Yeah, Daikatana sucked. (I hear that it rocked in multiplayer, though...) ION Storm also released two of the best PC games i've ever played, Deus Ex and Anachronox.
And if you want to stick to monopoly, check my sig.:p
Local teachers and other school officials have been asked to *donate* old laptops (NOT thin clients, NOT PDAs, these are old 486-586ish laptops) to this program. There is _NOT_ money in the budget that has been allocated to buy the machines; there is money set aside for training teachers to reinstall windows 98 and the like.
Angus King is an otherwise excellent governor who is trying to end his second and last term as Governor with a whiz-bang techno-thing.
I wish that people would sometimes check into actual facts before writing them up for Wired and then perverting the facts once more for Slashdot.
While the cost/performance boost ratio for watercooling is questionable, I've got a Duron750@1000 running here with a $30 HSF. The processor cost me $50. Voided my warranty, sure, but it's _$50_:D
The main reason behind setting up watercooling systems is for the "cool!" factor; if your nerd friends come over and see the tubes and radiators snaking their way around your machine they'll say "whoa." These are the same kinds of people who spraypaint their cases and run hardware websites obsessing about components that come on blue toned PCB.
It's sort of like how I've got a million gamepads kicking around here, but I just had to solder up a set each of SNESpads, PSX pads, and NES pads.
But in typical Bell Canada fashion, they've blocked all traffic eminating FROM port 25, not traffic with a DESTINATION of port 25. So those of us who run SMTP servers for a useful purpose (receiving mail at erik@ is quite useful) are screwed... and the true spammers will just reconfigure their spambots to send out traffic on port 31337 or something.
If you use Bell Sympatico HSE (I'm in Montreal, but they go over to Toronto, Ottawa, maybe out to BC I don't remember), check out SympaticoUsers. You'll find the messageboards and announcements quite useful. --
Any loyal Brunching fan will realize that the PRS e-mail phenomenon started before this "battlemail" tomfoolery... check out Roshambo Rampage at the Brunching Shuttlecocks.

More commercial software packages for Linux is a Good Thing, but why do these people spend the time/money/etc developing these?
The majority of linux-users at this point refuse to buy commercial software out of ethics, laziness, unwillingness to spend money; until the market opens up to include more of those who would actually purchase commercial software instead of using the excellent free(Free) alternatives available, I don't see this being profitable.
Of course, I wish this new graphics suite luck.:p

It seems to me that ITWorld is a better host for these anyway; they did not provide much in terms of new content but will provide some nice round-out content to ITWorld.
Cut costs, enrich content at the mother site... seems like a win all around. --
- Why XFree86 3.3.x? 4.0 has proven stable and is faster.
- Why on Earth is there no mention of Perl? Perl is the glue that holds many, many useful applications together; not including it in a standard makes no sense.
Is anyone else sick of everyone saying that every little advance in technology/law/society is a "revolution"?
Sometimes, things just evolve. And we can notice that without trying to make some grandiose thing out of it.
People like, for instance, free software, so they use it. It exists because there is a demand. But no amount of patriotism is going to lodge it into the mainstream; the only thing that can do that is an increase in demand - and that comes with evolving software, not The Great Internet Revolution.
Five-dollar words just aren't applicable here.
The viscerally anti-hierarchical Net is a leaderless revolution, without any central ideology, philosophy or set of goals -- a significant difference from past revolutions.
Sometimes we have to step back and realize that it's just software.
You know, the release name probably isn't based off of the alcoholic syrup Midori, rather the meaning of the Japanese word midori, which means 'green'... apart from sounding cool, they're probably trying to point out the low-power-consumption-appliance aim of the distro.
Not just MacPerl, POD is the standard perl doc format, and is very intelligent in the context of perl (embed docs within code!). I believe that one of the camel books were written in pod, actually.
Totoro was the first full-length anime that I saw, my 6th-grade nihongo no sensei showed it to the class, I vowed to watch it again if I ever picked up crack and/or acid...
I think it scarred me for life.
About Mononoke though, great movie, better in japanese than in english, the local artsy theatre showed it in _both_ languages, how leet is that? ^_^
Of course police at a major national political convention are going to be a little overcautious. Protesters have proven that they can get carried away with their thing, and it wouldn't be too difficult for a protester to magically become a terrorist with a little bit of C4 and some balls.
There was no excessive brutality involved, nothing illegal on the parts of the officers.
This is a non-issue. If you don't want to be under suspicion, don't act like a lunatic.
I am already playing with the stress test and WINE. I don't have Windows on the machine, will someone who does use a windows installation test it? The installer works perfectly, but it fails to load up the opening screen of the actual game.
Head on over to OPN (irc.linux.com, irc.debian.org)'s #debian channel, ask apt (the resident blootbot) about kde (/msg apt kde?)./etc/apt/sources.list deb lines will follow.

There should be some kind of published document detailing the statistics of any mention of an IDE degenerating into a pro-emacs-flame thread.

Have you looked into merging Bastille with any distros out-of-the-box? I'm sure that some of the major distros would be interested in this.
Of course police at a major national political convention are going to be a little overcautious. Protesters have proven that they can get carried away with their thing, and it wouldn't be too difficult for a protester to magically become a terrorist with a little bit of C4 and some balls.
