Also listed on that GameSpy page are Star Control II and X-COM, surely two of my favorite games of all time. SC2 doesn't have a ton of replay value (though I've played through it at least 3 times), but I still play X-COM every once in a while.
Well, which distro will I do first? Mandrake? Redhat? Suse? Debian?
Obviously, you know very little about Linux. Write your GUI using Qt or GTK, then just tie your old code to the new GUI. This is a huge benefit of OO programming, even with C++. No need for massive, complex changes when you port a program. Just change the classes than communicate with the GUI and the OS API.
But I digress. The point is, there's not a whole lot of difference between distros besides package managers and system configuration. Write your code, compile it with gcc for i386, then stick the binaries in a.rpm and it should run on any Linux distro that's properly configured.
The method you describe seems to be the most natural and obvious approach, especially if you're doing OO programming. I don't like pair programming either, but other elements of XP might be useful, like more interaction with customers and frequent milestones.
No methodology is perfect for every team and project.
Especially the MobilePro 900c. It says it has a "nearly full size keyboard", so it must really look like half a laptop, with a really shitty screen. The point is...?
I hope students are required to hand their papers in to anti-cheat sites, before hand. Hey Id like to make sure people are all getting a fair shake.
As a current university student (studying chemistry, though), I agree. It lowers the value and meaning of a degree if it's easy to get by cheating. Not to mention that you're screwing yourself over if you constantly cheat.
Actually, Gentoo annoyed the hell out of me, but I love LFS because you get a reward for the extra effort: a distro that is optimized and customized for your system. SuSE, Mandrake, Fedora...they're okay, but I'll never go back to them now that I have a "from scratch" system, and I can easily compile + install new packages whenever I want, rather than waiting for them to catch up.
If people are willing to pay a premium for the bandwidth cost they incur, then even 24bit versions of files could be sold.
That's very impressive, as long as they don't insist on gouging customers for bandwidth. It shouldn't cost more than $2 tops to transfer a full 24-bit album uncompressed.
This is the future of digital music downloads, at least for real music enthusiasts and hardcore fans: get the original masters, higher quality than CDs. I can't stress enough that this is a good thing.
I remember thinking of a game like this back when X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter was first released, except it would be based on space combat rather than ground combat. My idea is still technologically infeasible because of latency issues, I guess. We'll see if this one becomes vaporware, or turns out to be shallow, buggy crap once it's released.
And people who should know better about audio quality piss me off.
Only on Slashdot will you find musicians who so willingly embrace lossy compression in music that is being sold.
It's not a DLL, but yeah, it's Microsoft's driver. The trick is that Knoppix isn't distributing this file, but rather searching your Windows partition for it.
As always, NTFS read-only works fine, writing is very limited unless you want to corrupt your filesystem. Knoppix would be using an approach that uses Microsoft's ntfs.sys to handle writing. Of course, you need Windows installed (or at least a copy of ntfs.sys) for this to work.
It doesn't have better hardware detection. Mandrake especially has excellent automatic hardware configuration, and SuSE and Red Hat/Fedora are also very good.
"Certainly if they're using 10,000 Linux servers that include our intellectual property as part of Unix, we would want them to license," said Blake Stowell, a SCO spokesman.
But Blake, Linux isn't Unix, it's a Unix clone.
Oh, and one more day to put up or shut up.

People who use the phrase "moral compass" - Arrogant pricks.
Go expand your vocabulary.

Not really. Anyone can do the same thing by just renting the DVD and copying it. Legal or illegal doesn't make much difference.

Indeed, everyone knows it's SCO/GNU/Linux.
So to answer your question: President Truman :)
Or that's what he said, anyway.
Just because it's easy doesn't mean it's not illegal.
I have my own "live" IP address at my university, but it's totally firewalled, so it's just as bad :(

Agreed...the sheer number of SUVs out there is disgusting. And yay Buffy quote :)

Tell that to the people who write operating systems.

Nice link. Sent it to my girlfriend in case she's interested in submitting her art :)

Optimum Online has been getting more expensive and slower at the same time. It's up to $45/mo for Cablevision customers, $50/mo for non-customers.
What are you smoking? :-)
