Amazing you are right. I never knew this. That of course might be your answer. Who the fuck uses.museum anyway? (Yeah I know the obvious answer thank you) See this for all the domains on.museum. One company I maintain servers for has got more domains then this list. Anyway.
The outcry is not so much that they are cybersquatting. Well some are but that is not why the geeks are rebelling. The problem is that you used to be able to do a lot of usefull stuff by checking if a domain existed or not.
Now thanks to this you can't well not without rewriting your code. grrr.
I can only guess that nobody ever used a.museum url anyway:)
But yes it is exactly the same thing. Except for the scale difference. I guess you can't check against spam being send from a.museum domain either.
ah ah, you are forgetting one thing. This is Linux. Sure it will come with a gnome version YOU may NOT like. However this is LINUX. What is going to stop you from installing your own desktop? Eh? Nothing. Well maybe company policy but that is hardly the fault of either sun or linux or for that matter even MS.
So if you get a machine like this on your desk. Rejoice. You are just a few upgrades away from your favorite setup. Well you may need the root password but that you can usually get from the IT department if they think you are skilled enoug.
Disclaimer they may have of course made it totally impossible to do any upgrade alteration. But I doubt it they are a unix company after all.
Well no, the original poster is not entirly correct. I remember research wich looked at the difference between paired and non paired members of several species. Those animals who had a pair, IE lived together did have some extra stress during the beginning of the living together. However later on the stress levels dropped markedly as the animals could rely on each other. Sleep time showed the most drastic drop with heart beat and such going way down.
It has also been shown in humans that married males live a few years longer then single males. (not suprising considering bachelor habits).
Adventures didn't die. Lucasarts killed them. Sure the press may have loved the new inventive way of controlling them like Monkey Island 4 did or Gabriel Knight 3. The game buying public hated it.
Don't fix it if it ain't broken.
But you need 3D to attract the quake crowd you say? Stop talking to customer focus groups. People that say they would buy X if only it had Y are lying. It is like people who say they would use public transport if only XXXXX, or who would run linux/mac if only it had XXXXX. They won't. Ever.
Perhaps in fit of sanity lucasarts realised that one of the most bitched about parts of the original full throttle was the bike fights. Sure it was original. Sure it was new. Sure it was kinda fun. Until you got hopelessly stuck at that point.
Hybrid games rarely work. Mixing adventures with anything is sure to fail miserably. I am wrong? Prove it. Adventures are slow by nature. Hell in Lucasarts adventures you usually can't even die. To then suddenly add elements from other games, rarely works. Answer me this. Wich did you thought was more fun. The fights in Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis or the ones in the original Monkey Island? Right thought so.
The official line anway was that Lucasarts thought Full Throttle 2 was not going to live up to expectation. Make of that what you will. It been discussed on slashdot in its own artice.
Battle of britain and Secret weapons of the luftwaffe were solid flight sims coming with thick clear manuals that even gave several run downs on the war the games were set in. Good solid manuals that told you everthing thing you need to know and a lot more.
Their adventures based on the excellent scumm engine were topnotch. X-wing was amazing.
Then something happened. I don't know what but I will give you the clues. Maybe you can figure it out.
Afterlife. If you never seen it be thankfull.
X-wing vs Tie-fighter. I am not 100% sure but around this time a logo started to spring up when you loaded the game. It was amazing bright and cheerfull. It also was glaringly out of place. What is it with all these fucking logos? Why did they outsource the development or something? I buy a lucasarts game. Not just something rebadged.
Missles in later x-wing games. X-wing is a dogfighter. Laser against laser with the odd protontorpedo against heavy targets. Later on in the game however you couldn't start a run on a capital ship without dodging endless missles. What joy.
Minefield in x-wing games. Clear 1 gazillion tiny mines. Whee. Are you having fun yet?
Monkey Island 4 control system. (it may have been grim fandango that did it first don't know) UGH. One of the bad points of click and play adventures has always been pixel hunting. Now you had to pixel hunt by moving an other pixel across the screen with cursor keys. Yikes. Whoever made this one is an enemy greater then Gates and McBride put together.
Manuals. Anyone notice manuals and general goodies like keycards have becoming rarer and rarer these days? From the thick binders (handy for putting the manual open on a certain page) to the well the sheets of copy paper you get now. Yet the price of games has gone up, but the media price, floppies vs cd's has come down. Rip off?
First episode. Ugh, what did they do to star wars. All the games based upon it have been total dogshit.
Consoles. Lucasarts made it big on the PC. It has made good money from a loyal fanbase. So what does it do to reward us and continue the good relations? Develop console only games. Grrr.
Crap buggy games like rebellion and what was that RTS called again? Ewh.
Mmmm, I just don't know what happened at lucasarts. Did someone quit? they were once the greats. Then again there was time when sierra was know for quality as well. Oh well. I guess that certain things just pass away. Spam free email. Usefull usenet. Perhaps it is like dementia in humans. Once great minds doomed to become like drooling 2yr olds.
Let us remember the Lucasarts we once knew and loved. And hope that this demented old driveling shell of a company passes away peacefully in its sleep.
duh, eh could that company be via, the parent company as mentioned in the article. Via the company that makes motherboards. Via that makes a cpu. So the via that could now produce an entire computer? (well a significant part of it, not as much as Intel but certainly more then AMD)
So a decent video chip they now can put on their own boards without having to pay a 3rd party for it and one that doesn't completly suck? Mmm, yeah I could see a business case for that. Anyone wanna bet we are going to finally see some decent video capability on those mini-itx boards?
Have you ever used a laptop for a long period of time? Yes? then you must have amazing posture or you would instantly see the revolution in this.
Laptops are hell as ergonomic devices because they place the keyboard and the screen in totally the wrong places. This is of course because of the design.
Revolutiun doesn't always have to be huge. See such little things as the scroll-wheel on a mouse. Or for that matter the replacement of the ball by a light in mice. Tiny changes but do you really want to go back?
But here is a challenge for you. Come up with a radically different design for a laptop. It is not an unusual question. It is asked in design classes around the world. You will find that most of the designs that students come up with are certainly radical. Practical, rarely. Possible, even more rarely. Economical, Hahahaha.
Industrial design is hard. As I said try it yourself. I always enjoy programs or shows where they show concept stuff. It always looks great and it is fun to speculate what if. Sadly I have yet to see any of it happen. We still use windows/kde/gnome in exactly the same way since the idea of windows came about. We still use pretty much the same input methods (what happened to speech to text?) and we have pretty much the same output.
Oh well back to drooling over a laptop way way way out of my budget.
So what you are saying that a laptop still isn't a desktop. Well damn, you are right. Hell when are they going to make a laptop like my current desktop that is what I wanna know.
I mean seriously my desktop is a dual processor, very nice when you want it to respond NOW. It gots a 1.5tb storage (HD are cheaper for me then burning to dvd, damn dvd tax). It got a 22inch monitor and a 19 inch one. It als got 5.1 sound. Stupid IBM for making just a stupid laptop that has none of these laptop essentials and instead focusing on making the laptop a little bit more pleasant to use.
I like this machine. It will probably be way to expensive for me but I like it. I had to work on a company owned laptop for a long time and they are a pain to use for any length of time. This baby would have been a lot more pleasant.
As for a mouse. Yeah they are real easy to use while on the move. Now if someone came up with a nice integrated trackball (or clickon), but then I seem to be the only one who likes those.
Good work IBM keep it up, you are rapidly turning into one of the most fun and geek friendly companies around.
There isn't. They keyboard itself sends out a different keycode depending on wether that F-lock key is enabled. You will also notice that the f-lock key is independent of the pc. Num-lock and such need the PC to change state (light on and off) but the f-lock key will work the moment you apply power.
So yup if you got it you need to hit the f-lock key each and every time you boot up. At least the keys don't do something stupid unless you install the drivers.
Actually I disagree. I may be the exception but while I like the old keyboards as well. Server room has them I like my logitech explorer as well.
Let me explain, I pried off the windows keys and the sleep/mode key (small recessed thing in top left corner). I also haven't installed their software. Instead I have added a winamp pluging that reads the keys, pretty much the same thing is availble for xmms when I am at work.
So what is so great? Easy control of my music. I have long since given up on the radio for background noise. Sadly people do insist on talking to me meaning I need a quick and easy access to mute it or pause it.This keyboard gives me just that. Then again I have been thinking just cutting the bit off that provides the media controls putting it on the monitor. Then using a proper keyboard for the typing.
ehm this is slashdot you know:) Being anal and obsessed with wording is what we live for:P well that and the day we finally get to get in a girls panties.
Sigh, okay here is courtroom lesson 1. Standing before the jury and saying "Yup I did, I am to blame, it is all my fault" gets you the chair. On the other hand claiming "Nope it wasn't me, I didn't do it and even if I did it wasn't my fault" makes your lawyer rich.
ehm no. You see the kids didn't die, nor will they put to death or removed from the gene pool. The one killed was a nurse, someone who made his living saving peoples lives.
So darwin has nothing to do with this except perhaps in reverse. Survival of the unfittest. If they win the world has lost a lifesaver and gained two rich scumbags.
Yeah they were 14 and 16 years old. But they didn't mean to hurt anyone when they opened up with live ammo on people. Oh come on. If this is true then they should be capped and put out with the garbage since they are obviously braindead.
Seriously when are we supposed to be able to know that hurting other people is bad? I would have thought that maybe around the age of 6-8 at the latest you are supposed to know that hurting people is bad.
Can't we ammend the law in these cases. Give the jury an two extra question, 1 do you think the parents should be put to death and 2 how long should we torture the lawyer.
You already pay a tax on broadband silly. Well at you least in europe. It is called a sales tax. or BTW or VAT or whatever other name they have given to the tax applied to everything that is sold.
What a internet tax would be is a tax not on your vacuum cleaner but on how many times you hover with it as well.
An email tax would be a double tax. First you pay for the bandwidth, then for the use of that bandwidth? Like charging me BTW for a loaf of bread, butter, and toppings. Then charging me a tax when I make a sandwich out of it and eat it myself.
Ah but you see this is valve, not say a company like bioware. The difference is that valve has made great use of Linux for their game. Namely as a the server for multiplayer. My ISP xs4all.nl runs several games. All on linux, they refuse to touch windows games servers for obvious reasons.
So valve is familiar with how to write code for linux and they use it to make money. Bioware didn't but they did support linux, sure it took them time but they did it. Thanks.
So is it really that stupid to expect a company like Valve to give something back for all those linux machines that have helped make their game great?
Remember that the the cost of the engine, the bit that would need porting, is minor nowadays to the cost of creating the world, the art, wich doesn't need to be ported.
So the real problem the poster has is not that valve like the fast majority of game companies ignores linux. They made gratefull use of linux by running their game servers on it. Is it then really that odd to expect that they would this time also allow all those linux users who helped made their game great to be able to play it as well? It is not like the cost of porting is all that big. They know how to write for linux and considering it comes out on x-box they know how to port.
Wrong analogy. The trombone is the CPU through wich the code is executed. The music however has remained the same. Playing it on a piano or a clarinet does not alter the music sheet.
Your analogy would work if I claimed that you took your my code for the x86 and compiled it on a ppc you are infringing on my copyright. Same code different instruments. So that would be copyright infringement.
Well lets hope that sony who are hardly new to making battery operated equipment can come up with a happy medium.
Sure 10 AA batteries is bad. But that is because this company probably did not have to capacity to use a better battery pack. Sony has.
So lets not say that because others did some silly stuff (why use AA batteries at all, how many quality walkmans do use them? Not that many am I right?) doesn't mean Sony has to do it as well. If they are smart they make the console rechargable.You know, like all the HD-based diskmans, PDA's and telephones people use. Swapping AA batteries is something a cheap company like Nintendo does.
So if they make the PSP a quality product, along the lines of the iPod then they can easily put in some quality batteries. If they then give 3 hours of uninterupted play before having to be plugged in again I think that will be more then enough for most users (people who commute) and long car journeys. (powered via cigarette lighter)
Of course for your flight to germany it probably then won't last. Well guess what. The fast majority of people do not make such trips on anything like a regular basis. And of course as I pointed out Sony has been known to make to it possible to attach an external battery pack just for those occasions.
But here is the real question. You do already own a gameboy right? Why you should you then buy a PSP if it is just going to offer the same kind of games?
But they did send them off. Then that company screwed it up. That is the problem with outsourcing. It is hardly a new thing. Paper documents routinely are found not to have been destroyed.
So either you do it in your own organisation, having a rule that NOT A SINGLE INTACT DISK leaves the company. Or you risk this happening.
Yah, you did read the article so I guess you missed it. Anyway I am not quit sure I believe it myself.
The claim is that the 3D performance will be closer to the PS2 then the PS1. Zing. Compare this to the GBA who while a nice console is hardly what you would consider a power monster. Have you seen some of the 3D games on the gameboy? The GBA has pathetic power. Doesn't mean it makes for bad games. It doesn't. But it does mean that anyone going to compete with it better offer something different. Like say more powerfull games? You don't compete by doing exactly the same thing (please pay attention KDE developers) you compete by offering something you hope will be considered superior. Now ask youselve this, how many people who usa a gba really need 10 hours playtime between recharges?
So they are putting it with HIGH end performance items like laptops. Sure you mobile phone easily has several times the battery life of youre P4 Radeom mobile laptop. On one you play snake on the other you play Quake3.
You are basically complaining that the McClaren F1 is not as fuel efficient as say a Smart. Duh.
I for one hope that sony goes for power and options. And simply does what they did with my mini-disc player. Make it top-notch with the simple option of affexing an external battery pack for those occasions you need more battery life. (it is a two AA cell plastic container that screws on to the side. and supplements the encased rechargeable battery)
Go sony. Go for the high-end market. It is there. I know plenty of gameboy fans who got every color of the bloody thing. They wouldn't think twice about buying a device 2x 3x the price if it gave them performance. Oh and please. Proper lighting this time right? Oh and screw battery life. Just include larger batteries and give us battery packs that can be easily charged and exchanged.
And while we are at it. Please realise the nature of gameplay on these devices. So no games where the only way to save is writing down a huge string of characters. Save anywhere. It is possible.
Oh well no doubt the product will be ruined by focus groups who will never even buy it because they got the time to be in focus groups while those of us who can and would buy it are at work.
Well, check if you are running ssh. How? I presume you know how to open terminal window. It is the command line interface where you give typed commands like "cd" "ls" and such. (I don't know how lindows users use their pc, I was amazed when I spoke to a windows user who didn't no what a dos windows was).
You can probably open a terminal window from the menu. Look for something named terminal/xterm/commandline.
Anyway when you opened a window you can do two things. The first command is "ps -aux | grep ssh" this will return all processes running that got ssh in their name. Typically all ssh server programs plus any sessions. If you see only ONE line and that line contains "grep ssh" then you are fine. That one line is the process you just ran looking for it. If it contains no lines you are also find. If one of the lines contains SSHD, then you are not fine.
You should then use the upgrade tools to upgrade your software. Or disable ssh. Get help from lindows (you paid for support for a reason) how to do this as this would be guess work for me and probably most other people here.
Slashdot Mirror
Amazing you are right. I never knew this. That of course might be your answer. Who the fuck uses .museum anyway? (Yeah I know the obvious answer thank you) See this for all the domains on .museum. One company I maintain servers for has got more domains then this list. Anyway.

Good for finding this and pointing this out.
Simple shoot marketing.
So if you get a machine like this on your desk. Rejoice. You are just a few upgrades away from your favorite setup. Well you may need the root password but that you can usually get from the IT department if they think you are skilled enoug.
Disclaimer they may have of course made it totally impossible to do any upgrade alteration. But I doubt it they are a unix company after all.
It has also been shown in humans that married males live a few years longer then single males. (not suprising considering bachelor habits).
But if this was true then wouldn't mayflies (wich don't eat) live forever?
Don't fix it if it ain't broken.
But you need 3D to attract the quake crowd you say? Stop talking to customer focus groups. People that say they would buy X if only it had Y are lying. It is like people who say they would use public transport if only XXXXX, or who would run linux/mac if only it had XXXXX. They won't. Ever.
Perhaps in fit of sanity lucasarts realised that one of the most bitched about parts of the original full throttle was the bike fights. Sure it was original. Sure it was new. Sure it was kinda fun. Until you got hopelessly stuck at that point.
Hybrid games rarely work. Mixing adventures with anything is sure to fail miserably. I am wrong? Prove it. Adventures are slow by nature. Hell in Lucasarts adventures you usually can't even die. To then suddenly add elements from other games, rarely works. Answer me this. Wich did you thought was more fun. The fights in Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis or the ones in the original Monkey Island? Right thought so.

You can probably open a terminal window from the menu. Look for something named terminal/xterm/commandline.
Anyway when you opened a window you can do two things. The first command is "ps -aux | grep ssh" this will return all processes running that got ssh in their name. Typically all ssh server programs plus any sessions. If you see only ONE line and that line contains "grep ssh" then you are fine. That one line is the process you just ran looking for it.
