Don't blame me for the/. effect - I just finished make bzdisk. As near as I can tell, there's just a few new features that I need since my last kernel compile (before I went to rh7): I like the SBLive/EMU10K1 support, but there's no non-experimental NTFS write support yet. I still need NT5/W2k for things like Half-Life, so I don't want to corrupt that partition.

Forgot that one - not sure why, because "Beavis and Butt-Head" anything was the shitz. I went through a period when everything I said was accompanied by "huh-huh."... not really. The shroom trip was done by an outside animator (name listed separately in the credits) so it, of course, is extremely different. Once, when MTV re-ran that movie, they showed foreign posters for it before and after commercial breaks. The one in cyrillic/russian was particularly cool...

I almost forgot - at several points, the music sounds just like the Darth Vader theme from Star Wars, or at least the first bar does. And don't get me started on how the Darth Vader theme sounds like Mars by Gustav Holst.

Three of the four games you listed don't have enough depth (Wing Commander actually had an interesting plot). The real problem is, a game usually lasts longer than an hour and a half, there's a smaller selection of them than books, and game authors already try to make them like movies. Half-Life would make a suckass movie because the game is already basically a sci-fi horror movie, and many people have played it enough to be able to criticize a movie if somebody was fool enough to make one.

Some of that might be a stretch, but I'm no expert in either one. And I have no goal to be. One thing sure - The Final Fantasy movie had better not suck out loud like D&D. D&D all but killed pen&paper RPG games for me. Let's hope FF doesn't kill video RPG games for me either.

But you can't fold them into paper airplanes... Still, the best CD trick is to get your paws on some Pop Nazi's Backstreet-Sync-Spears-whatever CD, and shatter it in your bare hands while they watch you. Just make sure you are wearing glasses instead of contacts B)

The little ring that adjusts the device sounds incredibly stupid. If we want something that can be read in existing CD readers, what can we use that is already out and requires just a little bit more care in its transport. What is that called again... oh, right - A CD-R(W).

This new disc will be flexible and extremely thin. That also means it will be really easy to cut with scissors, if not torn by hand. If they look too much like paper, there will also be problems, like data-airplanes, where they get folded up and flown across offices. Now that I think of it, that would be cool if I could fold AOL discs like that without them shattering...

Netcraft can't get uptime from Windows servers, because there isn't an easy way to get/proc info by sitting at the machine, much less over the network. I can view the slsahdot statistics from slashdot.org slashboxes. (I think there's a good ad for Linux: "We're so good, we brag about our uptime!")

Wouldn't it be nice just to have a separate viewer for manpages so you can use them in the home library, or even when you're too lazy to switch consoles.
I can also see them being nice for Window$ users who are following online documentation, but don't have a GeForce 2 MX w/ dual screen support.

If you give yourself two login names, you have several alternate IDs set up. That way, you can possibly have multiple lawsuits, or at least have two different accounts on amazon.com, one for the family, the other for, uhh, other things...

Actually I do believe the interface is important. It allows the graphical human mind to be able to grasp the relationships between the data a lot quicker, which is what it is all about, anyways. However, programming one is quite easy. If I can write one on a $100 calculator, it can be done on a much fancier computer after I spend as much time learning the language on the computer as I did on my calc.

You're nuts if you don't appreciate the visual interface. Although the command line is fast in issuing commands to your computer, text isn't as efficient for us to comprehend as images. Just because our ideas are almost always expressed through linguistics doesn't mean we have evolved to do it faster than visuals and other non-linguistic means. "Bird chirping" doesn't tell us things that hearing the bird chirp can tell us in the same amount of time. What type of bird is it? Is it friendly? Is it hungry? "Painting of woman" isn't the same as seeing the Mona Lisa.

Theoretically, it would be possible for an OS to be for both 'home and work' purposes. However, very few OSes come close to bridging that gap. RedHat 6.2 and 7.0 have come close, attacking from the work side, turning a robust server OS into something that you can use for games, while Windows 2000 did the same, turning the M$ server os, NT4, and adding some decent media functionality, and it's now something I can use for anything. However, this problem would be extremely difficult to tackle from the home side, or at least the demon in Redmond has trouble trying to accomplish that feat.
Personally, I like OSes that can do both, and I imagine anybody would.

Darwin, to most corporates, would seem to be something that takes care of itself. They believe that the really showy stuff is more difficult than making the plumbing behind the scenes work, whereas any half-decent programmer knows that they can make the pretty fountain shoot however they want as long as the pipes are straight. Instead of releasing a working OS like (insert favorite OS here), they're going to end up releasing Windows ME.
If I offended you with that Windows ME reference, leave this site immediately.

Than what did. I mean, they spend billions on orbiting cell towers, and lose it all because nobody wants expensive cell phones. There aren't many travelers who need continuous global coverage because most business trips are to areas with sufficient phone access, and people who travel for pleasure are trying to get away from the working life, not take it with them.
