I started playing Club Drive on the Atari Jaguar (pretty crappy game-wise, but interesting enough, and it really entertains my 2 year old son). It has a Rewind feature where you can rewind the action at any point. (It also auto-rewinds to bring you back onto the road if you fall off a cliff and into the ocean, in the San Francisco world, for example.) This game was from 1994. "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" came 9 years later.
Ledin was my first prof on my first CS class on my first day of college. He's an awesome guy. We keep in touch, and I just had lunch with him the other day when he was out my way, and he invited me to speak at an SSU CS colloquium in September. Go Prof. Ledin!!!
KTEH Channel 54 FTW!:) I watched it in high school, so for me that was early 1990s. I watched through it at least twice before our cable service decided 54 wasn't worth having, probably to give us another shopping channel, or some shit.
I found a pair of random VHS copies of episodes at a video store in Davis, Calif that _just happened_ to be going out of business the next day, so swiped them up. I needs to get me the entire series on DVD, damnit. They originally promised they'd have it for the US market, but that never panned out.
Err, what you linked to says: "Statement by Paul Darrow with regard to the proposed Movie" and is from 2003. That movie never happened. This new Sky thing is a new proposal. I'm not sure how Darrow feels about it, but I'd love to hear it, since he's been keeping the B7 fire burning for _years_, bless his heart.:)
*cough* *blush* My desktop is still Orac. My home server is Stewie, but previous servers were Slave and Zen. Frankly, I'm amazed this "Seven Blokes?" stuff got mentioned on Slashdot.
Pandamonium, a cute and fun 3D jump-n-run game for PlayStation (a year or two ago I saw it on an NGage) included 2 main characters: a jester and a girl. The girl was not busty, not overtly sexy, none of that. (I think she was supposed to be 'a kid', as in probably 15-20yo range.) I actually met the two main coders of that game at a talk given to my school's comp. sci. club, and we spoke a little about the fact that she wasn't overly sexualize.
Sadly, a sequel came out and she somehow ended up with 38DD boobs and turned into a slut (from what I recall). I was quite disappointed. Not long after, Boob^H^H^H^HTomb Raider was all the rage.
Now, don't get me wrong, I like the female form (a little too much, sometimes), but after a while, these kinds of cliches in games get real tiresome.
These kiosks are for the people who are displaced... say, to the Astrodome in Houston, TX. Not for people in the middle of water, you dumbass.
From Steve's "Call For Help" in the day or two before he got things up and running:
"Many will be unable to return home for weeks or months. Free, readily-available public access to the Internet during this time can provide a crucial lifeline for them during this time."
In other words, you pack 10s of 1000s of people into a stadium, it might be nice to have more than one or two computers for them to track down family, tell people they're safe and alive, etc.
If companies are willing to offload their 'useless' Pentium IIs, this Linux+Firefox solution can instantly turn them into a usable system for this purpose.
OH MY GOD! The next page is even WORSE! There's a floating bubble of text covering part of the page, and it moves around in the opposite direction of the mouse. *smacks forehead* Where's a fork? I need to gouge my eyes out!
Holy shit is it ever! I'm on a page now that's scrolling when I move my mouse around. I'm not clicking, or controlling any widget. I apparently can't cut-n-paste any of the text, either. Why do people use Flash for Flash's sake, rather than get to their goddamned point and put some CONTENT up!?
all the people I know who use Linux do so because they want a functional Unix-like OS, not because they hate Microsoft.
I hated Windows long before I had ever heard of Linux. The minute I did learn about it ("what? Unix at home!?"), I knew that's what I was going to run once I could afford a 'real' PC.
You don't need to 'dist-upgrade', I don't think. Just keep doing "apt-get upgrade" or "aptitude upgrade", as per usual.
Now that 'testing' is unfreezed (and is now named 'etch'), you should see a mini-flood of stuff come in that was held up in 'unstable' during the freeze.
For those who are using, or want to use, Debian Stable (now 'sarge'), but want KDE 3.4 (instead of 3.3), you can get it from pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org.
For those who've been using sarge via its 'Testing' monicker, I'm guessing KDE 3.4 will hit 'etch' (the new 'Testing') in the coming weeks.
Yeah, is it nine, or is it six? I remember hearing 9 WAY back when Jedi was still newish (long before "Episode: Crap"). As much as I dislike Eps 1 and 2, I have hopes for 3, and would feel sad if we don't get 7, 8 and 9, like I always thought we would.:^)
Okay, so cool, k3b is better than NeroLinux. No big surprise there, honestly. (Not that I've used Nero on Windows, but after trying k3b on Linux, I can't imagine anything being much better or easier to use.)
But seriously... that person needs to learn to write. (I admit I'm no writer, but at least I have the sense to have someone proofread it first!)

Because _everything_ should run Tux Paint, especially if it's easy to draw on (e.g., touchscreen).
Having a day job has always interfered with Tux Paint development. :)
Snap a photo. Add some sparkles. 'nuff said. ;)

Sorry, the Atari fanboy in me is showing.
Many times I've been asked if Tux Paint can be used "on the web." Well, perhaps some day soon, it can. (Er, kinda)

"this is just about compiling C to the bytecode that the Flash player interprets"
Well hey there. Port SDL to it, and I can finally make a lot of people happy by saying "YES, you CAN run Tux Paint in a web browser." :)

If you are a writer of commercial software, or any software that isn't GPL compatible, you cannot use the Qt/KDE stack for your app.
:^P
Or, like, you can pay to license it. That seems pretty standard in the commercial software world.

By an odd coincidence, the next Linux Users' Group of Davis (August 15th, near Sacramento, California) meeting happens to be on this very topic!
