The customer always lies. Always. The customer is too ashamed to admit that they don't understand technology very well. Even the ones that will call you up and say upfront that they "don't know nothing about computers" will start lieing after about 3 minutes when they start getting self conscious about it. They'll simply make shit up when they don't understand a question you ask them instead of saying they don't understand. It takes a lot of practice to sniff out the lies, and read through the half truths. Damn I'm glad I don't have to do tech support anymore.
Actually, the average slashdotter is probably going to say "check this out". The minority that you are refering to are the trolls that are too lazy to bother doing anything but shoot down great ideas, and use the same lame leetspeak they use on IRC to impress women that are actually grown men pretending to be women. The evidence of stock price manipulation in this case couldn't be more compelling unless God himself contacted the SEC and said something.
I just hope that InterTrust Technologies does the right thing and follows SCO's example by issuing windows xp. office xp, and xbox licenses so the users can purchase them and be doing the right thing in the eyes of the law.
but what if exporting that work enables IBM to spend money on R & D that provides even more work for state-side developers in the long run?
That's a little naive don't you think? More than likely if would enable IBM to spend money on R&D that provides even more work for India. Why spend money on expensive US developers?
Just like how every pathetic cut that every person does on every OS is a cut and paste of what everyone else says. Are you new here? That's a high slashdot ID, but not too high. Usually people give up on trying to whore karma by pointing out the obvious after about 3 days when it gets old. I don't think slashdot is for you. You should try something more microsoft friendly where you'll read only things that you agree with.
Hahhaha, trust me I'd totally think the same way but over the last decade I've met most of them, their husbands who usually also play, and their kids who usually play also.
A strategy one player game where you are the President of the USA. I shouldn't have to go into to much more detail. You can imagine how cool it could be made. Imagine an online version where you have to compete with others and run a full campaign. It would be the same type of deal where college kids and unemployed people would have a lot more time to campaign, but it could still be made very cool. Taking your country to the brink of war and back. Consulting with FBI and other sources on threat issues. Handling the media and the spin and the lobbyists and vetoing things. People like a game where they play a powerful character. How about the most powerful man in the free world?
That's an excellent product idea. I know I'd buy an IBM pda just for the cool black case with the IBM letters on it. That would become a geek fetish item overnight. Expecially if it rocked and was actually useful.
I've had the same PS1 for what, 6 years? My PS2 has never had a problem. Oh, I had to RMA my xbox because it spontaneously shuts itself off for no good reason. Tech support said it must be a heating issue, but it sits out in the open. I have A/C. None of my other consoles seem to have any problems. It's been a few weeks now that I had to send my xbox back at my own expense to fix their problem. I call but I get no information. "It's still being processed". "There is a huge backlog". Big surprise. I think when I get it back I'll sell it on ebay to some sucker and try to make some of my money back.
I've been noticing that the same type of people that make sure to talk as loudly as possible when they are on their phones at the supermarket, or the movie theater are the same people that play games on their phones and say things like:
"COME ON! COME ON! COME ON! YES! SCORE!!!!!"
or
"JUST ONE MORE POINT! JUST ONE MORE POINT!"
Even more loudly then they normally talk on their phones in a bid for attention.
How long before the mothers and outraged crazy people and politicians latch on to games on cellphones as attention robbing devices that cause people to walk in front of buses and drive off roads and slaughter their classmates with uzi's. It's only a matter of time I'm sure.
I too had really crappy framerates with my ti500. I wasn't very surprised to find out I didn't have my renderer specified right in doomconfig.cfg. Suddenly I had 65fps with no issues.
Note: if you are slick, you can use the extract.exe command on the windows cd using wine with a mounted win98 cd if you copy extract.exe to your fake_windows/Windows directory.
I put them at the bottom of the file right above #
After that, wine kazaa_lite_kpp_edition_240_english.exe
Do the install. Pick whatever options you want. After it's done it autolaunches the k-lite config crap. You might as well cancel out of it because it's going to bomb. run kazaalite by changing to the install directory, and typing wine kpp.exe. That's it. Make sure to visit the setup options and set important stuff.
Quake 3 is all hyper-frantic and cathedrals and blood
Of the 40 or so members of my quake3 clan, fully 1/4 of the members are women. There are a lot of women playing Quake3 arena. They seem to gravitate towards CTF and railsonly style play. They are damn good too. They range in ages from early 20's to late 50's, at least in the case of my clan. Of course, our members are mostly older players that started out with quakeworld and kept playing right on through to quake3, and will probably be playing whatever instagib mod is out for Doom3, quake4, etc.
So the fact that me and everybody I know can connect to midwest, or any of the other punkbuster enabled UrT servers with no problems means it's a problem with me, ID and evenbalance and not your setup? Grow up. We didn't want to play with someone like you anyway. Looks like we lucked out.
Ok, that actually got the mod installed with no errors I think.
Now the problem is that I can't click on start/menu programs/Unrealspeed to start it as the HowTo tells me too.:) I'll mess with it and see if I can start it with some flags. Thanks for the heads up.
Me thinks you protest too much. I freaking LOVE punkbuster. Without it, I wouldn't bother playing online at all. It's so pleasing when some moron shows up with an ogc bot and gets kicked off.:) It just makes me giddy. Granted, not all of us are as good as Haku and can DESTROY A BOT with nothing more than talent and skill. You'll need the a recent quake3 to view that demo. It's some of the slickest playing I've ever seen.

Not really!
Looks like the tech guys need to form a union.

It seems to me that he's more of a loser
Well, duh. Look who's side he's on. Definitely not
someone you want a stock tip from. Not someone you'd
listen to when picking a horse for a trifecta.

sure.

As I just did this 30 minutes ago....
d ll. dll
/mnt/cdrom/win98
/a /l c:\windows\system win98.cab comdlg32.dll
.wine/fake_windows/Windows/System
.wine directory with
.wine/config in the right place:
First, get the newest version of wine.
Next get these files from a win98 installation
or cd:
comdlg32.dll
ole32.dll
shdocvw.dll
commctrl.
oleaut32.dll
shlwapi.dll
ntdll.dll
shdoclc
urlmon.dll
Note: if you are slick, you can use the
extract.exe command on the windows cd using wine
with a mounted win98 cd if you copy extract.exe
to your fake_windows/Windows directory.
example:
cd
wine extract
should extract comdlg32.dll from the cab file, and
pop it into your
folder where you want it to be.
After getting those files in your system folder,
Download the registery hack from frankscorner.
You can get it HERE.
Replace the registery in your
that one.
After that, add these EXACT LINES to your
[AppDefaults\\Kazaa.kpp\\DllOverrides]
"*" = "builtin, native, so"
"commctrl" = "native"
"shdoclc" = "native"
"shdocvw" = "native"
"shlwapi" = "native"
"comdlg32" = "native"
"ole32" = "native"
"oleaut32" = "native"
"ntdll" = "native"
"urlmon" = "native"
I put them at the bottom of the file right above
#
After that,
wine kazaa_lite_kpp_edition_240_english.exe
Do the install. Pick whatever options you want. After it's done it autolaunches the k-lite config crap. You might as well cancel out of it because it's going to bomb. run kazaalite by changing to the install directory, and typing wine kpp.exe. That's it.

This doesn't show anything! I'm a big fanboy for:
_____ -- put OS here
That runs:
_____ -- put web server here
And it's just as reliable and good as FreeBSD.
Hell, It's BETTER because:
___________________________-- put dubious statistics here
_______ -- put marketing rhetoric here
And besides, you can't do:
________ -- put proprietary technology here
with FreeBSD anyway so it's worthless!!!
5 of the top 10 hosting companies in terms of reliability were FreeBSD based
:)
When in actuality the netcraft article says this:
"Intriguingly, all of the Top 5 placed sites run the FreeBSD operating system"
Slight difference there.
In this case they are actually counting FreeBSD :)
machines. So no, OSX doesn't count this time.
