I got a message when I signed up yesterday (about 16 hours ago) saying that I would definately get in, just not straight away. Still no sign of a key or ability to download. I'd like to get started soon since I only have 256k ADSL and 2.5 Gig is going to take a while to arrive.
Some distros claim to
have WINE pre-set-up so that running popular Windows apps is almost that easy,
For me, I installed WINE with an apt-get and I get Proxomitron running by copying the directory from a Windows PC and simply running the.exe. It really was that simple. So when I say something like WINE for Linux apps on the PC, at no time should anything have to be compiled.
For instances like this where Linux has a good app, but Windows does not, could a WINE-like product be useful? I have a favourite Windows ad-filtering proxy that I've taken with me on my slow move to Linux. Perhaps a way to run Linux binaries on a Windows PC would be helpful to bridge a gap and even an aid to migration.
I'm running a normally-clocked (Linux) PC 24/5 (doesn't need to be on on the weekends) server with a fanless power supply, a Zalman 6000-series passive CPU heatsink and a pair of passive-only graphics cards. I did install the big fan that came with the Zalman at its slowest setting. (You can't hear it. Pull the plug while the system is live, there's no change in noise.) The only things that make any noise at the two hard drives. I have no exhaust fan and it works fine. Big case though. Haven't used it through a Perth summer yet, might add another silent fan of some sort then.
They're the one's that can get funding and support for you to put one together.
Hahaha!
I proposed a minor change to the products we subscribe to from our ISP that would save money and I'm still fighting to prevent it from going to a committee to decide if we should get quotes from other ISPs.
Yes. SLI allows you to get better performance than is possible with the best single card. If you want the best 3D framerate you can get, the solution is SLI. It doesn't matter that the overhead means you don't double your performance, there's no other way to get performance this good.
Nah, that's not going to work. Pairing any two components that aren't bought at the same time never works well. SLI is about having better performance than you can get from one of the top of the line cards.
Oh, I absolute believe that the company used some sort of reasoned process to come to the conclusion that re-releasing classic Sierra adventure games for the GBA was not worth doing, despite the fact that someone was offering to do most of the work. I just happen to think that they came to the wrong conclusion.
I mean, near nil development costs. No worries that the product might no be delivered on time. What did they have to lose? I'm sure they'd be popular with a huge number of GBA owners and they're a bunch of decent cheap games that open up a whole world of marketing and distribution possibilities. I mean, what GBA-owning, old-school, adventure game-playing, nerd wouldn't lay down a heap of money on a collectors edition box set of Space Quest for the GBA? It's like printing money.
This is the guy who built an intepreter for the earlier Sierra games that would allow the company to release them for the GBA, absolutely no effort and they still said no. I'm surprised he still has the heart to develop anything. He rocks.
I can't believe that someone put a watermark over low-colour images that use tiled graphics and then released them in a lossless file format. Anyone want a clean copy of the screenshots?
I'm pretty sure Kerry will be bad, different bad, and the calculus of badness is pretty hard so I'm not sure I'd be so bold as to say Kerry will be a "marginal improvement", I'd just stick with they are both going to be inevitably bad. What do you expect when you have two spoiled rich kids, Yale grads, Skull and Bonesmen, elite of the elites, never done an honest days work in their lives.
I'm sorry, but this is crap. While Bush was busy running one previously successful company into the ground after another, Kerry; "After graduating from Boston College Law School in 1976, John Kerry went to work as a top prosecutor in Middlesex County, Massachusetts." That's an honest day's work -- much more so than failing to find oil in Texas, or involvement in some fairly suspect deals related to a baseball team.
Your Republican trick of "Bush Bad, Kerry Just As Bad" doesn't work on me any more.
If you believe that Kerry and Bush are roughly equal on all the issues that affect you, you're significantly under-informed. Make sure you're not getting your understanding of Kerry's position from any of the US news stations, pro-Bush right-wing pundits or from Bush and the rest of his top level staff. Kerry's positions on a number of the items you speak of have been repeatedly distorted with little or no effort shown by major "news" organisations to check facts, correct mistakes or do anything other than pass on GOP talking points verbatim.
I was going to post something like this, I was even going to use the word fuck, but I probably would have missed the reference to Bush's ownership of a sports team. Well done.

If the site itself redirects to coral, won't that screw up the copy?
Just got the email saying I'm in. Download looks like it's going to take 24 hours though.

Just keep checking under every rock, eventually you'll find the sort of thing you're after.

So you went as a firewall instead?

That's quite a nuanced position you're interpreting it as there. Are you sure you've got the right candidate?

I setup mediawiki on a server already running mysql and php for phpBB and it took only a few minutes. That's hard to beat.
If I were chosing a US president based on their web pages Bush wouldn't even be on the ballot.
I'm saying that make sure you've read them directly and not relied on someone else's interpretation of them.
"Partly as a result of [Clinton's], but also in part due to the strong economy, welfare use plummeted, work rose dramatically among single parents, and poverty was reduced.". Republicans and Democrats are not equal. Find a new riff.
