It's a good thing that the students aren't as retarded as the people we send off to get the rules for us. It's all a ploy to get the worthless project-manager type people out of our hair and in another state while we do the most important brainstorming.
Linux does not equal SusE, Mandrake or Redhat please remember that.
Well, I guess that since Linux is a standalone kernel, it would be foolish to expect it to have a GUI that always works, an installer that always works, and productivity software that always works. Sorry, my bad.
If SUSE took 12 hours to install, you are doing something very seriously wrong.
Downloading packages took all night, installing the kernel took half an hour, and after X decided to not work and locked up the computer, we rebooted, and had the screen filling with periods for twenty minutes. I dare say, the seriously wrong thing that I did was probably choose SuSE.
I hate to say this, but installing Linux isn't nearly as easy, fast, or reliable as Windows XP. I saw a perfectly normal SuSE installation completely fail after taking over 12 hours to install. Windows XP took just over two hours to install, including obtaining all the relevant installation media. And thanks to Microsoft's licensing policies, you can't get Linux preinstalled on home machines, either. What can be done? Make Linux easier to install, and make Microsoft change their licenses.
Oh well, I guess even adcritic couldn't stay alive, no matter how much advertising they got.

Easter Eggs aren't terrorist exploits. They're usually harmless, and are basically there to make people say "neato" or something like that. Besides, the QA people are listed in the credits, too.
I never knew what it stood for when I typed it in, either. It was the noclip code in Doom, replaced by CLIP in Doom II. Both codes were prefixed with ID.
80 clickthroughs = pair of normal Eternal Life rings (was 40 when I got my first pair)
400 clickthroughs = pair of Neodymium Eternal Life rings (more efficient at erasing magnetic media, make you live forever even more than the normal ones.
I whored about 10 karma away last week so I could get some of his Neodymium magnet rings - not necessarily to live forever, but for anything you could possibly need strong magnets for.
MMHere came out of the closet to say this: Since I haven't yet found the "best" LAME command line incantation for me, I've found that I've re-crunched the WAVs->MP3s more than once. My plan is to keep all the original WAVs around until I find a set of LAME conversion options that create MP3s nearly indistiguishable [to my ears] from WAVs.
lame --r3mix works fine for me. You could also try some of the --dm-preset options for even higher-quality VBR.
They administer the download limit by the hour, so it's harder to play games like that. But for this game, I'll be using the generator at Consolidated Huge Company, thanks to JRR (who also made the AYB song).

Quite frankly, I'd rather have Cthulu be my president than Perot.

In other news, the moon landings were faked, Linux is quickly taking over the desktop, and Nintendo's GameCube has surpassed the PS2 in sales.
But would you miss your Beowulf fores for the trees?

Eternal life is just a fringe benefit.
Shit, if you've got karma to burn, why don't you sign up for Alex Chiu? (see my sig)
Back in the day, people would use far more than 20 pieces of media to back up a 60 MB disk.

They also sent up a memorial for the 911 attacks. Most importantly, this explains that oddly shaped cloud I saw at 5:30 today.
Sounds like eNetiConAppliance Online. But one of them is from IBM, and the other is from sweet merciful Lowtax, hero among men.
