ahh just days.. I spent the better part of a year battling the sectoids and aquamen.. Still at the top of my list of best games ever. Also there, the original Master of Orion, it was reviewed as Civ in space but it was very different.. Better in my opinion.
Their server can't scale either judging by the rampant slashdot effect. To get on topic, it's nice to see a well thought out and calculated paper demonstrating why Gnutella will eventually collapse. I've been telling my friends this for a long time and their response has been, it's fine on DSL/Cable/your broadband of choice. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thought this through.
uhh, well you see.. it's like, this thing.. where the arms create arms which create arms, which create arms.. recursion I think it's called.. and it makes my brain hurt, but it's not really revolutionary because computer folk have been doing this sort of thing on a much smaller scale for awhile.. but in manufacturing it's frankly ingenius.. unless I missed the entire point of the article in question in which case disregard the above as it's 4:06 in the am for fuck sake
Actually the "6" key is on the right side of the keyboard for the split. That's how I was taught to type at least. But then again, I can only type 75 wpm with 95% accuracy. To the above poster, the B key on my lovely Adesso ergo keyboard is on the left side, just where I like it.
In short, yes. Because with open standards they don't have anyone to sue when they implement it wrong. If they liscence it from another company they can sue them when something goes terribly wrong or it doesn't work in their app.. blah blah blah
I would guess most distributions use LILO by default because that's what most of the documentation is written for, and what's been used as the defacto standard since the olden days of slack and redhat. I personally used CHOS with my debian box, because it was very easily customized and had a gui customizer to boot, and LILO would only do the LI and stop for some reason.
I'd have to agree with you, however I doubt the immature days of Linux are gone. KDE and GNOME people are still fighting instead of working together to make a decent UI, and the strongest voice of the linux "community" is still the echo of a million flames lambasting everyone that's not linux for not being linux and 31337. I think the linux "community" needs to work on growing up and so does the software if it ever hopes to be able to be desktop friendly. I'd say apt is a good start, but it needs much much more than just good package management. It needs apps that don't suck, and it needs a killer app for the desktop instead of the windows ripoffs.
This is exactly what and how Apple achieved with their version of NeXTstep. They not only took someone else's robust kernel, but they also took someone else's gui framework as well.
Steve Jobs, worked for Apple, Steve Jobs got fired by Apple, Steve Jobs created NeXT, Apple bought NeXT, Steve Jobs interim CEO of Apple, so effectively NeXT += Apple.. Nowthen, About OS X, you're right, they took someone elses kernel, but they rewrote Display Postscript completely and reverse engineered PDF by hand to created Display PDF, and the rest of the underpinnings to create Quartz, which is only similar to NeXT's gui framework in concept, but is an evolution from it. However, Carbon and Classic are both pure Apple granted Classic is an OS9 emulator similar to plex86 and VMWare.
Netscape has provided the bulk if not all of the servers to the Mozilla.org the bandwidth, and 95% of the engineers, including QA, and PDT. I'm not sure what else they could give back to an open source project. If it really bothers you that much just use mozilla and copy the plugins to your mozilla plugins directory, or install a banner filter proxy. It's easy. In IE 5.5 you get links and other assorted crap to MSN so it's all the same.
the old "feel" was put back in the latest beta, the jump based on FPS however is not in the newest beta as it gave people an unfair advantage and amounted to cheating (flame me all you want I don't care) which they're ardently against. I personally think the damage through walls thing was wise to take out, as it's not realistic, however they could have special brushes for metal gratings or something that would give the damage through walls effect when it's useful, and realistic. I don't know which side of the fence you're on with regards to strafe jumping but I'm all for it, I don't know how coordinated you are, but I can run sideways and jump sideways and I would assume most other people can. The only thing that bothers me about quake3 is that bunny hopping is faster than running. If I remember correctly in the early tests it wasn't, but Thresh bitched about it so to quiet him Carmack made it so.
It gets what they want you to hear out in the open, which != the true information. The reality is smoking pot is no worse than drinking alcohol. One causes Liver Disease, one causes Lung Cancer, one fucks with your brain, the other fucks with your brain. There's always going to be the "rebel" mindset as long as marijuana is illegal, that will never change a thing. Pardon my anti-establishmentarianism but the shirts make you look like a tool, and Most people laugh at you for wearing them, because the war against drugs is a farce.
Red Ribbon week was my favorite time of the year, we'd all be asked to sign the petition saying we'd be drug free for the year, and then after school we'd all smoke some weed and get drunk. If you think Alcohol isn't a drug, you're on crack, which is also a drug.;) Nowthen DARE admittedly might have helped people decide not to do the harder drugs, I know I haven't but that's because one of my ex girlfriends was addicted to coke and was in bad bad shape. I figured out on my own that wasn't what I wanted. With that being said, I think the grotesque showing of the heroin and meth addicts the Government is showing in their commercials are the most potent ads they've had yet. Hard drugs are bad, Marijuana isn't a hard drug. Just for the record though, I haven't smoked in over a year, because for the most part I haven't wanted to. I wouldn't turn it down if someone offered, but other then that, there's no need.
That's the single most hilarious thing I've read about this piece of "art" on the entire forum. I applaud you sir. The sad thing is, I've been known to absolutely adore crappy art before, but this, this is just sad.
I'm sure they care if they get lied to, but the site in question is quite frankly brilliant social experimentation, much like the Invasion from Mars on the radio oh so many years ago. We're growing as a society and need to be tricked in newer more imaginative ways. Do you think Hitler would have succeeded with his blatant propoganda and primitive brain washing techniques if he were doing his run today? No, he wouldn't have. Nowthen, on to the cool stuff and offtopic stuff, that everyone seems to miss. In the presidential debates the man at the anchor desk, I don't remember his name off hand said something I found peculiar. He said and this is paraphrased "Let's see what the people at home on their couches thought about tonight's debate." Like he wasn't talking to us, but to someone else perhaps the government brain washers trying to perfect their techniques to get anything past us . I've also noticed that the candidates agree completely on the issues at hand, the middle east, gay marriage, education, social security, internet legislation, abortion and so forth, and only differ in their implementation of their values. How may I ask are we supposed to choose from two opposing candidates when they do not oppose eachother. We're being led down a one way track, and noone it seems is noticing it. You talk about sick mister Benjamin Shniper, I say this is sick, not your worrisome social experiment that didn't get posted and ruined your precious day. Of course, I could be wrong about this, but I hope I've atleast opened some eyes.
I know that would cause me to perish just from the smell, but I'm not sure equating my death with the world ending is such a wise idea. Unless you're a member of the "tono fanclub."
I think a mini pint sized black hole would do wonders for our morale! Think of the possibilities of a joyride as your body gets twisted and bent through space and time, I know I'd pay for that ride!. On a side note, it's disasteRs with an R.
Because the other candidates had even less popular vote, duh. In kinder terms, those who were against him were split on whom to vote for so he got elected anyway.
I remember when XCOM: UFO Defense came out, I played it constantly every day for a week. I dreamed about it every single night and the dreams usually gave me insight as to what I was doing wrong in the game. I've also dreamed about Homeworld, Alpha Centauri and Quake. I say if you don't dream about the game. You don't let yourself become enveloped with it enough! I also used to play Nettris alot man that was a blast. Dreaming about games you play is I feel an important step in becoming excellent at that game. Because only then will the game have became an integral part of your psyche:)
I'm really not too surprised by this at all, and I'd venture to guess the number is in the 3 out of 10 area and that's being conservative. And people wonder why I left college and grew to hate programming.

This just in, your phone company can disconnect your service remotely!

The dock has always been resizable and you could always turn on multiple windows in the OS X finder, although why you would want to is beyond me.

oh please, nader didn't have a chance in hell of winning. He did suprisingly well in my state of Colorado with 5% though.
Yeah, I'd agree.. which was atleast implied if not stated in my posten.
