Id released the source for the game a long time ago. I think it was under the gpl, but it may have been something else becuase that was a long time ago, and the gpl wasn't as popular as it is now. They did not release the wad files that contain the levels though just the executable part of the game. You can get the wad files for the first few levels from the shareware version (it actually looks like wildpalm is distributing those with it). So the data file you would be using with the game is actually shareware from id, thus they urge you to buy the full version from id, which checking id's website they apparently still sell. Id didn't own the sound libraries to the original version of doom so those were never released. It looks like wildpalm has sound libraries for the game that they charge you for maybe. Maybe you can get them for free I'm not sure. I would check ftp.idsoftware.com to see if doom was released under the gpl or if it was another licsense that would allow the selling of binary only sound libraries, but I was user 177 of 175 allowed so... yeah.
Then you have the books where are in the Catholic Old Testament but not in the Protestant Old Testament. These are the books most commonly labelled as Apocrypha [nnu.edu].
These books are also in the Eastern Orthodox bible. People always leave out the Eastern Orthodox but they are much older than the Protestants.
This is quite possible now and always has been. It's part of the design of X. The program has to be written to take advantage of it. Few programs are because of security problems with allowing another machine access to the X server.
Resurrect the multi-headed display
This is actually not a problem with X but with linux. The linux code for virtual teminal locking sucks and does not deal properly with the situation. There is a workaround. It was on slashdot this year twice. Once when someone put in an askslashdot on it and another under developers when it came up on I think kernel traffic or linux weekly news. It involves compiling another X server on your system with all the virtual terminal locking code tacken out and it only works kinda sometimes.

If I recall they pulled this same thing last time with os X 10.1 but you ended up being able to get the upgrade cds for free from the the mac stores and also maybe the CompUSA stores. They just didn't tell anyone about it. Not real sure about the CompUSA it might of been somewhere else, but there was another place besides apple's stores.
According to the Microsoft page, Windows can do NFS. Is that true? How well can it do NFS? What versions of Windows can do this? Does anybody know anything about this? Seriously that would be a really cool thing to see, no matter how poorly it did it.
comparing what I learned in ugrad to what others in my classes learned, I would have to say that A&M is a much better curriculum than most
Thanks, I've been worried about not knowing anything and always wondered if other schools were the same, better, worse, or what have you, but I have no basis for comparison. It's good to know other schools are just as bad.
I remember the 1.x versions looked very much like cde (common desktop environment) which was frequently used on commercial unices at the time and still is I believe. Xfce is a window manager that looks like cde now you can check it out if you want to see what cde looks like. Once it hit 2.x it started looking like windows.
They did and they did it first but it supposedly wasn't as bad as what we practiced. The Church didn't like it, even though the Church did end up owning slaves that people left to the Church in their will, and worked to "soften" slavery I guess you could say. The Spanish started with enslaving the Indians, but because it was their homeland they tended to run away and stuff. Africans' will were somewhat broken by the ride over and being in a distant land they wouldn't know where to run to. The Spanish ended slavery about one hundred years before us I think but they had had it earlier than us. It was introduced to us by the Dutch. At first the slaves were treated like indentured servants and freed after a few years but eventually we stopped freeing them.
When were you here? There was a major curriculum change when I came in. It introduced a lot of problems. The unix machines being misconfigured is just something I can say is objectively wrong the other stuff is more subjective. The unix machines state doesn't bother me that much it's just a little annoying. My real problem is the courses are to easy and I don't think I'm learning anything. Maybe when I get out I'll realize I did learn something and the department doesn't suck as much as I thought it did like you did but I don't know. A lot of people entered comp sci during the dot com boom just because and I think the department may have made the courses easier. I'm generally a very cheerful person, but the comp sci department is a bit of a sore spot with me. Everytime I start to think they don't suck they go and do something to prove me wrong.
Your department may very well suck, but the fact that the unix boxes are poorly run does not necessarily make your case.
I know the misconfiguration is just the thing that is the most objectively wrong. There are other problems but they are more subjective.
Most of the courses aren't hard enough.
The advisors seem not to care about students when you go and talk to them.
Some of the professors aren't very good (I had three bad professors in a row - One knew her stuff but had really bad public speaking skills. Another was there to do research and was downright hostile. The class eventually had a meeting with the department head about him he was so bad. The third was a grad student and it was his first time to teach. I think he'll make a good professor one day but he was very inexperienced and kind of didn't know what he was doing.)
Also the curriculum had just been redone when I came in and there were some problems with it. They seem to be aware of the problems with the curriculum and are working to fix it, but it is still a problem. The dot com boom meant a lot of people were in cs because it was the place to be. The department ended up overloaded because it had a lot of people in it. Also since the courses were new their complaining that the courses were to hard was interpreted as legitimate feedback and the courses were then made to easy.
My main problem is the courses being to easy. It feels like I haven't learned anything. But that's a subjective statement that can be easily dismissed as my opinion as can most of the other stuff as either my opinion, bad luck, or both. The misconfiguration is the only thing I can point to that is objectively just plain wrong.
perhaps you should have gone to a different school
Perhaps, I didn't know it was that bad when I came. I didn't really figure it out until I was about a junior so it was pretty much to late to transfer or change majors. A&M is a good school, it's just the comp sci dept that isn't very good right now. They had a major change in the curriculum when I came in. I get the feeling they were better in the past and that they will be better in the future as they fix some of the problems with this curriculum, but that doesn't help me that much. I am probably a bit to harsh when I say they suck, but I'm kind of bitter about not learning much from the dept. UT's department is better than ours but I don't know how well I would have fit in there. I really do like the atmosphere here. Plus the cost of living here is really low. I don't know that I could afford to live in one of the big cities.

So yeah, it looks like he's coming here. This is really amazing because our cs department sucks so much. Until very recently the cs unix servers would not forward X11 connections,/etc/shells was not readable, and ssh keys couldn't be used as a login method. It looks like ypcat passwd still gives me the password file (been meaning to go down there and tell them about that) and neither ypchsh nor chsh is installed so I still can't change my shell. That said they have been improving a lot lately and having talked to an associate head for the department recently they appear to be aware of some of the problems with the curriculum and are going to fix them. Too late for me though. In the four years I've been here I feel like I have learned almost nothing (well from the cs department that is).
If the people who use it to get music/movies/software for free had been gone after in the first place it would be much more than 1% and would be used as a place to find things the copyright holder allowed to be copied. Unsigned artist, indie movies, and such.
The thing I think is interesting about this port is that it puts freebsd on the s/390 while NetBSD isn't. They do say a port of NetBSD to the s/390 would be relatively staightforward though.
My roommate has been wanting to do exactly that for a good while. When he told me he wanted to do it I told him about my instructor for driver's ed who always use to tell us these crazy stories. He told us about this one guy he knew who got really pissed off about people who would come up behind him with their brights on. He went and got a large mirror and hooked it up to a pully system so from the driver's seat he could pull on a cable and the mirror would be raised in the back window thus flashing the person who had their brights on.

It is not in the Open Source community's best interest to try to strongarm or coerce companies to open their source (or to allow interoperability, or any other changes to their business model).
Bullshit. Allowing interoperability is most definitely in the Open Source community's interest and a boycott is a perfectly legal and acceptable means of persuading a company to allow interoperability. It may not be in companies' interest to do such things, but it is certainly in the Open Source community's interest for them to do such things.
But we are not talking about trying to get Blizzard to open their source, allow interoperability, or change their business model. We are talking about asking them to drop a completely baseless nuisance suit against a group of programmers who legitamitely reverse engineered a protocol and provided a server for that protocol. If that affects Blizzard's business model to damn bad.

How much do they cost? I couldn't find the price on the site. I'm not thinking about buying one or anything, just curious.

Intrestingly enough NetBSD does not run on the 390.
