The snes controller was good, many fond memory of hours of game play, although I did manage to get blisters on my thumbs from too much street fighter2. At first I thought the psx controller was odd, but once you get used to it its pretty damned good.
I wanna know why he hasn't included metroid, metroid is one of the great gameboy games
I sit just me or are they releasing a new kernel each week, could this be cause for the past few revisions there has not been enough testing, I highly doubt that a week's worth of testing is sufficient for a new core to an operating system.
Not even m$ release "hotfixes" this fast its starting to get (well already is) very annoying.
I wouldn't call them SciFi, but they are good shows
My fave sci-fi shows would have to be ST: Voyager Farscape, Quantum leap, Time Trax (probably doesn't fit), ST: DS9, SG-1 and ofcourse older episodes of X-Files.
Unfortunately I haven't seen quantum leap inabout 8 years and farscape hasn't been put back on this year (bastards)
I recently had to install Mandrake 8 for TAFE, I found it easier to install and alot quicker than windows NT..not to mention prettier. I also found kde2 much better.
I've been using linux for a while (mainly console) But others in my class who are mostly windows junkies where awed by kde2... most of them prefered it to WinNT and also found it alot easier to get setup, mainly the network printer.
Most of our notes for that subject are in.pdf, so a few that looked found out that mandrake came with a pdf viewer and used it rather than switching back to windows and installing acrobat (well those of us that had copied the files to local drive). Then came the problem of reading other notes which are.doc, I suggested star office after making sure it worked. others looked around and found other packages that could do it and where surprised that they could and that mandrake just came with these things they would have to pay for in windows.
I think once people are exposed to linux, and given a chance to play they can easily be bought over to the light side thre are just so many advantages to it.
I frequently mispell words and use poor grammar, but its not due to games its just because i'm lazy. But I dont use the abbreviations of your or you and many of the others.
And I do sometimes use old english type words such as "thou" and "thy" but the only reason i do is because I like them.
While games may encourage logical thinking, or puzzle solving skills as well as hand eye coordination i think they also affect peoples social skills in a negative way.. the same can be said for online chat (except it doesn't have the benefits).. I know its affected me
I dont completely agree with this study ------------
The reason there are clones of the games you mentioned is because they work. not to mention how much of a pain it would be to create new genre's of games.
I'm a big fan of War strategy games, First one I played was Dune (Which is what C&C is a "clone" off). In my experience the "clones" are better than the originals I love playing C&C but I prefer Total Annihilation but on the other hand I prefer quake to the QII and QIII.
Its like movies when they find something that works they stick too it, without realiseing people get tired of the same thing (Screen1-3, I know what you did last summer, I still know what you did last summer, I have a freind who knows someone who mentioned something about what you did a few summers back). ------------
Well now that Gillian and david have left the show it will go down like a lead pigion. I mean at certain stages they have had some real bs, but with the stars gone it has no chance tis a shame:( ------------
my gateway is up 68 days. thats a little more than the 20mins you claim, although it isn't running X when I ran X on my PC it went fine, once I got it configured I had no problem with it in fact the GUI with some WM's was preferable to windows
<Asking for flame>
As for drag and drop who needs it? its a feature for idiots who are unable to learn keyboard shortcuts or lack the coordination to right click.
</Asking for flame>
I do agree with some of what you said some of the GUI's dont look too good, but then again they haven't been in the making for the past 10 years like windos and other os'. Not that you should need a GUI to use a machine
Here I have 2 98SE machines, my personal box which is dual boot 2k/debian and my gateway which is lackware.. although I rarely use debian as I have a shitty sound card that I can't seem to gt working (not that I tried too hard).
I dont think its worldwide, I know its celebrated in many countries other than Ireland. I put it down to the fact that large number of irish people live is different countries and like most people bring their customs with them. But i could be wrong i could just be that ireland wants to have mass organised pissups in their name ------------
It only has a 30min battery.. this would suck that means they would have to recharge 48 times a day. and what would they do if the heart happened to stop working? i think the person would be royally fucked. While i realise they are only testing it on people who have very little time left here, it culd either be lengthend or shortened by this device. I'm all for the exploration into finding alternative to relying on transplants but having to recharge every 30mins wont allow them to lead a normal life.
This problem is due to untrained/inexperienced admins who do not know what daemon uses what port and have no clue about how to read logs.
The other cause is as someone has already said idiot users with some personal "firewall" softwarethat complains about ever single connection to or from their machine, and they have no idea what it means.
113 (identd) is used primarily for irc but it is also used by some websites (also part of CGI specifaction) as well as mail servers.
If these "admins" where logging 110 activity and had a pop3d they would prolly complain to themselves they are that stupid.
I personally would only consider a connection hostile if it was on an unkown port or it was the same thing over and over in a very short space of time, other than that they are just interesting.
Most script kiddies dont even run *nix, they buy (or card) shell accounts learn some basics visit rootshell and beging thinking they are cool, half of them couldn't install it if they had to.
Saying script kiddies use it therefore its captured the market is plain stupid script kiddies make up only a very small (but annoying) share of computer users. When your average no clue 12yo is playing HOMAM on linux then it would have truely captured the market. Until then its a platform for those who want to try something decent ------------
The 13-17 year olds that would be using 'l33t speak' shit in there passes aren't geeks they are script kiddies
I personally have about 6-10 passwords and use them for most things, good thing is i only have to try 6-10 passes on stuff if i forget a pass bad thing someone guesses one of the passes they might be able to access multiple things.. its just finding what i use and the right password. None of my passwords are written down but I tend to store them in dir on my comp... incase i forget.. but this still doesn't have all my passes.
I thought only the ruling was thrown out the door, all the findings and the like have been passed down to a trial court, which could give the same ruling as jackson or even worse.... spose it doesn't matter either way because until microsoft win they will just keep appealing. ------------
I too hope they will be optional. I enjoy seeing what my system actually does when it restarts (on the rare occasion that it does) not just selected errors ------------
