I always remember playing Tribes 1 on a low spec K6-2/300 with a Voodoo2, now that was a game!
Fast action, excellent teamplay modes, also the bonus was it run nice on dialups (even with my 33.6!) and it seemed alot less ping orientated which i liked alot:)
Fine it may be a bit OT, but old games still pack the punch imho, i still play on T1 with a few mates...always a good laugh to get that mid-air snipe:P
the basis of BitTorrent is to share....getting 5k/sec and then saying "oh forget it" wont help anyone else. Imagin if everyone said that, oh theres ur 5k/sec downspeed:)
Working on a IT helpdesk can bring its own comedy moments, of course you get the usual annoyed customer but still you get the classics...
Heres one i had this morning:
User: "I can't get into Word, its stuck on the gray bar"
Me: "Have you tried clicking on the button in the gray bar?" (i assumed she ment explorer)
User: "Oh, Yup, thats worked...bye"
As long as theres people like that i've got a job:)
I could see Sony beginning to roll out a test sillicon in house to its other hardware development departments, but i dont think its anywhere near stepping out of the lab yet.
Also would seem a bit stupid to roll out a new PS with the online ps2 rollout going good at the moment.
Imho if PS3 was on the horizon wouldn't they of canned the online part of the PS2? Seems alot of money wasted on something that will last less than a year...
Wasn't there a SNES -> N64 botch cart so you could play your old games? or am i thinking of the Gameboy -> SNES cart....oh i dunno but they've done summat like that in the past, Sony was not the first...
I loved RwR...amazing book and the Rama II was another excellent book...from there it went downhill
I'm interested in how they will do this, to us Rama fans out there the game gave a insight into the Rama II book and it was very good imho (Richard Wakefield just sticks in my head, they casted a very good person to play him in the game...and ACC makes a apperance:) )
Now when i re-read the books the images of the game stick...and i think the aliens and surroundings were authorised by ACC too so...will they stick to it?
Doesn't the iPod have a hardware decoder for mp3? If so why don't they think about making a device for this in the kernel...maybe so it would be possible just to cat >/dev/mp3 ? The idea of using a software decoder on something i think has a hardware decoder just seems a little....uselsss?
"What about the partial criminalization of encryption under the RIP Act?"
Amazingly, a friend of mine pointed out that parts of the RIP law are illegal under EU rulings on Human Rights...which the UK totally agreed to. Of course we've wrote to our MP to highlight this fact...:)
As people in the UK might know, not only do they have standard record producing costs here...but now they've added a new cost of making serveral million people suffer with TV specials...
Of course i can see why there doing this...Instant number 1 hit, production fees paid by phone in votes (30p/min to vote...pah!)...now thats like free money to me.
Your choice about linus is a good one, what can you say bar he has even Microsoft flapping...maybe deviating a bit but Richard Stallman? He and the FSF group have had a lasting effect on software...i'd class that as good reason:)
Check out the Quakeforge project on Sourceforge its made alot of advancements in the engine and now runs either with SDL, native GL or Software emu...its excellent and works sweet on my 98, 2k and XP machines, even with my p133 linux box as server:)

By enforcing identd usage on IRC, operators of channels can sucessfully ban abuse bots and users who use BNC relays or unix shells. has some sense of use in this case...
I thought the idea of XML was really to keep it server side...u know this whole platform independant thing they've been working to for ages? Dont wanna sound like a flamer but it seems pritty stupid to start the "oh you need this browser to view this site" wars again. Had enough of that in ye-olden days of NS vs. IE:)
