What Is Cygwin? Cygwin is a UNIX environment for Windows.
And while reading the description I kept thinking of that line:
"... it is like humping your sister, sure it feels good when you start, but you both know it is wrong.
KDE on windows...hurmph...like putting a tiara on a moose...uhhh...bad analogy. And get that thing away from my head!
Just kidding, what? you expect them to read their own site?
God! That would, be like, oh I don't know, Hotmail actually using Win2k for anything other than "Windows dressing", and leaving BSD at the back end (IIRC, mind you).
I just chalk it up to the fact they are too busy rejecting all my articles...paranoid, me? Nah.
HEY! What was that soun...
I thought the reason for installing *nix's was so you'd never have to shut down? Therefore this should not be a problem.
Now does this occur during *any* unmounting operation? Manually vs Shutdown?
Oh, and be-fan, don't install XP and use Ext3 (hey, that rhymes) because if XP uses your Ext3 as swap space and 2.4.15 corrupts itself...woah, double whammy.
Hey, any chance of getting iTunes 2.0 on Linux and Windows? Wanna play Russian Roulette...with an Uzi?
Whip me, beat me, make me write bad checks (or install windows...same same)
Did you even read my posting? Didja *see* the inclusion of text direct from the fucking article?
Obviously not. Because someone with an IQ above 50 would have read more than the subject line.
And, if whoever modded this down, obviously missed this:
But several online game reviews of "Real War" have criticized it for not being realistic enough, calling the movements jerky and cartoonish. Which, if you have a sense of humor at all, will see that the paragraph below has direct linking to the paragraph above.
And in other news, Mr. Omer's next sim will be called "Real Congress", and get rave reviews for its accurate depiction.
Oh, well, not to worry. My other account hit the karma cap quite quickly, thank you.
Proving to me, and anyone else in the/. crowd that intelligent moderation is reflected on intelligent posting and the new game seems to be modding by subjet/name
I would say that Final Doom has the best level design out of the 3 Doom games.
This I agree with, and a few of the add on levels created by other authors that I had d/l'ed over the years.
I think it was TNT that had one level that you had to activate an invisible bridge.
When I got to that particular level, I'd asked my supervisor (who'd gone thru it) he said rather cryptically..."You'll find the answer...and you'll be sooo pissed when you do".
I got so frustrated I put that level down for a year.
I was sooo pissed when I did find the solution.
A shootable "wall" inside a little "rock window" off to the left, would activate an invisible bridge.
That is what made DooM so great...It could piss you off like that and still be just as addictive as when you last left it.
"It can't replace any real training," says Omer. "But what it does do is allow the military to prepare and rehearse before they get into any situation."
And boot camp is for...?
Combat training is for...?
SEAL, Munitions, Howitzer, Tank and Sharpshooter training is for...?
This dude deserves a "DUH!" award, if there was one.
Remember those lines from G.I. Jane:
Nurse: "Why are you doing this?"
Jane: "Do you ask that of all the men?"
N: "Yes"
J: "And what do they answer?"
N: "I get to blow shit up."
Hell, Rogue Spear and Q3 mods provide enough realism...just add it to the VR and several "pressure cuffs" and "shock suits" to simulate damage.
I remember making the old style box cameras and actually made one out of a film canister.
Had to use black tape on my finger for the shutter because the exposure time was 1sec or so.
This watch, like the canister camera is a neat toy but not really practicle.
Dunno if it could be increased in resolution and size, and maybe a memory stick added for image transfer it would be even cooler, but would still be just a neat toy of no practicle value.
The opposite is true now with digital cameras, than with "normal cameras"... consider that you can delete images from a digital camera and not from normal ones.
I forget if the question was asked here or over at arstechnica, but could we be losing our histroy (in images) because of digital cameras?
Think about it for a second, what photojournalist out there might delete by accident "that one photo" they hope to capture? With a film based camera you "have to wait" and then "judge the shot".
Neat toy, nice shiney object, bet it eats batteries like there is no tomorrow tho..batteries I'd wager that you can only get from the manufacturer.
If the borrowed from the iTunes installer (if it were open source, that is) they could have said "see, if formats hard drives just like our installer does".
Case closed.
oh, and from the mplayerhq website:
MPlayer stolen by russian OS/2 users !
Don't think of it as stealing think of it as "adding your distinctiveness to our own".
Consider the phrase (MS or Apple?) use when MS wanted apple to "kill" Quicktime.
The phrase was "knife the baby".
So, yes, in a funny way children are like code:
raising one is like debugging (think about it).
Early stages, code, like babyies will "shit themselves".
They behave in erattic ways (compare visiting friends to giving a demo...some know how well that goes).
Both consume resources.
both provide amusement.
both provide frustration.
both have varied levels of 'stability'
The list goes on.
But think about it this way as it pertains to windows: Instead of the DOJ the DSS will arrest BG for "failure to thrive" (XP) and SB for "Lewd and indecent conduct" (monkey boy and Developers!^9...shudder).
moderators should not be anonymouse (or anonmoose) and unaccountable for their moderation?
Most insightful sig I've ever read. Ironically it showed up about 2 weeks after a rant I had on the very subject. Brevity, I like that.
And, NO, this is not blatant flamebait...I'm much more subtle than that.:)
Oh, and as a rule when I have mod points from time to time; anything you read that makes you angry...reread it twice. Because flamebait will make you even angrier and sarcasm and biting satire will elude you the first time around and maybe the second.
Waandering back on topic:
Is anyone really suprised? I'm too lazy to look for it but there was an interview here or on macslash.com about a person that ran a anon service and the legal "hammering" they got was just astounding. The man stood his ground reguardless of the solid or shaky foundation he was on.
His reliance was on donations, and untraceable donations at that. Very interesting and I have not heard of this place going out of business mainly because of the "principal" of it all.
Now, that, my fellow/.'ers takes some brass ones.
As a business, I don't see how they can stand up for someone when "business ethics" is all too often a contradiction in terms.

If that isn't enough to keep whatever scripts they run busy for decades...I don't know what is.
Magic Lantern...meh...more like Magic Lampoon.
Don't worry FBI dudes...the clue^H^H^H^H truth is out there....
I just might get it, and update it ASAP.
I just have to remember not to shut it down or unmount any drives.

Honestly tho, MOL (mac on linux) sounds just like classic...or am I off base?
it it happens happens to to the the best best of of us us.
I'm suprised no one got a double first post on this subject...that would be a record...and rather pathetic, quite possibly.

They are taking prisoners...did you forget the 1.1billion dollar donation thingy?
until you can get your certificate, Microsoft informs people to go on IRC and get XP_reg_gen.vbs in order to register their products.
Oh, and I love this quote:

Seeing as Doom had secret levels to wolfenstein if the new RTCW had "tributes" to DooM.
Also, I don't recall seeing any snippets about the "Win-Doom" that allowed higher resolutions and the GLdoom ports (transparency, smoother grfx).
Of course I can see the GL Doom being overlooked as I don't recall it ever being "finalized".
How is this off topic?

Strategy video game "Real War" is rated "Teen" because of its lack of gore.
Oh, yeah...a real war lacks gore...brilliant, just brilliant.
I read the article and all I could thing was one of the bot lines "Medic! Quick! I'm laughing so hard I am choking!"
And I suppose hitting your opponent results in "flashes of light". Green, yellow and red for their health status, perhaps?

I see it now:
The DOJ lets Microsoft off.
and now this (please make note of my cynicism):
treaty designed to make tracking and prosecuting 'hackers' easier and more efficient.
So long as they use Microsoft Word and Windows XP we can find them anywhere.
What exactly is defined as 'hacker' is something I haven't been able to find out.
That is easy, they stand out.
Say in a loud voice: "Napster baaaad!", "No Soup for YOU!", "WOOT", "Hey, where's the 'any' key".
Whoever laughs, smirks, or chuckles is a "hacker".
Listen for strange words such as: "haxor", "linux", "quake", "wolfenstein" "all your base are belong to us" or "comdex"...highly suspect.
If those don't reveal any "hackers", announce "free stuffed penguins being given away at location XXX". Arrest anyone who arrives.
Why was the public not made aware of this until it was done?
They were informed. Just go to any jail and look for someone holding a penguin, and ask.
Want a stuffed penguin? I know where you can get one for free! WOOT!...now who could that be at the door at this hour?

Something to ponder, I suppose.

Hey! wait a minute!
that the settlement was a lot simpler than people let on?
After all that went on over the past several years it come down to:
The DOJ bends over and shouts "Windows ME! Windows ME! Windows ME!"
Because when you think about it (with a warped spin on reality) "Fsck ME!" and "Windows ME" really have the same ring to them.
Ah, the power of integration.
Meaning:
It Isn't Secure.
How apropos.

Maybe someone was trying to run a beaowolf webserver cluster of game cubes?
