When I installed the T2 server for Linux, for example, it had exactly what you're talking about.
Unpacked, ran the install script, it popped up a nice GTK dialog box that walked me through the install.
As for 3D stuff: Yes, DRI currently is a pain for a new user. I suspect that most prepackaged kernels will include agpgart and the various DRM modules, and setup on the X side isn't that hard; I know Debian's deXter does DRI setup automagickally.
Genesis as a novel? I remember reading a novella called that in one of Dozois's Year's Best Science Fiction collections; set in a far-far-far future Earth with main character Christian Brannock, right?
If it's a novel now, I should get that...
YHBT. This is a variation on the same 'foo is dying' framework that's been going around/. for months. Look for any kind of post matching 'BSD is dying' and compare it to this...same thing.
He killed himself after the War Department decided to use his "invention" (which he called 'graphitics') for piloted missiles whose crews would be on suicide missions, of course.
I've always -loved- co-op multiplayer games. Just as an example, System Shock 2, while incredibly fun in singleplayer, takes on an entire new dimension in cooperative play...with multiple players, you can each specialize in one area instead of having to be a little of everything as in SP.
Fwah.
Turn-based pen-and-paper RPGs are as fun as they've always been.
And have the advantage that you see your friends in real life, and can throw popcorn at the DM when you encounter a beholder.:)
I'm feeling somewhat disgruntled towards VA right now myself.
This summer, being in San Jose anyway and being a stockholder in the company, I wrangled a tour of the corporate HQ there. It was neat...a lot of really nice guys, and father and I (disclaimer: I'm 16) talked to Larry Augustin himself, who broached the possibility of my getting to intern at VA's NYC office (I'm from NJ) this summer.
At LWCE in February, we again talked to Larry, and to some really nice guys from the NY and MA offices, who said that it was a virtual certainty that I'd get the internship, AND that I'd get paid.
About a month ago, new terms: no pay, but internship will work.
Three weeks ago: my contact's boss is blocking the internship
Two weeks ago: my contact says that that hurdle is over
One week ago: Contact says that the head of HR and his pet lawyer are blocking the internship because - get this - they don't have ANY forms or procedures for internships. Which is bullshit, because one of my friends's friends interned there last year.
Now: Still unchanged. I certainly didn't get the 'sure thing' internship, for incredibly petty-seeming reasons. My contact is considering resigning over this debacle, and I can't blame him. It's absolutely absurd that a company so publically committed to OSS ideology would be so petty and closed-minded in its internal procedures...

Hey, wow, finally someone else who uses NetCaptor!
What's also cool is that they have a version that's going to use Gecko in the works, too...
Uh, I don't seem to remember a character named Saavedro...
there *was* a third ending, you know...
nmake isn't an especially good make utility. it lacks a lot of the niceties of GNU or BSD make, and isn't quite as flexible.
Yes.
It's not just a Lucent/Orinoco PC card in a fancy enclosure, it's powered by a 486 clone. :)

@Home is indeed apparantly getting hit hard.

Mmm...should be looking for lithium flares, then. :)

The point is that 144 is a perfect square and that the square root of 144 is 12.
And 2**10 is 1024.

(Yes, it's the same as in OS X. I just happen to like it.)
Squeek!
Was aware of that, just that UDF is more widely used.
Yeah, if they have physical access to your home and box anyway, passwords aren't really going to stop anyone.
UDF filesystem.
Four words: (D)DoS by ping flood.
Indeed, although that was just using the forward motion of the foot to move water. This generates electricity.

Hey, it was already lost. I'm interviewing at another place in NYC tomorrow anyway, and this seemed like a good place to vent.

Thin?
Titan's atmosphere is certainly not thin. It essentially consists of both short-chain and long-chain hydrocarbons - rather dense air!
