Can you tell me if reiserfs is supported out of the box? I've been trying to find this info everywhere but can't seem to find it much - and all of our labs run reiserfs exclusively.
Since you've master those problems, here are some slightly more difficult problems for you to tackle:
2) Get laid. Get so good at it that you can walk into any social situation and walk out with someone you just met.
3) Find a person who perfectly compliments your own strengths and faults, marry them, create a strong and lasting marriage, have kids, and raise them to be excellent people.
you get the idea... I find these games to be much more challenging and rewarding than most video games.
One can argue about taste... but comparing a Yamaha to a Steinway? Obviously the Steinway should sound better. (I've played on both instruments)
Well, my dream piano would clearly be a Steinway model d - don't know if I'll ever get one because they're close to $100,000. But don't discount the Yamahas too much. They don't have the name, but they make damn fine pianos. And if given the choice of any piano other than a *good* Steinway, I'd go with a Yamaha - forget Bergendorfer and everone else.
You know, I wonder if this really matters. I've recently discovered mencoder (part of mplayer) and it's libavcodec. It's absolutely amazing. I can compress ~5G mpeg to about 1.5G without really any loss in quality. Does QT add anything except compatibility with a popular format? If you're encoding on your own, try mencoder
Hi guys. I've been wondering something for a bit. Would someone tell me why people dumb huge wads of cash on these big plasma screen displays when they could spend a coupld of grand on a decent digital XGA projector and project the picture onto a screen/wall at 9 feet by 6 or something like that?
Just curious... That's what I'd do if I had any money.:)
Also, "Count Dooku"? Are they trying to get laughs? I can take the names based on normal words (Darth inSidious) but something on their scratchpad had to be better than that.
"I know! Count Dooo-koo. Doesn't that work George?"
But I didn't go in there expecting Gandhi, and it was otherwise very good. I just hate seeing something that could be great trip on such silly things.
I just can't believe that with that much money they couldn't come up with some good writers... There were so many moments there which could have been really really good. Why wasn't Anakin's mom mad when he found her? Why didn't Anakin go on a real tirade and why did he smile when leaving right after that in his ship? How much money does one need to get a good script going???
I think he's right. What are these extra features which are worth 39$? I would love to have a reason to support these people but the free alternatives (mostly konqueror 3.0 but I suppose mozilla as well) do 97% of what I need. I really would love to find something to differentiate enough that it's worth +$39...
Sorry, I don't buy it. The Romans (after the Greeks, from whom they took many things) were founders of Western Civilization. I don't see Sun like that.
Linux doesn't need Sun. Sun needs Linux. and I'm being very objective about that. I'm no free software zealot by any stretch, but free software has this self-renewing momentum that every other company wishes they could immitate.
This is really a gem of a game but I urge people setting up servers not to do the easy thing and hike up the shots to 10 or something and allow jumping.
The game is *much much* more fun without jumping, though it doesn't immediately seem so. You start to learn how to drive correctly and defensively and it is a much richer experience.
Games with and without these options can be described as follows:
With jumping and lots of bullets: You spend most of your time jumping up in the air dodging other people's sprays of bullts, spinning around and landing in directions you just don't want to land in.
Without jumping and lots of bullets: You actually can play cat and mouse. When your opponent's 2 shots are gone and you've dodged them, you can release at will. Much more interesting game. The other is just silly, but that's how people tend to start and they never learn better.
The one thing I never liked (don't know if they still do it, but it was done this way in 8.1) is the way that they take large pakages (such as KDE) and put all of the files in non-standard (according to KDE, I suppose) directories. There's no/opt/kde2, everything is dispersed around the system.../usr/share/kde2/lib, etc...
While I suppose that this is the "right" way to do it in one sense, it makes adding in other KDE software (whether compiling or what not) very difficult.
You've got to do some nasty configure black-magic like./configure --prefix=/usr/blah --bindir=blah blah. Does it have to be this way??
Well, guess what. Even if you think that games are the entire universe, some day you might just need an MRI and need someone to be able to look at it and find something that will keep you from dying. Medical imaging is one of the things that the GeForce 4 will be good enough to do. Scientific visualization, volumetric rendering, that sort of stuff.
Sorry man, really the only use of volumetric rendering in medicine is research. 2D is better for MRI, CT, etc. I worked at some hospitals in Boston which did 3D to better view such things but it was more of a hack and it's much easier to view all of that data sequentially in 2D.
Over Christmas I got a Leadtek Ti 200 and have been enjoying it when I get the chance. I downloaded the chameleon demo from Nvidia and still think it is quite the bomb. But I've noticed that a number of other demos on their web site were never released to the public. There were "movies" of them, but what's the use of a movie of something if you have a card capable of doing the real thing. These are "demos" aren't they? Why were the binaries never posted?
I was over taking a peek at the new demos and, looking at 3 of them, didn't see one which was actually available to download. Why is this? I hope they will show up in time but still don't understand why the others didn't, at least completely, make it. Why don't video card manufacturers include these in those silly CDs they have. The Leadtek CD comes with, among other wastrel silly programs, a pretty awful DVD program. Why can't they include some of the real demos which would show off the cards so much better?
Rubbish. This is utterly rubbish. Sure, we're not growing a third arm within the lifetime of this person, but evolution is most certainly occuring. It just takes a long time and it's something we would never notice without historical data.
I will tell you one interesting fact though - we have this old house - built around 1829 and the handrails around the landing with the stairs are really low. People back then were generally smaller. There's one thing I can think of.
Now, I asked this question once of someone too. But his answer was just the opposite. He thought we were evolving faster than normal because we could better our own environment to that point ourselves. Medicine, more or less our discoveries, are prolonging our "natural" course of life and life-events right now. That that has changed.
I have a question which I haven't seen answered anywhere. What about all of the game patches? Is someone going to host those? I don't care whether I have to use the loki installer or just download them, but I don't know of any place to get them save loki...
There has been a direct correlation found between cell age and the length of certain sections of the genetic code called "telomeres". As a cell ages, these telomeres grow shorter. Scientists believe that this may be one of the ways cells "know when to die".

IAA physician. (BTW, do Americans (or is it a New Zealander in this case?) really call all physicians "doctors"? Cute.)
>isn't it the case that sitting anywhere for too long can cause blood clots to form in the legs?
No. You get a harmless and physiologically normal venous pooling of blood, but if you get clotting from sitting still you suffer from a disease.
Methinks there's one doctor who needs to brush up on Virchow's Triad:
1. Stasis
2. Endothelial Injury
3. Hypercoagulability

And funnily enough, you can buy this book at Amazon for 30% off!
Whether this says something about their "abnormally low prices" or how they value the book, no one can say, I suppose.

What have the Romans ever done for us?
