  1. You can't feel all of the people.... on Intel's Linux Based Home Media Gateway · · Score: 1

    So, will someone tell me how Intel (who recently stated they'd build DRM into their next generation CPU's) is going to successfully market this item to the RIAA and MPAA who just love to share their stuff </sarcasm>

    Not to mention that as soon as M$ gets wind of this, they'll make sure that Palladium hammers it down.

  2. It's by the Gone Jackals on LucasArts announces Sam & Max sequel · · Score: 2, Informative

    The music in Full Throttle was done by a group called the Gone Jackals, and they don't have a website that I can find, but you CAN find their cd's on your favorite jungle-themed retailer or your favorite auction-owned subsidiary

  3. A happily-phrased "Hell Yes" on LucasArts announces Sam & Max sequel · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Finally Lucasarts is doing something other than milking the rapidly drying "cash-cow" that is Star Wars.

    I can't even bring myself to count the number of awful Star Wars Games I had to disdain and refute in order to hook my wife (successfully) on Lucasarts' fine adventure games -- thanks to the great character design on Grim Fandango.

    Lucasarts has really good innovators and well done art (Steve Purcell rocks), and it's more than high-time that a decent adventure game came to for.

    I for one am sick of the endless parade of "free form" games (i.e. the Sims), the neverending re-release of the "yet-anotherFPS" engine games, and the D&D based games that have more bugs than characters (NWN). <\RANT>

    So, back to slashdot thinking... this gonna run on Linux? :)

  4. sshAgentServices alternatives (while U wait) on Review: Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar · · Score: 4, Informative
    Like the gui? Try the very nice SSH Agent built in apple's project builder with source (yay).

    If you want to see the shell script that's ultimately under this, Apple made it in csh.

    A decent csh (or tcsh) script for running ssh-agent at login is described by apple Here. I have the "terminal.app" on my dock, and the script described goes into my login. I just have to run ssh-add, and from then on my applications do fine.

    I rewrote it for my .bash_login and pulled a lot out of it, and dropped it here:
    # for ssh-agent (magic!)
    # first check the ssh_agent_state temp file
    export SSH_AGENT_STATE="/tmp/.ssh-agent-state.$USER"
    if
    [ -f "$SSH_AGENT_STATE" ]; # tempfile exists?
    then
    source "$SSH_AGENT_STATE";
    if
    [ ! -S "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ]; # socket writeable?
    then
    echo INFO: ssh-agent needs to be restarted
    rm -f "$SSH_AGENT_STATE";
    echo INFO: starting ssh-agent
    ssh-agent -s | grep -v '^echo ' > "${SSH_AGENT_STATE}";
    source "${SSH_AGENT_STATE}";
    echo INFO: ssh-agent started [ $SSH_AGENT_PID ]
    else
    echo INFO: ssh-agent already running [ $SSH_AGENT_PID ]
    ssh-add -l
    fi
    else # no tempfile, start the agent clean
    echo INFO: starting ssh-agent
    ssh-agent -s | grep -v '^echo ' > "${SSH_AGENT_STATE}";
    source "${SSH_AGENT_STATE}";
    echo INFO: ssh-agent started [ $SSH_AGENT_PID ]
    ssh-add -l
    fi
