a total victory from this story, but I definately wanted to get my uid in here, so I'll have something to show the grandkids.
