Or on my wrist for that matter. It's one thing to get a phone call in the middle of a date and ignore it because it's on vibrate, but if it's on my wrist in my watch it's a little harder to ignore if I'm trying to make a move. Then again, that can't be all bad actually...... nevermind, carry on.

EULA's never were legally binding to begin with, it was just a way for software vendors to cover their own ass and state their terms of how and when they want you to run their software.
Sorry, you have given the CD's away for free. I will run and use your software any damn way I choose.
Actually, for your information, http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ redirects you to this page: http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.a sp
The one he has above which is this: http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/en/d efault.asp is quite different. Take a look at the URL and see for yourself.
I could not find something like this simply on microsoft's site because it didn't have a "download only" option to go to their catalog and download the updates for installation later.
As for your comment I think at least a few people in the/. crowd are capable of handling it. You apparently are not one of them.
DUDE THIS ROCKS! Actually, what you can do is use Wine or WinEX and install Internet Explorer 5.5 from an old 5.5 installation CD on Linux,... download then burn to CD and you'll be great. I did that just now and i have to say thank you for the link.
It seems that any useful links, MS hides behind a rediculous naming scheme for some odd reason.
Thank you again, if I had MOD points, I'd certianly give them to you.
I'd have to say that Linux is like JetBlue. Cheap flights and it can get you almost anywhere. But if you want to go somewhere else you'll probably have to chose another airline.
That being said if Linux were a food, I'd have to say it's teh "make it yourself" burger at Wendys.
It really is nice to see some of your more favorite programmers involved in their hobbies. It makes them more real in a way that "sitting behind a computer screen and doing nothing else to stimulate your mind" can. Not to mention he probably wrote the simulator, lol.
What I'm trying to figure out is, why didn't he just install the steam program on the computers and let the users download their own games. afterall steam and a steam account are free, and the users are the ones that pay. it even says that those users names/passwords are the key to their copy/purchaced software for hl/bs/cs/of/... etc.
so the cyber cafe offered the user the seat, and the customer paid for the software.
that's like saying "Hey, you can use my computer, but you have to pay for a windows liscence every time you use it"
I've been a big fan of Blackbox (nearing version 0.7.0 now!!! from 0.65.0) and Fluxbox is great also with some of their hacks. Openbox seems to be great and in it's own right. I love the simplicity of openbox and how many (I've only counted two now) WM's that are derived from blackbox.
I'll always stick to blackbox and continue to add in some of the hacks that OB and FB have added simply b/c I'm dedicated to my first time and favorite WM. At a time when KDE and Gnome really sucked, I fell in love with BB due to it's simplicity and low memory requirements not to mention it's apparent lack of dependancy hell. This was back in slackware around 1997-8. Can't remember the version off-hand.
I won't hide behind the AC trend for attacking "sensitive issues"
but it also comes with a theme that is quite gay in comparison to the old one.
Yes, and did you see how jew the colours were? The fonts were quite nigger too.
Asshole.
While his using the word gay to describe his impression of the theme may not have been politically correct, the term gay is 50/50 with homosexual. Gay evolved to include the meaning of queer, which is defined as:
queer (p) (kwîr) adj. queerer, queerest
1. Deviating from the expected or normal; strange: a queer situation.
2. Odd or unconventional, as in behavior; eccentric. See Synonyms at strange.
3. Of a questionable nature or character; suspicious.
4. Slang. Fake; counterfeit.
5. Feeling slightly ill; queasy.
6. Offensive Slang. Homosexual.
7. Usage Problem. Of or relating to lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, or transgendered people.
Gay's offsnsive meaning (#6) is another way to say queer, which quite frankyly is definition #1, "Deviating from the expected or normal". Especially when throughout history, even those homosexuality may have been happening throughout the world, it certianly was not expected or normal and is seen as vile and sinful.
So while those that take offense when none is intended have certian issues with pride or being humble (which isn't a negative thing), your knee-jerk reaction to his comment certianly isn't helping your case either.
Format your drive with partitions somethinglike this:
hda2 8GB fat32 hda1 15gb ntfs hda5-7 linux extended partitions
create this with Partition Magic and have the "first partition" start 8GB from the beginning of the disk. Format it NTFS. Install XP and use windowsupdate as your homepage. Install norton ghost. Format the empty space before hda1 to Fat32. Install all of your associated programs on the NTFS drive, games (which are always updated) onto the 8gb Drive. Set preferences. Move Outlook express stored folders to FAT32\OE Move My documents to FAT32\My Documents Move Favorites to FAT32\Favorites
GHOST the drive and use maximum compression.
back up ghost image to removable drive or network location.
Presto. Something happens where you get hosed and you don't trust your machine anymore - Re-image the drive with the "clean" copy and no more headaches.
This is what I did for my laptop and 80 GB drive. Now when something happens to my XP partition I just reimage and it takes 10 minutes. Piece of cake. Game preferences are saved, documents etc. I use mine for work too but everything else is Linux.
No sense in running Wine or WineX for W32 programs. Why bother infecting a great operating system with less than par software?
XFree86 project was scuicided and this is what happens.:) Personally, any change for the better including new implementations and speed enhancements will do everyone good.
Speaking of which, this is off topic, but has anyone gone x.org for their own machines and if so, what's the smallest compiled binaries sizes (total X install) you've come up with? I'm looking at working with DamnSmallLinux and the smaller the better, or straight out integration (unless that's pure evil)
why not. the majority of icq users (at it's peak and wane) were all 8 or 9 + numbers. that's frigging lame to say "hey that's profiling" when for the majority of it is correct (like 95%)
so when the other 5% cry bloody murder b/c it sucks, then effectiveness goes down.
now with respect to that, I don't pay attention to UID at all with the exception to when people make comments like yours:
Yet another example of UserID Profiling. Low userID doesnt automaticaly get my respect. The typical low userID attitude is "I got here first so its mine! all mine! hahahahahah mine! Get the hell out of my slashdot you high userID scum" or something to that effect. But I still see tons of low usersIDs spewing crap/FUD.
and look at that im a "high" userID LOL
You sound offended and even threatendedb because of his comment, yet in that defensive remark you admit to either being insecure or flagrent need to lash out based on the fact that you are the majority of "new" users. Don't worry, I'm not excluding myself. Hell, I can't even remember what my UID is unless I look at it and say, well i know there's a 6 and a 7 in there somewhere.
Damn bro. mature a little before you spew shit no one cares about. You might be modded down for it.

how do you get invites and how do they show up in your account to mail them to others?
i'd like to hook my family up and roommates too.
Yeah, some of their names are:
Linus Torvalds
John Carmack
Alan Cox (gotta love his kernel hacks)
and the miriad of other kernel programmers!

Where in the world can I find Linux binaries of Quake2 ? I have the Q3 cd from tuxgames and tribes2 as well. but Q2? I must be blind to not see that.
where?
Now why would anyone want to do that?
it sounds inexpl~1 and irreve~1 proble~1!
Freaking A! Why would anyone want to do that?

where's the download link.
if it's hard to find, wtf good is it?
Try this.
Format your drive with partitions somethinglike this:
hda2 8GB fat32
hda1 15gb ntfs
hda5-7 linux extended partitions
create this with Partition Magic and have the "first partition" start 8GB from the beginning of the disk.
Format it NTFS.
Install XP and use windowsupdate as your homepage.
Install norton ghost.
Format the empty space before hda1 to Fat32.
Install all of your associated programs on the NTFS drive, games (which are always updated) onto the 8gb Drive.
Set preferences.
Move Outlook express stored folders to FAT32\OE
Move My documents to FAT32\My Documents
Move Favorites to FAT32\Favorites
GHOST the drive and use maximum compression.
back up ghost image to removable drive or network location.
Presto. Something happens where you get hosed and you don't trust your machine anymore - Re-image the drive with the "clean" copy and no more headaches.
