Great with the Nvidia...be sure to configure X to use the NvAGP though..native linux AGPART is slow. I'm on a Athlon 900 TBird. Game is playable, but a little slow, even with all lighting effects off and detail low. Quake3 runs fast as hell though, so I'm a bit annoyed at the hardware requirements of UT2003.
You can go to any neighborhood radio shack and get a book on doing all of your stereo building. A quick search through online book catalogues will reveal many books on the subject.
Just use a keydisk and rsync. Or make the keydisk your home directory altogether. Is this so hard? Ok, maybe difficult in windoze, but is *anything* easy in that environment?
I don't bother with full profiles, but I use rsync on a daily basis to sync my home jukebox with my libretto along with a few other things (I also keep my ssh private and public keys on the keydisk, never storing the private keys on a hard disk)..config files in a *nix environment are beautiful. Too bad most windoze proggies have no clue about multi-user environments.
I forgot to add to the q3a comment...UT (the first one) does run better under linux (Loki fixed a bunch of broken code as they ported it), and of course is more stable too.

I don't know, and I admittedly haven't messed with ut2003 under linux much, but it is MUCH MUCH slower than quake3 or RTCW on my machine (Athlon 900, GeForce 2Ti, 512MB memory). What is UT doing that is so special that it can't match the frame rate of RTCW, which should be the slower of the two due to the AI and such?
I'm running with default everything. I may get a chance to actually play with it tonight (g/f was over the night I installed, and although a geek, some things take precedence over computers;)
WTF does learning a bunch of languages have to do with becoming an engineer or [computer] scientist?
I always thought the purpose of attending college was to learn how to think, and express yourself to your peers and others. To create using the building blocks you learn. Learn a scripting language, a procedural language, and some OO stuff. That's all the computer language you need. The rest should be writing papers, creating useful designs, etc.
My biggest complaint is the way that yast operates. rather than work with the config files for a particular part of the system directly, it keeps its changes in a databases, than shits them out to the actual config files afterwards.
If you have ever made manual changes to any config, you are fscked as soon as you use yast for that 'quick change' you couldn't remember how to do with the text files...or if you have multiple machine admins, good luck.
And yast doesn't support all of the possible config options available for certain things either, so you HAVE to tweak them by hand (1152x864 resolution on the video card I use at work, for example).
My last gripe is that ridiculous mix of/etc/rc.d scripts and/etc/rc.config for configuring what gets started or not. Come on! Pick one method and use it. That mix is just confusing to anybody using that distro for the first time. Having to muck with it in two places is wrong.
It is still a problem. You now have to have a server capable of running spamassassin (not a very small machine for a company that deals with thousands of users and emails a day!). Bandwidth for your legitimate users is being stolen by the traffic caused by the stuff as well.
It's a great piece of software, I use it myself, but the fact that we can filter most stuff does not mean it is not a problem. I'd personally rather use my computer's CPU cycles for something more constructive.
Under this simple and fair scheme the death penalty would be used less on murderers, rapists etc (who, really, only cause harm to one or two people at a time) but would be used a lot on spammers (who cause a small amount of unhappiness to many millions of people).
I can't believe you are serious in the above, but in case you are, perhaps you should be brutally raped and see how your views change. I have a friend who cannot have children, and who has problems playing the violiin now because she was raped, both her arms broken, and had to have an emergency hysterectomy.
Spam, no matter how annoying, to no matter how many people, is not anywhere near the same scale as a SINGLE rape or murder.
The laws against faking your return address are good ones, IMHO. Although it should already be covered by fraud laws, but I digress.
Until everything is right in the world of Internet email again, I will just continue to use Spam Assassin I am using it on my own mailing lists and myself here at home via procmail, and we just launched it into production at work using milter on our main external SMTP servers. The nice thing is, we don't delete the stuff, we just make it easier for our users to filter it themselves. No real legal issues that way.
Roughly halfway between each ear and your nose are two organs that are extremely useful for navigating. You might want to acquaint yourself with them. Especially when combined with the rotational ability of your neck.
At which time all will be popped out of your head as you collide with that tree you didn't see b/c you had to look behind you instead of depending on your ears.
This sounds exactly like the feature that OS/2's version of netscape had with voice navigation. Basically, you could speak a link on a page, and you would go there. Very slick. Dunno how great it is with typing. I'd rather some of the more frequent nav keys be linked to single keys, which this feature basically destroys any chance of using.
Linux r00x with 3d games. I'm personally running an Athlon 900 with a GeForce 2Ti. Runs quake 3, UT, and return to castle wolfenstein beautifully at 1024x768. Of course quake 2 is very fast on this machine as well.
With enough memory (I'm running 512MB), you can even run the games on a separate X11 session so you can flip back to your 'desktop' x session to check up with IRC, Gaim, etc.
I like rsync and it works great over ssh. But there seems to be no way to run rsync as a cron job because it will hang asking for the ssh password. Keys and ssh-agent seems like the solution - until you try it and find that don't work with cron:(
Use an RSA key with no password. If you are paranoid enough to be using ssh, you should be paranoid enough to be using the strong authentication provided by using RSA Keys.
But as soon as microsoft started 'Internet enabling' their products, they had the responsibilty of thinking of security and implementing it. Stand alone computers are a bit different than those hanging on a public network offering services unknown to the casual user.

ugh. That should be < $100. Stupid HTML rendering.
You can get a GeForce 2Ti for $100. I did that at a computer show with a 64MB card. Very nice card at a low price!

Because I don't run a 'virus filter' on my web server.

Didn't Q3Atest come out for linux before windoze?

People, if you need to communicate within your company with some sort of IM, just set up an IRC server for pete's sake!!!
And now gaim! I'm so happy to have a decent AIM client in windoze now. I didn't really like what was already out there with trillian, etc.

Those machines are very expensive to maintain, from what I understand. They have to be stored in a highly-controlled environment, etc.

Too bad there isn't a 'mod_gzip' for mail. That would be something that could save bandwidth.
heh..you still use one of those? Hopefully you have a model with a real keyboard :)
