Let me get this straight you are going to have something with the memory footprint and processing power that quake needs and add that to a window manager? Isn't Enlightenment powerful/wasteful enough?
Question about chess/players and alternate games

My question is has anyone done anything to increase the variety of chess like create more formalistic rules to things like star trek's creation of 3d chess or the like. I havn't seen too much of that out there.
As hard as it is to believe, part of the problem with the big business of that era was the fact that the government would break strikes, killing unions, and the government put up huge-ass tariffs, eliminating foreign compeitition.
Not too terribly often but when they did break strikes it was usually only in exceedingly important sectors of the ecconomy of the day (like coal) or when they were pressured by some really influential people (John D. Rockefeller had federal troops fire on a camp of striking miners and killed ~23 of them).
The entire way of life we lead as citizens is one that has been created by the government preventing shit like Standard Oil and dead rat carcasses in our meat and the like. People who tell you otherwise are usually full of it.
I will concede that tarifs were major issues but that was because of the inate need to generally precent recession and depression which had historical ways of comming on from foreign sources (research 1820's New England for example).
It's database research :)

I never have had that happen to me but then again not many people I know ever randomly approach people on the street and query them about political choices.
Ok this is the second time I have seen this the first being on subdimension on their politics forum about who will vote for whom.
People who don't vote *may* have this kind of reasoning about how they should act but that is like comparing prisoneers being in jail because they wanted to act like Henry David Thoreau and defy an unjust government. Simply put most people don't vote because they might have to leave their couch and stop watching "The $treet" or drink beer and get stoned.
Face facts people like Nader are far too extreme for the majority of Americans and really don't have any moderate views. People who want to get rid of government really should look at what laize-faire type tactics got us in the years 1880-1920 or so and then tell me that less government is a good thing.
If anyone can tell me why all the BS that companies and the like did to America and the absolutely bad social problems that resulted were good for the average Joe and his family I'll give you a cookie (choclate chip).
Nanites and their ability to revolutionize the world has yet to be seen. Reprogramming them would probably be a pain and the speed with which they could do anything would also be limited as well by extreme cost.
Also add to it the complete overzealous nature of the way the tech world thinks the world will come to the end via nanites will most likely prevent the average person from having any nanities at any price. This would prevent the near utopia level of living that some of these people think would happen if wide spread use of nanites would happen.
Is there a way to install this thing that dosn't involve burning my own CD or using a windows only installer? Is there a way to get just the basic essentials onto a hard disk partition and not have to install everything. I think this would be a very good thing it they bothered to do these things.
My question is why people have to prevent idiots from being a butterfingers and censor other's domains? I feel that if anyone is foolish enough to type in a fake address then they should actually look carefully about the matter at hand and not balme others about their inability to type something serious.
Somehow I doubt one lone developer who just so happens to be a renouned invididual for posting the equivelent of "first post!" to slashdot stories could develop a method of increasing graphics quality/speed by a factor of 200%.
sorry for screaming but it has to be said, but after all we are having a discussion on the DARE program and it's use of power and the like so I guess I can add my opinion Do i really think that any of these worthelss parties have a ghost of a change of making American into their vision? No! Why is that? Well ever since we had situations like that which was in the United States in the 19th century where men were able to almost rule the government and get whatever they wanted from the people without the government interveining at all and many people had much suffering. These candiates are using stupid feel good issues that many hippies like to believe. People think that drugs are cool and will make them supermen without any problem at all. Drugs will never totally be legalized, these candiates will never win and on top of that there is no chance that anything will change in a ladical manner and that is what is good about life. Not having to accomodiate radical views which make life uncomfortable and which many people are lead in a hysterical, drug induced manner and feel that their castles in the sky will suddently appear along with Atlantis and such.
Sure guns are all bad and we should never hurt anyone right? Yeah well how many times has a group convinced that peace would solve problems ever prevailed over aggressors when they were determined enough? Never in any substantial sense. What marajuana does is deceive you that good times are had in a inatimate object and not within the capacity of your own mind. It makes you think that your mind is something you can move out of and take in your suitcase somewhere and be seperate from. Living in a fantasy is perhaps the most damaging idea of all. Until you can recreate any reality that the drug can inside your skull anytime you want you are lost and never will find your way home.
Firstly I really dislike the idea that government is a bad thing. Before the government people really had shitty lives. Check out life under the articles of confederation and see what happens when you basically have an ineffective government. The price we pay for having a good life is good enough for me. Without the government Microsoft would be screwing people left and right, we would be buying our gass from Standard Oil and probably our powre system too. All the progress in environmental legislation (which I don't really personally care for extensively but other people do) wouldn't be there. Germany would have mopped the floor with us in what would have been a nice little war and we would be speaking German on this forum. Secondly the use of drugs was a big social problem in America before laws were passed making them harder and harder to reliably get. Say what you will but since I havn't heard a peep about where anyone could reliably get drugs anywhere in America I would hazard a guess that most people wouldn't risk it (well except the coding commandos who are above the law on slashdot). Stings are common and people constantly are getting arrested. Kind of like the purges of the Stallinist era or senator Joseph McCarthy and his trials. Thirdly there is not ever and I mean *EVER* going to be a return to a laize-fair government that prevents people from being involved in social affairs. I must reiterate this extensively. THe government is founded on the desires of people from all areas and not the little enterprising folks who have everything handed to them on a silver platter and who have the seemingly endless ability to fully think of themselves as experts for humanity. People are always not going to like wehat they see and as consequence of this will always find people and pay them to do their bidding. Drugs are not different. Obviously someone got tired of people having shitty lives getting stoned and eventually wasting away on drugs so that they were outlawed. Many, many people died before us in our limited lives and they made mistakes. It even seems that some of these people couldn't do anything to stop that degredation and died anyway. If the United States ever elects a complete *ASS* like Nader or McRenolds or Browne I will personally join some nation like China and wait for the right time to attack with them because nations who let themselves spend all their time freeing their citizens from any cares in the world usually fall flat in terms of power (most of Western Europe has this problem and at the rise of another Hitler most of Europe will fall probably withoug much of a fight if the US dosn't get involved). What is the point of this? Well to explain away some of the ideas on your post. To get back to the problems of my subject line there is a destinct difference between cigs/alchol and pot. Pot has psychoactive elements which are *EXPONENTIALLY* more fierce than anything outside of things like vallium of prozac. These have been documented before by the men/women who came before us and who died before we were born. They knew the score and tried to pass it down to future generations. But people being mortal usually don't bother to remember more than 10 years (or less) in the past and generally don't care. Obviously the entire case against drugs isn't totally a media generated cabal created by men in smoke filled rooms because you can't influence everyone to be fooled by something so completely even if it's expertely presented. Slashdot must be full of a bunch of people who are extremely drug resistant that is obviously blatant. I guess you guys must have a really high LD 50 level for your genetic set than most people. Why don't get get some addicts to but to rest some of the little facts of the drug culture. I don't think people who had their lives trashed by human defense reactions to drugs would be too happy with some of these postings. But then again history is written by the victors and so I guess you can't talk to that dead guy who died off crack or the guy who ruined his life and lost his job and his ability to be productivew over pot no do you?
The web site is absolutely useless like anything on the internet without human interaction. That's the whole principle. Rob Malda would be some obscure coder out there with a "really cool idea" had it not been for his web site. I would also hazard to guess that his page has been one of the best means by which mySQL has field tested it's product in more and more environments than ever before and consequently added a new bargening chip for web hosting on the net (hit getting a good mySQL database in any cheap manner isn't easy and I have looked spending the equivelent on web hosting as I would for DSL service isn't that tempting). So you should refine your statement to say that posters who try to collectively be good at everything end up being good at nothing.

Let me get this straight you are going to have something with the memory footprint and processing power that quake needs and add that to a window manager? Isn't Enlightenment powerful/wasteful enough?
You are the first person not to flame me for asking a question I thank you heartily
3d sounds nice but having a window manager need a massive 3d accelerator isn't something I rally go for.
Or do you get out your cable splicer and create a new one?
see subject
My question is has anyone done anything to increase the variety of chess like create more formalistic rules to things like star trek's creation of 3d chess or the like. I havn't seen too much of that out there.
I mean unless they get massive concussions they should be fine. What does this accomplish?
Check out the work of the debian project on this it does indeed boot and you can't logically deny that.

right on and of course the practice is much older with various slave traders usually moving their charges on foot and prisoneers of war.

Does voltage cause heat anyway? Isn't that current? If so, it should all be fine, because the currents should be low anyway at that kind of scale.
I believe that resistance causes heat that basically occurs because of the electrical equivelent of friction.
a small install with just the needed files somehow repackages maybe like a tar archive.
Is there a way to install this thing that dosn't involve burning my own CD or using a windows only installer? Is there a way to get just the basic essentials onto a hard disk partition and not have to install everything. I think this would be a very good thing it they bothered to do these things.

Hmmm well it seems that these "gookgames" are outselling every PC title by at least a factor or 2 to 1 last time I checked.
This really smells of a noncrafty lie.
Somehow I doubt one lone developer who just so happens to be a renouned invididual for posting the equivelent of "first post!" to slashdot stories could develop a method of increasing graphics quality/speed by a factor of 200%.
In short more facts are needed.

Particular groups of religious people who don't use drugs and strongly discourage their use are mormons and others.
