  1. doh! version 1.0 doh!! version 2.0 on Lindows 2.0.0 Released · · Score: 1


    I was scrolling along and first shock - able to connect to Windows NT Server :S - ok ok. Still scrolling and i see StarOffice 6.0 can save, edit and blah blah MS-Office Documents in their native format - does that mean to say

    Lindows:
    lookie here suckers - this wont run MS-Office well and we hate MS and so does Sun - so why dont u pay for StarOffice for Lindows (hyukhyuk) although you can pirate MS-Office for free.

    User: Hey thats a great idea!

    As of 1.0, Mike (the CEO) replied to my email that games wasnt high on their list and they would consider it soon.

    Where is my pack of cards?

  4. i do not know about mediation comparisions but... on Gaming Zone? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    When i am in the thick of action - fragging opponents in Unreal Tournament at a mad pace and protecting the flag at my teams base - or crouching down with the German machine gun in MOHAA to take out the Allies coming towards me in a multiplayer game and crouching in a dark corner to reload - my reflexes are sharp - they better be or i am dead meat.

    Also when playing UT for long periods(~2hrs+) or looking around in eerie corners of System Shock2, my hands become cold and almost the darkest shade of red and my face becomes so hot and to me the world ends and starts with the game in front of me - phone calls are ignored - door rings are ignored when i am in a clan battle - the PC is checked and double checked before those crucial games - and the reflexes have helped me in real life (trust me)...ok back to GTA3.

  5. nice to see the Russians using their missiles... on Russian Sub Launches European Inflatable Space Vehicle · · Score: 1

    ...for peaceful purposes
    From the article
    The Demonstrator-2 blasted off from underwater, aboard the Ryazan submarine in the Barents Sea, into orbit on a converted Volna SS-N-18 intercontinental ballistic missile, the Russian navy said in a statement.

    Well now if all nations on Earth used their missiles for peaceful purposes, we wont be needing those treaties :)

  6. go Ronaldo go on World Cup Final · · Score: 2, Insightful


    Ronadlo erased the memories of the last world cup where he was unable to play thanks to an unwelcome fit. Teamwork won them their cup though.

    About the champion being needing to qualify, i think thats good, since you see what happened to France..coming to the world cup having qualified and played as a team helps them in their campaign rather than come in from a dozen different clubs and expect to bulldoze the opposition.

  7. bum ba bum bum bum ba bum bum on Spelunking in Las Vegas · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Alright bums are people unless you started calling other beings "bums" as well but you know how it is - i know of several undergrad kids who call themselves bums
    No wait - i know what they were expecting - a drug cartel, a casino and a mall - boy it sure hurts and disappoints when all you find is a couple of bums and not people.
    Alright that was a little attempt at irony - are we having another slow day here ? We can talk about WorldComm or perhaps about the upcoming issue of Playboy which has an "infotech administrator" and "datebase admin" among a group of ten women from Enron (i hear tongues now :O ) or perhaps someone could post how Orbitz is being seen as a potential monopoly that could airline travel in the near future.
    Just my 2$ - 2cents??? Heard about inflation?

  8. it requires a windows installation because on NeverWinter Nights Dedicated Linux Server Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    from the article

    4. Transfer the following files from your Windows installation to a directory in Linux:

    Required Files:
    data/*
    override/*
    chitin.key

    Recommended Files:
    nwm/* - Official campaign modules
    modules/* - User modules
    hak/* - Hak paks
    patch/* - Updated files

    So once you get these files, someone make a tar of them and keep them for peeps to use and mention the configuration of the windows thing (like what kind of install was used) and there you go - you dont need windows no more :)

    From the article

    This is hardly the first time that Hollywood and other DMCA proponents have won in court. A federal judge in New Jersey tossed out a case brought by Princeton University computer scientist Ed Felten, who claimed legal threats made by the recording industry unconstitutionally chilled his right to free speech
    Is that something that Hollywood would be celebrating - this smells bad - real bad.

  20. how about the case when the parents dont care ? on How Dangerous is Online Chat for Kids? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I personally have come across a 13year child when i was 20y and she claimed to be 18y and would drool and sigh all day as i listened to her as i coded some crap
    One day she said her little brother was dead by drowning in the tub - very obvious that she was loving the attention - and to think for a few mins. i was so concerned and then i had to coax her out her father's name...the emails she used to send me had her last name and traced her static IP to a state in the eastern US and used www.switchboard.com hoping to get a hit which i did and called her mom up and gave her a short lesson in how to raise kids.
    The scary part was she did actually have an infant brother and she might have actually done something to him. Before you say the kids need to do something more productive, i would put the entire responsibility on the parents.

    Mr. Dorhauer has studied the law of domain names and said he was confident he would prevail. Legal experts who have inspected his Web site said he had a good case.

    Ms. Esman said the school had made a mistake in asserting that Mr. Dorhauer aims to make money from the site. "They do seem to be focusing their complaint incorrectly on commercial uses," she said. "He's not offering any services whatsoever



    Well it looks like the school should have talked more to the young man before suing him outright - after all he wasn't making pennies and he did have a disclaimer that his site has nothing to do with the law school
