It ran fine on OS/2. And the (illegal) port of quake I to OS/2 ran far better than it did on dos. The only reason I bought Quake was because I had a native OS/2 version, and I let Id know this.
Runs in linux fine. I've noticed that it takes more horsepower to play it. I can, for example, play about 8 Mpeg(3?) movies simultaneously on my Athlon 900 (Nvidia 2 Ti). I can only play one Mp4, adding any more causes skipping. This is using xine on an albeit old 2.4 kernel (mandrake 8.1). I haven't tried it on anything newer yet.
Indeed. I just tried to do something the other day in Word that I figured out almost immediately in OO. I find that the word way of doing things is more confusing.
True, but you have to accept and then analyze all of that. That takes bandwidth and CPU cycles. Probably not a big deal for your home server, but in a corporate environment that receives 50-100,000 messages a day, you want to reject as much crap as possible. This also stops the mail from having to be analyzed by antivirus software (again, a big deal in a corporate environment), which eats up cpu.
You can still reject most spam. I found that my spamhaus filters weren't getting called much because before that check (using mimedefang milter) I was:
making sure the helo had a . in it. (It should be a fqdn or IP address...spammers love to use a single word instead)
rejecting if they claim that their server is my server in their helo
rejecting if helo claims that their address is rfc1918 address
Those rules don't get hit much (really not at all), because I moved them below my spamhaus check. But if messages get through that check now, I'm sure that those reject rules will catch most of the cruft.
And of course spamassassin then analyzes what gets through all of that.
'cause for every other type of server known to man, you simply run a serial console and use a laptop with a terminal emulator if your networked ssh dies for some reason.
Isn't it great the problems needing a GUI just to do simple admin tasks creates?
As often as comcast's network goes down; if I had this I wouldn't be able to call about the problem. I'll stick with the local telco for phone service and cognistate for long distance, thanks.
um, my systems have nothing to do with it. A UPS here isn't going to stop Comcast's network from taking a dump with just about every weather change. This usually happens when I am trying to host a chat session or something for my cycling team...so they all think that *I'm* the one to blame. Grrrrr.
worse, of course, is comcast's ridiculous TOS regarding hosting your own mail server. I can't maintain a mailing list that sends more than 1,000 recipients a day, yet comcast is constantly pimping their ghey 'video mail' service (yeah, I'm such a threat to your pipes with a few small messages to a nonprofit compared to *that* crap).
I have the original, and it is a blast to bring to parties and such. What I thought would be a really easy addition would be a flash card reader that simply read a bunch of simple commands. Just put the commands in a standard file. You could then execute with a single button on the remote.
Better yet, have the ability to have multiple sets.
Seems like a great way to overcome the fact that the V1 robosapien can't remember anything you program into it.
The problem with school these days is that's it all about getting the papers to get a job. Period
bullshit. I have a degree in Aerospace Engineering. I've never worked directly in that field. I certainly did learn a lot of really cool stuff that I could never have learned on my own, however.
Computers were a hobby, and getting a job in the field was because of that hobby. The education certainly did help, but I definitely did not get an engineering degree to "get the papers to get a job"
In fact, I chose aero over compsci *because* I could teach myself all of the programming. I wanted a real challenge. If I wanted good grades, I certainly picked the wrong route with that decision!
If all you want out of an education is a job, then go to something like ITT and become another trained monkey. A real university is not for you.
You aren't really an engineer unless you've at least passed your EIT.

Yeah, right. My ISP caps my outbound mail to a maximum of 1000 recipients a day (which sucks, since I manage community mail lists that have > 130 members each). All while promoting "video mail", which a single one eats up far more than a hundred messages to my lists.
It's a good thing Wal-Mart is working so hard to move to RFID tags instead. Tinfoil if you don't want to pay at all, or just reprogram mayonaise as underwear or something for a fun time with your own RFID reader.
Wish I had some mod points. Spot on. Outsourcing is an opportunity to grow in your own career. I'd be happy to outsource some of the mundane crap I do on a day to day basis so that I can spend more time doing things to help the company be more efficient and reduce costs with innovative solutions.

Don't forget to shred all of your credit receipts when you balance your checkbook too.
Everything that comes in the mail with my name on it goes directly into mine, especially all of those #!@$% credit card applications

The difference being, of course, that IBM paid for it. There has yet been no justice for what Microsoft has done.
Microsoft are criminals. Nobody should be doing business with them.
well, if there were such a thing as adblock for ie, this list pretty much takes care of most ads you'd ever come across:
/.*ads?[./]/
/.*banners?[./]/
/.*spon sors?[./]/
adserv

If you use yahoo, then this one comes in handy too:

Didn't IBM have this ability several years ago? I remember seing ads in magazines that let you search for images based on their shape.

M$ has always been inferior, yet they are still on top. Hopefully it will change soon with the uprising of linux and osx.
And notice that despite that, M$ still manages to be the software that is everyware.

Ahhh. The memories of usenet's past. Before the spam/aol floods of 1994 rendered it mostly useless...
Ever hear of sarcasm/irony?
