....But it's times like these, after reading about how the big software/tech companies are trying their hardest to take away all of our rights, that I thank God for truly Free Software. And I'm not trying to suck up here or anything, but it's a relief to know that no matter how bad the world of corporate software gets, I can always turn to software that doesn't try to imprison me.
Which BSD were you trying to install? FreeBSD installs perfectly for me. I can't say I've tried NetBSD recently. OpenBSD also installs for me without a problem. Now Debian on the other hand, I've never gotten a proper install!
Seriously, the FreeBSD install program is intuitive. You can have it autoconfigure your partitions for you, and it gives you the option to select many different types of default installations, or you can do a custom. And once you've got it installed, configuring your system is just a matter of editing you config files in/etc and/usr/local/etc.
I've just set one up to be my IP Masq / Firewall and it works wonderfully. I will admit there is a learning curve involved, even coming from Linux. But if you just read the man pages and check out the handbook on the FreeBSD website, you'll find that everything is straightfoward.
If you read any of the above articles before posting, you would know that there are several uses for it.
1) Use the source to find out what new features are being added into windows, this can be used by competitors to either get their products compatible before others, or add features into their product before MS adds it directly into Windows.
2) Try to sell it back to them
3) Compile a "Warez" version of Windows (haha yeah right).
Anyway, there have got to be more uses for it than this. One post above mentioned putting it on Havenco and letting the world read it:)
Steed comes out and says he's looking for a lead programmer:
Right now, I need a seasoned, experienced programmer who is willing to be my partner in Pummel.
I hope Pummel goes true, and brings us some kickass games. Getting fired from id was a wakeup call for Steed, and although he can be an asshole at times, I sincerely hope Steed succeeds.
I think I only counted about 40-50 uses of it. One problem I still see is how to make the source code for the client available, and not have cheaters in Multiplayer games? There was quite a thread on this awhile back, but I don't have a link to it (I believe it was soon after QW source was made open). Wasn't it Carmack who said that the only real solution was to have part of it binary only, and have that part authenticate? In that case it still makes the point of opening the source moot.
He says to wired: "About 400 readers weighed in over the first 30 minutes. Then we got hit by a DDOS," wrote Slashdot founder Rob Malda in email to Wired News.
...Are being stingy as hell when it comes to their Mp3 players. I've sent repeated emails asking for the protocols for the Nomad, so that I may write a program to use under Linux. I've never gotten a reply back. If you want to use your Nomad..you HAVE to use win95/98....they give you no other software for it.
Hmmmm... I can't speak for anybody else...but I've had really good luck with csoft. All of my emails are responded to quickly, and i've never had any extended downtime.
Yeah right. They didn't drop the serial number because of consumer pressure. They dropped the number because it was a complete failure. I buy stuff online alot, and never once have I seen the topic of the serial number. If companies are collecting them, they do it in secret. I have mine turned off anyway. I thought it was a stupid idea to begin with.
I just ordered my copy of Beos 5.0 today. If I find any truth to this rumor I will cry like a baby. I even bought a new hard drive just for it! I've tried the personal version, and I really like it, except for one thing: I can't stand the interface. Somebody should write a Gnome for Beos!
I believe he's implying that this lamer must be using windows...probally IE. Since you seem to insist Alt-V, you are probally running Linux. In IE copy/paste is CTRL-C/CTRL-V
50-75 fps with my tnt2 under Win98/Quake3 4 fps with my tnt2 under X/Quake3
The reason it only gives you 4 fps is probally because it's actually running in software mode. My roomate had the same problem. That's why I got a voodoo 3:)
Well it kind of is. UDP is perfect for data that must arrive immediately or else it is useless - aka audio/video/quake data. what good is part of an audio clip should have aired 10 seconds ago? NONE. With a stable connection, a lost packet here and there will not greatly affect sound/video/gaming quality.
Yes, I wish the US domain would have caught on also. It probally would have if we didn't have such asinine rules regarding them. Why would i want a name like xyz.pike.pa.us or whatever it is.

Any advise for code auditers?

I assume this is directed towards Rambus?
They'd probally spend more than 72M on the missiles themselves. Do you have any idea what a good missile costs these days?
Neither do I.

To simply put it,
You cannot logically prove something isn't possible.

I just want to play games!

How nice of Rob to tell wired, but ignore us.

I want to use BeOS just because I can.
I think OS diversity is generally a good thing, and should be encouraged through the use of open APIs.

Then I would just grab a copy that was distributed under the BSD license and have my way with it.

Dumb.
wanna take it for me?
I'm in college, and that's probally about the most intelligent post i could ever make.
From what the guy you replied to describes, that would be a zener diode.
I'm guessing it dries in their beards and washes out the next time they shower. Just a crazy thought.
