I discovered the power of wikipedia last nite when I did a search for John Edwards History (always good to know a little background on your politicians) yesterday after it was announced by the Kerry camp. The Edwards page was already updated reflecting the vice presidential nomination. The information it provided I felt gave me a very clear, non-partisian view of the man and who he is.
Their FAQ is very thorough as well, and has some great resources for editing/creating pages and stubs.
I run (and pay) for both of these, and they do work well together. Transgaming wine's binary is 'winex3', soon to be winex4 more than likey, and Codeweavers Crossover's binary is just plain 'wine'.
I am using Debian unstable, and installed winex with their provided.deb and Crossover with ther install sh/rpm package.
Both wonderful projects and make my GNU/Linux use almost seamless with windows progs.
After seeing the Mothman Prophecies, I realized that Point Pleasent West Virginia was pretty close to where I was going to school last year, so I took a trip down there.
The town has a very strange feeling to it, but they're proud of their strange legacy, and are very willing to talk to you about it. The vistors center even features extensive Mothman information.
A good trip to take if you're interested in creepy urban legands, and makes for some cheap adventuring.
Here's a good site for some more info: Mothman Lives
I found a really good strategy is to go to a meta music site like All Music[allmusic.com] and put in a artist you already know you like. Then look at related artrists, influences, and who they've influenced.
I've found a lot of good stuff that I probably would have never heard of normally.
Try other types of music out that you wouldn't normally listen to. There's plenty on the what's new pages, emerging artists, etc.
A brief glance at itune's main website shows Ben Kweller, Johnny Cash, and Guster, three very respected musical talents.
And if you can't find any, don't let them go to waste, give them away.
Don't care about PINE, love PICO

PINE Releases 4.50
·
· Score: 2, Informative
I for one really don't care about Pine that much as as mail program. I love Pico, the wonderful little text editor that comes with it. Yeah I know there's the GPL nano, but I'm still pico all the way, and put it on every unix machine I use. It's nice to see that the one app I use probably more than any other is still in development.

Step 1: Burn 10 CDs
Step 2: Go to University Library where they have decent enough machines and Nvidia Cards
Step 3: Insert discs and reboot
Step 4: Spontaneous LAN party among book weary students!
I was almost on that boat with ya too yesterday. I was redoing a game server and was trying out different OSs, OpenBSD first, then Gentoo, and today I was goin to do FreeBSD 4.5, boy am I'm glad I was itching more to try Gentoo.
For about the past year or so it seems that every BSD story has something to do with ow much it sucks, dying, etc. I especially like the rampant reposting of the same comment about how "netcraft confirms it" even when the top uptime holders run BSD.
Is this just a tactic so that the BSDs don't become trendy like what happened to linux, or do people really seriously believe that BSD is that bad?
I for one love BSD, both free and open, haven't tried net yet. I love it so much in fact, when I went to San Fran last time I made sure I drove by Berkley so I could see where it was concieved.
I saw this on Penny-Arcade this morning and I had the thought to send it in.... it could have been my first front page story, and then I could have gotten chicks.
Without DOS I would have been ever lost in the command line world of Unix. Thank you DOS for helping me understand extended and expanded memory, and knowing what IRQ's and DMA's were so I could make a custom boot disk perfectly suitable for Leisure Suit Larry 3.
I'm looking at Kazaa's website at the moment and I'm not seeing anything about suspension of downloads, just a big download button and a quote from c|net. Am I missing something here?
Ha!! All this time I just thought it was our shitty shitty school network admins here at my campus and their inability to properly configure routers and firewalls!!!
Where else can I have multiple girls after me, walk into people's houses and look through their stuff with no consequences, be able to weild a sword that's twice my body mass, oh ya, and the cross-dressing is kinda nice also...
I run a small apache server with mysql and php modules on a pentium 133 with 48mb memory. Which would perform the best for a small 100mb database being used to generate dynamic pages?
That gimp guy is kinda freakin me out.... I thought that the geek stories were scary, but a many with a mask that looks like a... what exactly is "The Gimp" mascot anyway? A Mole?

Whoops, not even close to being on topic, oh well, hopefully this is interesting still.

How about terminal emulators for MS Windows?
I know of puTTY, and use it all the time while at work on my Windows machine, but that's about all I've found.
Are there any other quality win32 terminal emulators?

I misread the headline at first, I thought it was On "Balancing Beer & College...".
Which let me tell you, is a very very difficult situation to be in, probably more so than this career you speak of.
Is anyone else going to get really really blasted simply because Woody is finally released? Or am I just weird like that?
Oh well, either well, congrats to the Debian team and here's toasting to you.
I'm really shocked too, specially since I used to work for Electroflux as summer jobs in high school.

I know it's geared towards single player, but is there going to be any co-oping ability to go through the game?
This is one feature I really liked about the Doom and Doom II and I've been missing in current FPS titles.

damn damn damn
13 new episodes each of current series AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE, SEALAB 2021 and THE BRAK SHOW
There are three of my favourite shows on TV, I even grabbed some soundbits from Sealab for my Radio Show.

As LinuxBIOS currently does not provide a compatibility layer for booting other operating systems besides Linux (notably Windows)...
If OpenSource has a project like this and the comptability is never included, I don't even want to think about what MS could retaliate with...

I saw these videos like 20 times a day on MTV Italia, too bad american mtv doesn't have the same taste....
