Well. I've seen various game-related programs, and they all have the samme issue; they only test _new_ games, and are not focused on how many gamers tend to stick to pretty old games, and try improving in those. This is of course not that easy for game-tv, since they won't get any commercials for old games...
I think the numbers speak for themselves: TOP NETWORK GAMES: Half-Life (probably 99,9% Counter-Strike) Battlefield 1942 Jedi Knight 2 Unreal Tournament 2003 Medal of Honor: Allied Assault Diablo II etc.. I guess StarCraft is pretty high too..
In Korea they've learned that they have to focus on this.

OpenOffice really sux. I USE open office, and I miss Word SOOO BADLY. It's not bugs that annoy me (however open office 1.1 have crashed like 99999 times allready), the most annoying are all those things that you cannot do like word can. STFU N00B coz you dont know what you are talking about. Stupid linux users thinking that vi is a good text editor.

We use nocat ( www.nocat.net ) at work. Its free, its open source, and it is highly customizeable.
I know most functions in MS word very well, and I must say that working with OpenOffice is like moving back to Word v4.0 on DOS or something. It's stupid, non-logic, and it really get on my nerves when I try to write complex documents.
However, I think I will still try to use it more, since it IS free, and that it may save my company for some bills. But currently, I would NEVER (YOU HEAR ME? NEVER!) put this software out to my workers yet. It needs many features, and a lot better logic behind the GUI.
Generally: PRO It works for writing small letters and small documents.
CONS Pasting pictures SUX. Rotating pictures SUX. Drawing SUX. Zooming SUX. The autofill words SUX.
The write to PDF is nice, but I hate PDF's as they are really lame to view at screen anyway. The reason for using PDF is that it can be read elsewhere, now we should atleast use the OpenOffice format instead, since it is even more free than Adobe Reader. Maybe the open-office team should make a OpenOffice Reader?
Thin clients belongs to 1980. The ideas are outdated. Users want all the experience they can get. They want
a) Animations at 50fps (flash etc)
b) No CPU limit
Central computer mainframes are a big mess, and they become outdated very fast, and this updating is very expensive. It's just an excuse for admins that do not know how to automate updates for his/her clients.
Look, set aside all you people's big-brother fears, I think you should learn a little more about MS DRM.
Like, if I send some sensitive information through Outlook, using DRM I can now block the reciever(s) from any action but just read the text on screen. E.g. the print-screen, any snapshot feature, the forward buttons etc are blocked. Thus my sensitive information got just a little safer, right? Focus on invention and you will see some points for DRM.
Cheats in gaming has becomed an increased problem in some on-line games.
Since WINE sports Hardware acceleration, future game hacks (e.g. a program that aims for you, and other cheats) that are developed to run and hack through WINE, might be undetectable for the Windows anti-cheat program. Thus, it might be that the Anti-Cheat will block any WINE.
I've allready seen cheats that is undetectable through WINE in Half-Life Counter-Strike, and my guess it's only a matter of time before WINE is getting blocked, unless a anti-cheat client from within Linux is written.
I would like to introduce my own method: The CCCC test method (Clicky clikcky clicka click).
1. Open the application 2. Click at an totally unexpected object 3. Fill in some text somewhere (if expected) 4. Goto 2.
I find most warnings and bugs here, as long as you have some good assert() in your code. It's best if you use the CCCC method really fast, and test for like 4 minutes every time.
oh please. java sucks. ive not found a single application programmed in java that actually scroll perfectly, and other stuff like menus and such allways irritate me. And believe me, I've tried to like it.
The way java is build, it cant match the normal windows api before the hardware is like 2x faster (my system is 2ghz). And thus one cannot expect people to use java applications yet on windows, unless one forces employees to do it.
I installed Red Hat 9 today, and I must say, after looking at these Longhorn pictures, that some desktop pictures starts looking like Red Hat Gnome default-interface.
According to Windows Update, Microsoft renamed "the MS-Blaster worm" to "The Blaster worm".
Now that is pretty lame behaviour from Microsoft, don't you think. And it really shows us why they really do not give us real input on what's going on while you boot that windows xp. They just renamed every error to "Windows is now starting up..."
Many organizations actually test patches out on non-production machines before randomly installing software that Microsoft says is OK.
This is pure stupidness, Microsoft have lately shown good testing environments, and one can be almost 99% sure that the patches do not mess up users' systems. It's been like ages since a patch caused any bluescreens.

It looks to me that both AFS and NFS are kind'a outdated. SAMBA 3 combines NTLMv2 or kerberos encrypted passwords. I like that.

There's only some bugfixes of recent patches. This means that there was updated versions of patches, but not any "new" stuff.

Anobody know how I enable that when shift-clicking on a link, it opens a new window like Internet Explorer (AND MOZILLA FIREBIRD!)?
Also, it would be nice if somebody knew how I disabled the auto-open (like zipfiles) of some files, and auto-save of some files (like exe files).

Hey,
you can block stuff like this using Group Policies (GPO's). I think you should start asking at news.microsoft.com at their group policy newsgroups.
If you have windows XP's as a member of your domain, you can easily block it using GPO.

port #2: port 21 ftp
