  1. Why no joystick under Linux? on Interview w/ Dave "Zoid" Kirsch about Linux Quake · · Score: 1

    The answer to this is simple. If you use a joystick you must be braindead and .'. cant figure out how to use Q3A under Linux anyway.
    Get yourself off that stick now, for the good of your frag count! =)

  2. Video on Interview w/ Dave "Zoid" Kirsch about Linux Quake · · Score: 1

    Now now troll.
    I'll have you know that whenever all the Quakers round this area meet up Linux QuakeWorld is the game of choice. The fact that I can use GLqwcl and run qwsv at the same time on my box without any slowdown on my part or packetloss is a huge plus, as noone wants to have to use their box as a pure dedicated server. You try running qwsv on a 95/98 box and connecting to localhost.
    Doesnt happen on NT, but really, you ever tried Quakin under NT?

  3. swap files on Solid State Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    Um, of course it swaps. What do you expect it to do? Use up all the free memory with programs that are sleeping etc? I have a 128MB of RAM, and yes, I use swap under Linux. But compared to 98 where for some strange reason I've got 50MB of used memory on bootup and I start swapping pretty heavily after I open just one IE window....

  4. Now I know where the MP3 came from - so what? on Liquid Audio to Open Source their MP3 watermarking · · Score: 1

    Over here in the UK (and the rest of Europe AFAIK) it is still legal to create a backup of music tapes/CD's for personal use. This right is soon to be taken away from us though, last I heard some Euro MP's were trying to make it against European law....
