I'm getting sick of english remarks, they don't accomplish anything nor do they really prove anything about the original author. No need to blame it on a seperate language.
GNU/Linux (that's the first time I've used that title for what is properly known as Linux) isn't a good term. Stallman can cry all he wants to about how GNU tools are used on top of Linux, but it really doesn't make a difference. GNU tools are used on top of MANY oses and those folks don't have to rename themselves to GNU/<os>. I would agree to call each distribution by its name as they do quite a bit of work to set themselves apart from each other. But never would I call anything GNU/<something> because Linux is Linux if it has GNU on top of it or not. GNU is used in enough places that it can be its own product without Linux's help. I'm not going to rename any projects I do GNU/<project> because they use GNU tools, and as far as I've seen nobody has suggested to do so. With that, there isn't a good reason for me to call Linux by any other name.
How is the stability on PHP5 doing? I haven't gotten to try it out just yet, but this interests me. The stability of this library also interests me of course!:)
So you're going to pay a dollar per track for the crap audio file when the cd is about the same price... Even if you buy an entire album for 9.99 you're not far off of the CD price. Though I'm not at all in tune with CDN prices. If I'm going to pay that much, I'll get the CD quality tracks.
So you're not only creating a coaster, but you're spending quite a bit of time getting these files into mp3 format. And then in the end you've re-encoded the file meaning even worse quality. No thanks.
I've recently gotten a Personal Iris 4d/35 - 36Mhz baby. It's a monster though, 96mb ram and the upgraded sound/video. IRIX 5.3 runs great with netscape and all, AUI transciever to get it onto the wired. Weighs 70lbs and the monitor's about the same. The monitor sent me over laughing from having a huge (and very loud) fan. The monitor's louder than the machine.
Well, I see these players going down the tubes. I didn't use the phrasing quite right. iRiver transfers directly as a USB removable drive. This has perks vs many that force you into odd softwares (OpenMG minidiscs anybody?) While I dislike many of these things, a pure transfer is nice. These download media folks are nearly forcing me into pirating since they're distributing AAC/Protected WMA (Yes, it's been cracked) and that's not so great.
MS getting rid of MacIE was one piece of it yes, but I'd hardly say they had to replace it in that situation. It was hardly kept up to begin with and most intellegent (heh...) mac users ended up using other browsers anyway. (Chimera/Camino anybody?)
While MS may have made the official statment that led Apple to creating Safari, it really doesn't matter. All that matters is that kHTML is in the hearts of all of the mac minions to stay.
Yes, I owned (past tense) a mac and know exactly how badly MacIE sucks. I don't really think very much higher of Safari either. It's fast, but there's more to a browser than being fast. Though they may have fixed many of the problems I found in recent times.
iRiver has my vote. No DRM for me, though I'm starting to wonder if I'll be able to get any legal music to play on it anytime soon with all of the people selling DRM laden music. Hum guess the music industry will force me into pirating.
I played it for a few weeks straight and haven't really been back to my character. When I was playing there were huge issues with all of the rebel and imperials that were logging on at 3:00PM on the dot and being immature. I didn't find anywhere near enough roleplaying in the game for what it's title is. That said I'm almost scared to go back into it seeing the bug issues are still fairly high.
Has anybody found the Key of the Twilight yet? I'm just sure it's on Tatooine somewhere
Correct. If the browser wars were over, then Apple wouldn't have ditched MS for kHTML. I for one am not fond of kHTML at all from experience with it rendering pages in whatever way it pleases, but it still boosts the non-ms browser users. Mozilla on the other hand is pushing out new products and seems to be prospering in the wake of getting cut by AOL. Even with these facts, Mozilla still today is a MUCH better choice and innovates every day. MS seems to have forgotten exactly how most people surf the internet, and it's sadly bugged to hell.
I doubt that Opera has much of a chance at going very far, but at least with Apple's help, other browsers are looking to the public. Mozilla is very polished now, and Firebird is useable. I don't see the browser wars even tamed for the moment. They just aren't in US courts now.
Though I just did it again and it's working right with "sco linux" - and several of his examples are multiword. Still, it isn't very reliable, I get quite a few 404s (as the comments in his blog suggest)
I've got more than a few 80mm DVD discs, I'd really rather they didn't slot load them. A good example is the Metropolis DVD - it's features are all on a seperate 80mm DVD. While I don't always care about extras, I'd rather be able to see what they are than own a slot loader.
The numbers say it didn't hurt StarWars too bad to release an entire game at beta status. Who's so worried about demos?
Besides, if you steal the source code to certin long awaited games not to mention any names, you can debug, write patches, hack, and write mods for games ahead of time.
You didn't look at the functionality. The email you used is a backup, an optional form field. I saw your message go through the system (it sends an admin copy). The primary function looks up the regular names used in the form field f2name, which is lined to the admin's list of names.
I can't comment on the quality of Blizzard's anti-cheating effort, all I can comment on is the hypocrisy that you're putting forward. Two wrongs dont make a right if it's first your wrong or not. Cheating to anti-cheat the cheaters still ruins the game for those who are working not to cheat at all. If any of that made sense.
Money related or not, Blizzard is showing more effort than many games online which is good. Constantly I see folks selling their exploited items on StarWars galaxies, problems that still aren't solved, but that game is also actively being worked upon.
Somebody got 0wnz0r3d by the big company and wants to pout about it.
Really man, good ethics say that a lesser wrong is still a wrong. I don't see how you can possibly think Blizzard had no right to boot you, nor do I see how you can possibly think it's "unfair" to boot you. Either way, you played the dirty game and you paid for it. I'd give you a cookie, but instead I'll just tell you to go buy one yourself, as it doesn't sound like you can do anything for yourself.
Kudos, that puts you one up against the statistics. I was not sarcastic welcoming parental control:)
I would agree that many of the game ratings are quite off, though it can sometimes be hard to tell which ones are serious and which ones aren't. It helps to have a parent in the know of video games which is a benefit that you seem to have over many parents. This may sound cynical but I wonder why the games are evil activists haven't started an awareness campaign on these games outside of the ERSB railings. Surely they don't just accept ERSB to be perfect? Personally I'd think a cool headed site with thoughts from real parents about different ERSB ratings on games would be grand. A sort of reference to see what others think of the game and such.
ERSB is great really, but it also promotes the sort of ideals from kids who can't get into rated 'R' movies. This is the 'Something's in there that I can't have and I want to try it out' idea that almost everybody under 18 (and then under 21 of course) gets sometime in their life.

Any user opinions there?

That would fall in line with my thoughts as to being a pretty sad situation :)
I checked and Ion Storm doesn't even list Daikatana on their list of produced games.
That's almost as sad as... well I can't think of anything worse at the moment.
You made a mistake:

Linksys likes Linux.

It would seem that it only works for one word searches.
"sco" works, where "sco linux" does not work. I'd really look forward to this for my daily dose of SCO news...

See signature for a form mailer that uses mysql to lookup email addresses based on english names :)
Good luck 'proving' it correct. Though a very sound theory may come out of the whole thing.
