HUH? the game I remember had me running around trying to find pieces of a phone so that I could call the space ship and get picked up. While eating chocolate for energy.
I don't remember much about holes.
not only that, there's also the fact that if crappy code is submitted it's just not included. If multiple versions are available, the best may be used, or they may all be ignored the developers sent away told by linus to try again.
Sure, for her and many others *like her*, her opinion is valid. That's not the problem.
The problem is that she is so ignorant, that she doesn't see that eliminating useful options shouldn't happen at the KDE-HEAD level, but at the distribution level. But that's ok. Just acknowledge the fact that her concern is valid even if her solution is bogus.
If you want to make a distro for people who don't use many options, go ahead without forcing those personal decisions on all of us. We don't all have to use every bit of software that comes with kde, much less with identical configurations. THAT my dear friends would be hell.
Disable those features at the distro level. This can probably be done extremely easily with the kde-kiosk framework. That's the reason we have different distro's: to meet the needs of different individuals.
Use voice recognition so you can order the drinks quickly without a clunky interface just as with a barman. Are there free software available for this?
Obviously then use text-to-voice to communicate back to people. Or just record some good wav files.
keep the drinks chilled.
make it able to shake, stir, or dispense ice as needed.
Have it double as an ogg vorbis jukebox
Put some lights on it and make it look sleek like something Apple(tm) designed.
Have sensors to tell you to refill bottles when they get low.
I could actually go on forever
That would make it an *incredible* machine. Also, someone could start a very good buisness selling these things if they had those features. Think of it, an ACTUAL way to "#3 PROFIT!!" from slashdot. Aren't I generous giving it away.
What I don't understand, is that in Germany, SCO's victims were able to get a legal injuntion forcing SCO to shut it's mouth until it shows it's evidence in a court of law.
I don't find linux game selection to be poor at ALL! I remember when we didn't even have 3d drivers.
Now we have many 3d cards supported. I play very cool games everynight:
1. quake 3
2. enemy territory
3. savage newerth
4. unreal 2003
5. quake2 ctf
6. ALL the quake3 mods some of which are totally different games:
RA3, urbanterror, truecombat, navy seals.. and on and on.
Those are all top class games, the ones i'd be playing in windows. Sure they are mostly FPS. But those are the kinds of games I like and that's why I found them. I'm sure other people play other types of games on their linux boxen.
If it's like my uni, they will be broadcasting this on the local uni tv channel. Can someone record this for us and encode it to xvid or divx and spread it online?
If it isn't on tv, can someone set up a camcorder please? I'd like to see this debate.
This has infuriated me ever since june. That's probably when I realised that sco executives were planning a pump and dump routine.
Isn't this against the law in some way? They're harming everyone who invested money in sco and the employees by steering it directly at a train wreck. Not to mention the slanderous lies they are spewing around everyday.
But the high paid executives doing this don't care. They don't give one shit. They just want to get as much money out of the stock as possible in a short period of time. They're probably issuing each other multi-million dollar unsecured loans and stock options as we speak.
What a load of thieves. If anyone deserves to go to jail it's these fuckers. If they really believed their claims had any chance of being for real they would ALL hold on to ALL of their stock, not dump it.
And you wanna know what else makes me angry? The people who are buying their stock right now. They're the ones who make this scheme work, be it out of stupidity or whatever, by making the scox price higher. Fuck them too.
Is there some good reason why IBM doesn't just improve gcc? I mean, apple uses gcc; free software users use gcc.. Gcc is a complete compiler suite.
Why didn't they just submit some patches? : )
"...the open source community must recognize"
The open source community must do this, the Free Software community must do that, Slashdot users always say this, blah blah blah..
I'm sick and tired of people trying to tell everyone what "NEEDS!!!" to be done so that morons using windows will deem our desktops worty enough of them to use.
I hate to break it to you but the 'open source community' doesn't all write software for the same reason. I'm sure most individual developers could give a rat's ass if people migrate from windows or not, as long as they are happy with their work.
We are not one person with one attitude, the strength of FREE SOFTWARE is in the collaboration of people with different motivations. Free Software is like a ratchet. People pull in all sorts of directions but the GPL makes sure *the software* keeps going in one direction -->> improving.
If we standardize, we loose our strength which lies in DIVERSITY, without which the above would loose momentum.
There is NO way to standardize, how are we going to forbid distros from adding other wms?
He's arguing we should give up the one ideal the majority of us agree upon, freedom, just to get some useless users to switch?
Who needs another diablo? or another asheron's call 2?
Cookie-cutter characters are for three year olds who can't handle RPGs.
Not to mention the visuals don't look anywhere near as impressive as star wars galaxies.
If sco starts suing linux users, they violate the GPL right? Which means that it's rights to distribute the linux kernel under the GPL dissapear (once you violate the GPL you loose your right to the permissions granted by the GPL for the program?)
So if I have this straight, once SCO starts suing linux end users they must discontinue distribution of the linux kernel, or Linus (or the FSF on his behalf) can sue them for copyright infringement.
Or is it the case that they already lost permission to distribute the linux kernel because they've started demanding fees from end users so they can be sued NOW?
Slashdot Mirror
yeah well...
We saw the movie and decided it was best to go without him.
HUH? the game I remember had me running around trying to find pieces of a phone so that I could call the space ship and get picked up. While eating chocolate for energy.
I don't remember much about holes.
I had that game and I thought it was dope. strange. I hated it sure, but I couldnt put it down.
It's too bad the admins can't then take advantage of kde's brilliantKIOSK framework. *shrugs*
not only that, there's also the fact that if crappy code is submitted it's just not included. If multiple versions are available, the best may be used, or they may all be ignored the developers sent away told by linus to try again.

*clicky* *clicky* and they give themselves 1,000,000 gold pieces to trade for some us dollars.
Why can't anyone in the U.S. do this?

That's a yogi berra statement if I ever seen one.
"I'd take issue with it, but that's probably one of the few examples of OS integration I'd accept."
I'd do this, but this is probably one of the times I won't.someone needs to make a knoppix-type version of the hurd.
Your honor, but you see, I put an 'I ANAL' in my .sig on /. so he has no right to sue me!
or maybe all the windows users would just play HL2 through their crappy windows-only steam program.

Quake2 ctf is still one of my favorite games of all time. I don't think I need say more.
