When I want to aim, I want accuracy and speed. With a mouse I can just flip it and fire, a joystick of any kind interferes with that.
When I want to move forward I either want to run(fast) or walk(silently). A joystick for movement usually results in me breaking it or hurting my wrist trying to get every last degree of motion.
Gamepads are good for fighting games, they are good for 2d Zelda games, but nothing can take the place of a mouse in first person shooters. That said, a left-handed joystick and a mouse might be better than a k/b. I'll try it if I ever get the ambition.
My information is a bit dated, but don't two-stroke engines require oil to be mixed with the gasoline prior to combustion? Doesn't this lead to innefficiency and bad smoke?
Doen't they also have problems with fuel in the exaust stroke and exaust in the power stroke?
Have these problems been resolved or does the bike's weight overshadow the efficiency problems?
The really cool stuff will always be a rare find on ebay. An auction site running on winshit servers may have some computer junk, The prices are too high, and the selection isn't as great as people seem to think it is. Even though there will always be a motherboard or 100 on eBay, a true gem is a rare find. The joy of a salvage store is the joy of finding something rare, unique, and cool for a price so low it seems criminal. Ebay appeals to the sellers and therefore conflicts with the interests of the buyers.
Just as my Automotive Mechanics 2 class benifits from the real-world repair job that the school gets paid for us to do, CS departments should have some sort of real-world system to work on.
I'm assuming that there are several servers and several labs. Put groups of students onto different areas and grade on how trouble-free those areas turned out.
They don't have to have root access either, the "paid admin" can keep root and add students to different admin groups as needed. This would keep them from reading/modifying luser email and other BOFH duties that we admins would trust no one else with.
1. Users can be given accounts on all the systems, so that they can change their settings without disturbing others. Security can work without being suffocating.
2. Those people that would have trouble with Linux probably don't know Windows. Despite layman opinion Linux can work in such a way that clicking on pictures causes stuff to happen.
3. $2.4 million - $1/Debian floppies = $2,399,999 cash.
4. The 8 grand a year will go toward buying winshit licenses for the school board.
5. A professor or CS class could admin the servers.
I have no problem with that filthy shit being removed from they internet, but will it stop there? Can it stop there?
Will they block pages that link to it? There goes this slashdot article. Would the article be blocked to protect people from hearing about those sites or to prevent them from heard that their government sucks shit!
First they try to control what we hear, then they try to control what say. First they try to control what we read, then they try to control what we write. They don't want censorship just to stop porn, and they don't want to leave it at just censoring where you go on the web.
OpenOffice and other OSS with M$ compatibility . How many commercial apps are a true replacement for Office? StarOffice, a fork of OpenOffice, doesn't count.
We just need a talking penguin that harrasses you while you're trying to work and the market will be ours!
Network transparency kicks some royal arse that the best efforts of VNC and Terminal Server can't compare to. I can just hop over to another box and run its software. It's near realtime on 100mb/s, and I can't wait to try it on 1gb/s ethernet.
Thankfully Linux is a kernel, not a commercial os and X will live on for at least a few more decades. Does anyone know of a compression scheme for X that would make internet use faster?
5. As for the "political soapbox" comment, have you ever concidered that/. was designed as a political soapbox for geeks like ourselves? Have you ever concidered that we trash windows because it sucks!?
6. I use Linux to write applications and games, as well as insult windows on slashdot.
7. I was just saying the nethack still kicks ass, so does fortune and the BSD games.
is that they have different dependency chains. Before I saw the glory of Debian Linux (I use non-free packages, so it isn't GNU/Linux) I tried using Redhat RPMs with Mandrake 7.something.
Each app wanted a different version of glibc or a different version of libfoo, and it eventually got to the point where I gave up.
I use debian for prepackages software and compile from source when no packages are available. Debian packages are of the highest quality, every one of them contains man documentation and stuff as well as a fully-integrated distro menu for those "other" window managers like windowmaker and blackbox.
If they made it work, then congrats to them. I just won't be betting on it any time soon.
Unions, governments, religions, and corporation have caused the most problems when they gained significant power.
Granted some have good intentions: Unions fight for member's wages as well as dues. Governments protect and create as well as embezzle and murder. Religions fight for virtues by shedding blood. Corporations make profit for their investors by sophocating competition and ripping off the consumer.
EULAs are the modern equivalents of granpa Simpson's strikebusting tactics. It all started when he was taking the bus to the movies, they were only a nickle for a three movies and a woopin, kept your mind on your business; so anyways he was on the bus with onions tied to his shoes, that was the style at the time and he was ridin the bus to shelbyville to watch the movies........
Ever notice how a powerpoint presentation is often larger than an mpeg of ittself? Thankfully, most mailservers take care of humongous attachements on their own.
You bring up the very good point that our system is flawed in that businesses, rather than people control the government.
It is also important to remember that the opposite extremes (socialism and communism) suck in that the community exploits the individual. Corporations, despite their wanton disregard for human rights are still bound by the laws of profit. We need to start taking advantage of this.
For example, start a petition for network admins that would allow Office attachements if, and only if, the spec was publicly released. If enough of us, the ones that control mail servers, do this it could force M$ into releasing the spec to save Office's viability.
Winshit boycotts would not work. We are not the sort of people who buy winshit, we are either boycotting it for ethical reasons of using a warez copy.
The Warez industry has been decimated by the OSS movement. Who would want to hurt a good ol' honest business like that!?
Slashdot Mirror
that doesn't like farscape?
The Twiligh Zone(old), Sliders, The Outer Limits(new), and better shows fell from the waves. Why is everyone so concerned with farscape?
In all fairness I haven't seen more than five episodes of the show, but I have never been attached to it. Why are so many people obsessed with it?
This is a serious question, not a flame.
My pda's pitiful cf card would be hard pressed to send that GET request over to their WAP. Can anyone report on the usable range of the broadcasts?
Think about this:

Most companies use html for pretty layouts and pdf for documentation downloads.
Will we eventually just realize that plain html is better for the reader? Probably not.

it was put onto eBay.
As a tip to Linux users with bad ram, try append="mem=fooM" where foo is an amount of ram below the broken area.
NOSTRADAEMON PREDICTS THE END OF ARPANET ON 1/1/83!!!!
I don't expect any geek tabloids to get into my supermarket within the next two decades.
or use X apps that don't "lob" pixmaps over the stream.
Obliquewindowmoving works fine, that's handled on the local end of things.
I'm playing xbill over my lan now on wifi(12mb/s), well written X apps work fine.
I just might drop Linux.

A Winshit CE palmtop doesn't have the option of just recompiling desktop software.
that "GNU/Linux" meant it was built on free software, most of which was GPL whereas other distros intermingle proprietary crap with OSS.
is that they have different dependency chains. Before I saw the glory of Debian Linux (I use non-free packages, so it isn't GNU/Linux) I tried using Redhat RPMs with Mandrake 7.something.

Just out of curiosity, is this is first
