  1. Re:http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Vista/65 on GCC-based IDE's for DOS? · · Score: 1

    >I can remember the days building Allegro on my Pentium 75! I was there...and it doesn't seem that long ago now does it?

  2. Re:The World Trade Center apparently never existed on History of Video Games · · Score: 1

    Nah, I think it has more to do with the fact that to make the games current, they need a current landscape. It would make the games look newer if they did not include the towers. Just changing with the times, trying to keep up as usual.

  3. Re:Unprejudiced evaluation on Linux During The .Com Crash · · Score: 1

    You're right. SO I get what, 2/5ths chance of the thing crashing with a random install of windows, and little to none with a random distro of linux, both correctly set up, running many apps?

  4. Re:Windows is cheaper than linux in russia on Linux During The .Com Crash · · Score: 1

    Well, that would depend on what distro you got. Besides, most of the 'extra' (beyond discs) are taken up with programs.

  5. Re:Fast way to dispel that myth on Perception of Linux Among IT Undergrads · · Score: 1

    Ok, so you've already provided more info for the windows case.

  6. Re:you have that backwards on Sony vs Modchips · · Score: 1

    Or perhaps links that actually work....

  7. Re:It's not really that bad on Grand Theft Auto Still Banned Down Under · · Score: 1

    > My Best Buy can hardly keep the bloody game in > stock. Wait a minute...what do you mean YOUR local wal-mart? Sorry, the 'bloody' gave it away, YOU ARE AUSTRALIAN!

  8. Re:Try it on grandma. on Linux Making Inroads, But Not At Windows' Expense · · Score: 1

    //Linux on the other hand is less intuitive to //somebody who is already familiar with the //Windows they are running on their own PC. Duh. Just as Windows is less intuitive to somebody who is already familiar with Windows they are running on their own PC...it would seem then that the most 'intuitive' OS is the one that the person already knows how to use... In other words, if you want linux to be more 'intuitive', you jsut have to start more people on it, rather than have them start on windows... Or rather, actually make the OS more intuitive, such as many people claim that the Mac OS is.

  9. Re:combating privacy on RIAA to DoS Pirates? · · Score: 1

    Just a nitpick: Music CD's that you buy at the store are stamped, not burnt.

  10. Re:but _that_ is not my privacy concern... on Samsung Releases GPS Phone · · Score: 1

    I believe he means that the phone can send the location, and get they can get the information he wants, but he would rather they then delete his location and not save or log where he is....or sell this info to other people.

  11. Cutting off oil on US Starts Attacking Afghanistan · · Score: 1

    Haha, I'd tend to agree, but it would take quite some time for the planet to get back in shape concerning power distribution, alternate power methods, and transportation...other than a lot of lost time (which shouldn't have been lost, we should have converted long ago...), no harm done.

  12. Re:Whose war? on US Starts Attacking Afghanistan · · Score: 1

    Wow, I find this an amazing piece of stupidity. Instead of attacking and killing one enemy, and creating 10 more, ask "Why would someone like Osama want to attack us?". Then, when you have come up with the answer, remove what is irritating him. And anyone else. Stop controlling other nations, and keep our big warheads to ourselves. Don't get involved in other people's wars. Maybe then terrorists would not have a reason to attack the US.

  13. Any info on British Researchers Say Fusion Is Close · · Score: 1

    Anyone have any more info on texas A&M?
