Maybe I'm just disillusioned, but I have more fun playing with people I know and trust then strangers. Strangers cheat.
You're not the only one. I'm a pretty nifty UT player, and I *often* get accused of cheating cuz I can run up the walls with the teleporter (and other stunts). You try to calm people down by saying you're not cheating, but the next thing you know, they're sending you tons of ICMP's down your pipe, increasing your latency.
Screw it. I only play with friends now. If ASUS comes out with cheat drivers, all the better, maybe us good players will have a bit of competition!
The gravey train has rolled in, stayed around for a couple of years... and now its departing at an alarming rate.
I don't think Linux was just hype, since the userbase is still increasing at a high pace. We only got a sudden rush of interest from all kinds of companies with all kinds of ideas. Sure, those ideas are dying down... It's the novelty effect. Linux is not "new" anymore. It's the survival of the fittest.
I fail to see where Caldera becomes relevant in this story. Rather than worry about licensing flamewars, they should spend more ressources working on their product and promoting it a bit better. OpenLinux rocks, but no one ever hears about it.
In order to remain (become?) profitable, RedHat must focus on the most popular, and money-generating platform: the x86. Granted, it's not the best chip out there, but everyone has one.
I just can't afford, and cannot justify using Sun hardware when x86 machines will do the trick!
Makes sense. Why not reuse? People seem to be making remarkable efforts with domestic recycling and waste management, it only makes sense that governments do the same -- and it will cost taxpayers less money in the process!
It's no joke... It's true that video games influence human behavior. Next we'll read that Carmack was caught yelling "Quad Damage" at K-MART while shopping.
It will all come down to the best programmer, the one that wrote the best algorithms and the most efficient code. Poor human... Does he even stand a chance?

Judge not, let thee be judged thyself.

This guy is clearly nuts.
.sig will work... We all know about the goatse.cx link, so please don't waste our bandwidth!
YOU are clearly nuts if you think that WIN
I don't know of many, but Caldera is a driving force behind Linux - NetWare connectivity... if you need that at all...

I doubt that management would want an IS running on machines I bought off Ebay...
hehe I agree... I have no idea where he was going with that one, considering both cars can run on the same gas...
Is SPARC an acronym for something or is it just a catchy name?
Anyone know?
As far as I'm concerned, that's exactly what Sparc's are used for... Solaris.
Cheers!

At first glance, I read:
Ultrafast Underwear Weapons
At I wondered what that had to do with geeks... as if anyone would attack a geek's underwear.
The package looks quite complete. I wonder how much they sell it for.
It's pretty hard to beat MySQL, Sendmail, pop3d and inn when it comes to price, and often when it comes to performance also.
I only hope the big companies start making some serious money on server (and desktop) apps for Linux. Maybe then we'll see many more.

There will be major IT staff layoffs! We won't need paper anymore! By the year 2000 we'll only work 2 days a week! We'll do our groceries from home!
Oh, wait...

Since when is FreeBSD an SMP-capable platform? Have I been living under a rock?
The article states NetBSD/Alpha, not NetBSD/x86...
Your MP Athlon will be nice, but it won't be useful for NetBSD =)
amdsource.com have an article in their news section that talks about dual Athlon MoBo's being beta-tested.
Looks like they're coming soon to a puter shop near you!
The ./ post mentions kernel >= 2.4.2 and XFree >= 4.02... Ever seen the >= symbol? It means "greater than or equal to".
So there is no mistake in the original post.
And they intercepted the first extra-solar communication, in a language still unclear to humans:
f1rs7 p05t!
Scientists are struggling to figure it out.
once the shoe shine boys and taxicab drivers start talking about stocks, its time to get out

Nice, I never thought of it that way
By definition, is SETI (and distributed.net) considered to be P2P? I would have thought of it as distributed computing; then again, so is P2P...
P2P is a revolution in the making, and tradition businesses are trying to crush it... It's as simple as that.
It will succeed, however, simply because it's gained enough momentum that it cannot be stopped. And because it cannot be controlled.
