I like info more than man/html/ps but I dont really like keybinding so this program *available with Debian* is very handy so far.
pinfo really needs to use a second argument for node like info does IMO as Im used to doing that when I want to reference a known nodes and typing --node= is a pain.
I wish I was a pirate... Id sail the Seven Seas, Id find myself a bootlegged song, and take it home with me!
Its about time the media distributers woke up and started distributing their artists media online. It doesnt take a genius to see that Napster was a good idea - if someone made a Napster-like program involving the artists written consent theyd obsolete the current media industry VERY QUICKLY *Sony could do it to make 'the one and only' clause more meaningful - hehe*.
Unless the court rules that releasing the source under the GPL is tantamount to making it public domain.
That wouldnt be so bad. A new license could be written and anyone would have the right to use the old code *hence interoperability* - update the version in the license clause and its re-protected *maybe - hehehe*.;)
The big different between Microsoft software and GPL software is that the GPL requires you distribute the original source with the binaries.
No, the big difference is the right to use GPLd software in ways which may enhance the original software. Using GPL source gives you a way to develop software which you can own as long as you then 'GPL' your code AFAIK - maybe youre thinking this and writing what you wrote?
You can say what you said in relation to Open Source but not Free Software or the GPL AFAIK *I dont really care about Open Source Software*.
Thats one of the claims at www.fsf.org (something like; "If you release your code under the GPL we will help you defend your code" - as long as youre code is not breaking any copyright/patent/trademark the FSF will probably help regardless of who owns the code).:\
How about just learning what you want to - forget what the teacher is BSing about. If you need to wait until a college professor instructs you about computing then its already late to get into computing IMHO. =)/me puts his flame retardant suit on
PS. I really liked learning about matrices and vectors but I have no idea wtf section of maths that this is a part of?
One interesting tidbit from the article, the original Dragon's Lair is one of only three video games on display at the Smithsonian. The other two games being Pac-Man and Pong.
Space Invaders or Spy Hunter deserve the position of being a classic arcade game not Dragons Lair! *assuming this is what is being displayed*
I don't remember what you had to do to delete a file, but I remember it was so hard you normally just formatted the disk instead.
You could extend basic to save the hassle of messing with device numbers *DLOAD* and deletion *SCRATCH* etc so it felt like you were using a *cough*modern*cough* computer. Also, MC was more fun - handle your own bytes. =)
They werent built to last - I went through over 10 C=64s and about as many power adapters! Then theres the disk drives and tape deck heads.
You almost have a good point because I see C=64s *sometimes even early Amigas* with hundreds of games for ~$50 in the paper sometimes. Although a C-1 sounds like more than just a C=64 (20MHz jiffy *cute term - couldnt resist - might be emulated 1MHz only*, IDE & PS2).
Dude, even the Amstrads were better than those POS!
w00t @ a new Commodore!
I was just playing with x64 (vice) for the first time for about a year today trying to get Xzap *C=16 original - didnt work for me but I had no c16 ROM and suck nowadays* to work!!! =)
I still have a cartridge *Toy Bizarre* so might get this C-1 one day *after I get a job - heh*.
If youre into space exploration this is a good time to own a TV even if facts arent right yet *even if reentry was a failure*. It sucks to hear of a space shuttle having a failure but you probably missed takeoff!
Hopefully a better way to travel will come out of this tradgedy.

The way things are going RMS wont even get to be a footnote.
Does it really matter when itll be licensed with the FDL? =P
I wonder whether he will have grown past the posting of flame comments on the LKML yet?
HAHA!

Sounds like a great idea which will be prone to abuse. An Editor for the final documents would make it very useful and more efficient that TLDP. =\
Very nice tool!

You need to work a beowulf cluster into there somewhere.
:\
And, BSD is dying...
This was marked as insightful but it sounds more like a troll.
Also, this may explain why the Phoenix browser was asked to change its name a few months ago.
:\
So... I wonder when they are changing it and what it will be?
They didnt even mention Sir Arthur C Clarkes Space Junk theory *pre-Sputnik writings AFAIK*. =(
Being smart does not make you a nerd, being a nerd makes you a nerd. You can be smart and popular - just dont hit the books at lunchtime or weekends!

Arrr!

If you were never going to buy the music *wtf pays $30(AU) for 1 good song?* there is no loss-of-income!
Insert coin to play again.

Again, Dragons Lair sucked!
This will save us from having to configure each programs sound device. =) /me waves @ dsp/esd/arts

You could go for the interactive Stroker game. :P
those things were built to last
:P
$10 says you plug it in and the power is dead.
