  1. So actual science is a waste of millions by NASA when putting guns in space is fine. This guy...

    Arrows back on regular sites, seem to be still gone from google sites. Oh google, you're so funny...

  4. He has a point on UK Games Industry Over the Hill? · · Score: 1

    I'm now a J2EE architect, but my lineage was a ZX81, Sharp MZ80K, BBC micro then an Atari ST. My first job after graduating was for Kuma here in the UK writing ST software. There's free dev tools on all the main platforms, but how do you get started on something cool that's small & someone else hasn't already written? I guess people need more inspiration. Bring back the BBC & brown cardigans!

    Bit of Linux noob here, having last touched BSD for my Comp Sci degree 20 years ago. My work has gone Java so I'm trying OpenSUSE (may as well go the whole hog & ditch MS eh? :) ) but...
    I'm looking to get dual monitors working OK :

    Linux (from a forum post, yet to get it to work):-
    • sh ./ati-driver-versuon.run
    • aticonfig --initial --dual-head --screen-layout=above
    • sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx
    • rcxdm restart
    • sometimes need reboot
    Windows:
    • Install driver from exe
    • Reboot
    • Right click system tray icon & select extended desktop

    Until Linux gets better driver support so it works out of the box, it's fighting an uphill battle with the non geek.

    Just
    1. Print off his myspace page
    2. Show him it
    3. Ask if he'd have any objections putting it on the town notice board or pasting copies up all over town.
