I think you should cancel and reorder. I ordered three Linux games directly from Loki/Digital River, and got all three a week later - and I live in Japan!
I think so too, but you may actually be less likely to get into an accident if you drive stoned as compared to sober, because you tend to drive more slowly and cautiously
That doesn't hold water. I might try to drive more slowly and cautiously when I'm drunk, but the inarguable fact is that my reactions are impaired (just as they would be if I were smoking pot), leading to a situation where I am not as in control of the vehicle as I would be if I were sober. I'm sorry, but "I drive better when I'm fucked up" is not an acceptable excuse.
The answer: Preferences/Advanced/Enable Java OFF.
I mean, what do you people use Netscape's Java for anyway? Maybe you have a thing for punching monkeys, but I for one can do without Java in a browser.
Oops. Excuse me while I insert my foot in my mouth. You were obviously speaking about whether it would be likely for the internal bus to have lower bandwidth than the network. Sorry, my bad.
What you're talking about is internal bus bandwidth (actually, a crossbar rather than a normal bus). What the poster above is talking about is network bandwidth; if you can show me anything with better bandwidth over a network than the HIPPI stuff he mentioned, I'd sure like to know about it.
Both MkLinux and LinuxPPC support multiple CPUs (at least according to the mklinux.org site). However, if you want to try MkLinux (I wouldn't bother, though - just go with LinuxPPC), you'll need to rebuild Mach to handle it.
Great - a Slashback that's gonna need another Slashback to correct the mistakes...
MkLinux has run on the first-generation Power Macs (6100, 7100, 8100) from Day 1. NetBSD, on the other hand, has never run on these; indeed, a quick check of the NetBSD site will show you that they are looking for someone to do the port.
On top of that, the MkLinux announcement was about the Performa series (6200, 6300, etc.), which came out well after the first generation. What were you guys smoking?!?
And this bit of their terms of sale is such bullshit...

Unfortunately, a 66MHz 486-equivalent won't play back MP3s without skipping something awful, unless you knock the bitrate way down and use only mono. (Believe me, I've tried it.):(
It's not an Intel 486 - they seem to be using the AMD Elan, a very neat piece of hardware that integrates just about everything onto the CPU. (I believe it's also used on the Morphy One.
Well, that file doesn't seem to exist, so I'm not sure how you came up with that address, but you can get it from Apple's site here. Be warned, it's 13MB of QuickTime...
It's the "Big Brother" commerical. I think you should be able to find a copy of it somewhere on Apple's site (if not there, some of the better fan sites should have it).
RMS is opposed to "privacy for the sake of privacy". He didn't like using passwords, so for a while his main machine didn't have any passwords (yes, you could actually login as RMS!). Unfortunately, some loser decided that he'd make deleting RMS's files his mission in life, and eventually, the account was password-protected. However, RMS (to punish himself for preventing others from using the machine) then made it impossible for himself to login remotely. He probably views ssh as unnecessary (not that I've asked him, of course).
But the point of V was that even though the characters might have the same skills, since you've mastered a variety of professions, you still had to use them in different ways, because the number of necessary skills within a party was several times greater than the skills any one character could possess at the same time.
As for VI, the game balance was so ridiculously easy that I found it boring - especially in the second half.
FFV was definitely the best of the series. Bteer graphics and a tighter storyline than IV, and more involvement than anything that came after it. I still think the profession-switching system was the best thing that ever happened to the series - why did they only use it for FFV?!?
Yeah, I installed it yesterday - I stopped at 1 o'clock in the morning after reaching the Siberian stage, 'cause those goddamn tanks keep killing me...
Yeah. Hell, I got blisters from the goddamn Commodore joystick after playing Gorf on a VIC20 for hours on end, I dreamed in Tetris when my GF and I had these five-hour sessions of "I can get one level higher than you can", and my hands cramped when I got my first Super Famicon (SNES to you, I guess) with Street Fighter II.
Lately, I get sleepy playing games - either I'm growing up, or I'm not getting enough sleep;)
You have a 905B. The lsmod is showing you what modules are loaded, but a particular module can cover a fairly wide range of hardware (like the Tulip driver - it's used for pretty much anything from DEC (now Intel)). Just set the 3c59x option to 'm' in xconfig and you'll be fine.
Well, actually (1) does work, because the new version of sendmail that I mentioned above includes SMTP authorization - which allows full encryption of all communications between client and server. Just set up your Linux box to send mail directly rather than through the ISP, and you're fine (although, as you mention, this won't protect against snooping on the receiver's ISP... but that's a job for GPG.)

Alphas might be power-hungry compared with a G4 or PIII, but the Power3 chip is a real monster.

I thought US law had the 'right of first sale'?

They vouch for themselves? Well, that's reassuring...

I thin you mean nitrous oxide. Anyone who abuses liquid nitrogen is going to end up missing a few appendages

In English, that game was called Wolfpack.

CNet never had any credibility to begin with - this just proves it ;)

It also uses XForms, which makes it effectively useless for anything but European languages (although I see they're porting it to GTK).
