  1. Re:Tribes on Men Playing as Women · · Score: 1

    Yay Tribes! I heard that female models are lighter and thus can fly higher than the male models. Just like someone was saying about Diablo, the actual game differences can make a female character much more attractive... from a strategy perspective, a strategy perspective!!

  2. Re:You mean... on Chessbase and Christmas Puzzlers · · Score: 1

    If you make sure there is a checkbox for it in the Preferences, I don't see why any(non-troll,non-flaimbaiter)body would complain.

  3. Re:You know, many of us like to bash M$ on NSA backdoor creates security hole in Windows · · Score: 1

    Amen to that. I'll advocate Linux to Windows users because I think it is a better alternative in most cases (but not all!), but I'm no zealot. At a guess, I'd say that most of the "Linux/BSD is the best. Everything else sucks!" people are all fairly new to (less than 5 years of experience with) their oh-so-holy OS. How often do you see old-school BSD or Linux hackers flaming the shirt off of a Windows user? Never? How often do you see them flame other unix-like OS users based on which OS they have chosen to use? Never? Like I mentioned before, I like Linux (haven't tried a BSD though). It is unfortunate that the majority of the vocal Linux community has the attitude that 'Linux is better than Windows, so it must be better than everything else,' along with 'Windows users are stupid.' Like people have mentioned before, they may only have Windows boxen at work, so to send something as an MS Word document may be the only option for them. Before you blast the next person who sends you a Word document, remember that while they may be limited to specific OSs at work, at home (and in their hearts) they may be a Linux bigot just like you.

    # So how much space does that require?

    approx. 1.2GB - Like someone else said, a 2 CD set =)

    # What format is prevelant for movie downloads?

    The ones I've seen are mpegs.
