I have to just quick agree with you. My five year old son knows how to use Gentoo/KDE better than he knows how to use Windows (or the old Mac at his pre school). It's what I use so that's what he's grown most experience with.
Granted he doesn't really know anything about "system administration" and all that stuff, but the point is that he's very familiar with "Daddy's Computer" and knows how to mount cd's and launch cedega (WineX) to get Jedi Academy running and knows how to get to Playhouse Disney, and all that sort of thing.
I use Linux Web Host. I've been with them for 4 or 5 years now. Web mail, distribution lists, spam protection, multiple users, etc. The prices are really cheap too. (plus all the usual Web Host pluses - SQL access, Frontpage extentions (if that's your thing), passwording directories, hosting PGP keys, SSH access, etc. the list goes on and on)
No, I don't work for them, I'm just a user and have been very happy with the service for quite a few years.
Ya, know, I never got this. People complain about Clippy (yes, I hated the idea too, but not the point), but no one complains about that star thing in OpenOffice...
True. That's a good point, and one I agree with. I was just pointing out that you filled out most of the same info for this site that you would for the NYTimes. Yes, OK, their "survey" is a bit more intrusive than/.'s, and you've proven (as have others) that there's ways around it.
Hmmm... I'm starting to contradict myself. I should quit while I'm ahead...
Shit... Sorry... I should've added that I have a Gig of RAM and an nVidia GF4-ti-4600. This is a a very worthy "gaming" machine, I just need to know if I can play this game or not.
OK, I have to ask since I haven't seen it posted yet.
Are there Linux binaries included on the install CD? Am I going to have to run this "under" WineX (cedega)? I *really* want this game (and I've given id my money since the Wolf3d days...). The Windows machine I have back here have a VooDoo3 card in it - it can't run this (it's barely running Lego Racers 2).

most of the time, my phone won't even ring if the caller's not in my phone book.
This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. I have a cell phone for emergencies (and general communication). If my Son gets run over and his Mom is calling me from a hospital, your idea means I'd never know about when she tried calling. There's no way to type in all the possible numbers of someone / ANYone that *could* possibly call - and have them be VERY important calls at that.
When it gets right down to it, games that are made are often better than some of the other games put out
"Some things are better than others." is essentially your post. That means absolutely nothing. Or even "games that are made are sometimes better than others that are made".
Just to answer your question, I can honestly say that I've never used Freenet. The passing will go un-noticed.
Can't we get some more fun articles here? People building a bar out of an old VAX? People building beer chillers with Rocket Engines? Does it have to be all this lame-ish stuff that's been on the front page a for a few weeks now?
Yes. And so are the Linux users, and the Mac users, and the Windows users, and the BeOS users, and the Amiga users, and the OS/2 users and the AS/400 users, and the...

it sucks ass under Windows.
I wouldn't know. It's running fine with xine...

There's a Gentoo female that you can buy for the low low price of $890US...

It's not that hard. Yea OK, it might take a while on slower systems, but it's not hard or "system breaking".

we have to show web sites that forcing registration for marketing / tracking purposes leads to a reg database full of crap.
And you're a long time logged in user here...

How can you say all that and not mention Brian Eno?!?

because I know a lot of people who would disregard a game solely because it wasnt made by a real company.
Why?
So they'd balk at teh latest id release and go DL something from "Jimz Game Tome" just because it wasn't from id?
And before you say "no, that's not what I meant", that is what you said.

I feel better with people from dozens of countries looking over code, than just a couple hundred in Redmond.
Man, hands-down. No argument there. That's most of the reason I use and support "Linux". *ANYONE* can see what Under-The-Hood(tm).
You are nothing but 100% right (in my eyes anyway). The main "selling point" that Open Source has to offer is the fact that it's *NOT* centralized.
What if the input field was 1 line and [enter] submitted it.
Then you wouldn't need [TAB}? INPUT and TEXTBOX are handled differently from eachother in all browsers.
