I see no point in chasing after the latest consoles and their expensive software.
Super Monkey Ball and Pikmin. That's about it really - other than that, I play Pong (!) and Worms, both in their Playstation 1 versions. Used to play SSX Tricky too on the PS2, but while fun it's not as long-lasting as the games above.
artidge-based and a less-than-aesthetic external CD module, this project was destined to be still-born.
Noooh....wrong era. All consoles were cartridge-based then - this is the time of the Nintendo SNES (Super Famicom in the States) and Megadrive (Genesis). And besides, the Jaguar was a handheld.
I used to work in a shop which sold these. Can't remember the name of its Sega rival, but it's the inferior Sega machine which won out. All the staff used to play the Jaguar games.
A long long time ago, on the Commodore 64, was a game called Action Biker. A good game for its time, it was produced by Mastertronic for £1.99.
That game was sponsored by KP Skips crisps. Follow the link above and you can see a screenshot clearly showing the Skips logo. Now - I can't remember if there were any Skips logos actually during gameplay, but that's the first piece of advertising within games that I'm aware of.
The anonymous submitter wrote "RedHat successfully forces both GNOME and KDE to become compatible with one another which would result in the creation of a single desktop."
He wrote no such thing.

Quoting out of context is often used an excuse, but that's not to say it doesn't actually happen.
That presumes that the reviewers are advocates first, reviewers second.
Not at all - it presumes they are reviewers first, advocates nowhere. To review one must make accurate comparisons. To make accurate comparisons you must listen on the same equipment.
Additionally, a record company is now trying to impose its process into your business. You can either accept this, or make a statement that you control your business' methods and reject their attempt.
No l33t 0p3n s0Vrc3 advocacy required. And not even the merest whisper of Ogg Vorbis...
Return the thing unreviewed then, siting 'technical difficulties'.
Presumably other artists' CDs are put through the reviewers' own systems, set up the way they like them. Just say a fair comparison is impossible without putting these new CDs through that same system.
Of course, if you're feeling vindictive, you could always slate them instead...
It's OpenSSL 0.9.6b, with security patches...the version number is right.
Well, I sort of agree but mostly don't. If patches have been applied, then it isn't the same as a vanilla 0.9.6b. Essentially, they've created a fork off the 0.9.6b trunk. The version number should reflect that - maybe 0.9.6b-sc1 (for security patch 1) for example.
As an aside, what is that open source people have got against making a version 1.0 of anything? It's just a number, nothing to be scared of...
openssl-0.9.6b-28 is the current red hat version, and it is fully fixed.
It even shows the old version if you run openssl version:
OpenSSL 0.9.6b [engine] 9 Jul 2001
Oh now that's poor. Asking for the version doesn't give you the correct version? Poor. Version commands should be dependent on source control tags, not programmers having to remember to edit that particular bit of source.
Perhaps the German Government should allocate just a wee bit more time for the development of a FULL Groupware Suite?!?!?!?
Oh, but they have. This project is being pulled together by utilising existing projects, each of which have been running for considerably more than a few months. This seems to be a 'tying-up loose ends' affair, rather than a push to develop things from scratch.
True there's plenty of tying up to be done, but then that's why this project exists. The situation doesn't appear to be as bad as you believe it to be however.
But the version which is free does not support the calander functionality. In a corporate environment that is a must have.
You know, I'm always told how having calendar functionality is essential to the corporate environment. And I agree, completely.
I'm surprised however that people rarely seem to think it's useful purely on a personal level though. I would love to have one calendar, net-accessible, on a machine that I control, which can be utilised by a number of different clients. Web-based, client app for Linux, client app for Windows, client app for OS X...whatever. Same for contacts and address books, and the same for task lists too.
Tracking time is not just a corporate thing. It really is useful at the personal level too. I know there are free calendars available at places such as Yahoo, but I rather baulk at putting such information onto someone else's servers. No - an Exchange-a-like is the way to go, and these people seem to be doing it.
Point of this post is - don't just think of scheduling software as a corporate tool. It's useful in your every day life as well.
Ah ha....found it in the article. Look at section five.
The Windows client application to cooperate with the Kolab server and the KDE client is Outlook 2000 with the Bynari Insight Connector 1.09 plugin installed.
No modifications are made to this proprietary software.
Perfect. Would prefer no plug-in at all, but will certainly leap at what's being suggested so far.
Please make it possible for Outlook to connect as well. Doing this will make the migration vastly more simple
A Linux-based Exchange-a-like would be a God-send to me, and I suspect to many others too. You can get some of the way there at the moment with IMAP and LDAP, but as has been gone over ad-infinitum on this site the calendar side is completely lacking at present.
"Two characters who at first seem to have insurmountable differences meet and, through a series of comic moments, fall in love. A complication threatens to dash their hopes, but at the last moment everything works out."
They take us to task for not adhering to a treaty that wasn't even RATIFIED by us (Kyoto), while wiping their asses on the NATO treaty that protected them for nearly fifty years.
I'm from the UK. I have to say that a very common response when the NATO treaty was invoked was - "so when do the US troops arrive to wipe out the IRA then?". I'm sure the Spanish were thinking about ETA too.
Would this be the same Rob Hubbard from dearrob.mod ? I never heard any of his music (AFAIK)
Not come across that one - at work right now but I'll download tonight and have a listen.
Chances are very strong, though, that the answer is "yes it is the same person". If you've done any C64 gaming, chances are you'll have heard at least something by him.
To find out more about Rob and what he wrote, go to The Complete Works of Rob Hubbard, where there are interviews and downloads. If you've not heard him before, try at least One Man and his Droid, Sanxion, Master of Magic and Commando. Probably International Karate too.
Seriously though, the Amiga was _much_ better for music than the ST - musicians often fell for the false economy of the ST with it's built in (crappy) midi port...
Er...no. For soundtracker and computer-based music, there's no argument. The Amiga destroyed the ST (and I was an ST owner).
For pro MIDI-work however, the Amiga never really got a look in. The availability of Cubase on the ST, and the high-res (for the time) mono monitor made for a superb production environment.
I can't be the only one who doesn't understand why Rob Hubbard was writing computer game music.
He should have been in a band. A good band. A brilliant band. I would still love to hear One Man and His Droid played by a rock band that knows its stuff...
If banks are going to be politically active, maybe the choice of bank you use should also be politically motivated from now on.
Smile in the UK have an ethical investment policy, and they use that fact extensively in their advertising. They're actively hoping that you'll allow your politics to influence your choice of bank.
Why should i be interested in reading a interface manual for a system that doesn't run in my computer?
Because Apple's HCI guides work very well, no matter which OS you apply them to. Yes, some things will be specific to the Mac. On the other hand, I still stick by many of the principles outlined in the "Apple Human Interface Guidelines" book published circa System 6.
Oh, and that's for Java, C/C++ apps and even web pages to a small extent. Haven't had a Mac since the original LC.

That's it. That's the one - Sega Game Gear.
I can see why you're not working in the game retail business anymore! :-P
Err, yes. Very politely put...

Oh bugger. Completely wrong post above - I'm thinking of the Atari Lynx, aren't I? Not Jaguar at all...
Sorry.

Footage from my digital video camera. As well as compressed, I like to store the uncompressed version so that I can re-edit at a later stage.
It absolutely eats disk space.
