    Funny as this may be, has anyone actually tried one of those arcade boxing games, where you have to duck and weave and you hold onto 'gloves' and actually punch? What a workout.

    Where can I buy one of those?

    I recommend Slackware to those same people - but mention if they want their hands held, try Mandrake. Once you get the hang of Slack, the rest are a piece of cake.

  9. SCO CD's on SCO Expands Licensing Money Chase Worldwide · · Score: 1
    I'm sorry that I ever bought a Caldera product...

    So...give 'em back!

    Here's what you'll need:
    1) scrounge up all your old Caldera CD's, manuals, etc.
    2) get some bricks (has to fit in mailbox)
    3) boxes to hold said bricks
    4) magic marker (scratch'n'sniff is good)
    5) duct tape
    6) *optional* dog shit

    Next, tape a cd to the brick (you may need to snap an edge off the cd, so be sure you have an exacto knife), box it, and write SCO's mailing address in the top left corner of the box. Sending address can be anything you want (I suggest 1 Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA...blah blah - look it up). Mail it.

    Yes, and in Temple, Texas, it is punishable by hanging to steal cattle - on the spot no less.

    The only reason she was charged was because the bar owner objected.

    The owner of the bar, Jerry Luth, told Omaha television station KETV he is extremely upset by the pictures and did not give Harrington permission to shoot the pictures at the bar.

    What's the problem here? Get permission next time. If she did have permission, we wouldn't be posting here, would we?

  18. Rambling Post: on NVIDIA Releases New Linux Drivers · · Score: 4, Insightful
    From the article, it sounds as if it's a certain card that seems to be having problems - if it doesn't work for you, well, you should have backed up your kernel before trying. I have no sympathy for people who are *going* to say 'I can't even get X to start!'.

    Another poster mentioned that someone has already built 2.6.0 .run files - that's cool, but I have no reason to change my *stable* system. Maybe next week when I'm bored.

    Reading though this thread I've seen people extole the virtues of ATI and slam Nvidia. One particular poster said (s)he loves h(er/is) 9800. The first Google I get on this card shows a price of $299.00 US. I don't know about anyone else, but I think this is a *total* waste of money. I upgraded my last video card from a TNT2 (32MB) when I couldn't install Unreal Tournament 2003. Time to upgrade. Picked up a GeForce4 MX440. $99.00 CAN. I bought this card for one reason: Nvidia had drivers for Linux - and as a recent Linux convert, let me tell you, this is good news. Cudos to Nvidia - they'll get my $$ when it's time to upgrade again, and I'll get a card that's equivalent to the 299US card for 99CAN.
