Sound is a VERY important role in a horror, IMHO. Just play System Shock 2 (until you meet a matron mother)... you'll see.

Yeah, but have you ever played through System Shock 2? Sure, the beginning is a bit cheesy, but it just gets freakier and freakier (especially the first time you run into a maiden mother... jesus I can still hear them walking around me...)
Now THAT was a scary game.
. In short, Lycoris seems to suffer from the general GNU/Linux situation to not be ready to power a true desktop-oriented, easy to use distribution yet
Just making another distro isn't enough to be "Linux's answer to the desktop." It'll require more products, more "wizbangs", easier installation, and general "user friendliness" on all aspects. I'd concentrate on more products, ensuring you can go seamlessly between Windows and Linux flawlessly (Word docs as a minor example), before making a distro to be the "answer."
Last time I saw something like that, is when this one dude owned a domain with a bunch of friends, then the guy that "volunteered" to do the webpage, and the site became a huge success, until the "webmaster" hijacked the site, and it hasn't existed since.
Too bad it wasn't a corporation where you can get the law on yourside (because the guy that started it all WAS a lawyer).

Heh, it wasn't in the initial summary of the slashback (and nothing in the summary interested me).
Oh well, I'm on a bad roll lately. Its just karma, I guess...
Its bold of slashdot to have an article about technology that may put them out of business. Why not go ahead and put up other articles that are just as bold?;-)
I suspect that if the exact same port had been written by someone other than Jon Katz, you would have nothing to say.
Actually, I'm usually on the same line with Katz, lately. Reading and commenting (not bashing) his stories.
But a website review, by anyone on slashdot, is unheard of. If I submitted this, would it get accepted and posted? Nope. This is a techie site, and I haven't seen a website review ever. Especially on something like thetherapist.com (maybe if it was linux.com's new website with features, but thetherapist.com??).
From the article: But is there a future for Blender anyways?
Internally, and on the public discussion forums, a lot of time has been spent on that topic. There are a lot of believers and non-believers for every topic and scenario. But in general there's a unified feeling among everyone - users, employees and shareholders - that Blender still has a warm living heart, still alive, and worth being continued.
We will come back to everyone with news on the shortest possible term. Thank you all for your understanding,
Sounds like its a heavy possiblity of being opened up.
Good news for animators, bad news for those that paid for licenses.
From the article: Replacing its antiquated file system with modern database technology...
Now, if you were going to base a file system on a DB, what would you use? An Object-Oriented DB? Where organization is key (which you want for a file system), or a Relational DB for speed (which is why they are claiming to switch)?
I'm sure they are going to make a custom system, yes, but wouldn't it have to be based on one of the two major DB designs?
For the record, I'm no DB Admin, but, as I understand it, relational is the choice of DB for almost all projects for its sheer speed, OO is only good for academic reasons to show off organization...
These will run pretty much full-fledged Java apps (based on a modified JDK 1.1 spec) and can't be compared to applets at all.
JDK1.1? ACK!
I thought I'd never have to deal with that again. With the amount of improvments to Java in the 1.2 release (speed and memory usage, especially), you'd imagine no one would ever look back.
Adults under 35 are, not surprisingly, more skilled at confronting tech problems. For example, 77 per cent of those surveyed age 18 to 34 are confident in their ability to operate their VCR, while 54 per cent of adults older than 35 said the same. Young adults are also more proficient, says the survey, when it comes to using cell phones, stereos, remote controls, microwaves and computers.
Wouldn't this suggest that the gap is narrowing?
The younger generation is adapting to the new technologies faster, meaning the gap is narrowing. Once the baby-boomers start to fad away, there will be a more tech-saavy people around.
Another point. What are we doing to help out?
Linux is always being criticized as not being user friendly. "User Friendly" is the way to narrow that gap. Make it so your grandmother can use it. I'm not criticizing linux's user friendliness, but saying its prudent to this conversation.
One last note. Don't you know that 86% of all statistics are made up?;-)
Not only this, but they are going to have a hard time finding a job.
Why not go ahead and comment on the on all the IT industry. There have been massive layoffs in the IT industry, and they aren't the only ones feeling the salary woes.
Best thing you can say is to get a job to pay the rent, and wait for the recession to subside.

Beat me to the punch.
This is old news, and if a manager is looking at lines of code produced, as opposed to general quality of the overall product, your manager is 95.
I have yet to see a manager look at "lines of code" as any type of measurement.

Suprisingly, infiltrating enemy strongholds using cigarettes and a cardboard box seldom works in real life.
On the contrary, I've never seen a news report about a person caught trying to do this (or a darwin award), so I am assuming that it must work!

Is this a review of a website (thetherapist.com)?
Being paid to submit a story about the website?
Getting more hits on the website?
Sorry for seeming rude, but you picked a website and wrote about it. Its like an 8th grade book report.
I don't see where the meat of the topic of what you are speaking is...
"'As long as we continue doing what we are doing today, we won't be subject to Federal banking laws,' said PayPal Chief Executive Peter Thiel."
I think they never meant to be a bank, but a mediator for money exchange over the internet.

I'm burning Karma for page widening!
Here it is, from Jamie's mouth!
Page widening fix won't be implemented (the fix was *GIVEN* to him!) because "its not a high priority" and "such a low amount of users use IE"!
In the past they said "send in the fix", now its "sorry, not a priority"?!?!
I can think of another company that thinks features are more important than bug fixes...
Remember, folks. In the web business you are supposed to work with all platforms, not be OS bigots....

Refreshing to see an MS news item that has no bashing in it what-so-ever. How about we keep the discussion mature, also?
These will run pretty much full-fledged Java apps (based on a modified JDK 1.1 spec) and can't be compared to applets at all.
JDK1.1? ACK!

Good points. I guess I've got a secure job until the day I decide to stop learning new tech :-)
:-)
And *GREAT* sig quote. Mark Twain came up with some good ones
Sorry. Went from singular to plural on the fly. My apologies.
Why do they stick with MS if they have security issues?
Why hasn't anyone asked this question?
We run Exchange Server, and we get hit by an Exchange Server virii
Quick solution: Don't use exchange server.
Why sit and wait for MS to comply?
It just seems odd to me.
Note: I'm not saying "Y d0nt j00 B 1337 4nd us3 L1NU><?" I'm just asking why stick with MS.
