Ok, but your problems are with Red Hat, not GNU/Linux as a whole. You seem to be happy with Gentoo, that's fine by me. Personally I find Debian to be the best.
Oops, crypt(3) it is. Always get those two sections mixed up. Anyway, one would hope one's OS had a better crypt than just plain DES. The idea is to get your OS to do it properly rather than do some dodgy fixed string concatenated with the SHA1 of the MD5 of the user's password like the original post suggested...
If you have not done so already, get in contact with your local branch of No2ID. Sign the I refuse pledge (or at least the I support pledge). Lobby your MP and your councillors: many councils across the UK are passing resolutions to forbid government services from requiring their users to have ID cards.
Whoa whoa whoa, I don't want to replace AC with DC. Just have an extra outlet into which I can plug my phones, mp3 players, ethernet switches, wireless access points and so on.
I wish homes were wired for DC. I think we'd save a lot of power doing the conversion in one place per household/street, rather than using a separate transformer for each device. Plus you'd wouldn't have to waste time trying to find your devices transformer, or waste space when packing the device when you go on holiday.
When they tried that before, what happened was that Mac users just bought the cheaper Mac clones, cutting into Apple's profits, and PC users continued to buy PCs.:)
You mean, "the X Window System"... and 'windows' as in the things within which application programs are drawn, is not the same thing as Windows the operating system. You are correct with your third point, I should have asked whether "GNU/Linux" is an "operating system", or a "windows".:)
No it is not. One does not talk about installing a windows on one's computer, like one talks about using a hoover or a band-aid. One talks about installing an operating system.
Is Linux an "operating system", or is it a "windows"?
1024x768. The system is as responsive as Windows ever is while I'm not in HL2, but it takes ages to load both hl2 as well as the individual levels--and that doesn't count the additional loading that seems to take place after playing a level for the first ten seconds, for about 30 seconds or so. Quitting it takes a few minutes too.
I think my graphics options are set to High--basically the settings that hl2 detected as appropriate for my machine. I notice that if I set the texture detail down to Low then it runs a lot better (though still not great), but then it looks like crap.:(
Unfortunatly I don't really have any other games to compare it to apart from Thief 2, which runs like shit off a shovel, as it should do since it came out in 2001.:)

It's "case in point".

If this were so, then he should direct complaints about the _amount_ of software he has to support, to his users...
Hmm... what's wrong with "don't install stuff you don't want to support?"
ONLY SOLUTION IS CRUSH X10
s/oxymoron/tautology/ :)
You mean all those "Runs best on Intel Pentium 4" adverts in games these days are LYING!?
If you look closely at the bumps, I believe they have a tiny LEGO logo etched onto them. :)

If possible, use the interface your database provides to your operating system's crypt(2), rather than doing it yourself. :)
You may be right ;)
The RIAA Radar says she is clean! Unfortunatly it's a POST form so no direct link to the results.

Is there a Greasemonkey plugin that filters out posts made by people who can't tell the difference between using NAT and using a firewall?
One would, however, hope that a "network engineer" would know the difference between a firewall and network address translation.

Damn, what's your secret? I play it on Windows, with an Athlon XP 2500+, a Geforce 6800 and 512 MB of RAM and it runs like a dog with no legs!
A perfect example of FUD. Who forced Ralink off the market after they released Linux drivers for their 802.11 cards?
You need to load 'parport' and 'lp'...

Boo fucking hoo. I'll take my money elsewhere...
