Yes, Diablo II sucks. Most CRPGS(and I know Diablo * is not although it tries to market itself as it) do not stand close to PnP. I disagree about baldurs gate being a poor game; BG2 is a lot of fun(IMO of course) with a good plot and a lot of customization making it a true rpg(and the d&d license doesn't hurt..)

Review: Blow
·
· Score: 1
thanks very much for telling me all about what happens in blow, specifically what characters do, and about the daughter in the end. ass.
I am so sick of seeing morons modded up for making the same stupid 'insight'. A 2.4.3 release of the kernel is not the equivilent of a new SP for NT. a new macro(i believe it is termed macro) release is 95% of the time simply to add some more drivers. it does not fix major bugs such as SPs do. NT needs the updates, while Linux has them available for user satisfaction, but they are not needed for most users. To summarize, a release of a kernel adding a couple new drivers and adding ~1mb of code over the last revision is not nearly the same as having service packs which can be over 100mb(Microsoft Visual C++ SP4 > 100mb).
the daily show sucks imo. it is simply the same humor bits recycled show after show, and none of it is original for anyone who has watched it for any length of time. seeing for the 100th time someone foreign be 'translated' with a stupid voice and the 'translator' says something which is nowhere near what the speaker actually said is one of the bits the daily show does. seeing jon stewart pause for a second after every other joke gets tiring. the daily show is good if you have a poor memory and a mental retardation.
who needs windows games when you have nethack? have YOU ever beaten it? nethack is the best game ever

NSA will not save money from microsoft, they have always developed their own operating systems . Do you think they want a Blue Screen of Death while cracking encryption between russia and cuba? Also, the NSA is a government ran agency, not a corporation. Is the Department of Defense going to start selling 'Official DoD shotguns'? Neither points are relevant.
from XF4.0.3 release notes Support for building on OpenBSD-current, and multi-thread support for OpenBSD are provided.
Some Alpha platform updates are included. Support for GNU Hurd is updated. if you've been having problems compiling XF4 on minority architectures/operating systems this might be a good time to try updating.
Talk is cheap, until you can back up your words with a program of your own, I think everything you said was BS. Oh definitely. And if you go to a movie and don't like it, I guess you can't criticize it unless you make a better one. And if you think the President of the USA makes a bad decision, you can't criticize it if you haven't been in his position. Maybe if you dislike Windows you have to make a new OS to be able to criticize it? Maybe you should think about the logic of your statements dumbass.
just to make 'tens of of millions of pesos' more easily understood in US terms, 1 peso ~= 10 cents. 10 pesos ~= 1 US Dollar. However it is converted, this is still a big gain in money and of quality for the Mexican government

stop posting this gnome crap! might as well just make a box on the side to show this junk.. maybe gnome.slashdot.org ?
I am really getting angry at slashdot for repeatedly using their own ideas instead of just reporting the news.
So student decides he will mock his asst principal, and this is considered crazy that he gets in trouble? Doing this to a boss, or doing anything to the principal at school would be ok, but a website makes it ok? Yes, the children of today definitely need a right to make fun of their teachers and principals. I am only 15, but I see this as very crazy.
please slashdot, report just the news, not your own views while ignoring ones that contradict those views.
For those not familar with neverwinter nights -
1. It is going to be published for MacOS,BeOS,Windows,and Linux, all to be released at same time
2. It is a D&D 3rdEdition game allowing modules for D&D to be used directly on PC, with a person acting as DM (true D&D on PC)
3. It does not have a set release date, but should be 3rd or 4th quarter 2001
4. More specific D&D info - takes place from Neverwinter(northern FR) to Luskan, over 200 spells, up to 20th lvl. 7 races, 12 classes, 9 alignments. 200+ monsters, can import characters from the BG series.
5. can play singleplayer or multiplayer, allows full voice communication
All of this can be changed(such as additional spells can be created, 20th lvl can be exceeded with future enhancements to be released). The main selling point of the game is that it has near-infinite playability, since you can create your own modules and use others modules, not just the ones included with the game. Therefore, you can create a PnP D&D game to PC!

I suggest that users who want to upgrade KDE easily use apt:). For me to upgrade KDE, I just do
apt-get update;apt-get -yu dselect-upgrade
not only does that upgrade kde, it upgrades all of my system, and yes of course it can be set to only upgrade one package..
"I hate having to download 25+ rpms/source files and having to figure out libraries etc" Funny, since with Debian none of this is needed! Sorry if this sounds like another "apt is great, debian is great", but it IS. If you don't like having to install KDE on redhat with many odd rpms, then move to a decent distro based on.deb and apt.
What are your feelings on the Napster situation and the DVD situation? Also, what do you think is the most important thing that GNU/Linux needs to add to continue its growth and become a better operating system?
I also am not affected in any negative way from videogame matter to real-life, HOWEVER, simply because you or I are not affected does not mean it is not a risk. I play violent games, watch violent movies, etc. It appears to me as movies and games get more on-the-edge, it certainly effects the people who are seeing this, mainly if they are at a young impressionable age. Certainly seeing guns does not mean they will attack with guns, however seeing violence does cause children to be more prone to hitting others, as far as I have seen (if this is posted twice, it is because of error first time which made me repost)
Maybe I am ignorant, but Jon Katz is not hired simply for school reports is he? If he is, I am quite sorry for being uninformed. However, as soon as I saw the story, before looking at the poster I knew it had to be Jon Katz, as only he would post things related to school. Cmon Jon, get some new stuff!
I had the same problem with ppp with 2.4.0 (ive used linux since 2.0.31, and yes i also know how to install pppd and a new kernel:)) 2.4.1 gave me no problems with pppd, so that appears to be fixed
Oh junk. Poor people can't buy computers?The masses in Compton don't have access to P4s?
As for computers in school - if people want to learn, they will. People who realize how important knowledge is will take the initiative to gain the power it brings.

does that look like it is made by borland? oh yes, and it is also 16 bit code.

"Fuk u lamer"
"U r gay!"
"no u r gay!"
Even though we ship with the 2.4 kernel, it is _not_ the default kernel, the user has to explicitly select the kernel during the installation."
.. nice job geniuses.
so the whole point is basically "SuSE with its new distros is doing the exact same thing all others are doing"
