Awesome cover, actually. It was on the I'm Your Fan tribute album.
If you want another awesome disc of Cohen covers, check out Tower of Song, although amazon currently lists it as out of print. It contained an awesome cover of Famous Blue Raincoat by Tori Amos.
They're reviewing it from the point of view of the typical user.
I'm as pro-unix and pro-case-sensitive a guy as they come, and even I wasn't expecting that to be case sensitive. It makes absolutely no sense, unless there are cell rows called 'a' and 'A' (hint: there aren't).
The fact that this is no longer true in current Kspread builds attests to it's pointlessness.
You do realize that "returning a value indicating success" in this instance is returning a valid javascript window object, don't you?
Fine, hack it to return new Object(), then the code checks to see if it had a document property, etc. Fine, hack it to include a document property. The code checks to see if it's a real document object, or just another new Object(). Add a document object. Then the code is going to check the existence of javascript objects generated by code that's on the popup's page. Fine, then - interpret the page, but don't render it. Then they check for things like window stacking order, and UI events. Fine then, they require interaction with the popup to get into the site...
And they win (assuming your goal is to get into the site without popups).
Cognitoy makes an excellent (and engrossing) game called Mindrover, in which you have to design and program a vehicular robot to do certain things (follow waypoints, chase another robot, or destroy the opposing robot).
I don't know if a vehicle-on-vehicle rocket launcher qualifies as 'violence' or not (since these are very clearly toy robots going at it), but it's certainly an awesome game, even apart from it's educational value.
Loki has also ported it to Linux, and thier port is flawless.
For anyone who picked up Loki's port of Mindrover, they have something very cool on thier site.
This is a set of objects for Mindrover that simulate the functioning of Lego RCX components. They also have pre-built objects that represent two real-world lego cars, and all the appropriate 'wiring' to connect them.
The 'programs' that you create in Mindrover can then be downloaded to the Mindstorms, and you can then watch your Mindrover in the real world.
I think Loki might be getting around to porting it (they mentioned on thier newsgroups that they would be porting some more stuff for it - no link right now, though).
The one and only reason that counterstrike is more popular than Q3 is that it runs on lower-end hardware.
Hell, the Half-Life engine still has a functional and efficent software renderer, which Q3 doesn't.
I can run CS comfortably and effectively on a K6-200. I need at *least* twice that to run Q3, not to mention the fact that I need at least a TNT2 to run Q3 effectively.
If you don't think that that's a factor, you're very sorely mistaken.
CS is a mediocre game, but for alot of people who have never played Quake before, it's a godsend.
And it doesn't make sense to have complex vb macros in word processor documents.
Yup, and it would never make sense to write complicated elisp macros and store them in a document (you can do this, btw - the auto-execution is disabled, however).
Your opinion that scripting what is a glorified edtior is useless belies a complete lack of computing maturity.
Slashdot Mirror
It doesn't say you can only use MS products to remotely administer it.
All it says is that the machine doing the remote administration has to have a valid WinXP licence.
So you can use VNC between two XP boxes fine, but you can't use VNC from your linux box (unless it has had a valid WinXP licence purchased for it).

Why don't you expand the acronym 'US'.
You know what it expands to?
"United States". It's plural.
Dumbass.
No...

Thank you, Captain Obvious.
Do you actually have any proof of those statements, or are you just talking what you wish out of your ass?

Interesting...
Let it go. Alot of moderators seem to lack both a sense of humour, and basic intelligence.
Yeah, go check out my rant about it.
"But then I live in the real world..."
Ba ha ha ha ha.
You're posting an ancient Randian argument on a washed up weblog, and you want to brag about living in the "Real World"?
Next thing you know, you're going to start blaming people for crossposting...

Quake2/valve
For the last time, Valve uses a (very) heavily modified Quake 1 engine, not the Quake 2 engine.
People only think that because it came out after Quake 2.
Because the whole point of OGG was to create a patent-free audio compression format.
WTF, this was supposed to be a reply to the parent of your comment.

It's only available under Windows NT/2K and XP (apparently).

Actually, if you're at a LAN party, what's more fun is to send it to the broadcast address.
(NOTE: DO NOT DO THIS ON YOUR NETWORK AT WORK).
net send * You have recieved an 1D-I0T error. Please reboot your computer.

Since you reposted the link, I'll repost the response.
Those are fake.
They are pranks using net send.
Old technology. Old pranks. A new bunch of lusers.
(now is the time you laugh at them for being gullible).

Dude, you realize that those are so fake it's not funny?
Just someone fucking around with net send.
Try this : set your windows hostname to 'MICROSOFT', and then run net send [someonesip] We're watching you. and see how he reacts.
