Does anyone know what the high and holy Christian wives of America are saying about this game? It would seem that with all the vigor they go after FPS games that one sponsored/endorsed by the Government would have them crying to their rich influential D.C. husbands.
begin sarcasm: I mean, we all know this game is going to single-handedly put into motions thousands of school shootings as well as modern-day witch hunts by vigilante wacko's looking for terrorists.
So what browser was Taco using that he was able to see the site? Why would he post a site that a large amount of/. readers can't see? I'm using Netscape 6.2.1 and I can't even view the Sharp site.
I'm impressed...I had to scroll down more than half the comments section to find the "i'm so fucking great for knowing about this before slashdot" post.
Then again, I guess that's a little slow for slashdot. I was banking on seeing this as the third comment.
No doubt servers are getting hammered for the upgrade..however, if you specified in your ports-supfile NOT to get ALL the ports (which you might have already done; I'm just saying to make sure), it'd probably be much quicker. Especially if it's been a while since your ran cvsup for the ports.
makes a lot more sense and is easier to remember. the process is very very similar with any other upgrade or fresh install.

"("I'm sorry, I can't read your.doc file. Could you reformat it to take out this feature which StarOffice can't handle?" "It's a freaking Word document! How hard does it have to be for you to read it?!")"
Have you used staroffice or do you just enjoy spreading more FUD? Maybe you just like to see your words in print... Anyways, 5.2 handled.doc's for me just fine, ones created in officeXP and then modified and saved in staroffice5.2 and then transmitted back to officeXP. 6.0 is supposed to be even better although I missed out on the beta trial time period.
How the hell could someone partly responsible for "Cyberpunk" and "Takedown" even be considered a Journalist? Much less win awards years later?
Who are the idiots responsible for these awards? Linus responsible for "establishing" Open Source? NOT! (no disrespect to the man but jesus, he didn't invent fire either) Shawn Fanning?! That is soooo two years ago.
I hope I'm misreading/misinterpreting "a whole building into a T3".
I'd eat that up so quick it'd make your head spin. QOS'ing would be no more difficult/easy than any other application, but it _would_ make speeds suck.
Besides, I'm not sure how good of an idea this really is. These buildings would be concentrated warez camps, making it too easy for the feds.
Screw it, I want fiber run to every house, not just in fancy too expensive to afford apartments, but I guess it has to start somewhere.
A password prompt at install is not something only Microsoft has decided to not bother with. I recall MySQL not forcing me to set one either. Although it tells me too, it doesn't force it.
But then, why should an "admin" be forced to set any passwords at all? These are the genius' who would use "god" or "password" as a password anyway.
It's just something that is so common sense as to be ridiculous.
One man shooting himself into outer space wouldn't "kill NASA". Building space stations, going to the moon, getting rovers on Mars...etc is what the NASA teams have done.
People comparing this over-optimistic competition (I'm being generous in my choice of adjectives...it's a holiday) to feats achieved by NASA's scientists do nothing but belittle some of the finest minds in the world.
Actually, I think watercooling is cool (no pun intended). I don't however think $250 for a case is low...
"Koolance builds it all for you and gives you instructions and tech support on it"...haha..tech support on my case. and that ISN'T for the geek who "probably would never have even heard of watercooling"?
I still think the $250 price tag attached is to high...making it a niche market.
They say they target Overclockers and Power Users. I think they meant "We target that geek who needs every new god damn toy for his computer no matter what the cost". That's someone who thinks Mhz is the most important part of the equation. NOT a Power User.
I overclock, but I do it to get the most bang for my buck. The extra money I'd spend on this case would be better used on buying other improved system parts, not just pushing my Mhz that much higher. (think SCSI hard drive)

Oh Joy!!

I prefer using ports. I find that
/root/ports-supfile /usr/ports/security/openssh
#cvsup -g -L 2
#cd
#make
#make install
#kill [openssh PID# here]
#/usr/local/sbin/sshd

/me looks over at the powermac's 1ghz dual G4's with 2MB cache each already selling. /me shrugs. nothing to see here.
