Are you familiar with cedega (formerly winex) from transgaming? wine allows you to run windows binaries under linux. cedega/winex extends this with directx support specifically for windows games. Seems like this is just a natural extension of the emulation layer to me to allow a larger number of windows games to run under cedega.
A lossless file system? Good lord... I most certainly hope all the exisiting file systems out there are not lossy. I have hundreds of gigabytes of data that I don't want to lose.
It's really no big deal. I'm using mp3fs right now. Sure, everything you read is slightly different than what you originally wrote, but you learn to deal with it. It does help to pick the right psychoacoustical model so it's harder to tell exactly what data is missing. As a side effect, I can listen to all my data on an mp3 player, so that's cool.
As most of you know, the more extensions you add to FIREFOX the slower it becomes. With standard firefox taking ~1 second to open a new window
As most of you know, timecop (16217) needs to lay off the crack. Perhaps you are still using your mommie's 386; opening a new window is instantaneous with about a dozen extensions loaded.
The only company I have found that is interested in actually serving the customer so far is braodvoice. They will let me use Asterisk or my own equipment and let me retain control of my equipment. All the others I found refuse to.
Personally, I'm looking at voipex - https://www.voipexinc.com/ using a Sipura 3000 so I can still receive calls on the PSTN number I've had for the last 13+ years...
I had one, and it was basically an expensive way to get an A3000 running AmigaDOS in the end...SysV pretty much sucked, with grayscale X on the onboard hardware (why, oh why?) unless you bought a $1000 graphics card. Amiga wasn't terribly interested in supporting Unix on it, and basically it was dead by the time it was released, with basically no support nor fixes and patches. With a 40MB hard drive there wasn't really enough space for dualboot for both if you wanted to do much with it. Eventually I installed AmigaDOS on the entire drive and that was that.
Having said that, the A3000 was a nice box - enjoyed it for several years until joining the PeeCee crowd around '96 or so.
Managers, get a clue, if you don't like deadlines given by engineers then remove features until they can provide timeframes that are acceptable. And you engineers that are too cowardly to say "No, that cannot be done by that time unless we eliminate/postpone some of the requirements" get some balls.
Haha.. Obviously you don't work in the software industry.
Just so it's not Murloc overlords I'm OK with it. I hate Murlocs with their odd gurgling noises and they always bring lots of friends back when you pull them.
Driving around town to the various stores looking for the game is a strange real world counterpart to a quest in the game. You mission is go search for this box and bring it back to the computer. I've met other people at the stores also looking for WoW, usually staring at an empty slot on the shelf, "yeah, it's supposed to be right here".
You just have to wait long enough for the game box to respawn on the store shelves. Usually it only takes a few minutes. Did you also talk to the guy at the store with the big yellow "!" over his head first?
In terms of hours, I probably played 10-12 hours per day.
Fair enough... So you played for say 30 hours to get to level 20. You'll find now that it will be progressively harder to level. My char is level 34, and it's now taking me a significantly long time to gain enough XP to level.
I meant the original post to be more provocative and less flamebait, but as I reread it, I can see I failed at that.
It was your opinion, not flamebait. In typical/. mob attitude your post was unfortunately modded down.
I think one of the reasons I saw a lack of challenge in WoW was that there seems to be no real death penalty.
That's a fair point. On the other hand, I still try to avoid dying because I don't feel I've accomplished anything if I play that way...

You really should just delete all that illegally downloaded content before the RIAA and MPAA finds you.
Possibly Pandaren, but I hope not.... Pandas seem like a pretty weak idea for a race.

Exactly, plus I don't know why people think the UN is good idea anyway. It's one of the most corrupt governmental bodies in the world.

So what you are saying is if you came across an unlocked car with the keys in the ignition, it's ok for you to take it?
What happened to ethical behavior!?
Officials at Internet portal giant Yahoo (Quote, Chart) are denying a report that it will launch a VoIP (define) service in the next two weeks.
Perhaps it's because they already have one - http://www.dialpad.com/

Who cares what the environaziveggiefools think? Kill it and grill it works for me.
This is pretty typical "journalism" from the Sac Bee... Inaccurate, alarmist, and just plain wrong.
Who's the idiot who modded the parent down? SysV on the thing did suck. If it was BSD based and actively developed the thing would have rocked...

LEROY JENKINS!!!!!! At least I got chicken.

OS is known as Operative System most of the time.
Except when it's known as Operating System.

Awesome PHP plugin for Eclipse. Includes Smarty support also http://phpeclipse.sf.net/
Perl plugin also exists for Eclipse. http://e-p-i-c.sourceforge.net/
welcome our new cephalopod overlords

For 700 bucks I get a DVD burner, 80 Gig HD and the best OS on the planet.
Ah, so you did exactly what I did - bought a nice Athlon system and installed Linux. Good choice!
Ditto here.
