I warn then the book may be Linux Game Programming.
I have both and cannot remember which book it is, but it is the one written by a Loki employee and fucuses mainly on SDL and 2-d games (many references to Loki throughout).
I figured a lot of it was that Sid was old school in his programming style and that is why things were like that (in CivII the civilapedia.exe changes in size for example). Also all of his games feel like they use non-standard techniques (just as a layman based on look and feel).
Posts in this articl say he was quite hands off so I guess it is not his fault really, but the teams. I am not saying it is even a bad thing, I would trade portability for better AI and gameplay any day of the week (well now that I need a Win box for work anyway that is).
It used voxels and self midifying assembly language (from Programming Linux Games), the author of the BeOS port said that a large part of his going out of business was the effort required to port it, after being told it was very portable (the other factors being limited demand, and a contract that he was verbaly let out of gently, but then later sued for. Lack of demand was probably the biggest factor.).
God help us if/. posts are a key reference in a context that a mention of '06 is ambiguous in that context. I would hate my decendants to think my time was dominated by the GNAA and the Penis Bird. So actually if they miss by a century that would be great.

Funny, where I work we call them "Slave Pagers' and the high level people don't have them. In fact soem of the high-level people don't even have cell phones, they are happy to not be reachable. You must be very high-level to not need a cell-phone though.
So the higherarchy is Do what you want, people better F'ing accomodate -> Cell phone, off during meal time -> Blackberry you better F'ing accomodate.
It is not unheard of for a high-level paralegal or even a high level associate atturny to get an e-mail on their Blackberry to go get such and such wine and they better get it themself if the secretary is not in.
With the extreme modability will we be able to get classic modes of play?
for example will I be able to play Civ 1,2 or 3, and not just their rules, but their units, tech trees and civilipedia?
Will this be provided or will it (if possible) have to be user add-ons?
If they are user add-ons will the team help a serious community effort to help them get the propper algorythems for combat resolution and what not (so our precious bomber can still be killed by the phalax that walks away undamaged)?
Is it so moddable that we can get classic civ from it?
I mean Civ 1,3, or 3 but with the new graphics, better multi player and huge maps.
that is what I hope for, since it seams they are going for a shallower more assasable CIV (which will be great most of the time, but some 3-day weekends call for 60 hours of Civ). The changes sound fun, but I imagine I will want a large complex tech tree and hundreds of different units sometimes.
More offtopic. My favorite mod of all time was a Piracy mod for Civ 2 that was real elaborate with canons and ships and stuff. It was great, but only ran on the first expansion pack, I could never get it to run on fantastic worlds (Macro Error).
Really I think the dev team themself should offer classic Civ modes that exactly replicate the previous games as a proof of conept of the modding and to make people obsessed with Civ 2 happy (there are lots of them).
TeraGrid is 'a national-scale system of interconnected computers that scientists and engineers are using to solve some of their most challenging problems.
1) X11 though good on Linux is not so on OSX, negating the every (Open Source) Linux app runs on OSX (regards to good choice).
2) My understanding from/. is that NeoOffice is based on an old version of OO.o and has stability problems.
So that leaves you with Apply works (which was teh suck when I last used it but that was version 5).
PS Do you study anything? Student Office is $150.00 for 3 computer pack. I don't know the details of the EULA (not required to know anymore than the obvious) so they may use a finer definition of student, but to me downloading and looking at educational powerpoints is me using Office to study. Therefore I have the educational copy on three computers I use (I do not use it commecially though).
I think the biggest difference is one of techhnology.
If I were dishonest and found the fence whole it would be trivial to patch it up and prevent me from ever getting back in (check for foiled locks/cut bolts/open windows). In a computer if I found a real vulnerbility you would need to reformat/install to be sure you were clean on the firewall. If it was something systemic to the OS version used you would need to do so to every computer in the company. This means that even if my actions are the same and my intentions are good I can still cause a huge stir by doing nothing wrong. The timult that would be caused would be akin to someone accidently walking into a federal building with a hand gernade, the cost immence even if the outcome is more security. I personally think in the case of a bank, the IRS, a University and others with key info it is ethical to cause this reaction, but when the risk to others is quite low and you are only protecting the company it is pointless and wasteful. Unthical should not be a crime though.
As for looking/stumbling upon I see no difference. There is an abandoned house down the street from me (owned by Luthrans even). My neighbor is quite fearful that drug dealers will hang out there, she inspects the fence reqularly (fallen limbs often take parts down) she is not being unethical because the cost of a discovery is very low and in her mind people are protected. If on the otherhand it was soemthing that would instantly cost $1000's to fix (and could not be ignored) but only protected the property owner and not the community the ethics are at the very least grey (still should not be a crime, just really bad marketing stradegy).
No, they have the hurdle of compatability (an ever moving target) before they can even compete.
Product A (lets call it office) Is real nice, but expensive.
Product B (lets call it open/star office) is pretty good, but free/cheap.
Product C (lets call it santa's magic office suite, because it doesn't really exist) is better than both other products and free/cheap
If company X has all of there stuff in product A's proprietary format B and C can be irrelavent even though they are valid/better options, that is not competition for the best product, it is momentum of living on past success.
The problem is the small/medium guy needs Office compatability at a 99.5% level to work smoothly with the big guys who need it at a 100% level because of legacy apps and docs.
right now product B is around 90% compatable (can share information, but presentatin may be different), but that is not good enough in a lot of places.
The dominance in Office is used to slow adaption of Linux, by keeping a proprietary changing format. Also, MS was forced to make Office Mac if I am not mistaken, but would probably be hard pressed to stop since OSX users are in the unenviable position of having less good choices for non-MS office suites than Linux users.
Fairly true, but for example you may find in just a simple audit that the port for SMB is open.
You recomondation could be to close it and set up VPN.
Also, I would think tat probing port 80 and 21 to see whatwhat web/ftpserver was running and checking vs known vulnerbilities is in the realm of not penatrating the firewall (both are presumably for the public).
Probing other ports for version would be more of a grey area (for example SMB) because they are not implitly public. Still, doing a fingerprint on the port may not quite be the same as finding a whole in the fence, it is no different that seeing through a part of a stone wall that has a window in it.
I guess my point is that you can find big security wholes without exploiting them.
I still don't think it is ethical markiting, and was really just trying to find an analogy that put it in the same lite I felt it should be viewed in for people who really are doing things unselfishly, or for fear of what will happen when a malicious person comprimises the system.
I one time looked at a fence around a factory. I saw a huge whole in it. I then notified them (I don't want kids getting chemicals and then putting them on my car). I then notified the city when nothing was done. After a few complaints the city made them fix it.
So I: 1) looked at a public facing security measure as an attacker (vandel thief ect.) may.
2) Disclosed how such security was dilapidated and no good to owner.
3) Did the same to a third party.
I got:
1) no punishment
2) accalaids from my more civic minded neighbors
This is just an attempt at a decent anology that works.
Of course I don't expect to get a job with them. And I agree saying I found this, higher me, sounds like racketeering.
I have only been a guest, and can only say that I have left in the morning with no keys, come in in the afternoon and got another. Then that evening the one I had on my nightstand all day is no longer working, I get another at the front desk, and have no idea which of my now 4 keys will work. After a few days when I have accumulated a half dozen or so keys, I take them down and get a new one, rinse and repeat.
The locks have electricity though, so I imagine they can be communicated with somehow, I have never seen a dead battery.
Also before the magstrip cards hotels had the hard plastic with holes in it, those would change between guests too I think.

Worth noting Alpha Centauri was hell to port.

Is this one question? I think it counts as such.
Best would have been '06
the "'" makes it clear it is the end of a yeah (we an all guess the 20) and is 3 keystrokes.
Since when is a MS media campaign something "big"?
Since ilovebeees
AC had weak weak weak AI, and terile balance. At least on huge maps.

I like the blinking power button and screen a lot too.
Often innapropriatly loud too.
Especially Blackberries in my expierience. Also a friends phone from sprint.
Clearly audible at 10 ft with the TV on.
I would guess a quite custom ring tone is far less intrusive.
I take no offence, I am too lazy to spell check my posts or learn to spell so what.
/., do so with a name.
But the name was mispelled to get an AOL screen name many years ago.

No punk on the radio?!
what about Greenday, No Doubt, and Avril Lavigne?
And hardcore?
We got Korn, Linkon Park, and Limp Bizkit.
There is plenty of punk and hardcore signed by major labels, just listen.
