Do you find it more difficult to work on the Linux platform than Windows or Mac? Admittedly, Linux was not designed as a gaming platform, and the audio/visual libraries available are not the best. Also, has developing for Linux increased interest in the OS among id? Are you all Linux nerds like us now?
This is horribly off-topic, but it's something I've been DYING to know. Where the hell can I use irc with the DC browser? I tried one site but it only worked in Netscape. Please help me out.
Sure, there's not a geek on the planet who wouldn't allow you into the "circle of geeks", so to speak, I'm mean, jeepers - you're the guy who wrote my tcp/ip stack!:) My question, though, is this: would you consider yourself a geek? Do you fall into any of the other categories of geekdom? (Ex - Reading comic books, being a Sci-fi fan, preferring books over TV, being a pro wrestling fan, etc).

There's a flea market held over here at MIT every thrid Sunday of the month. Lots of hardware ranging from microwave trancievers, to ocilliscopes, to sun machines, VAXen, to Pentium 3s. It's really cool. There's tons of stuff from like the 70s and all kinds of weird hardware junk. Like, really weird stuff. Lots of stuff is given out for free by the vendors who don't feel like bringing it home. I've gotten 9 free monitors in the past three months. It's a cool place. Check out the MIT site for more info.
I'm sixteen years old. I've been watching violent and explicit films since I was a toddler. Among my favorite films are A Clockwork Orange, Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece which has been banned in England for violent content while today much more violent films pass directly through the iron fist of their governing bodies, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, A film loosely based on real-life serial killer Ed Gein, and several other horror films featuring all the things deemed profane (By Blockbuster's standards: strong language, nudity, sexual situations, adult themes, drug use, and rape). My parent's knew I were watching these films, and, even at a young age, were not concerned that these would adversly affect me. They were correct.
When I enter a classroom wearing a Texas Chainsaw Massacre t-shirt, I am often discriminated against. Teachers have made negative comments, students have harassed me, I've even been forced to leave school for a South Park shirt that said "Kick Ass". Apparently, my education is less important to the administrators of my school than a few words printed on an item of clothing. However misjudged, I have recieved many academic awards and am a honor-roll student.
I personally never have understood the problem with obscenites. A word is simply a means of expressing an idea. "Ass" and "Butt" mean the same exact thing - yet one is deemed to be so unacceptable, it is profane to use it. There's very little sense being made here.
Even though I listen to Death Metal music, watch violent films, and participate in Martial Arts competitions, I have never been arrested. It is rare for me to have a problem with my parents. I don't use drugs. I've never attacked anyone. I don't swear when it's not appropriate. I don't have promiscuous sex. I have viewed all of the things that the MPAA doesn't want me to see, and I'm fine. That said, fuck the MPAA.
