And every geek on here that screams and moans and whines about Microsoft activation ran out and bought the damn game the minute it was on the shelf, I'm sure.
I'm sorry dude... I bought it using Steam when CS:Source was released: put my credit-card details into the dodgy little Steam app *sob* so that when Valve is compromised again my credit card details will be stolen and everything... *sob*
I... couldn't... help... myself... oh the shame! How can I call myself a tinfoil hat-wearing Slashdotter with a cynical attitude towards corporations??? I'm a sheep! Baaaa!
But goddamn it's an awesome game. The havok engine is absolutely nuts.
As to what happens in a few years if the auth servers don't exist: i'll just grab the crack.
The dial should be clearly marked where probable fatality starts of course.
Why? Isn't it more fun to try to guess that by the expression on their face?
OK that's rough. I'm actually against capital punishment. Executing people is bad, m'kay? which leads me on to a couple of documentary recommendations:
1. The World At War I've recommended this one before. It's a detailed and appropriately somber BBC doco on WWII. Do you know about the anti-Hitler conspirators that were caught and executed by hanging on meat-hooks? I find that painful to even think about.
2. Executions This one's pretty damn nasty so be warned: It's not for the fainthearted. I don't like watching people get killed but I felt compelled to watch this. One scene of a guy getting executed by AK-47 is awful. Not a _great_ doco but may help some people reconsider their position on capital punishment.
That said, a "Running Man"-type scenario with geeks as "Stalkers" could be well-received.;)
If your computer still does everything you want it to, don't upgrade.
My computer *does* do everything I want it to but I want it to do it all *faster* =)
Personally my next upgrade will probably be mid-2005 when PCI-Express settles in a bit more and there are video cards that utilise the technology well.
a user, even of open source that he loaded as source, wasn't liable for damages from the owners of any IP that got improperly included?"
This is what I thought. Well, not that "it had been settled" but logically it's never seemed right that company A can sue *users* of company B's product because company B stole IP from company A.
It would be like Ford going after Mitsubishi *drivers* because of an IP/ Contract dispute over a fancy new clutch. I really don't think it can be done. Correct me if I'm wrong.
OTOH I know you can lose out badly when you "receive stolen goods" but that doesn't seem to be applicable here.
Microsoft should for a political party. I think they'd do well.

Yum was written by the Yellowdog dudes.
Personally I wish all distros would standardise on *one*. Perhaps *include* other choices but have one installer that comes standard, out of the box, with all distros. The current "While on Debian, use apt-get, on Gentoo use emerge, on RH/Fedora use uptodate, yum or apt-get" situation seems a bit nuts.
*Comic Book Store Guy Voice* I think you'll find it's more along the lines of: "Any attempt to arrest a senior OCP Executive will result in immediate shutdown"
Not sure if I got that 100% but I think so... RC is one of my favourite movies. It's one of those movies I appreciated differently as an adult (the parodies on future society are hilarious) as I did as an adolescent ("Guns, Guns, Guuuuuuns!!!" --Clarence B).
Ronny Cox, Miguel Ferrer and Kurtwood Smith are great in that movie.

We used to have a samba domain, and we're transitioning to AD.
Oh man that makes baby Jesus cry:(
I have a client (the CIO of a large retailer in Oz) running Samba 3 and OpenLDAP 2.2, with home directories NFS and SMB-exported. He *loves* the combo. There was pain setting it up (schema fixes, database fixes... we had upgraded from Samba 2.2 and OpenLDAP 2.0 with schemacheck=off and his database had all sorts of schema violations) but now it chugs away nicely. He can hack login scripts, add/remove users/computers (using idxldapman webmin module) and replicate to his heart's content. Homedir backups are a cinch (we use and love Amanda). What's important to me: I can do an ldapsearch or slapcat to dump his entire database in case of disaster. I can practically guarantee that if his LDAP server exploded tomorrow I'd be able to reload the database on another machine and get him running in an hour or so (could be a lot less, depends mostly on network congestion: his link isn't the greatest...), remotely (he's in a different state).
Samba 3 and OpenLDAP 2.2. is not good enough for your needs? I realise there's still some features Samba 3 doesn't support which Samba 4 is trying to address. I guess you're reliant on some of these missing features??

Everyone seems keen on AoD but I thought it was very ordinary compared to ED2.
ED2 is one of the best horror/comedies of all time.
If you like ED2 you may also like Peter Jacksons' "Brain Dead". That one is a lot of fun.

Surely that should be disabled pensioner, not disability pensioner. Ahh well, there's no accounting for grammar on /. stories.
No no, it's right the way it is.
A "disability pensioner" is someone who receives a pension due to their disability.
"Disabled pensioner" would be someone who receives a pension due to their age and just happens to be disabled.
