They had USPS when I checked it. They claimed it was $7.79 for shipping (all it said was Shipping, no mention of Handling which is where people normally screw you)
I agree wholeheartedly. The original Star Wars soundtrack was such an integral part to the original trilogy. I have heard phenomenal things about this new sound track from friends who have it but I myself have resisted temptation.
Mind you, as soon as I come back from seeing it May 19th...
If the person who submitted this had bothered to check id's Quake 3 Arena web site, he'd see they already have a nice big list of mirror sites for downloading Q3Test.
Actually, it was mentioned recently in some blurb about Linus' Comdex speech that his development machine is quad cpu (I don't recall if they mentioned what cpu in particular). But, in general, your point is well taken.
OSS is just that, a _system_, an api for sound support. There are free GPL'd OSS drivers as well as the commercial OpenSound product. It's just an API.
If there had been more gun control in the first place, semi-automatic weapons wouldn't be produced.
Nonsense. Marijuana is illegal, cocaine is illegal, heroine are illegal and they are certainly getting made. Even if gun control was tighter, there will always be productive of semi-automatic weapons for the military. Even if for some reason U.S. gun companies completely stopped making them, then poeple would use more Soviet, Chinese, etc. made weapons.
1. They correctly state that Linux is Unix-like, and not truly Unix. 2. They refer to it as open source and not freeware, shareware, etc. 3. They stress the cross-platform issue (many news outlets seem to think Linux is just for Intel chips) 4. Links to how-to documention and other good resouces 5. They point to a wide variety of distributions instead of just RedHat or Caldera 6. Correct answer to the "make more like Windows" question (and a sense of humor as well)
This _does_ seem to be a reasonably well written article... amazing.
It's GPL, when it gets to a good level, RedHat will simply adopt it in their distribution (or simple grab the detection code and add it to their existing detection program).
Logitech DID used to make leftie-versions of most of their more ergonomically shaped products (such as the good old MouseMan 96), but I haven't seen a Logitech leftie version in years now...
An excellent point. However, what does the user first see of Linux? They'll never see the great maintainance if they can't get past the install.
Please no flames about "If they can't install we don't want them running Linux" since the point of this distribution is expanding Linux to more of a non-hacker audience.
This isn't a new site, been around for a while. No where near as good as The Onion, even through they clearly try to be like them. Sometimes it's reasonably funny since it's about games, but not v very often.
It wasn't until 2.0.30 that any 2.0.x kernel lasted 6 months without an update. Before that the record was 2 months. Compared to the release record of the original 2.0 kernel, we're doing pretty well.
Man, I love his stuff. Diamond Age definately get kinda goofy in the end but I didn't have much problem with how Snow Crash or Zodiac ended up.
BTW, anyone else read The Big U? Funny book... completely different than his other stuff though. I had to look it up on the net to make sure it was same Neal Stephenson.
Apparently he's kind of ashamed of it (or so I've heard) and keeps it kinda hush-hush. Of course, what do I know.
Computer languages are much like any other language. Volume and effectiveness/efficiency have almost no relation. William Gibson can pack more story into one chapter than Harold Robbins can into an entire book. If novels were held to the same standard as source code, Gibson would be a script kiddie, and Robbins a wizard.
Hehehehe... Good point. I'd like to see a report in some literary magazine - "American Authors Less Productive Writers"...

Actually I went to check out this free RH deal. It said "shipping: $7.79". That was the only charge, there was no mention of any handling charges.
I'm wondering if this could be considered fraud at all. It sure as hell doesn't cost that much to ship USPS.

This is nothing new, it's a thriving scene. For example, current VCD releases -

(Sorry, I tried to make a link and the script wouldn't accept it without mangling it)
2 good reasons -
1. It costs nothing
2. It comes out way before you can get it on video/DVD
Funny, I (by definition) am part of that militia, but I can't say I've been trained at all.

Sure it is. This is a radical codebase change here, just calling it 2.91 would be a big misconception.

Not like that's a problem for me.
Brings a whole new meaning to "someone must have been on crack when they coded this"...

I am the 0 and the 1.
(All this reminds me of NIN's "Mr. Self Destruct", heh)
Here's a Business Wire blurb story about Logitech's decision.
Also mentions USB mouse support.
Congrats to Logitech, they've always been a favorite of mine and it feels good to see them being attentive to the needs of their customers.
Of course, I never use my Wingman Warrior that's collecting dust in the corner but it's nice to know it's going to be a possibility.

Damn, where did you go to school that let you code Scheme Freshmen year?
Actually, I was going to laugh at your for using QBasic... :) But I assume you have a good reason for that.
Hell, lots of us coded BASIC at one time or another.
