But at the same time you *could* play another game without having, say, the rules from the magazine. Or the errata from another magazine, or the new stats from a comic book, unlike games from GW.
Dunno if this has changed one bit, but when they were starting to get big, you couldn't buy a complete game from them.
Additional rules, errata, new rules from the magazine they published, etc etc etc. You couldn't play a complete game because no game was ever complete. Nevermind playing a tournament.
I saw them back then for what they are: Money grubbing bastards. Seems little has changed.
I'm still using my HP 28S, bought in 1988 for 300$. It still kicks ass, does anything math related I oculd ask it to, and is built like a tank. Unlike current PDAs...
From the article:...Apple is notoriously protective of its intellectual property, and has not hesitated to go after hardware manufacturers, software publishers and websites for infringement...
The iBox will go over at Apple, Inc. like a snowball in Hell.
Not to mention all the computer applications that connect the said server. Perhaps they don't like the new OS, perhaps the mission critical app doesn't even *have* an upgrade that is compatible with the new server OS..then what?
Upgrading a server OS just for the hell of it is not a smart way to maintain functionality, or keep costs down low.
I'm glad to see someone *finally* pointing this out. Many of the anti-US/anti-war stances I have seen use the view that there are no "WMD"..and if they are found...then what? They don't seem to have an answer there. My personal viewpoint is they just want to protest anything, and this seems to be a good excuse.
=Hmm linux sucks, eh? Thats why you keep on buying Distros, though they are available for free, I seriously doubt buddy=
Nowhere in my post did I say Linux sucks, I only said it was trying to play catchup to MS.
=This is not a linux forun, this is a news site. Perhaps you posted to mandrake forum. If the FM didn't help you wouldn't ne told to do it. Maybe you went to Advanced developers forum, there are lot of Linux newbie [google.com] forums too.=
I know it's not a forum, I was making a comment on my experiences. And you have no idea the drivel I get from "Linux experts" about RTFM and "well that worked for me, try a different distro!"
=Hmm, most if not all hardware is supported with a few exceptions. However if BeOs detects it fine, I doubt linux wont detect it.=
Shall I give you a list? I have the list of the things BeOS sees fine that Linux can't/doesn't/or won't.
=Linux is a unix... Trying to catch up MS.... thats a new one!=
Thank you kindly. I *do* get it, but when Linux (SuSE 8.0) can't even see my Novell2000 standard PCMCIA NIC, that Win95 (even!), BeOS and OS/2 see right out of the box, it takes the fun out of things.
In addition, the "fixes" I have run across for this don't appear to work, or the MAN info was so out of date (for kernel 2.0) that it also was of no use.
Nonetheless, I will keep trying, and maybe one day it will work.
I only wish it wouls support me. I've purchased ~10 distros, dating back to SuSE 6.1, RedHat 6.3, Mandrake 7.1, 8.0, 8.2, just to name a few.
Everytime I run into trouble I get the same response: "RTFM"
Well I *did* RTFM and the FM didn't help, this is why I was posting to your Linux forum!
I have yet to see an install of the aforementioned distros install successfully (and by that I mean see all my hardware) on any machine I care to throw at it. BeOS however (and MS, but that goes without saying) sees the hardware just fine.
I want to like Linux, I really do, but all I ever see from them is copying/playing catchup to MS.
Maybe this distro will be a different experience for me, but I kind of doubt it.
On the topic today I came across a band called "Toasted Heretic".
Irish (IIRC) 80s drinking type band that made four albums. Doing a google search came up with an interview with the lead singer (there were only 400 hits, so it's not hard to find, top ten search hit) who had written a book. In any case, during the interview about his bok, the subject of sharing tunes came up. The lead singer was *extremely critical of the music business and encouraged fans to download his tunes wherever they could be found. I believe that even the lead guitarist had uploaded some to mp3.com.
It was nice to see that non-hit bands felt the same way we do.
I would like to quote Dennis Leary in regards to this:
"Whiny fuckin' maggots"
One only has to examine the Linux distro home page to see over *70* forks of the original Linux idea.
Fork it, fine, but quit being a bitchy "snadbox is mine" baby, this goes for both the team AND the forker.
Moderate this not as a troll, but as flamebait. I'm tired of reading articles like this where one guy with a big ego is torqued off at the rest of the big ego teams and things like this happen.
It's a cult of personality and these people act like they are The Next Big Thing. Get over yourselves. Don't like the project? Resign peacefully and form your own project and start fresh.
I once inserted my ATM card and just after, the machine experienced a malfunction and kept my card (apparently for security reasons)......I'd hate to see when happens if the ATM malfunctioned as you were putting your eye to the device...
by a wonderful metal band called "Warlord"...partial lyrics are below:
Through Pioneer 10 and Voyager 1 We've launched our knowledge to other suns Aspiring and reaching for the highest of beings We've lost our search for the world's basic needs
The Aliens - inside our machines! The Aliens - inside our dreams! The Aliens . . . The Aliens, The Aliens are here!
Through fiction and lies we gaze at the skies For flying saucers and men with three eyes Creating those monsters we seek to destroy Like children at play smashing their toys!
The Aliens - controlling our spheres! The Aliens - so far yet so near! The Aliens . . . The Aliens, The Aliens are here!
All myths of men and gods will apply when sanity and reason begin to die the dragons you've denied and wish to slay may rise to conquer us all someday! the aliens - the message is clear! the aliens - the aliens are here
One of the only tunes I know that mention the great Pioneer 10 by name. It will be missed.
Slashdot Mirror
...It remains to be seen if this involves a purchase of Universal - something Apple offically denied just a few days ago...
Make up your mind!
Thank you
Huh wha? ;)
In the immortal words of Megadeth, "...two words combined that can't make sense."
But at the same time you *could* play another game without having, say, the rules from the magazine. Or the errata from another magazine, or the new stats from a comic book, unlike games from GW.
From the article- ...with over 5.000 participants...
;)
Yes indeedy, 5 participants with an exact knowledge of the remainder of participants (accurate out to 3 decimal places!)
Good to know

More or less off-topic.
...in different colours.
Several years ago I had a friend who worked in a gaming shop. One of the things he carried, were Braille playing cards...
is a common spoken language with an AI back end.
I still have access to the power cord.

First we have Phoenix, a browser, now we have Minotaur, an e.mail client.
What next Elfix as an OS?
The developers sound more like D&D players every new release.
I knew someone would see this as a troll...

Lindows, for starters.

There were many that took the BeOS fall very hard. I am one of them.
There are many others, Scott Hacker, who wrote the BeOS Bible, is another. As are many developers and fans.
The OS is (was?) great, the company screwed it up (shades of IBM perhaps?)
Can we mod this article as "Funny"?
How about "Flamebait"
no wait, I know..."Troll"!

I mean where else could Uncle Sam foot your bill and still allow you unfettered access to fully automatic AK-47s, AKMs and RPGs?
Considering those are the three weapons I'd love to have...sign me up!
Aircraft carrier pilots.
