but it'll be interesting to see if Mario gets a star inside the Sony-owned Metreon,
If they don't honor Mario, they automatically lose all credibility. Mario played an undeniable role in shaping modern video games and was at one time the most popular and most recognizable mascot (either in the world or in the USA, can't remember which...)
Oops, my bad. Didn't mean to perpetuate the myth that Slashdot posters don't read the articles. My eyes skipped over that twice when I went looking for the price.
I went to Mandrakestore.com instead. But there they say $350, so someone must be confused somewhere anyway...
Wait.. ZIP? Perhaps you mean MSI's and merge modules and all that fun stuff. I don't know much about software distribution, but I do know that ZIP doesn't have much to do with it.:)
Oops, says it's not even out yet. Anyhow, it's $345 for:
By entering the ProSuite Subscription Program today, you will get your 9.1 version box and receive the complete set of CDs for the two next versions when they become available.
This is an excellent opportunity to stay in touch with the latest versions of the Mandrake Linux ProSuite Edition !
Support: Support included with 9.1 version only: Support coverage, please see the 9.1 Mandrake Linux Prosuite description
Offer details: One 9.1 ProSuite Edition boxed product including: - 8 CDs - 1 DVD (Workstation DVD) - 1 Quick Installation Guide - 1 User Manual PLUS: - one complete set of ProSuite CDs of the next two versions as soon as they are released.
And speaking of server wizards ("drakwizard"), that's another feature we really appreciate with Mandrake. Mandrake's server wizards help to ease the setup of server processes on the system. These easy-to-use step-by-step tools make the initial setup of a web, DNS, DHCP, Windows file sharing (Samba) and other useful servers a painless task. We were able to configure the included Apache web server in just a few moments.
Keep this up and Linux might be just as easy to use as Windows. Having everything come on one DVD is a nice touch too - something I wish would catch on more since DVD-Roms are almost standard these days. No mention of the price though (anyone who says $699 gets an automatic -1, Cliche:)
I dunno about that... the original SMB was pretty hard... so was Contra...
I think maybe we're just getting old. Well, you are. I find games as easy as ever (except for DDR Max - still can't beat that goddamn Gradius remix).
I do agree that some games abuse saving though. Resident Evil limited the number of saves, but I found I still had many, many ribbons left over when I beat it for the Gamecube...
with the sunday edition AND a multimedia cd, nobody will be done reading the news paper before next week!
That's no excuse! Any slashdot readers won't bother reading the articles anyway - they'd just hold the paper and cd, read the headlines, and then bitch about stuff around the water cooler anyhow...;)
Reminds me of a news story I saw last year where someone was printing up their own barcodes, sticking them over existing barcodes, getting things for pennies on the dollar, and then selling them on eBay.
Unfortunately I can't find a link for it on google...
NOOO! I'm still playing Celda, Golden Sun 1 & 2, Tactics Ogre GBA, Final Fantasy Origins, Wizardry: Tales of a Foresaken Land, Final Fantasy X, and Dragon Warrior VII!
I thought I was making headway when I beat GTA3, Vice City, Metroid Prime, Aliens VS Predator 2, and Quest For Glory VGA (mastered the thief quest last night =).
And I haven't even touched Final Fantasy VIII or Kingdom Hearts yet.
Dammit, I need to quit my job just to have time to play all these games:) But then I can't play em anymore...
Or I could just stop being a consumer whore, but I don't like the sound of that idea...
Seriously though, I have had to stop buying games until I get all caught up. I used to only have one or two on the go at a time:)

So is that why you missed the barbeque?
Things can be funny and informative. I laughed and learned a lot from Se7en.
No, wait. Spaceballs.
I always get those two movies mixed up.

much as the Windows world has with .ZIP

All the new IBM stuff we are using at my company is coming with DVD-Roms.
:)
In any case, check my other post above - it comes with cds and dvd, so we're both happy
All right, show of hands. Who is a geek and exclusively plays non-fun video games?
:D
Sorry, all the Everquest geeks are lost in Norrath right now.
The Star Wars Galaxy geeks are also busy.
No mention of the price though

T. Herman Zweibel, is that you? I thought you were dead...
I agree. Still waiting for my flying car...
I can't even get Dumb and Dumberer on Time Warner's Video on Demand service.
I fail to see the problem here...
I don't think only four women will keep CowboyNeal entertained. Better bring some more...
-1 Troll?
It's a joke son, laugh.

it sucks because the name sucks.
Novistrana? Sounds like a nasal medication of some kind...
Stop nasal leakage with Novistrana !!
Didn't you get your iLoo yet? Or at least hack your own together? (look honey, I duct taped a laptop to the bathroom wall! Isn't it cool!!?)

Is there a picture of that in the Apache documentation?
(Figure 7a: Server on fire due to Slashdot effect)
There should be!
I swear that damn page gets slashdotted three times per week :)
I bet my wife would love that game... =]
