The server crash for me too. Debian stable, and fine hardware. No other programs keeps crashing on this computer. When playing with a friend of mine the other day the 1.22 server crashed after just one hour of up time. Happened only once thought through th entire night. Can't blame the connections either, as it was on 10 mbit lan.
I remember years when i hosted a cs server on linux. Cant remember it crashing once. And cs wasnt even a commercial release at that time.
Excuse me.. Once in 4 hours is sporadic? Thats unstable in my book. A crashing server really kills the mood in a RPG. You have to restart where you were 10 minutes before, if foresight enought to turn autosave on.
In live rpg I never had the house I was playing in never crashed down in my head, and if it did, and the DM survived, one could just start where one left of.
Actually I think thats a completly useless suggestion. The Linux version will be availible as a free upgrade to those who allready have the windows version. Bioware will probably use statistics on number of people who use the linux version to connect to online games to figure out wheter linux ports of clients is something they will continue to do in the future. If you just buy the game and dont play you will look like a regular windows user playing single player campaign. So, save your money, or better give them to charity.
As far as I understand IBM still makes cpus for Apple. The chip in iBook is supposed to be of IBM brand. I only found this link to back up my claims, but I originally read it somewhere else.

The copy and paste method of X11 is nice. But you don't need a three button mouse on the mac. You can copy by selecting, apple+c, and paste with apple+v. This works with all applications. On X11 I've cursed more than once after copying a link only to have the copy promptly replaced by the current link when clicking on the Mozilla link box.
I know one can select and middle click to open pages, but sometimes I'd like to edit the link before I go there.
If ctrl+c, or apple+c works with all applications I prefer that way. Of course, select and middle click is really nice in console mode with gpm, but thats not an issue with os x.
If you want three buttons, buy yourself an usb mouse.
Having Jobs listen to its users and release the eMac with a non-educational license would help too, for my home desktop.
Why bother? If you already have access there is not much stoping you from copying these programs from elsewhere. As far as I can see these program does not need to be suid root to work.
"Linus didn't even name the silly thing, the guy who ran the FTP site did!"
Linus Torvalds book "Just For Fun" say something else.
From page 84 "Privatly I called it Linux. Honest: I didn't want to ever release it under the name Linux because it was too egotistical. What was the was the name I reservered for any eventual release? Freax."
And on page 88: "And Ari Lemke, who insured that it made its way to the ftp site, hated the name Freax. He prefered the other working name I was using -Linux- and named my posting: pub/os/Linux. I admit that I didn't put up much of a fight."
When I first started to use os X last month Omniweb was my prefered browser. But after a while the crashing started to anoy me. Now this may be the fault of the pages i visit, but Mozilla handle them just fine. I use Mozilla these days as I found os x builds that works great.
One problem wiht Mozilla. It likes put bizare names on the files that I download. Omniweb does support the features of os x better. I hope Mozilla will get there one day.
Someone who only plays games and programs is never going to need a Mac.
I admit that I never play any games on my new iBook, but I do program for 10-12 hours each day. No video editing, no photoshop, just jbuilder, python terminal, mysql and slashdot. Macs are just fine for programmers thank you very much.:)
``Frankly, I think it's a piece of crap'', Linus Torvalds wrote in his book, Just for Fun, which was also in the works around that time.
When Linus Torvalds writes `Frankly, I think it's a piece of crap', he is infact refering to the mach kernel, and not os x it self. Sure, he might think that os x is crap, but he does not say so in his book. Linus Torvalds is an avid propenent of micro kernels in general, so this comes as no shock.
Apple has a no return policy on dead pixel problems with their laptops. Is dead pixels an issue with desktop flatpanels?
If so, i don't envy the feeling you end up with if your $32000 23" flatpanel ends up having a nice blue pixel just above the center that never goes dark. My iBook does, and Apple couldn't care less. Kinda ruins the mood when watching Bladrunner.
The word "fanatic" comes up an awful lot in talking about Mac users. I've actually never known anyone who would qualify as a fanatic with regard to their choice of computer, but I've certainly known some fans.
FYI the word fans is short for fanatics. And the original Amiga was released in 1985, so there is no way you could have "stuck with it" in 1984.
feel I should note, of all the vaunted Debian based commercial distributions (Stormix, Corel, Progeny) Libranet is the only one left. I do believe trustix is based on Debian. And it is a commercial distribution.
Om the other hand. If people really want Xbox or Gamecube they would wait for more units to ship wouldn't they? Playstation 2 has the advantage of being old and available. Those other to have the advantage of being new and cool.
You sell consoles at a loss, and you don't make any money on selling games. Thats funny.. I've seen lots of games only stores around. And they are all operating at a loss? I think you got should start looking for a new supplier. The one you use now is obviously ripping you of.
You can't grow plants by natural light on the moon because the two-week night would kill most plants (let alone the problems of your greenhouse heating up to boiling point during the two-week day).
I dont know much about plants but; In the northern parts of my country its Daylight 24hours a day all summer. In the winter its night for about 4 months. And im pretty sure i've seen plants up there. They even have wheatfields in the southern parts. I dont think leting out heat from the greenhouse would be that much of a problem.
He doesnt say that doom was the first 3dshooter. And if you read the whole article instead of glimpsing through the first line youd realize that its about multiplayer games, not 3dshoters.

I am patient though.
Which is when Dell introduce windows on all their pcs. That would be kinda cool.

I certainly hope so..
What are you talking about? I use 0.9.7 with that comes with the current version of Ximian. Debian potato.
1. Google runs on linux
2. FreeBSD is Open Source 3. I should not respond to trolls
feel I should note, of all the vaunted Debian based commercial distributions (Stormix, Corel, Progeny) Libranet is the only one left.
I do believe trustix is based on Debian. And it is a commercial distribution.
+1 funny
I do believe ACDSee has such a feature if you don't register it.
Om the other hand. If people really want Xbox or Gamecube they would wait for more units to ship wouldn't they? Playstation 2 has the advantage of being old and available. Those other to have the advantage of being new and cool.
insiteful indeed.
