Think of it this way, if the linux desktop is so great, why can't I can copy text from my shell window into my e-mail app and web browser? Why can't I drag a file from the file manager into my e-mail message and have it become an attachment?
Umm you can. If you are in X, just highlight and middle click on your target. If you wanna trash linux, feel free. But use one of the valid pitfalls, not imaginary ones.
We play the only games out :
Quake 3
Wolfenstein
Neverwinter Nights
UT 2003
Windows XP
It seems like a common trend... Shoot people or hack people or kill hard drives.
I recall that the M16A2 was designed to be less lethal. I forget the extent, but the Discovery/History/Learning channel had a thing on less than lethal wepaons and the current M16A2 revision was listed. IIRC it had something to do with not wanting to kill the soldiers, but to arrest their leader. We can take the injured soldiers prisoner and move on.
I suppose that is nothing more than heresay... but thought I would throw that in there.
In regards to the second topic -- you are way off base. I have used SuSE, Red Hat and just got my hands on LindowsOS and must say that it is just as simple as WindowsXP/98 SE was. Its click on a button, it checks for updated rpms/debs and it asks which ones you want. Then it downloads and installs them.
How does it get easier to update?
I seriously think he had that misworded. I think what was intended to be said was that its a pain in the ass to try to prevent algae in a situation like his. Algae growing inside the piping has to becom problematic over 6-9 months I would guess.
I agree. I got several buddies hooked on linux by giving them a copy of RedHat, and a short (as you already know) and easy 3 line install instructional on how to get apt-rpm and synaptic and how to use it. In fact you cant make it any easier.
"Hmm, lets install this program here..."
CLICK CLICK
Waits as modem/NIC downloads the selection and all deps... Tum de dum...
Finished.
"Alrighty. Now off to Frozen Bubble!"
Hey, how is gaming on one of these? Compared to a normal mouse, can one "learn" to be equally proficient and accurate with this mouse?
I am really interested in this particular one. It is optical, has more buttons, and does seem ALOT smaller.
I (and possibly others) would love to know. I am very close to making an order.
Hey, not sure if this is your problem, it probably isn't but try Tools->Options->Advanced->Default_Open_Mode->Share d. Works for me in an environment with ten or so people all using the one database at once.
Mod this guy up -- he recalled what I did not. And it is MOST accurate. Read my above post for more info.
I used to work for a company that, at one point, had ~70 employess that nearly all needed access to one or more of a dozen.mdb files on an NT4 fileserver. No problem whatsoever to get all of them to work together. The one issue that I had yet to see or hear about its' resolution, was a safe way to keep the idiot user from trashing the db when (s)he quits out imporperly.
Seriously, the parent here is most correct. This was at an all WinBlows shop, except my terminal;D But nonetheless you should not be having issues.
Not just Verizon acts like that, Ameritech has acted like that for at minimum 3 years. Prolly since day 1. They dick with more than hi-cap customers though, the CLEC residential customers get dicked too.
I worked for one CLEC to SBC/Ameritech. This was the norm for them.
I second his motion.
Twice now I have been burnt by Reiser. Granted the first time can be very easily attributed to the infancy of the FS itself, but the last time (about a year ago) was inexcusable.
Ext on the other hand, has been very nice to work woth, once in a blue moon repair, and upgrade. I was able to migrate my Ext2 partition to Ext3 VERY easily. I didnt have to worry about the integrity of the data.
Considering that I would literally have to WORK at not finding a tool to assist me in a crisis with Ext -- I feel at this point its a no brainer.
Now, I would like to ask this one qwuestion however : RedHat pumped an assload of time and money into ext3. Has anyone done the same for Reiser? I realize that Mandrake, Slackware and SuSE have included it as an FS option for quite some time (whereas RedHat has not).
Actaully I thought that too -- but then I noticed the little box with desciptions that animate and soforth.
Not needed, but purrty. Its nice, but as aforementioned is going to make his webmaster a bit "touchy"
I bought a Diamond TNT V550 the week it came out and last February the fan finally died. I bought a socket 7 fan/heatsink and thermal glued it to the GPU. It works BETTER now with the extra cooling than when the crummy original was still good. Proves that proper cooling helps.
that thinks that this is more costly than its really worth? To me -- it looks like this is going to be an up and down job..... okay..... Cool, but there is alot of money involved. Wouldnt it be much more cost effective to do at least an orbit, and come down?
Dont get me worng, alot more homework is involved, but still....
Well you miss out on the safedisc code. That means any games that require safdisc to run wont. The workaround I suppose is on a windoze box run a safedisc crack on the iso and re-burn it.
Playing with inelligent people, RS is just great. Act stupid, your team is wiped out. When someone dies, that person is dead. Different actions create different sounds. To me this is the best game series EVER made, (ZORK being a close second).
I love strategy, and this is one game that doesn't allow the "Run in and shoot everything that moves" type of games (not that Quake3 sucks, no strategy).
Slashdot Mirror
Not a bad point really.
When and how do you think Red Hat will overtake Wintel on the desktop?
What types of alliances will Red Hat be making to bring Red Hat to a PC sold in Best Buy, CompUSA, Circuit City, etc ?
How has the move to Fedora Linux aided your work on Red Hat Enterprise Linux ?
What changes shall we (the Linux community) expect in the near and long term from Red Hat?
Thanks much!

Censorship doesnt require a goverment body, just someone with power or control.

Actually they have a deal with Red Hat, SuSE, and TurboLinux.

Myabe that is why she is grinning ?
So is that what happened to that CP/M guy ...

Nintendo has been only pumping their own games out. Its sad that the Xbox, Linux, and Macs have more games than the Game Cube.

yeah, my athlon 900 with a geforce 2 shit draws fast, and I cant see any windows being drawn. Must have been a flaky X11 driver for your vga card.

OSS has essentially created peer - to - peer network technology. Napster IIRC did have an open codebase, and then theres Gnutella.
