His point still remains: This has nothing to do with the web. Perl has very little to do with it in all reality. It's just a powerful tool used in CGI a lot.
And you did prove, just now, you are exactly what he (or she I guess... Doubtful though) said you are.
Another thing being overlooked is, if you don't distribute your changes outside of your company, you never have to let anyone else see the source, since you're NOT, repeat NOT releasing it to the public.
Now, if you're SELLING the embedded systems, you gotta distribute the changes to GPLed programs, but the stuff you write yourself, as long as it doesn't derive from the source of any GPLed program, can stay closed source...
I think it's about as non-restrictive as it gets without being public domain.
It means if you run HPUX and their C compiler, and have a problem with their version of the GNU debugger, they'll support it, instead of saying "It's not supported."
Hey, I have a 32 node license for Falken, and could set up whatever I want. 64k upstream bandwidth.. Need 128+ people on at once to make the illusion complete..
I used Simplesuck for a few things. Slower than shit 90% of the time, they have to analize the source to any CGIs you want to run, at $75 an hour, they'll reserve the right to yank your ass if you go over "reasonable" bandwidth ammounts (I personally know a guy who got the plug pulled because he hit 3 gigs a week), and like you said, use NT.
Rob colocates, his server is sitting on a T3 and his images are on a seperate (geographically seperate) server, over at www.wolfe.net. He probably pays through the nose, and ads barely cover it from what I understand ("Hand Sandwich" (Bologna on hand for lack of bread), anyone?)
I agree that the graphics on the top portion of the main body of the site need to go (the icons), since they're holding things back, but the ads absolutley must stay if this site is to last very long.
Personally I click on ads whenever I can, and actually browse through the resultant site. But there needs to be more ads in rotation, otherwise half my clicks are "not unique" (static IP).
You probably wouldn't like the Final Fantasy series... It's basically a movie with interactions that semi determine the order (not course) of events. That's the only thing I don't like about these games... You basically have no say in how things happen. But I guess it'd be quite difficult to write a game with so many endings and such.. Especially a game as emmense as Final Fantasy 7 or 8...
If you follow the links around the posted story, somewhere there's a link that takes you to a site that has links to a FF8 mpeg... Looks like it may be the opening CG movie. Tells a very small tidbit about the story.
You'd probably end up falling asleep if put in front of FF8, unless you appreciate a great, long story (eg 100+ hours depending on how fast you go through things. At least 40).
As for the popularity and "hype", it's because this type of game is so rarely done well. Many think the series sucks, but obviously many disagree (myself included). As the person above this post says, appreciation of Console RPGs is aquired (I started in on Dragon Warrior, when Nintendo Power was giving it away free with a subscription. I'm only 17, so this is ancient to me...).
Being a FPShooter player, you probably won't like the RPGames very much... The combat tends to be only a distraction to keep the game from becoming an interactive movie.
Slashdot Mirror
Slackware 3.6 includes glibc2, but nothing is compiled against it yet.
AMD K7's will be using the same SMP protocol as Alphas from what I understand...
/me points to the 3rd link from the top on the left hand side of the page, reading "code"
Shit...
Why RedHat? WHY? WHY!?!?
Damnit, damnit, Sonofabitch.
Ack.. www.slashdot.org is slashdotting www.slashdot.org's new slashdot server.
I'd guess it's transfering at 5, 6 bytes per second tops.
But it works.
Heh.. An admitted troll..
Well, at least they're easy to spot.
Linux 2.2.0 Kernel
The latest Linux kernel is now available for download from ZDNet's Software Library.

I've never played a QFG game before 5, but found the demo way too easy. Run around and kill things.
Isn't that what Diablo is for?
1) MSNBC posting a ZDNet article that
2) We've seen 3 times now (although it IS a good article), which
3) is very good for Linux.
Damn it people... If the PLANE doesn't crash...

Joel made the show... You have GOT to see the first seasons of it.. HILARIOUS...
Well the Dominoes ads, you ask the post office to stop delivery of junk mail and they have to stop it. I guess.

Try a few of the Worldgroup BBSes out there.. It's a new version of LORD, optomized for multiplayer (has a chat module and stuff)...

Yep, AMD chips, Cyrix chips, and IDT chips (Winchips) are all x86 chips.
I'd just like to point out that the vast majority of the technology in use today was created in United States-based universities.
Definatley easier. I just hit enter and walk away when installing Slackware... (Walk away for a VERY long time on the 486 I just got done with...)
I'd personally wager $10 on 10%, given the proximity to cities such as New York.
Both sites are fine on my end.
