I'm going to have to dig out an emulator and play with some old stuff. Pity you can't stop the tape after the first load section and type in some pokes like in the old days. (or can you? I haven't played with an emulator)
Hmm - this artice sucks.. and I read most of it. Where is the writing about the games that 0wn you for months and months at a time? It goes year by year talking about the consoles, talking a little about the games - If it wasn't for the games temselves who would buy a console? I know my reason for buying a n64 was goldeneye, my ps1 was bought for tomb raider..
I would rather snuggle up with some old philosophy books on a sunday morning than read that crap.
they're running a dual boot machine with 20Gb hard drives. At that size HD there isn't really any difference between the filesystem speeds to affect Quake and it makes life way easier when you want to write to the windows filesystem from linux during the tests (this is a longer term review, not a one-off benchmark). I don't consider this to be any real bias - more a real life situation for someone running a shit hot dual boot system..

The Register are not top be taken at face value - in another post at their site their selling "Integrity - We've heard of it" t-shirts. Their reporting is pretty on the mark and far less scary than slashdots - I laugh with the Register rather than at Taco;-)
I thought that the export notes had caught up with your domestic version now. We used to have hassles when someone from our US places came to our UK office and needed set up temporarily on one of our machines - the id they had would be incompatible with our export copy of 4.6.x - we don't seem to have that problem anymore with 5.0.8.
I dunno - when I was at Liverpool there was almost no restrictions on what you could do (although this was a few years ago) but anyway.. blocking telnet has to be a good thing yeh? And you can find a way round the IM thing I'm sure.. Thats half the fun surely - going round the system.. In any case, most of the IM apps will run through an https proxy happily - or for internal stuff just set up a jabber server yourself.. i mean, uni's are so inbred anyway that you'll only use it to chat to your dealer down the hall or something;-)
don't base your choice of comp sci on what they block at the firewall...
I've been using Linux on and off since '96, I use Debian and Netware on my servers, Windows on desktops but I just bought an iBook...
I love that the GUI is consistant throughout, that everything just works, that I don't have to spend hours going through config files, that it dosen't crash like windows, that I can drop to a shell and nmap away to my hearts content. Most of all I love that my fonts are all smooth and nice and cuddly;-)
It's the first computer I've had where I spend more time working with it and less time making it run the way I want it to (except for my deleting Internet Explorer the first day I got it (to remove the dock icon) and since then being unable to find the installer;-)
Their tech's don't baulk when you say you're running linux - they ask you which kernel, distribution and dhcp client you're using;-) They make notes in your account that you have a clue and talk to you intelligently.
And (last time I looked) their AUP says you can run whatever servers you like so long as they don't cause loads of traffic and they're secure - security is the users problem. Blueyonder seem a bit less with it. Although they're happyish to work with linux they do have issues with some servers and have the x many concurrent connections rule and you must know the person you're dealing with.
It's nice working with a company that has a clue and listens to you when you explain service outages to them.
And remember to number each wall port. I'd wanna have something like U1, U2, U3 for upstairs, D1, D2 etc.. and then take them into the back of a patch panel in the wiring closet and label the front of them with the matching id.
for a horrible moment then I thought you said GPIB then

Yeh, I've had that problem with my Nokia 6210 loads recently - Last time I was crawling around someones desk and hit the emergency number.
Its annoying though as they've made it so 112 will work when the keylock is on and it dials the uk operators - kind of defeats the point of a keylock. I don't mind sending blank sms's to all my mates and adding **#*###*121 entries to my address book but not calling 999 - that sucks.
IMEI numbers can be changed on a handset no problem. In the UK you can get your handest redone by a bloke on a market stall with a laptop for £10 easily.
I'm wondering why they haven't got themselves a tld yet instead of using.com - IIRC they have proven they're an independant principality under UK law so surely that should be enough for ICANN or whoever it is...

Oh yeah, Gauntlet rocked so much.

No worries, you only missed the last sentence and it wasn't up to much

It should really be Redhat/AOL/GNU/Linux I think.

France has always been a problem ;-)
I thought they had changed their minds on that one..

Probably wrong tho'
We were warned not to touch Europa.

I know.. it's a blinder of an idea.
Took us a few naming schemes to come up with that one. None of the others were expandable enough when we wanted to add new drops in.

So what did it say?
There was an article about google a while back saying how they projected a real time (filtered) search listing behind the front desk at their HQ.
