Right after first sentence in the "intersting read" states:
Although Linux already has a pair of evolving GUIs -- KDE and Gnome -- neither is anywhere near as easy to set up and use as the Mac OS or Windows. Indeed, users must occasionally resort to typing commands into a command-line interface.
When I read shit like that, I just stop reading the article. A pair of GUI's? So you are saying I have to use KDE or Gnome in order to be using a GUI? If you only consider clones of the MicroSoft Windows interface to be a "GUI" then you are right. I guess my blackbox or window maker aren't GUI's then. Resort to typing in commands at a command line? WTF?? What the hell is the keyboard for? I suppose you typed your article in MicroSoft Word with the mouse? My rage is reaching the critical point with this mainstream "is it like windows?" shit. CmdrTaco, if this is an interesting read, then I'm glad my day isn't filled with as much boredom as yours.

Thats called a honeypot. I did that all the time when I was on the @home cable network. Fake smb shares, fake back orifice (and netbus) server, and a dummy account. I was emailing @home about malicious break-in attempts and c:\ deletion about twice a week. I'm not sure if they took any action though.
Competition and independent development are irrelevant when he is intentionally breaking the GPL for his own glory. If he chooses to make his own modifications to the GPL Quake1 source and have a lan party in his basement, I encourage him to do that. That's not what he is doing. The fact that he can modify the source and improve it suggests that he is a talented coder, and that his skills could be better used elsewhere. Assimilated? I thought that term was copyrighted by MicroSoft.
Nice self +moderation btw. It would be intersting if/. would add a feature as to the moderation history of posts.

It would be a violation. Check Section 2a of the GPL. Your "re-entering" of the code on another terminal is a verbatim copy, and converting it to Pascal would be a "derivative".
If the GPL was this easy to circumvent, you'd think MicroSoft would do it.... wait a minute, how do we know they haven't taken some very useful code, such as from SAMBA, and borged it into improving thier own CIFS, or at least changing thier CIFS so that the latest samba version is incompatible....

I like to play Q2 Weapons Factory, which is what Team Fortress 2 would have been had they not switched to the Half Life game.
The cheaters in this mod are phenominal. The WF servers are racing to keep up with the bots and hacks here. Snipers that make headshots (instant kill) 100% of the time, without even facing you. Then when you mention this, the server admin (who is often cheating himself, not like that 13ms ping isn't bad enough!) kicks you off the server for pointing it out. Its about one game in twenty that I don't see a blatant cheater playing, which sort of takes the enjoyment of a good game out of it. I sure hope if and when Q2 is open sourced, and possibly the mods, that these problems too will be solved.
Why doesn't this Slade guy just 1) give up 2) quit this Quake Lives shit and join up with the much superior quakeforge project , the opensource team project to further the quake 1 experience
Let me put it this way... Do you want Microsoft co-opting Linux, yet try to not return the benefits of source code on the projects they "borrowed" from Linux' head start?
Well afaik MicroSoft took thier tcp/ip from BSD, which of course is allowed in their liberal license, what this does not explain is why the MicroSoft tcp/ip sucks donkey balls and begs for more. With incompetence like that, who needs "return benefits" from MicroSoft?
Hi how you doing? Slade attacks the fact that no one is attempting to fix bugs, or make Quake better. I ask you, what has Slade done to fix bugs and make Quake better? He himself has closed the source of his tree, and isn't obiding by the wording, or the intent of the GPL.

I use the win32 version of netscape when im windoh's, and the file(s) is called prefs.js and liprefs.js and adding that line to either file doesn't get rid of the "Shop" button.
On another note, can anyone download the 128 bit versions? I keep getting dead links.
Theres alot of pretty good documentation out there for Quake with voodoo2. Rather than assume that XFree86 4.0 is going to automagically configure the games for you, try reading some articles, or go to a message board, or even irc. Those FPS's are known to work, so people out there can help you.
Wouldn't that just increase r to sqrt(2)r and not split the circle in half? I think what you need is "r = +sqrt(x^2 + y^2)" (top semicircle) or "r = -sqrt(x^2 + y^2)" (bottom semicircle)
I ran into this using Maple V at university where you couldn't plot a full circle with cartesian coords since it wasn't a function. Stick to polar coords for curvy things.
OR... Windows2000 doesn't work with a bunch of games. They test this BEFORE releasing it, fix it, and don't need to put out a patch the day after release.
Ever worked on a retail product? With a deadline?
Hello. Windows 2000 was done before Christmas, 1999. They kept it for testing purposes. They didn't fix these problems in that time, indicating that a) It really wasn't done b) Microsoft's "testing" is meaningless and they all went on holiday instead c) Microsoft is gouging the customer with its inflated licensing fees d) a) and b) e) All of the above
