Very true, and I tried to do that originally. The problem is, there's only space in my sig for 120 characters, so I had to make some sacrifices...;)
EDIT : I seem to have miscounted. Thanks for making me check.....
Is Spyware a problem that's limited to Windows OSes, or does Linux also suffer from it? I only ask because the adaware site doesnt appear to have any mention of it being supported in *nix, and I was wondering if that was a lack of support, or a lack of a market.
Cheers
always the way that the newer games get, and the faster the hardware becomes, the more we like the really old games. It's a sort of nostalgia, I guess.
And I'm very prone to it myself, even if the game I'm looking for (in vain) is Blood and Magic.....
How would this even begin to be enforced? If we start cracking down here, all the websites will relocate to China, or else somewhere where we don't have jurisdiction, and nothing will change.
Not all the films made of Phillip K Dick books were awful though. I don't know of many of them but I do know of one that was good.
Blade Runner was a very nice film, which as we know was based on the Book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", and for once I think it broke the tradition which states that the book is always better than the film. Not that the film was better. Just a different slant.
The eagles only got in because there was nothing there left to oppse them after the forces of Sauron were history. If they'd tried that with the strength of Mordor at it's highest, the eagles would probably have been ripped out of the air, and Sauron would have gotten the ring back.
I was using RedHat when I had the graphics problems. It was Red Hat 8 and I used it before the drivers for the Nvidia cards came out. I changed to Debian to see if I could get that working....I'm still persevering...give me some time, I'll get there in the end:D
And my local Linux Guru is going to be annoyed as hell with the volume of questionhs...mwahahahahaha
I have to admit I would really like to use Linux on my home, but at the moment, there's no versions of it that are..... as brainless as I need them to be, to use them.
For instance, a problem I am having at the moment. I installed Debian 3.0 (I think), and when I try to start X I get the message that it can't find any screens. Which confuses the heck out of me, but I think I know how to fix it. All I ned to do is find my XF86Config files. Which means using either find or locate, and some kind of operator (/f?). And then there was the time I spent 4 days, on and off, trying to install some graphics drivers, before giving up and going back to windows. I discovered soon after that Nvidia don't support linux very well, and that if I'd just waited 2 days more, they have released the drivets I was looking for, and I could have installed them......
While not being a complete idiot, I am not very Linux-savvy, so I struggle with such issues. Whereas my copy of windows worked straight out of the box. So what do I use more often? I'll let you do the math.
Only once linux becomes usable by non-techie types, without having to go on a course to learn how, will it truly take off.

Will there be a google cache if it gets slashdotted?

a way of preventing slashdotting? Lord knows it would get enough use.....
Why do I now have an image of a CD with a huge sword yelling "There can be only one" on a hillside in Scotland?
I can say now that I won't be carrying that card if I get one. I understand that terrorism is a bad idea, but I won't step onto that slippery slope.

It's true. Without genuine spam, I'd never have gotten my nice pert size F breasts and my 18 ft penis.......... And then where would I be? Scrab

So all is not lost. Phillip K Dick can rest easy.
