I was a proud owner of various Amigas 500,1200, 4000 although you did get guru mediation crashes (even crashes were cool on the amiga) it never occurred by just running desktop apps, it was always a game/graphics app that crashed the system never just using your desktop.
For me my computer dark ages occurred during 1996-2001 - the years I used Windows.
Going from an Amiga 1200 to Windows 95 was the worst downgrade of my life, although my brand new PC had a infinitely faster CPU and more RAM it was so slow, any sound and graphics would constantly skip, software which used to be free now cost a lot and didn't work as well, and windows just crashed all the time..
My Dark age finished when I started using Linux, I tried XP but that was even slower than Windows 95/98, it also crashed.
I remember great giana sisters being more playable (and far faster) than the original mario bros - I was glad that came out as Nintendo would never have made an Amiga version of Mario. In this case the clone was banned
Does this work entirely on movement?
i.e could it detect for example a certain (ahem) plant / herb ?
And how thick does the tinfoil need to be to block it ?
Obama got it because the whole world was overjoyed with having a non moron in charge of the worlds largest superpower, to top it off he could speak in real sentences !
Seeing as they they still control 90% of the world pc's (when will the people wake up ?) they could easily create a 3d net api that relied on DirectX - locking people into i.e...
One massive advantage of Linux is that old hardware (that support exists for - which is most..) keep getting support. (it is very rare to drop a driver in the kernel just because it is old hardware.)
Although I have dabbled with OSS4 in the past with success, Alsa is the way to go to have an easy life and working sound.
I run Archlinux (Alsa) and Ubuntu (Pulseaudio), All issues I have with sound (i.e quakelive) occur only with Ubuntu, there are always work a rounds/fixes, etc - due to pulseaudio. Arch linux everything generally just works... Just try quakelive on a non pulseaudio system - it just works....
Installing the alsa-oss package usually ensures that ALL oldere games / apps work (as far as I have tried)
You run tor locally in conjunction with privoxy (to disguise DNS requests) - you could set up your network proxy so that every thing goes through tor.
Not everything is compatible however - i.e FTP - protocols not compatible will just not work (if you have setup your entire network to use the tor/privoxy proxy).
To be safe try about:plugins (in firefox) to ensure that no plugins are available.
I was one of the few people in the galaxy to own a CDTV - possibly the most unpopular system ever (CD32 is so much better), this machine can semi be blamed for Commodore's demise.

As the goverbent has responded saying they don't care, the researcher should wiki leak the process so we can all have a go, 'll have max benefits on mine, I shall also change my name on it to a Mr G Brown.
As usual Linus (I believe) was right - you do not want fixes that break things, Windows updates often introduce new security flaws when fixing the old one...
Linus didn't need to be that harsh though. I'm sure that Alan Cox will still contribute to Linux or at least open source. Anyone know what Con Kolivas is doing now ?

Strange the Amiga was faster then

thankfully I migrated (upgraded) all my machines to Linux and Openoffice in 2005 so thankfully I did not experience that bug.

Everybody knows roughly 9 out of 10 paedophiles use Windows.

Without Linux the internet would be a very different place today.

Yes, and thats about it
I'm thinking they may be doing this the challenge the other 3d internets...

For me it was Windows XP - it was just slower (in gaming) than Windows 98 on the same hardware...
Looks like WarlordIV works (at least in windowed mode) in wine.
... It may now completely work.

Also the last review was written with a older version

If he had disabled all plugins (i.,e flash,etc) in his browser surely he would have never left a trace of ip ?
If there was ever a situation where emergency powers were introduced i'm guessing that having no internet would be the least of our worries.

Come on - we want 100% from you.

LiveCD/DVD's are always slower then a proper HD install.
Will this not make peoples bechmark results slower ? This would invalidate the benchmark results.
Well it seems that the Robot suffered from a memory leak...
Forget Boston Tea party, i'm thinking more French revolution - Sort of socialist but with extreme violence !
do you have a source for that ? (I may bother to upgrade,,,)
In 2003 Alan cox stopped kernel development for a year whilst he learnt Welsh.

It seems he left with little notice then (although he was maintaining the older kernel - 2.2) . Kernel development still continued in his absence....
