I definately agree. ..what is a shame though is all of the people I had noticed walking and errr running out of the theater. It was really sad because I thought it was a good movie. However, most people like explosions and catchy, whitty, but stupid action lines.
I would like yo know when and if you are still in the playtest because Maxis has already pushed back the release date several times and is still adding features to the game. It is much more than a glorified chatroom and it is somewhat realistic in the simulation of day to day human interactions. To say its a glorified chatroom is absolutely absurd.
I have been in the play test for about a week and a half and there has been a lot of features, changes, etc that have taken place to the game itself. To simply nock the game when its still very much in a beta stage is totally unfair towards Maxis and EA.
Has anyone noticed that the RMS rhetoric has become much more prolific on/. ? I know he is the GNU guru, but can we keep it down to one RMS 'statement' per week.
I really don't mean to be a troll, but I think he gets way too much attention and it really seems to get to his head. I think there are better things that could be posted. Or is it a slow news day?

Well, I'm sorry but I have SuSE 7.2 Professional and was able to get my DSL working in less than a minute. Perhaps it is because:
1) Qworst requires PPPoE which it does if you directly order DSL from them and not an ISP.
2) You have a static ip but have no idea what you are doing.
Either way you shouldn't knock the operating system if you don't know how to use it. Most ISP's nowadays are starting to support linux as an OS anyways. So instead of trying to 'hack it' to work, then maybe you should break down and call tech support. SuSE does support PPPoE so if that is the case you should install that package.
Umm no shit. ..then don't get DSL directly from Verizon. Go with an independent ISP that resells the Verizon service. In most cases you will get a static IP.
Yeah, I completely agree. PacBell/SBC has no motivation to provide these services because of their deep pockets, and their unwillingness to innovate. You don't have to innovate when you are a monopoly because everyone has to be forced to deal with their crappy service. However, eventually that will be there undoing because you will see WISPs popping up all over the place offering affordable broadband and VoIP options with much better support.
Ummm not unless you like a lot of latency. DSL is more reliable than satellite also, and its pointless to use satellite access if you are building a COMMUNITY ORIENTATED network.
Yes, I agree. However, they do not live in an suburban area. The community is quite spread out and would make regular old CAT5 pointless because of the distance limitations. In rural areas other houses are most likely beyond 600' so even if daisy chained it would not work.
I've been disheartened by the linux world since commercial interests started stepping in. Avoiding such crap was my #1 reason for dropping windows in the first place.
That is the most ridiculous statement ever! First of RedHat has done numerous things to help the kernel developers, as a result they benefit from it as well as the users. The same could stand for United Linux. Besides if you are so digusted with the commercialization of software, shouldn't you feel the same way about the hardware? Maybe you should stop using computers then if it disgusts you so much.
I obviously don't get some of you people. We live in a democratic society in which commercialism is the sole driving force of the economy. If you don't like it then deal with it and don't whine

Dude, you need to calm down a lot! First of all if you need a 10000000000 watt amplifier just to even barely hear it; then yes it can be considered a waste.

Since when did electronica and the assorted genres of techno become labeled "goth/death/I hate everyone" music? 99.999999% of the stuff I have heard in these genres are quite on the other end of the spectrum. Unless you are thinking of Industrial electronica/techno which is its own genre in itself and typically contains pro-goth,death,hate themes.
You almost rose to the rank of a true geek there, but what a wannabe you are! Real geeks don't have girlfriends. I bet you had sex too, right? Begone! And leave us to our regular expressions.
Who says geeks can not have girlfriends or sex? Maybe not with supermodels, but none the less. I am a System and Network Admin for an ISP, program, use Linux/FreeBSD/IRIX/other Unix flavors, that in itself would qualify me to be a full fledged geek. But, I have a girlfriend and am sexually active.
Dude, I think he was referring to the price of the disks themselves. a 40 GB SCSI hard disk is at about $400, but the same size IDE drive is only $80. So what if the adapters are cheap? Its the drives that are expensive.
Whats wrong with you man! He didn't say slots he said IDE devices. e.g. hard drives. I would do anything to get my hands on this, it would be excellent for a kick ass linux server.
I highly doubt we are overlooking the moon. Most mission plans for Mars involves the moon from one degree to another. One is establishing a permanent lunar colony on the surface all the way to sending fuel generators to the surfaces to use the moon as a 'gas station' of sorts.
I don't think we are running before we are crawling, we need to begin this sort of planning to prove what technologies are viable and which ones need to be further developed. I agree that there needs to be more of a focus on the moon, but abandoning the red planet is not an option. It has far more resources than the moon does and it has the ability to be teraformed so we could live on it with out specialized life support systems, biospheres,etc.
Perhaps the Act wasn't such a good idea after all. It allowed the telcos to become little "microsofts" and stifle competition and therefore innovation.
No because the 1996 Telecommunication Act stated that the telcos had to open their networks. However this is proof that they are trying to stifle competition between the CLECs and ISP resellers.
