Realistically you should use "--delete-after" but Fedora Core 4 ships with a broken version of rsync (and to the best of my knowledge they haven't fixed it, despite it being THE ONLY BUG with that version) which will actually NOT backup changes if you use "--delete-after". Meh.
Considering that WMF was originally a response to PS, perhaps GRC's on crack and the functionality makes sense in a context where the specification was that you just dump raw WMF to a printer that itself has a WMF engine. In this case the "go to next instruction on abort" makes perfect sense as it's processing the content coming down the wire.
Amen absolutely. The Aliens TC for DOOM was scarier than DOOM itself, for exactly that reason: The level designers could afford to make the first level suspensful, because with DOOM, if the first level of the shareware version had NO MONSTERS, people wouldn't have bought the game.
Sometimes the scariest parts of games are the parts where you're left alone, wondering when the hammer will fall. I also liked the Aliens TC for the novel approach to door monsters... they'd have partially transparent walls, so you'd walk in, and you could see the monsters, and hear them, and you knew that at any moment, they'd pop out and gnaw you.
Man. Suspense is always scary.
Though, for me, the "Hell" level in DOOM 3 was pretty good. Not Aliens TC good, but scary as... er... hell.
1: I recently switched from Norton to F-Prot, as it did a better job of finding malware than Norton/Symantec. (Though, allegedly, Kaspersky has a better detection rate) 2: f-prot pro is $44 per "user"... you should ask about low-cost non-profit pricing. It's free for personal use on Linux. 3: consider running one network for the desktops, and a separate network with a firewall/dansguardian/snort for laptops so the nasty visitors don't plague your permanent machines
If you'll note, only the single-char demo said "Realtime"... and the graphics for that aren't anything an nvidia demo hasn't done before. There's a big difference between one character on screen and dozens, plus weapon effects, UI, local environment, distance environment...
For all we know, the "gameplay" in the video renders as poorly as, say, Tribes 2 does. (Kidding , I love you guys)
Now, to truly rant:...remember how good DOOM3 looked in the demos? And how much the gameplay was like turning your monitor off for 5 minutes, then flipping it on to click madly while cutscenes from Alone in the Dark played? Yeah.
It's a pretty demo. Well done. Can I go back to playing WoW now?
That was the interesting part. What they NEED to do is update the libraries and development options in SFU so you can just port all your "unix" programs to Lonhorn's "unix" layer. Talk about embrace and extend...
Companies make GPS-timeclock receivers that connect to your server with a serial cable and have software to do clock drift adjustment. If you can get a GPS signal, you're set.
the only problem with over-specialized character classes comes with 'support' classes, such as CoH's "Controller" class. Without "offensive" skills, the Controller is nothing but a button-pusher: "Oh, look, another battle. Target our Tank. Heal. Heal. Heal. Clear mind. Heal. Heal. Recovery Aura. Heal. Until they readjusted the characters (and gave out free respecs) I hated playing my 'starting' character because I would just sit in battles pressing 1. 2. 3. 1. 2. 3. 1. 2. 3.... without any accomplishment. I considered turning on "Follow" and leaving a stack of quarters on the "Heal" key.
Specialized characters may make sense, but part of the fun of playing is the sense of personal accomplishment. If all I do is stand around glowing while everyone one else fulfills the mission goals, there's no point in playing that class.
And God help me if PvP were part of general gameplay. I'd never get anywhere as a Controller. Sure--I can stun your ass. But then I spend an hour punching you to death, and long before that, you/quit.
But will they swap \ for / ? THAT's what I want. The entire cosmos now uses/. er... '/'....though I suspect the entire cosmos DOES use/. to blather about their preferred operating system and how kids in trenchcoats are being oppressed by jonkatz or... something...
"OS X is much more intuitive and overall an easier to use operating system"
Um, have you _used_ OS X? Good god, man. It is no such thing.
OS X throws away most of the Apple HIG, and is a delightful mish-mash of styles. It's awful. It makes a delightful demo, what with the Lickability Factor up around 11. But after having used it for a year (and, mind you, I've been a raving fanboy myself, first of System 7, then of OS/2) I have to say "no thanks". OS X tries to play close to the Mac ideal, but fails miserably.
Also, Have you ever worked at a helpdesk? Working at a helpdesk is entirely involved around Getting the User Off The Phone so You Can Bill the Client. Which means telling them what they should do. Because what they want to do is long, rambling, pointless and usually impossible.
Thirdly, Have you ever bought a mac? The Mac has never been about "flexibility in pricing" it's been about "Making money on low volume by high margins". Fully expect Apple to charge not a penny less for Intel-based computers, and pocket the sweet, sweet profits.
This is a ridiculous rumor. I could see it, perhaps, for XServe, to run on Intel hardware, seeing as it doesn't really have a UI to speak of, and is pretty much just Darwin. Apple could write all of its own system management apps to display remotely, no problem. THAT is the only option that makes sense.
Now, ponder what would happen if they asked, say, Pro Tools "Oh, hey, yeah, ummmm. We need you to produce two more copies of your software. One for old PPC macs and one for new x86-64 macs. Why do you look so angry?"
I can virtually guarantee that after such a move, no version of Quark Xpress would ever be produced for the mac ever again. Let alone Photoshop. Adobe's been itching to jump ship since the whole PPC thing happened in the first place.
It's absurd to imagine Apple selling out their G5 RISC AltiVec whizbang-think-different tech for something that drives the computers that go "Beep Beep".
But, then, it IS Steve Jobs and Apple. Everyone thought for sure they'd buy out Gassee and new macs would run BeOS. I suppose I should never underestimate the RDF.
Simple. Just get some metallic body paint and write "Suck it, Cockfag!!" (or something equally as distasteful) on some clothed part of you. When they complain, complain back about invasion of privacy.
Eventually people will notice how stupid the technology is.
"I think a more interesting line of speculation is: Is Apple developing, or thinking of developing, an OSX version for the new CELL processor?"
An even better question is "If the XBox 360 runs on a powerPC-like CPU, will MSFT start selling W2K for the G5?" that'd be a fine how-do-you-do. "Dear Steve, we're releasing a fully compatible 'Windows 2k5 for OS X'. It's a trick we learned from IBM. gg.--Love, Bill"
See, now, THIS is a point. Trying to tie un-funny to OMFG THEY WANT ME TO CONFORM TEHY ARE TEH SUCK BBQ!!! is just silly.
Baybe if the parent's parent's parent's author would just shop more at abercrombie and fitch, he'd understand that it's okay to be beautiful and blonde, and he should be too.
Listen, you need to be more pedantic and reactionary to conform to Slashdot standards. I mean, really. If you can't be like the rest of the slashdot crowd, then you're some kind of freak.
"If you play Risk (or god forbid Warhammer 40k or Battletech) instead of Chess, or MTG instead of Bridge or Poker, you're a "loser" and an evil monster."...no, but if you play it obsessively, or spend more time interacting with people throught he medium of Warhammer 40k than you do, say, out at dinner with friends--or, if you dress up like Stormtrooper Q323-a and interact with other stormtroopers......then maybe you should stop interacting with your fellow human beings through a medium and do it directly. Stop meta-living and start actually having a life. It's too short to spend it in some faerie world of make-believe hiding yourself from those evil people who you fear are trying to make you "conform".
This is really easy, and I can make money on it. I hereby exclaim my intent to patent "The Electronic Thumb" which will be a rubber thumb printed with the exact same thumbprint on every product. The consumer then uses "The Electronic Thumb" whenever they want to purchase a DVD. They keep another thumb at home, taped to the "Prole Identity Authenticator" on their telescreen. This way you can lend someone your DVDs to watch and your "The Electronic Thumb" acts as a replacement for you.
That's why this is stupid. Eventually there'll be a bugmenot.com for DVDs, where the community selects one universal token for identification.
Where it is amply explained that ionizing salt water can only create chlorinated water, or bleach, which, of course, ARE good antibacterials, but are also *gasp* oxidants. Why the SHOCK!

Thank you for the link to 'what Captcha is'. I'm glad you and the AC know.
Why do we even have editors? Why not just have slashblog, where every anonymous user just posts "ZOMFG, HAXZ)R TEH PL4NETtt!!" links.
