PC gaming seems to be a lot more popular in mainland europe than in the UK and US, I know a lot more PC gamers than console gamers and dutch gaming sites also give PC gaming a lot of coverage... So yeah I agree there.
I started to care about the characters so much that I was kinda sad when it ended, the story was so fun and over the top while the characters where great. It's one of my games of the year.
I don't know about you but the music of the Ace Attorney games has been great in my opinion, especially the cornered themes of 1 and 2, the gyakuten sisters theme and godot's theme. (Fragrance of Dark Coffee)
The orchestrated and jazz albums are definitely worth listening too.
Gears also had a modified cover system that's a lot different than games made in your 93-99 range. You are seriously citing a cover system as progress? Sure it's a nice addition but how exactly is this innovative? It's like saying that some new weapon in an FPS is innovation...
What about the story that bioshock is telling? The ethical twist it puts on gameplay. Or the sheer fact that massive worlds add a new dimension to gameplay that were unavailable on your "golden aged" consoles? In this case, I can easily say that form led function, not the other way around. Story telling existed before bioshock, it's one of the reason I miss good adventure games... The ethical twist is also not new and has existed in more interesting and more gameplay affecting ways in say... fallout. Massive worlds have been a good innovation if used well, I'm a big GTA fan because of the cities and I would have loved oblivion if it wasn't the most boring and drab world I've ever walked through.
Off course it's worth trying to stay in a genre and do it better but to call a "shooter, but now you can take cover!" or a "shooter but with a story!" as experimental as other games is an insult for the few game makers these days that actually try something really different. (And usually fail because most "hardcore" gamers feel immature if their game doesn't contain copious amounts of blood, gore and guns...)
It's a party which cares more for the people than for economuc numbers, face it, the last govt went so much for saving (on the wrong things if I may add) that the poorest people in our society actually became poorer. For such a rich country as the Netherlands this is NOT acceptable...
Further the SP has left the maoistic model ages ago and I still want them to change name to "Sociale Partij" (Social Party) instead of "Socialistische Partij" (Socialistic Party) if only to get rid of a lot of the fear some people have of them...
Dunno, drug use isn't a problem, none of my friends use, neither do they go to whores... I see this more as a tourist attraction than anything else, especially the americans get off on it, bless their simple hearts.
And I love indian food and there are enough restaurants for that here.
But then again I like Amsterdam but to be honest if I would move out of Ams. I would move out of the country...
Hmmmz, I think most of the problems you have are because you moved to a small place. I live in Amsterdam myself and almost everything is open on sunday, hell my local supermarket will even be open on christmas this year... And the big cities in.nl are probably the least religious in the world.
Trains are indeed a hell these days, consider it a warning how privatization can make things worse really fast. Rush hours are bad I heard but as I cycle everywhere (like most city dwellers do) I never really notice it.
Can I ask where you live cause here in the netherlands nintendo has been quite popular since the NES the only flop to a point was the cube but everybody I know has been talking like mad about the Wii so I think the Wii will do great in the netherlands and I think europe as a whole.
Here is my list of tools I can't live with in my admin life:
#1: vim (My editor of choice for anything) #2: netcat (beats telnet for the network testing forte) #3: ssh-agent/ssh (for secure remote logins and other nice tricks (like tarring over ssh) #4: nmap (for a quick network scan to see what hosts are up in an unknown network or an in depth portscan of a particular machine) #5: perl (who needs shell script when you have perl;)) #6: mtr (cause traceroute is sooooo 1980's) #7: screen (for those long taking operations on a bad network connection) #8: grep (the all purpose filter/text finder with -r) #9: find (flexible find/recursive operations tool) #10: host (quicker and easier name resolves than dig)
I've just tested this and KDE does exactly what you want.
I don't know what's so great about gnome as opposed to KDE, last time I've tested GNOME I just couldn't feel comfortable in it on Ubuntu Hoary. What does GNOME have that KDE doesn't except the terminal emulator that lags your entire machine when it has to display a lot of output. Furthermore GNOME was more unstable than KDE and KDE seems a lot snappier too.
Sorry, don't mean to start a flame war but I'm genuinely curious what GNOME has to offer besides hard to find "advanced" settings.
heh, that sounds almost exactly like my favourite solution, FreeBSD, postfix, amavisd-new, clamav, spamassassin, maildrop, courier and squirrelmail.
I wouldn't use webmin just for web based e-mail management tho, for a small to medium site I've found postfixadmin a very nice solution. It uses the database extendability in both courier and postfix to make managing users and domains a snap. (And as maildrop uses couriers authlib as well it will find the mailboxes perfectly).
The maildrop and the amavisd-new configuration are the hardest in this entire scenario but except how you can fit maildrop in there it's all documented very well, posfixadmin has a howto for the entire setup.
Can you please explain me what is wrong with "you're my first foe" or "you're sad" cause as far as I know you're is a contraction of you are and you are sad sounds quite correct.
Maybe next time learn the language before you're going to correct someone on it...
And I'm not even a native english speaker... *sigh*
I like the balloons more than the 2 gaim options, the flashing systray icon is too subtle sometimes (especially on a high resolution screen) and the pop up way is way too disruptive... I like the balloons because it doesnt take focus or open up new windows without asking but does show you there is a new incoming message.
I see in the screenshot that you use gaim, can I ask you why you use gaim instead of kopete as gaim is in my opinion one of the most annoying apps I have ever used, the interface of kopete is so much less disturbing. (The balloons for incoming messages, the way it handles disconnects) I have used gaim for quite a while but since I've used kopete I came to despise gaim but maybe I've overlooked something.
think of the crazy shit you've searched for late on a Saturday night
The only thing I search for on a sat. night is for the cutest girl in the club/bar where I'm at and I doubt google has that "query" saved somewhere...;)
Slashdot Mirror
You should really look into netcat to replace telnet for troubleshooting, it can do that and is a lot more flexible.
SpamAssassin

Rare to see other Drum and Bass heads on slashdot.
Also try these:
Black sun empire, dark dutch DnB
Noisia, great neurofunk
Teebee, just try this
Calyx, again good neurofunk

Not too flame, but the US election outcome came on this site, so show some love to your dutch brethren. :)
Allthough anti-homosexualism isn't really a left vs right argument but more a conservative vs progressive argument.
The christian democrats here (CDA) are opposed to gay marriage, euthanasia, soft drugs etc while our most prominent right winged party (VVD) isn't.
The left winged party also has no problems with these issues.
To put them on a left v. right schale has no use here in the netherlands...

Here is my take:
20%: PS3
30%: 360
50%: Wii
I noticed that in the 24 season with the bioweapon when Jack and Chase went to see the guy in Jail the scanner was running KDE as well.
Anyone have a screen capture?
Here is my list of tools I can't live with in my admin life:

#1: vim (My editor of choice for anything)
#2: netcat (beats telnet for the network testing forte)
#3: ssh-agent/ssh (for secure remote logins and other nice tricks (like tarring over ssh)
#4: nmap (for a quick network scan to see what hosts are up in an unknown network or an in depth portscan of a particular machine)
#5: perl (who needs shell script when you have perl
#6: mtr (cause traceroute is sooooo 1980's)
#7: screen (for those long taking operations on a bad network connection)
#8: grep (the all purpose filter/text finder with -r)
#9: find (flexible find/recursive operations tool)

Sorry didn't notice the second mistake and that you where replying to yourself. I read over shit to easily.

I have one of these as well, its very responsive too, if it had 2 other buttons it would kill in FPS games. ;) I love the trackman.

I hear about this bug often here, but I'm using firefox 0.9.3 and I haven't seen this bug at all, what version is this bug in?
