The problem is not the mouse. The mouse is fine.
The problem is that the arm you are attempting to interface the mouse with is incompatible and must be replaced with a newer version.
That's the thing, though.
In the past there was really only one system at a time that RPGs were made for. In the 8 bit days, it was the NES. In the 16 bit days, the SNES.
People didn't buy Sega for RPGs, they bought it for sports.
Each console has its niche. For the NGC, it is arguably children. (Flames aside, I know there are excellent games geard towards adults, but it's more a children's/party system than anything else).
With the XBOX, its the gamerz. Hence the FPS and Simulators (crimson skies, mech assault, etc).
The PS2 is primarily for RPGs and strategy games. We have to remember that this was developed for the adults in Japan, and the NGC was for the kids in Japan.
Their views of games are a lot different than ours.
For the most part (from what I've read on review boards et.al) they prefer a somewhat intellectually stimulating game to an end-of-the-world nuclear free-for-all FPS.
This is why there are a variety of exclusive stealh-tactics games (SOCOM, Spliter Cell [for the first few months], MGS2 [and 3 coming soon]), RPGs (75% of Square/Enix's library, Xenosaga,.hack 1-4), puzzle games (ICO), and synaesthasia/twitch-games (Rez, Frequency/Amplitude, DDR*).
When buying a console you buy the one you want for the games you play. That's the way it has always been and I for one hope that's the way it will stay.
when exactly did Slackware loose "The distribution with attitude" feeling?
Slack... attitude?
I think you're sorely mistaken, my friend...
Slack has no attitude, and is IMHO very apathetic.
It doesn't really care if you want to use.deb,.rpm, or the wonderful.tgz.
On top of that, it doesn't care about dependencies, or really anyone else's upgrade path.
It (Pat) does the things it wants, when it wants, and it does them well.
I haven't thought of a use for spring and summer yet...
Here are a few for you:
Drowning out your popular neighbour's annoyingly loud parties.
Scaring local children away from using your collection of WH40K and AD&D miniatures in their sandbox
General civil disbedience (read: unsightly yard, excessive noise, etc...)
I'd argue that the XBOX has a higher percentage of good games, only because there are a lot more games for the PS2. Therefor the signal to noise ratio is higher.
The PS2 has, IMHO, better games than the XBOX, with the exception of Halo (of which I'm not a huge fan, but I'm waiting for Halo2)

In D&D there is no 'Nuke'; being set in the dark ages and all.
However, that theif in the party (rogue in DnD?) that we gave the vorpal weapon and cloak of invisibility usually did a good job of cleaning out the room...
As an aside, since backstab does 2x damage, and a vorpal weapon turns people into cranially-challenged individuals, does that mean they also lose... never mind...
They should put the number's real name, write it out in digits, and-or use scientific notation (or a variant like C-style "e notation")
Ok, but the question remains... exactly how many VW Bugs is that? I mean that is the new standard for measuring displacement, just as LOC is the standardized measurement of data size, is it not?
...your friendly neghbourhood assembler is a phone call away. Linux does not have this advantage.
I call bullshit on this.
If you're installing linux in a corporate environment, either you know how to use it yourself, or the IT manager (who was a good enough salesman to actually get it past the PHB) knows it well, and can support it.
If you're installing it at home, its either because you know how to use it and support it, or your friend (who knows it) installed it for you, and can support it.
If you're installing it because you know it yourself, chances are you've got another PC kicking around (because really, they're cheap, and leftovers on an upgrade path are your friend). This is what you use to get online when your NIC is down.
With regards to your NIC problem, edit your init scripts so it doesn't try to start anything but your particular NIC. If `modprobe tulip` isn't in your init scripts, and tulip.o isn't compiled into your kernel, it will not try to start.
True enough, but most slackers know how to quickly restart somethign as simple as dhcpcd.
As well, aside from the hostname to send (in the case of some broadband connections, like mine from Rogers/AT&T) most will know which interface is live and which is local.
Slack's scripts aren't for n00bs, but they're not all that difficult though. As well, it's fairly easy to mod one of the ready-made rc.* scripts to start the service you need. Anyone with even light scripting experience should be able to do that.
You want ssh?/etc/rc.d/sshd start
Apache?/etc/rc.d/rc.httpd start
Samba?/etc/rc.d/rc.samba start
Same goes for nfsd, inetd, gpm, cups, bind, acpid, etc...
rc.6 for restart, rc.0 is statically linked to it to make sure they're always the same.
rc.S is called on runlevel 1 by default, as rc.M is called for 3.
On top of that, if you like your System 5 scripts, call rc.sysvinit.
It's not that they made bad design choices... it's that they didn't abandon them years ago like everyone else did.
I mean really, how many passenger aircraft do you see anymore that are:
a) made of wood and string
b) use some sort of cloth for the wing
c) can actually fly at low (i.e. 10mph in a headwind) speeds?
The whole problem is that Intel is still using the x86 architecture (8 bit) with a bunch of kludges thrown in to make it support a lot of the new functions and ideas we've come up with since the 70s.
Sure, I live in toronto too... and a single bottle of water does run $1-$2, more if you're at a club (I've payed as much as $4.75).
The bottled water that your parent is talking about, however, is the bottled distilled water you buy at the supermarket.
I believe it comes in 10 or 20L bottles, and they're cheap... much cheapter than gasoline by volume.
No, telling her you're networking is fine... she'll think you're an MBA or something, not knowing any better.
