  2. Wow 8 months, big deal on Mafiaboy Gets His Wrist Slapped · · Score: 1

    So he got 8 months of detentions and he will be allowed occasional visits to family and friends during his time in detention. Besides, have you guys seen Canadian detention centers? They get treated better than ordinary people.

    I still have no idea if I should get the Xbox or the Gamecube. This is going to be one of the thoughest decisions I'll make in my life :)

  5. Re:Games and Linux, isn't that what my Windows is on Programming Linux Games · · Score: 1

    Same here, some laptop users have managed to crash their Win2k Pro machines but it's never happened to me. The worst I was able to do was having my machine freeze from time to time because of lame ATI Radeon drivers. I actually had to install Windows XP to avoid installing the ATI drivers.

    We're still running on NT4 servers and never really had problems. The only problem I can recall is a hard disk failure, that was like 5 months ago. Maybe it's the fact that we're only serving 300 users? I don't know.

  6. Re:Games and Linux, isn't that what my Windows is on Programming Linux Games · · Score: 1

    I don't do much do stop it from crashing. How come the logs show nothing? How about the blue screen? If none of those are present I can only guess that some people are attempting to hack into your servers. I also suggest that you check your harddisks for bad sectors.

    I don't think that using Mac OS X Server is a wise decision. Go ahead but don't say I didn't warn you.

  7. Re:Games and Linux, isn't that what my Windows is on Programming Linux Games · · Score: 1

    I tried NT on a network, a year ago, I didn't know much about NT at the time and I was able to build a reliable intranet server and a file server. Almost didn't have to touch either servers, except for patches and to add a HD to the file server. Two months ago I've left that company and if anything happens to the server they have to call me but so far everything is okay. I don't know how you make it crash. Besides, you know it's a server right? You're not installing Quake and stuff on it right? You could've mentioned BSD or Linux but Macs? oh please.

    I suggest you give WindowsXP a try

  9. Artists? on Programming Linux Games · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Great and everything but you need Artists to make the 3D Graphics for the game, etc. The question should be. What should the Linux OS do to attract artists?

    You must be dumb for having your Windows crash every half hour or maybe you're using an ATI video card.

    Well at least I got one right. I agree, Gates won't let that happen, he hates the government more than we all do.

    A link please. But if I'm guessing right, the government probably wants access to everything MS. They'll probably have investigators coming and going out of MS offices making sure that MS isn't violating consumer privacy and that it's doing everything right. But the real hidden reason is that the government wants to have control over MS and over the people. MS will soon be the government's puppet.

    Or maybe I'm just paranoid.

    Stop lying, MS has removed Smart Tags from the browser because of the complaints. But other companies will be jumping on the Smart Tags bandwagon really soon and using it to their own advantage, like AOL for example.

    I used to run win9x, if it's so insecure, how come I never did get infected? Besides, if you ever worked in tech support, you would know how much trouble some people have just to enter their username and password. It's crazy. Besides, now all MS OS's are going to be NT based.

    I know a lot of Linux users who always use the root account.

    everytime a Trojan comes out, people blame it on dumb users, on unsecure OS's, etc. I don't see anyone blaming the author of the Trojan.
