What good is free software, if you don't know how to use it? It's worthless... or worse, it's costly, because you have to invest your time into learning (or even inventing) stuff...
Most of you talk about africa like it's some god forsaken place where all people live in mud houses and have no running water or electricity... well, you're wrong. Majority of people in africa have running water and have electricity.
Food support for africa? This is the most idiotic thing goverments around the world do. They eat the food, and what then? They need more food. Goverments should provide people of africa with knowledge to create their own living. Knowledge, not materials. Knowledge doesn't disappear if you eat it.
Cracking encryption is waste of time for potential intruders. And noone cracks encryption anyway.
Security breaches are caused by bad administration and bad habits. People in offices have passwords written on monitors, mobile phones,... and they also send passwords via unsecure communication method. (e-mail, phone,...) - that's the major problem in security.
Parent indeed made a mistake with that number, but it wasn't that there should be comma instead of dot, it's that there shouldn't be a dot.
Many european countries (including mine) use decimal comma and use dot (.) for signifing thousands. But, the dot for thousands should only be used for numbers larger than million, unless there is also a decimal comma.

Using this rule, people always know which separator is for thousands and which one is decimal... be it comma or dot.
PPC are RISC based processors.. while x86 are CISC. The difference is that RISC processors have 'hardwired' all basic instructions into them... making them capable of executing instructions in single cycle.. or even more instructions at same time. CISC processors on the other hand have programmable core. (i'm not going to explain how that works.. but closest analogy would be to internet routers.. and directing the packet to reach desired destination) This makes it more versatile and cheaper, but less efficient.
Problem isn't the internet or sharing... (actully.. this only helps less famous bands to gain popularity)
Problem is that 50years ago there was much less music altogether. People still buy same amount of albums per year. But in 1950s bands released some quality music.. and people bought all 5 or so albums in certain genre they liked..
Now... market is just saturated with 99% crap music. And only artists that are complaining are the ones making crap music. They apparently don't care about fans.. all they care is money. Fans will always buy good albums... if they have means to.
I for example listen to heavy metal. How many good albums were released in 2003? No more than 5! And who is the loudest about ripping-off the bands? Fucking metallica, who made the biggest piece of shit album - EVER. They are ripping-off the fans, not vice-versa. And they don't deserve our money. I couldn't imagine myself not downloading their music and buying their crappy album, so i can shit on it.
People, you are being misled!
Those 20-28ms is only the delay! After that time it takes another 50ms (less on newer models with active matrix) for pixel to actually change colour.
All people who are saying LCDs perform as well as CRT aren't comparing them side-by-side. Most of you got shiny new LCD with shiny new computer... and it feels better because you have better computer, not becuse of LCD.
Especially in gaming CRTs are much faster than LCDs. If you don't notice that you are blind. Or you are comparing it to CRT at 60Hz which is overkill for eyes and brain. Modern CRTs have no problem operating at 120Hz - use that!
As for "i don't see skipping mouse pointer on my lcd".. you probably use default windows drivers for mouse, which caps your mouse refresh to 40Hz.. of course you don't notice anything. Download "ps2rate" utility to measure your mouse rate. Even usb mice with default drivers default to 40Hz.
Not yet.. but it will be soon.. in about 2years.
Quake1 and Quake2 are opensource now. You can download the source from id-software ftp site.. ftp.idsoftware.com
Do you know why people wear mullets? So they don't get red necks if they stand on sun too long... and because of that, mullet heads cannot be called rednecks.
I wouldn't be surprised... spanish language is spoken more (area-wise) widely in the world than any other language.
And chinese (traditonal) is spoken by most people.
Oriental poem form which is mostly used by americans who think they know a lot. It is in fact one of the simpliest poem forms. Apparently perl users (and others..) are unable to coprehend any more sophisticated forms of poems.. like sonets..
I was running quake1 from linux console on 486 DX4 100Mhz 16MB ram. I had only 12fps on timedemo.. but it worked.
On my current computer i get 600+ fps on timedemo.
And Marduk, enki's son. His number is 10. And colour purple.
I guess apocalypse will come as soon as 10th solar flare strikes and aurora shines in purple!
The Only thing that doesn't fit is that Marduk is actually god of jupiter..:/

If someone is allowed to create gay only guild, then i should be allowed to create straight-only guild. And even white-only guild!

No they don't have top of the line anything.
I bet this is better, faster and more stable.
EVE-ONLINE can be played totally without keyboard (apart from entering your password and chatting... and entering sell prices)
It's entirely mouse-menu driven game.
Eve-Online. Gank anyone you want... but with consequences. And death is really expensive in eve, you can basically lose everything.
Or "iceb0rk"... also known as borked ice.
Yep.. we have TV over telephon lines since 2003 and this is in Slovenia. Nothing new about this.

LOCK-ON is imo the best game of 2003. It's just awesome..

you can compare apples to oranges...
I can even compare apples to a train or space ship.
And lose IIS server marked cause of that? I don't think so...
