God, the Cradle... a part of my soul will forever remain trapped on that level. I haven't felt the same since playing it. I guess it remembers me, and just doesn't want to let me go...
Speaking of Thief, anyone with a copy of Thief 2 knocking around who hasn't yet downloaded T2x: Shadows of the Metal Age really should do so. It has some of the best levels I've yet seen in the series. The missions set in the City are fantastic, and the first undead-themed mission was immersive and unsettling enough to make me put off playing the one that happens later in the game. Fortunatly I really cleaned out the Grand Hotel and have managed to stock up plenty of fire arrows.
openoffice.org-core appears to be 80 MB of code; openoffice.org-common is 50 MB of arch-independant data (OO documents, XML files, scripts, pictures). The rest of the packages are mixed data and code.
The biggest file is -core's/usr/lib/openoffice/program/libsvx680li.so, weighing in at a massive 8947 KB. In total, the packages take up 169 MB. A few years ago, this would have seemed like a lot of space, but these days it's nothing--and I recon OpenOffice.org takes up less space than MS Office.

Package signature verification is the major new feature of the Apt 0.6 branch. The Release file (the detached signature of which is in Release.gpg) contains the MD5 and SHA1 checksums of the various Packages and Sources files that comprise a release. The Packages and Sources files contain the checksums of the debs (debian binary package) and dsc (debian source package) files.
Yeah! It's not like the poor deserve clean running water in the first place! In fact that would kill both birds with the same stone--the increased incidence of water-bourn diseases will decrease the surplus population!
But it allows two or more programs to use the sound card at once. Without it, trying to use Linux on the desktop is as miserable an experience as is using Windows 98.
Yes but try explaining what DNS actualy is and does; how it is not the same as the Interweb; and how we all use a common set of root servers by convention and for convenience rather than necessity to your average moron off the street...
These people barely understand the different between the Web and Email. OH NOES AMERICAL CONTROLS THE INTERNETS is much easier for them to digest.
The beauty of the system is that the UN, the EU or any other set of nepotistic kleptomaniacs can declare themselves the lords of the Internet if they want to; I'll just keep using the root zone hints file supplied by ISC BIND, thank you very much.
You don't need autoconf/automake installed to compile things--that's the reason they are used so much.:)
Are you sure you want a metapackage that depends on everything necessary to compile something?;)
$ aptitude search 'lib.*-dev' | wc -l

According to grep-dctrl, that's 1.2 gigabytes of development libraries alone! You might be more interested in using a tool called 'auto-apt'. It detects when the compilation process tries to open a file that does not exist, and prompts you to install the package that contains that file--very useful.

Are Plan 9 users the new Ubuntu users (who were previously the new Gentoo users)? ;)
No you don't--the cost is just included in your tuition fees. Good luck getting a refund if you don't intend to use your copy! :)
This simple equation should explain.

Ahem?
They are both trivial to apt-get install. ;)

So Rumsfeld did know what he was talking about!
Oh yeah?
You'd just get people selling the +3 Nifty dagger for one (1) niftycent ingame, and £20 in real life...
Probably something like:
cat "$HISTFILE" >> ~/.uber_bash_history
You can use ext2fsd to read from and write to ext2 partitions. It can handle ext3 in read-only mode.
If you're scared of the command line then just use Synaptic?
I think that people making idiots out of themsevles is much more preferable to trolls editing their +5 moderated posts into Goatse ascii art.
Real men just cat(1) to the target tty.

Fuck Creative Labs. Doesn't any one make cards that can do hardware mixing any more?
/dev/dsp emulation.
Dmix won't be good enough until it also works for applications using snd-pcm-oss's
Yeah, 'cos what we really need right now is to worsen the overpopulation situation.

It's so true. Maybe I should patent all of the above over X25 and ATM and make a fortune!
