  5. Gentoo on Worst Linux Annoyances? · · Score: 1

    I've got a stage one Gentoo install compiling on a fairly slow PC at work, so I'll tell you when I get back to it on Monday.

    btw, I'm fairly new to Linux the insides of Linux, so I'm probably way over my head, but the instructions looked very well written.

    Intellivision or Coliecocvision (sp?) I remember one of those old consoles had a controller that was kinda shaped like a tv remote. Man, now that thing was hard on the hands....

  8. Re:/. parrotting Micro$oft product announcements? on New Microsoft Mouse Scrolls Both Ways · · Score: 1

    The Claw from Ferraro Designs is even better for FPS games. It's also fun to setup for "normal" programs like WinAMP, AutoCAD & Mozilla. Vertical, horizontal and/or diagonal scroll if you want it. It even works in Linux w/some tweaking.

    That's true in mid/south Florida. Where I live in north Florida is actually 60 ft above sea level with pretty stable ground.

  23. Re:Cool... on Gates Provides Windows Crash Statistic · · Score: 1

    Hmmm...

    Internet Explorer .... Mozilla's better IMHO anyhow.

    Media Player .... WinAMP, duh.

    DirectX .... this is where is gets interesting, most game devs rely pretty heavily on DirectX. If MS starts charging game devs to distribute DirectX (so people could actually play the games they're being sold) MS could make quite a pretty penny. Or it could really give SDL a kick in the ass from people jumping ship.
