You sure that's it? What I've seen on the forums regarding the multiplayer was a message saying that NWN+HotU/NWN+SoU+HotU can't be played with NWN and NWN+SoU users until the 1.60 patch is out. Maybe I misread, though.
The expansion CD does not have a native Linux installer yet, and the binaries necessary to play this game on Linux haven't been released yet. Their ETA is "early next week", when they release the 1.60 patch for Windows users to get the games in sync. So if you're going to rush out and buy this expansion, don't expect to be able to play it immediately, as it will not work just yet.
Yeah, I really can't understand the obsession with camera phones. I recently decided to purchase a cell phone, and pretty much *every* decent phone AT&T had included a camera, which definitely added extra bulk. I ended up purchasing a Nokia 3650 (it has Bluetooth), and not once have I used the built-in camera. There's just no point to it. Cameras and cell phones should be kept separate.
T-Mobile, however, does have the right idea with their Sidekick phone. The Sidekick by default does not include a camera, however, the 10-20 people who actually want a camera in their phone can purchase the separately sold camera attachment for the Sidekick.
Personally, I'm paying a hefty premium for an ISP that does not block ports (Speakeasy), and I would not want them to start blocking the ports. In fact, when people requested that port 135 will be blocked, a high-level representative from the ISP presented the following argument against blocking (reposted from USENET, group speak.easy):
"Not only is it against our policy and core services, the overhead involved with maintaining such a block is not feasible for us to support. Blocking ports isn't a final solution, either.

If you have USENET access, you'll be able to find quite a few people willing to burn you an entire set of ROMs for a nominal fee to cover the materials and the postage. Look around alt.games.mame, and check for threads beginning with "[BURN]".
I'm not sure that I understand what you mean. There already is an port of Open Office to the Mac. It runs on X11 in Mac OS X, and is available directly from the website. Do you mean a native Aqua port?

I think they should continue with the marketing, I really like those cases. They're much better than the snapper-style crap cases WB sells with their DVDs (Matrix, Animatrix). I do hate peeling off that big-ass sticker AOL puts on the back of their DVD cases, though.:(
Yes, I think that was the most pointless scene in the movie, and from what I've read on various news sites since the release, a lot of people share the same opinion.
It's not about the availability of fonts, in my opinion. It's about the ease of installation and management of fonts, which is quite painful if you are dealing with hundreds to thousands of fonts at some point.
I've yet to find an easy way to activate or deactivate fontsets on the fly, I've yet to manage to get X to recurse through the subdirectories in font paths, without having to add every subdirectory to XF86Config individually. That's what is bad about font support in Linux.
Something like Font Reserve for X would be quite awesome.
That's because not all versions of Massive Attack's 100th Window were released on copy protected CDs. If I remember correctly, the US release of this album was not copy protected.
I picked this album up on release date at Coconuts in New Jersey, and my copy wasn't copy protected.
While I doubt that there's ever a chance of a 1930s GTA happening, you might find a game called Mafia to your liking. In that game, you assume the role of a gangster, working for the mob in the 1930s. You drive cars and shoot people.:)
Stop wondering. First off, Speakeasy ships their modems with telnet and FTP disabled, so there's no way to access it whether from the outside or the inside of your network. Second off, if someone does manage to get into your modem, it's going to be useless to them as Speakeasy does not use PPPoE, therefore they do not store any kind of user info in the modem.
For Sprint, this is a much bigger issue, as Sprint does store the user's e-mail address/password combo in the modem.
I'm sure you got the card to upgrade you from a P3 to a P4 card. My guess is that you have an older series 1 DirecTV/TiVo unit still using a P3 card, and they decided to upgrade you. I too recently got a new card in the mail, due to the fact that my standard Hughes receiver was using a P3.
However, I also got a series 2 Hughes HDVR2 DirecTV/TiVo receiver for my birthday, and that one came with a P4 card.
As for G. W., I doubt that he's going to get voted in during the 2004 elections, since it's doubtless by now that he's going to have half the country nuked by screwing with Iraq.
And now, for the story... this man has been using the Terrorist Protection trademark to invade our privacy, step on our constitutional rights. And he still didn't catch bin Laden.
I'm actually looking into getting a Cube case, myself. I want to fit it with a Mini-ITX motherboard and use it as a Linux gateway/firewall. It'll be neat, I tell you. NEAT!
Ironically enough, I saw a Start button at my local Burlington Coat Factory store yesterday. The software they were running for the cash register wasn't running full-screen, so I managed to get a glimpse of the desktop.
It was very limited, there was just the taskbar, the cash register application and they didn't even have a single icon on the desktop.
I guess they didn't finish their Linux roll-out yet.
I have a 1500/384 RADSL account from Speakeasy, and my download speed is the max of 160k/s. I think it's pretty good, considering TCP overhead.
Also, if you were to pay for 384, the download speeds you'd get would be 40k/s. I know this because I used to have a 384k SDSL account from Speakeasy, before switching to RADSL.:)
Slashdot Mirror
There are 3 that are fairly well-known
1. Neuros, though I'm wondering how commited they are to their player. Ogg support is still in beta.
2. iRiver iHP-120, which I personally think is the best. 20Gb hard drive, built-in mic, ogg playing, et cetera. Great player.
3. Rio Karma. It has a bit less features than the iRiver, but it seems pretty nice overall.

Just out of curiousity, how long did it take you to write all that? :)

The three Speakeasy ZyXEL's I dealt with required a manual reset before I could access the telnet/FTP interface.

I'm sorry, but you mention StarOffice 5.2. Sony is using StarOffice 6.0, which is as recent as Open Office, and uses the same base set of features.
And don't forget Michael Jackson!
This is great! And remember, everyone, if you are getting your ass kicked by Galeon, I just might be doing the ass-kicking.
