  3. FreeBSD is very alive!!! on Nearly 2 Million Active Sites running FreeBSD · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm running FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE as a server/router solution. I've talked with linux users about al the amazing features it has and the stability it offers. All of have switched to FreeBSD. If you want to install something, you just look up your port in the ports list, you type: make install distclean, and you are ready. It automatically downloads it from a ftp server, if the first is down, it checks for a mirror site. It checks for all necessary dependencies and installs that too. I started with Mandrake linux and after that i'm in FreeBSD land. Never looked back since. Oh did i mention it has the Unreal Tournament and Quake3 server in the ports? One "make install" away for pure gaming haven for you and all your friends =P

  4. MSN 6 on Best Voice Chat Software For Gaming? · · Score: 1, Informative

    I'm using msn 6.0 and i must tell you, Microsoft did one hell of a job. I'm behind a FreeBSD router/server and now I can voice chat and sendfiles. Everything is working. Without IPMasquerading shit and you know what i tried. I installed msn 6.0 and all my problems were solved. Even the voice quality is beter then i have with my normal phone line. I play Quake3 and warcraft3 both with team m8's and/or against friends so we can shout eachother to smithereens :) Dont you just love the old rocket in the belly trick and you can laugh and the other one hears it. Nothing can beat that :)

  5. Genetically altered :-( on Scientists Grow Decaffeinated Coffee Plants · · Score: 1

    I really donâ(TM)t like stuff that's genetically altered.
    Why do people keep consuming stuff
    if they know they cant handle it.
    They rather make it into their own taste :(
    then leaving it alone.
    I only eat drink natural/bio products that
    are not genetically altered in any way.
    Most of the time you pay a bit more, but then
    I know it's not rubbish.
    I F@#$@#-ing need my particularly damn fine cup a coffee (soaking in caffeine)

  6. Re:I want a "MacGyver" game on Game Originality: Any Left? · · Score: 1

    well it makes sense. If you check the review on
    gamespot Where the reviewer gave it a 5.7 and the readers gave it a 8.1
    Sounds like something fishy is going on here.
    Thx for the tip Senjutsu :)

  7. Zelda Wind Waker on Does Gaming Reduce Productivity? · · Score: 1

    When i turned on my Zelda: the Wind Waker filled
    Gamecube on friday evening and turned it off on
    sunday night, I discovered that i didnt do alot of things i should have done.
    And seeing the pile of dirty dishes reaching the ceiling
    was also a big hint. I've been playing console and pc games since pong and I can tell you, it reduced
    my productivity incredibly. But what else can you do.
    Those games are just way too cool and entertaining.

    DARN YOU Shiguero Myamoto!!!

  8. Games done quicker on Metroid Prime Done Quick · · Score: 1

    I remember those Quake done Quaker days. That was
    super cool. First record was 19 minutes.
    And i believe they recently set that to an amazing
    12 somewhat secs!!!! With jumping instead of running.
    I still enjoy watching those speed demo's alot.
    It's worth installing your old Quake and watch 'm

  11. FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE ROX!! on FreeBSD 4.8 Released · · Score: 1

    I've been using FreeBSD for a year now and i always
    installed mandrake before on my router/gateway box.
    But since my step to FreeBSD there is no way back.
    And now 4.8 is released i tried to cvsup from
    4.7 to 4.8 and it all worked out without too much hassle.
    The only thing that i found quite complicated was the mergemaster part.
    But after man mergemaster, the handbook, the mailinglist and
    a handfull of newsgroup posts. I concluded that "mergemaster -ai" was the
    only thing i needed to do. So that took 1 minute :)

    Put your hands to gather for the FreeBSD team

    I cant wait for Nokia's/Sega's N-Gage. This will be

  18. *BSD is not dying on Nov-Dec 2002 FreeBSD Bi-Monthly Status Report · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Why would Apple choose BSD for OS X.
    Because BSD is a rock solid OS. I tried both
    Linux and BSD, but i am stuck with FreeBSD because
    It's not as clumsy as Linux. Much faster boot times
    And you can run alot more on BSD.
    You cant run BSD software on Linux for instance.
    I really hope people will try and use BSD more.
    Yahoo runs on FreeBSD for instance, Linux cant
    handle a load like that. So dont give me that lousy BSD is dead crap :(

  24. Re:Read it first on Slashdot on FreeBSD 5.0-RC2 Now Available · · Score: 1

    hehe but this joke is gettin' really old. FreeBSD is a big thing so why not give it the attention it deserves. We dont want articles about every security patch M$ is releasing right? So why not some attention for this instead. One thing though, FreeBSD 5.0 RC2 almost ready is A BIT over the top.

  25. Re:A way to fight back? on Next-Gen Pop-up Ads · · Score: 1

    That's a pretty good thought. Leeching there bandwidth but not a fair one. I am in the online advertising biz myself medialand.nl in Holland Amsterdam. And normally you buy views on a web site. The normal price is like 40 bucks per 1000 views (CPM=Cost Per 1000). And the advertisers buys like 1,000,000 views (do the math) if the are in the porn biz it will most likely be at least 10,000,000 views. If you have something running that will leech there views they will suffer a great deal. Because they dont reach their target group etc etc... But the Media buro will have a bad campaign on their hands, because they have a campaign where the views are gone in like 2 days and the clickrate is 0.00001% (normal click rate for a banner is 0.3% for a popup it can even reach 20%). You'll do a lot of damage to both companies. Just a boycot or the use of phoenix/mozilla/netscape will do alot of damage too. That's also good for a bigger share of different brouwsers (95% uses ie) *snif*
