Please a little perspective, how many of you would condone Shapeshifters entire town held under curfew for two months where violating it means death if you are spotted. Or shooting Shapeshifter DEAD on the spot with bullets (real bullets, not rubber bullets, not water cannons - real metal bullets).
I suspect not many of you will condone this whereas many of you will ignore the situation in the middle east where soldiers shoot children. This is a little off topic I know but I thought it was ironic that this story comes after today I came across the site ptimes.com. I am not palestinian or Israeli - the strange reason is I was on holiday and the only english channel I could watch was CNN and I started paying attention to something I had previously just ignored.
Those retarded monkeys are pretty common you know, my company has tens of thousands of NT desktop computers and they dont even know how to build them. A colleague who sits next to me has his crash every other day or so and thats an just OS crashes - applications crash more under NT than they ever did even under windows 95!
Everyone who spent hundreds of hours playing BG and building up their character to have the game crash on them at exactly the same spot every time (even after reinstalls/ loading from an earlier save game)
It also played like a utter dog on my 300Mhz laptop which I could never figure out - its only 2D!!
Having said that I will look forward to getting BG2 - just try to stop me!
Yeah I've heard this before. When I complain that my windows PC at work crashes while i'm working on massive databases and programming and a guy nearby who only ever uses email and Word says "I can't understand why you say your PC crashes so often - mine is fine.".
I was amused to recently have problems connecting to my Linux (web server & net gateway) box and after some investigation decided it had become unstable (don't flame me I can't remember what made me think that).
Anyway so after 101 days uptime I rebooted it and promptly realised it was the network on my windows 2000 box that was (and still is) well and truly shagged.
I guess this will finally teach me that rebooting to fix something is best left to the realm of Microsoft operating systems.
"Tiny" logo's in the corner? Maybe they started out that way but on my 29" TV they are pretty irritating, especially since some channels now think its GREAT animating them. I was watching a Queen concert on VH1 and at one point the whole stage was dark except pyrotechnics, the bright animated logo was more eye catching than the fireworks!
What we need is something that isolates the logos and edits/blurs it out - I would pay good money for that
MODERATORS! For gods sake, you are moderating this guy up on the basis of him mis-reading the post he is replying to! The original post was actually pro command line not pro GUI!
In any case this twerp is misinformed and has obviously prefers to judge without bothering to try graphical file managers which are on the whole moving towards offering the kind of features we like - even in KDE 1 you can select files based on a matching pattern - useful. Work in progress is EFM from the enlightenment guys that adds even more CLI functionality to a graphical file manager.
Well I truly believe that people should be able to view my websites. If you want to design sites for your ego then go ahead and make them browser specific.
After looking at it in IE5 (after being snubbed in NS 4.7!) all I can say is if this kid cant achieve a layout like that without CSS then he needs to quit making web sites. Plus, what the hell is all that funky date javascript in the source?
Or at least it doesnt work. As an overclocking site pointed out fluorinert is a gel so they would have trouble pumping it. Also liquid nitrogen would freeze it SOLID making the circulation impossible. N2 on its own would be better than this idea. Not quite potato powered web servers but close..
I understand what your saying, I am sat here with lots of 2D pieces of paper on my desk (as is normally the case:-). The pieces which I have read/used more recently are closest to me, those less useful or not immediately needed are further away and one or two are pinned up as I refer to them regularly.
I think there is a lot of scope for 3D environments allthough I suspect the killer app will not be like anyone expected.
I noticed Favorites in one of the shots, it makes me cringe and think of internet explorer. Looks like they are committed to winning over brain dead people who won't understand a feature if its not named the same as the Microsoft software they currently use.

They use slashdots code ( slashcode ) which is written in perl.
Neat eh?
Hello?
OK, which moderators confused the words "insightful" and "off-topic"
