what does this give you that you couldn't get by tunnelling X via XDMCP over SSH? Doing remote-display stuff is part of the fundamental design of X, after all.
I've heard that the scene with the crazy sword-spinning guy was another Ford improvisation - they had planned an elaborate sword vs. whip duel (Indy had lost his gun someplace) but Ford was too sick to film it and suggested "can't I just shoot him?".

I have the opposite perspective - I use debian all day at work, and sitting down at my GF's windows machine it feels like I'm working with one hand tied behind me.
Honestly, what the hell is better about the windows desktop experience that isn't a factor of a few apps not being ported over?
I saw a funny thing on my way to vegas recently - not quite as big a BSOD, but the same one on dozens of machines in US customs. I tried to take a picture and nearly had my camera confiscated...
great site, I'll be sending lots of links to here
around when I go back to work tomorrow...

wait for it...

What the logical results seem to miss is that in the case where they kill the senior pirate, there is some risk that one of the other pirates will be badly wounded (remembering the state of healthcare when pirates fought over gold coins). This risk increases as the total number of pirates decreases (the odds get closer).
The 4 guys getting screwed will take the risk of jumping the pirate with all the gold, since that's what pirates do, but if the top 3 get equal shares, they'll be mostly unified. If you have enough gold for some grog and a wench, it's less worth risking your life for the same amount again. If you just got enough for a shoelace, you're going to kill the bugger with the full purse.
My proposed solution (were I the top pirate of 30 would be to split the gold with the other two evenly. Ideally 4 and 5 would be killed off, for future safety.
we seem to be collectively missing the point that _some_ users will prefer the low-maintenance option of an ASP. That subset of users is the least-technical group, which can never seem to keep their systems running well, and don't even come close to using their full potential.
I'll never want to change to an ASP model and if you're reading this you probably won't either, but it'd be perfect for several members of my family. I'd even help them convert to the new system, so save myself the trouble of maintaining their PCs.
I have a bit of perspective here, having worked for an ASP-wannabe a few years ago, that died out when the bubble popped. It was too early for our product then, but in a few more years I expect to see it return...
I forsee a simple program (could even just be a perl script) that does a google search for.torrents, and eliminates those that give 404 before presenting the list. It won't find as big a list, since it'll only get long-lived seeds, but that shouldn't really be too big a hindrance...
The race is on, who'll post a reply with the code for this first?

SA 3.0 with mostly the same rule-weight changes as 2.x, and a LOT of mail to train on.
I've been religious about keeping it trained with spam/ham, which helps a lot. I have a 4500+ message spambox, which I'm happy to share for your training..
The only false response I've had in the last few months is a message my granny sent me in all caps got flagged as spam. That's why there's a whitelist feature...
I never said it was perfect, I meant that the small amount of checking I have to do is less trouble than the stuff I used to do (rotating dummy accounts etc).

Sounds like the 'net in general...
Given the state of the minority gov't, I'd be stunned if anything of substance passed, let alone something this offensive...
why bother with new cracks? it's already trivially easy to bypass windows user protection - just run the game as another user...
and the dancers don't seem to be complaining :)

My grandma contributes more to CPAN than you do.
She might say that a distro you can use has no business on her development workstation...

how exactly do you propose that they figure out the ratio of buyers to subscribers to regular players _in advance_?
that's the sticky part - servers to subscribers is far easier...
that's the guy.

Ack - there's already not enough time in my day, and now it's shorter!
As someone who uses a linux laptop at work, I care.
I think the other two probably do too...
I'm still waiting for 'man in the high castle' to be done as a movie.
not as sci-fi as other PKD, just alternate-future. Good story, tho. Could translate well into movie form, I think...

I haven't gotten .NET running under debian yet, can someone verify this so we can give Nem his prize?
