Its crazy to think a proprietary systems maker would consider GNU/Linux - hahaha!!!
That said it would be nice for Microsoft to release a POSIX/UNIX system because these systems have proven to work excellently and GNU/Linux needs some real competition. NT is OK but its not as easy to fix when things go horribly wrong, isnt as easy to develop and the GNU/Linux system will soon be as simple to administer *if it isnt already* as NT.
Perhaps MS would buy Mandrake as they both give the exact same experience to the user? Theyd probably have a lot of work to do making it proprietary though *or maybe they could just slip MS Office into MS Office Linux*.;)
It is opensource, learn to read $ARCH machine code and fire up a hex editor *or disassembler*.:P
Itd be nice if there were BIOS Monitors (aka debuggers) *sigh*. Or, at least more specifications of hardware... Whatever happened to getting a manual with things *oops, I realize my PC is only an appliance and not a computer - I wont wonder again*?
Things which are part of the Public Domain are not crap alot of times IMO. Mozarts' compositions are PD works and are known as great works of art which should be shared for others to enjoy.
Theres tonnes of computer program code around that is excellent and in the PD also. Im pretty sure Kermit (an old BBS protocol) is PD and I used to program with it without needing license for the right to use it.
Theres tonnes of great works of art or science in the PD but I am only defending the quality of these couple of things. Hearing Mozarts music in a game one day made me appreciate his music and being allowed to use Kermit made me appreciate the PD.
I have it on 9mm. Also things like Casper, a few Charlie Chaplin, the first Keystone Cops etc.;)
I havent seen them for years, since the projector bulb blew, and theyre rare but theyre all shoved in a bag in a cupboard but they were fun to laugh at and Casper was scary as a kid *even though he said nothing - LOL*.
Nice book - I have the old edition of C: How to program and think its really informative. I recommend it to anyone wanting to learn C/C++ since it was the first one I understood. I never done the simpletron but I enjoyed that chapter *made me reminisce about my C64* and the book is just as good for reference purposes as it is for education.
Most people say K&R The C Programming Language but I dont like their programming style so have never read it.
Heh, The Art of Computer Programming is probably a good book(s) to get also *maybe OTT for someone who isnt a hardcore programmer though* - especially the algorithms one. Donald Knuth could teach a thing or two about writing demos *he probably thinks in machine code*!:P
Im a fan of GTK+ but I would never think about doing decent demos with it so you could have left that opinion out *GDK/Xlib isnt very easy also*.:P
SDL would be really good for C but its alot cooler to do things with machine code *or some sort of assembly - even C and inline assembly* IMO as you can break limits by directly manipulating memory. The Linux FrameBuffer would be very interesting.
If you are a hardcore assembly and PC nut then all of the above are probably boring - MenuetOS probably needs some graphics routines added.;P
BTW, I wouldnt rule 4G languages out as some of the flash demos floating around are really nice although youd probably need a recent computer to run them nicely.
Theyre usually busy programming so you dont get a chance to meet them.:)
1500+ lines in a day isnt incredible, alot of programmers probably do this regularly, but doing it daily for a year *even on average* is very hard to believe.
Id imagine alot of programmers would think to draw a square graph of bits and put a big X on it so they dont have to remember 1024 digits and/or rely on a device to remember it *simple to calculate it too*.:)/me ponders changing his password generation scheme now that this info is public *j/k I do another lame scheme and keep the algorithm in my head*
The stuff about the GPL is true *ie you cant sell the software as easilly*. Why dont they just quote the FSF Manifest though - hehe *at least then the reader can read the intentions surrounding the GPL*.:)
I dont like licensing and its fun to see this terms and conditions battle. */me checks FSF.org for a retaliation*
The GPL is the best software license! *IANAL but who GAF*
The ISP I use likes to filter P2P also but they just cap each P2P port (to 5-50kB). When I was being sold the connection I was told that the 25G/month means I could burn about 50 CDs worth of songs per month.:\
Leechers waste my bandwidth and pressure ISPs to block/filter ports and increase service prices so its good to see the ISP taking action against them. Although, blocking ports is heavy-handed and users should be allowed to break contract and get their installation money back IMO.

How stupid is that?
I refer people to that site all the time for the IrDA HOWTO and used to read Asterix and never once associated the names.
Mobilix = Mobile Linux *sheesh*.
DOS games sucked!
Commodores were still better for gaming that year.
No, you just look for unique links since news items usually include a link.
NB. This has been said again and again but noone has added it - Taco should write the thing instead of spending his time duplicating posts. =\

Theres Debian packages also... this will surely get me back into the dungeon as I think the original interface is too intrusive these days! =)

Art wants to be shared.

http://www.assemblytv.org also has some links you might like. You probably have all these from the DVD though right? :\
BTW can you rip the DVD for me? j/k
Try Assembly.org for some details about the 'demo scene' AFAIK. Two demo sceners' sites are; Byterapers (old group) and tAAt (new group).
:)
;)
Its too bad you missed the ASM Party 2002 BTW. It was cool and I had almost no English speaking demo-lovers to chat with!
Also, the 'intro scene' was where the fun was BTW.

You are dumb.
Nifty programs to manage your backups, play your media files, and even run linux are being updated daily... The XBox was one hell of a gift this year
*sigh*
Years ago you didnt have to hack a console to program it - why are you so enthusiastic about people coding for your system?
It should be a right not a priviledge!!!
I guess youre just a n00b - nm. =)
It probably is something simple like that.

Doesnt that mean you are breaking the rules of beta testing?
:\
When I tested Win2k beta it said I wasnt allowed online and some other things.
The ISP I use likes to filter P2P also but they just cap each P2P port (to 5-50kB). When I was being sold the connection I was told that the 25G/month means I could burn about 50 CDs worth of songs per month. :\
