Re: DR DOS, OpenDOS, FreeDOS... on GEM released under the GPL · 1999-04-22 01:02 · Score: 1

IIRC, DR DOS (didn't that used to be called OpenDOS?) is not GPL'd. However, FreeDOS is an effort to produce a GPL'd DOS.

Cheap DVD Directory on Ghostbusters DVD Bonus Stuff · 1999-04-16 05:14 · Score: 1

I've found Movies 4 Less to be a great resource. It's not a store, but rather a listing of who currently has DVDs for the lowest price :).

Re: Everyone and Their Brother Opens a Linux Site on Everyone and Their Brother Opens a Linux Site · 1999-04-07 02:18 · Score: 1

>Everyone and Their Brother Opens a Linux Site
Not to nitpick, but "everyone" is singular, and "their" is plural... So, for plurality agreement, it should be "...his brother" or possibly "...his/her brother" :).

What if Divx Corp goes under? on Anti-DIVX article · 1999-04-01 07:19 · Score: 2

One of the biggest problems I have with Divx is: what happens if Divx Corp goes under? All Divx discs will just turn into coasters!

Cypherpunks/cypherpunks to the rescue! on Gadgets of the Geek Elite · 1999-03-26 02:19 · Score: 3

No need to register -- you can just use cypherpunks/cypherpunks as the login/password :). FWIW, this works on all NY Times articles, and many other sities as well...
PS Cmdrtaco, how about mentioning this next time you post an article from the NY Times?

Welltris? on Tetris Under Fire · 1999-02-19 00:56 · Score: 1

This is kinda off-topic, but I thought it was close enough Does anyone know where I can find a Welltris clone? I used to have it for DOS, but now I can't find it anywhere :(.
PS Though *nix versions are fine (of course), a Windoze version would also be acceptable, as I do end up there occasionally ;).
Re: Forgot it was still alpha? Yeah, me too :) on Google goes Beta · 1999-02-19 00:45 · Score: 1

>Ever since I came across google. typed in my standard "If they find these I'll be impressed" terms and it returned the right link as number 1 for three of them and as number 2 for the rest, I've been a huge fan.
Ok, I'll bite (byte? ;), what are these "benchmark" searches?
