I've been stuck sick in my room for the past week and discovered quakelive. Wow. It's awesome to remember how much fun this game was. The in-browser features are actually quite cool. You can easily find friends, the match browser is very cool, and achievements are always fun (should have more...) The game itself is the same ol' quake 3. However there seems to have a wave of new players, which is cool for unskilled players like me.
And it works *flawless* in linux, with firefox.
And yes, having a god proportion of linux players there would look quite good for their future ports, I guess;)
Unicode support is reported to become available for 5.3+ later as a module.
What I've heard the developers say, basically, is that there is no real roadmap for 6.0, since 5.3 has most of the planned features and unicode (the big new thing) will be available sometimes, although not built-in.
I agree.
But 8M in 93 was +400$. I just bought 4G of RAM that is about 20x faster for 109$ (not a deal...) I dont really care about numbers as much as what it cost me to run a computer.
Also, not many people used a web browser in 93 (www is born in what? 91?) and a single big 24 bits background image on a website (one of the many you have in tabs) can take well over 3M of internal memory... That is not talking about any of the other useful things we do with our computer now.
I personally believe coding is a lot of a tradeoff between maintainability and performance. RAM is cheap, programmer time is not...
CREATE YOUR OWN STYLE
There is one of the biggest characteristic of INDICUBE by prominent design to express strong male beauty. With ergonomic and stylish feature, it must be fit in both orient and western people. Enjoy yourself with great style on a bus, train, airplane, or out of doors. We guarantee that INDICUBE can make you look better and create your own style.
First I totally agree with this. I don't think it's possible to rule out "God" as a cause of everything.
See. I'm open-minded about this. However, following this "logic", there is no proof it wasn't the work of the flying spaghetti monster either (to use a slashdot-poular atlernative). Or, *gasp*, mohammed.
Why do we (atheists) have to accept that there is, in fact, no way to negate their arguments, when they (christians) won't even hear about those other theories, which are equally as plausible, if you've followed my drunken ramblings so far...?
I believe there would be LESS crash if browsers would support *just* XHTML, instead of providing fixes for all the broken code out there.
Of course 90% of the web would stop working too, for better or for worse.
But shouldn't there be many different accent for such a program to work?. I am french canadian, and I sure hope I don't have to imitate a France accent for my voice to be faithfully recognized. Because although I have a strong accent from the point of view of French people, I don't from the point of view of Quebec people.
On the same line of thought, I hope I can use this tool with my heavy (ok not so bad) english accent...
I have no clue how those programs work so I might be off-base, but it seems to me that for speech recognition to work there should be AS MANY accents as possible, as long as those are identified and you can find an accent that corresponds to your own (?)
How about the fact that it WORKS, despite all quirks, and that although Java Engineer TM Reg Inc. feels it sucks it still is what will power the internet tomorrow.
Kompose, KDE's copy of Expose, supports Virtual Desktops and dragging from one VD to another. Although a very low-profile app, clearly "stolen" (quotes are important) from Apple, but it seems the latter "stole" back a few features.
What has always seem weird to me is that the age of VOTE is lower than the age of drinking. Which means (theoretically, of course) that you could vote a law that would allow yourself to drink at 18.
The problem (with links, not lynx) is that it understands HTML table pretty well, but doesn't care about "div"s at all. So a badly table-formatted website will look better than a clean CSS-layouted website.
Slashdot Mirror
I can't help but to think of the book Jennifer Governement by Max Berry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Government).
Dystopian sci-fi should remain well... fiction.

The HP comes with Suse.
Dell = Ubuntu
Asus = Xandros
Acer = Linpus (RH-based)
MSI = Mandriva (Xandros??)
Sylvania = gOs
Yea, a bit more cooperation would be nice.
Yea technology for sports is ridiculous. Better find new ways of killing other human beings more efficiently.

ugh.
So you don't support IE5 and IE5.
Actually, every time someone buys a 99 cents track from iTunes from my band, we get 63 cents. I guess amazon service is about the same.
:)
Maybe MAJOR artists dont get paid but cdbaby's (cdbaby.com) sure do
Flash do not annoy people, people annoy people :P
Being an associate (which is 120$/yr - tax-deductible) gets you five, IIRC.

Yea, zombie flicks :)
By "killing" I guess you meant "inventing".
I spend most my days fighting stupid IE bugs in CSS or JS, but most Ajax-related stuff works well in IE...
I really wish IE would die the death it deserves but seriously if there is one single good thing its done, its that XMLHttpRequest object...

Like iTunes? :P
(I wont get tired making this joke...)
(cdbaby has a brighter future than crippled DVD, btw...)
How weird is that?
Awesome. Thanks for the laugh.
Blame links not slashdot though...
