Microsoft survived because every PC sold has a copy of its operating system sold with it, and because of the insane volume of microsoft office licenses sold to big business worldwide.
not really, I use the knoppix cd and start a samba server and move the files to another machine using this little thing we have called a 'network'. At our company it is usually faster to reimage a hosed machine than to try and remove spyware/viruses. I can have a clean install up and running in under 1/2 hour. Also knoppix supports usb keydrives.
I should bring one of my LiveCDs into the computer lab here as an experiment. Then again, considering one guy ended up with police on his doorstep because his use of lynx scared a librarian
Try booting up with Knoppix STD and see what kind of reception you get.
I think it was a reference to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the Golgafrinchans who decided to rid their world of stupid people..

The usefulness of being able to run, for example, Tripwire from a known clean OS makes me wonder why it isn't standard on KNOPPIX.
I am totally mystified now. Why tripwire a filesystem that can't be changed. that seems like an exercise in futility.
So I googled it ! I came up with a bunch of crap but the one interesting result was knoppix-std. It doesnt even contain tripwire but is a security/analysys tool distro and had "aide" which they describe as tripwire-esque. Anyway it looks pretty cool.
This cements my idea that we need a bash.org for slashdot +5 funnies. So few things make me laugh out loud these days, but there is always a gem or 2 on slashdot that tickles my funnny bone.
35 been playing games since I was 9, beginning with pong and space invaders, through tempest nethack robotron defender gauntlet dark knight pinball food fight paperboy hangon, wizardry, krozar, doom, sam and max, populous, etc etc etc.....
I have played on a huge ass TV, and it looked like a blurry low resolution mess on a huge ass TV. I would rather play on a 21" crt at a minimum of 1024 x 768 than a low resolution behemoth. So far I haven't found anything that I like better than FPS / RTS though. I have the most fun playing at work with people that I know doing team DM or CTF. Thats just my opinion though. I am also the wierdo that would rather play bzflag than MADDEN LIVE 2006 !!!!!!!
I have been thinking that I was missing out on all of this great gaming going on on consoles since I don't have a xbox or ps2. Let me tell you last night I played halo2 on xbox at an after-work tourney, and the week before played around with GTA San Andreas on a PS2. What a disappointment. I found the graphics seriously lacking (what is it, half the resolution of the shittiest 640x480 monitor?), the little game controllers sucked ass and the low scan rate of the TV gave me a headache. Consoles are gaming for the masses. Those games didn't hold half a candle to any of the PC games that I have played. I feel fully immersed when I play on a computer, so much so that you could walk up to me and I wouldn't even know that you were there. If you like sports games and half assed low res action games then get a console. If you want a gaming experience that makes you say "WHOA" then get a computer with a good graphics card and get to playing.
Officer: Next weekend, we're having our annual war games. Now Simpson, because of your many years as a nuclear technician, we're putting you on a nuclear sub. Homer: "Nuc-u-lar". It's pronounced "nuc-u-lar". Officer: Oh, whatever. Homer: "Nuc-u-lar".
yeah right, if you live in the freakin sticks. I have been using my entire upstream bandwidth pretty much constantly since I got a cable modem 2 years ago, with nary a whisper from time warner. Its capped anyway so its not like I am saturating a Big Pipe (tm).
oh my bad then i misread your post as saying that GF was why they shoudln't make adventure games anymore.... then i went to the website and was in awe of how freaking cool it looked and it didn't compute... pz.
This one really tickles me. The very first pirate / phreak bbs i ever logged on to was 'The Pirates Bay' in 415. It was run by Mr Krack-Man who many of you that owned Apple ]['s will remember. He cracked many well known packages, including Print Shop.

everything 2 entry Kilroy was here !
There were plans for 4 processor g4's also, remember? Then there was a cpu shortage and they stopped at dual proc models.
Isn't that what college is all about ? (besides the education thingy)

Cool, yup, I kind of clicked around for a while until I stumbled across it... it was linked to from a sidebar somewhere or another...

i was replying to the guy that said he hadn't seen a cell phone with a fm radio in America. And my point was that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
I would imagine there would be no end to the list of things you haven't seen.
Yep... A guy I know bought a "The Brick" machine way back when. It was pretty nice.
Its funny to me because brick is the slang we use to describe an old heavy laptop around here, as in "man, that thing is a total brick"
