yep, it does.. i've been playing it for 1/2 an hour in wine.. except the sound is a bit screwed - it might be possible to fix that with --winver nt or win98..
for your informatrion, the LINUX version of the multiplayer test is currently in the THINKING ABOUT IT stage.. but the porter at ID, TTimo, has said to "hopefully expect on in a few days".. with the dedicated server to be out TONIGHT.
here is the source.. but i've also spoken to him in person on IRC to furthur confirm that he's been raising ideas of client ports.
hey muhri, http://slashdot.org/~muhri/ - dont know what email adress u used, but whicher it was youll have to get the domain admin to grab the email for you:)
It uses strings of unix time to sort the messages in the message list by date. So after the billenium all new messages where going to the bottom..
Anyway, i've made a small fix, incase anyone wants it..
Put it in MessageList.pm line 530.
# fix for billenium, we want to be able to make sure all string that get sorted are the same length so no boo boo's happen
if (length($row[5]) == 9)
{
my $tmp = $row[5];
$row[5] = "0$tmp";
}
I recently read the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx.. Basicallt, he predicted that the workers would eventually become sick of the dictatoring rich and powerful, and would overthrow them by force.
Now, obviosuly this didnt happen. With the introduction of a descent democratic society in the world, their really wasnt any need for such a thing.
But, WHAT NOW? I dont know about you my friends, but THIS is NOT a democracy. If I was a United States Citizen, and this thing does get through, I would GET THE FUCK out of there.
Or, alternativly.. REVOLT.. If this thing does get through, dont stop with measly protest people.. GET OUT THERE AND FIGHT.. seriously, can you really live in a sociaty based on facism, one which the rich companies CONTROL the government? I KNOW I COULDNT!

What you need to do mate, is get your newspaper paper, check the classifieds for auctions.
There are tonnes of auction company's that auction off old office furniture collected by finance companies from bumbed out companies and so on..
They generally go pretty cheap, at work we got a $800 corner desk for about $100, pretty much top quality..
So check them out, youll be able to find something that suites, or maybe 5 desks:)
Squirm for Squid-cache is a fast & configurable redirector for the Squid Internet Object Cache.
Basically it redirects (possibly to a local apache server, if you want) URL requests that match reg-exp's.
So you could have it redirect to a notice saying "sorry, this website is banned" to anything but the checkin's that you have made available.
its smaller and ligher than Squidguard - but squidguard gets useful when you have MANY MANY MANY regexps to match (like 1000's) since it uses a database.
At my school they gave up on trying to censor us, there was just way to much stuff..
So, what they have now is a few simple log checkers. Basically it checks the logs for common words that are in porn urls. like "sex", "fuck", "slut", "teen", "porn", "cunt" etc.. It then tallies up the total bandwidth used by EACH USER and forward it to the sysadmin, daily.
They give each kid a porn-limit (yes, its true) - nothing official. But they understand kids will look at porn, theres no stopping them, but if its getting obsessive OR using to much bandwith (~more than 40mb a week): they get the psychologist to talk to them.. easy:-).
(this is the unofficial pollicy, but it seems to work well)
and for the record: no, i dont bother using the net at school, its only a 50K link for several hundred kids.
Optus@Home has clarified its position on piracy, saying it will not be actively monitoring customer internet traffic. Rather it will respond only to complaints lodged with Optus by copyright owners, Optus@Home chief executive Chris Chapman told Australian IT today.
But Chapman stood by his company's stance against piracy, saying he wants it to play a responsible role in copyright protection.
"It's a fair cop role - not 'cop' as in an active cop, but we're prepared to work within the co-operative framework," Mr Chapman said. "We will not walk away from copyright piracy issues if it's brought to our attention. It's a reactive but responsible role, not a proactive role."
Chapman defended Optus@Home's right to spy on customers if it needed to, saying users were making a 'happily convenient analogy' with the regulatory requirements for tapping a voice telephone service. "As long as we're acting responsibly, we have the right to respond to copyright infringement." he said.
anyone know how i could get hold of the supermount patch they use? the official supermount patch broke with 2.4.4 and hasnt worked since - im using 2.4.9.
no, they dont "Force" us to use these things.. But, as passport grows and more sites use it, it will be almost impossible not to have a passport account. If you want to use service X you will have to sign up with microsoft.
The example of msn/communites was just from personal experience. I am unable to communicate with many of my friends over the net cause I refuse to sign up to passport - sure its my choice, but in my oppinion they are abusing their monopoly with this.
It will become worse when many other merchants are using passport.
we need passport as another example of how microsoft is abusing their monopoly (Read: hotmail, msn messenger, communities, etc) - and hopefully this will help then dig their own grave!
Does anyone know whats happened to the supermount maintainer? the previous version of supermount (0.5.3) died on about kernel 2.4.3 i think it was, no ammount of emailing various people seem to have turned anything up. Anyone know if theres a supermount patch around for 2.4.7?

LAMDTEL..
sounds more like a hitech butcher or something.
where are those poor buggers supposed to get pr0n from now?
it takes 3500 volts for a human to feel a shock, but only 200 to potentially scramble a microchip.
excuse me? it depends on the current flowing and stuff.. for example, I got shocked by 240v two days ago, and i bloody well fealt it.

Searched the web for porn.
Results 1 - 10 of about 8,120,000. Search took 0.10 seconds.
*shrug*
search for 'pron' on google and you get about 8,100,000 results.
we do this at work, just check out hylafax faq's, theres a fair bit of info in there about what to do for _incomming_ faxes.
because if you go over 3gigs a month, you pay per meg.. so this could get really quite nasty.
:)
:p)
thank god i just changed to australia's other cable provider, optus
(along with all my phones/mobiles/etc... telstra is losing $100au/month from me now
i do.. he doesnt seem to :-)
i'd recommend you try updating mozilla.
:)
Mozilla has been known to be very slow, but they are making great headway in speeding it up.
If its more than say, two weeks old, upgrade it now
