I already have Win4Lin, so I won't bother:P I'll need Wine or WineX to *play* the game as Win4Lin doesn't support DirectX; however, I've heard reports that the Steam software doesn't work in Wine.. but I didn't even try:)
There are plenty of graphical calculators for Linux.. personally, I use python like the parent or for very simple integer calculations, bc or dc.

Using MovableType?

Movable Type does not scale. 'rebuilding' the site consumes huge resources; luckily, this makes static sites which causes very little load for accessing the site.. but the rebuilding feature does not work too well on 'shared hosting servers'.
It should be fine, however, if you rebuild the site locally and then rsync it to the server.. this would require a bit more effort.
If you're running it on your own co-located or dedicated server then you shouldn't need to worry.
If they thought the Nvidia card rendered nicely, perhaps they should look into getting Quadros.
The nice thing with Quadros and other workstation cards is that they can handle more rendering windows, and they can do 2d clipping. Gaming cards are designed to be 'on top' and don't perform nearly as well when clipped by windows which are overlaying them.
Sounds good in theory, but most SGI machines will not actually run an operating system other than Irix.. sure, maybe an Indy will run NetBSD and Linux; however, try running something other than Irix on an Octane.. and Octanes are already slow old, obsolete, equipment.
PowerPC Linux has great feature for emulating mouse buttons in the kernel. I hit fn-ctrl for middle click and fn-alt for right-click; I actually prefer this to most laptops as I never accidently click the buttons as one will likely do on an intel laptop; accidental clicking of the middle button can be devestating if for instance your buffer contains 'rm -rf/' and you paste that into a root-shell:P
I'm referring to the NT version. I'm saying that perhaps XP has (or can have) a similiar implementation. As stated in the topic, I have not tried VNC with XP.
IIRC, Harddrives are already vacuum sealed.. so it shouldn't matter if the surroundings have gravity or not.
The vibration is more of an issue; however, if the drives are parked.. it shouldn't matter too much.. I mean, they *do* go through UPS and the USPS often enough without too much damage.
Secondly, how dare you post links to Windows games.. you know that most of us are running the One True Platform (TM) and thus disbelieve and reject the existence of That Other OS (TM)
I've found that a lot of users will use email aliases/forwarders to forward all their email to an AOL inbox. They do this for the convience of reading all their email in a single inbox, since AOL wouldn't setup email aliases/forwards (or do they?) they have the email forwarded to AOL.
Since all of their email is forwarded, this includes the SPAM that they receive. These clients then report the spam... but since it was forwarded from your server, guess who AOL blocks?
AOL has a really bad system for spam. You can reprot spam that is of any vintage, months or years ago.. and they will count it against you; blacklists are automatically applied, there is no human intervention.
I've had clients with exploitable formmail scripts installed, upon receipt of a complaint the formmail scripts were immediately removed; however, not before thousands of emails were sent to AOL accounts. It took over a month before reports stopped getting filed and we stopped getting blacklisted; regardless of the complaints being over a month obsolete.
You can buy powerpc motherboards now, but they just aren't economical. They won't directly run MacOS; however, but you can run MOL on them which is good enough.
MacOS will dim the screen to save battery power if the machine is not in use for several minutes. After a litter longer it will completely turn off the display or go to sleep.
Unless you mean that your 4 year old powerbook has a very dark screen.. if that is the case, that would be caused by a fading backlight. One of the very unfortunate side effects of owning an LCD.

FREE HALFLIFE.. of course, you will need a Vmware, Win4Lin, or Windows box to install it.. but sweet :P

Actually, the on in the UK too has 'laser tag' working with it.

Or so I hear.
No, then you have the problem of accidentally hitting the wrong button modifier. I'm not seeing the advantage outside of some serious klunkiness.
It is much less likely for the cat to hit fn-ctrl than it is to press a single mouse button.
I might close those root shells, eh?
As a systems administrator, that would be pretty pointless... how can I work without a root shell (and no, I won't type 'sudo' before every command)

An attempted killing of spree?
Warning, this is the grammer police. Anything you say will be used against you.
Yeah, it is called Unix.. Run it as a non-root user. The worst that happens is that that user's data is stolen or deleted (credit card numbers, etc)

couldn't this be done via a service? In NT you could configure VNC server as a service and you could even login via VNC.
I have some drives without (visible?) airholes, but you are correct that many of them do.
He is talking about the drives themselves. Falling off connectors is a separate issue and can be handled by some glue or tape.

It is a bit annoying, difficult to type with, and slow.. but it is a neat gadget. Handykey.com

TMNT had great Co-op. Some (all?) of the double dragon games were great for Co-op too.
Co-op has died with the side scrolling adventure, I fear. Split screen FPS sucks.
Tonight my wife and I are going to pickup a box of Monopoly from Toys R Us and/or a jigsaw puzzle.

For video games, I think that the Lost Vikings series for the SNES let you play in co-op.. if not, it should've
There is still a drive near Scranton, PA in Dickson City. There used to be one near Philadelphia, but I think they closed it about 6 years ago.
