  1. Kingdom of Loathing on MMOGs Reaching For Casual Gamers · · Score: 1

    Anyone else play? I'm hopelessly addicted to it. http://www.kingdomofloathing.com/

  2. Re:There:-) on Playing with Sony's Linux-Based Networked Media Player · · Score: 1

    I can confirm this. I saw the seatback displays all reboot and watched Linux boot up. I thought it was pretty neat and myy wife thought I was a dork :)

  3. Re:Laptop = Server Blade on Laptops, Headless Servers and KVMs? · · Score: 1

    That's a horrible idea. Laptop drives aren't meant to be used 24x7.

  4. Table Image on Geeks Playing Poker? · · Score: 2

    I've been playing poker for almost 10 months now after a fellow programmer got me hooked on Hold'em. But I do have to say the I don't think my programming experience has really helped me. Sure, knowing the odds and stuff helps in the long run, but mostly only for ring games. Tournaments are a another story.

    I think what helps more, especially when you play with the same group of people a lot, is the image you project at the table. I play regularly with a bunch of my co-workers, most of whom are programmers. They all have the image of me that I play good cards and never bluff. If they only knew. It really helps to get a nice big stack early and bully them the rest of the night.

  5. You forgot sqlite on High Performance MySQL · · Score: 1

    www.sqlite.org

  6. gethrtime() ? on RT Linux Patches · · Score: 1

    Does this finally mean Linux will have something like Solaris' gethrtime()?

  7. This should already be filmed! on Mel Brooks Says 'Spaceballs' Sequel In The Works · · Score: 1

    HELMET: How could there be a cassette of Spaceballs- the Movie. We're still in the middle of making it. SANDURZ: That's true, sir, but there's been a new breakthrough in home-video marketing. HELMET: There has? SANDURZ: Yes. Instant cassettes. They're out in stores before the movie is finished.

  8. Re:Bah on Netcraft: Red Hat Still Top Linux Server Distro · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Since when doesn't Slackware have a package system? man makepkg man explodepkg man installpkg man removepkg man upgradepkg man pkgtool Not having dependency checking does not equal not having a packaging system.

  9. In fairness to past contestants... on The Man Who Knew Too Much · · Score: 1

    Jeopardy used to have a 5 day maximum for appearances and a few years ago they doubled the dollar amounts on the categories. Who knows what some past 5-day champions could have done?

  10. Re:Easy POP access to Yahoo and Hotmail. on Yahoo Reminds Users That 'No' Doesn't Mean 'No' · · Score: 1

    Or YoSucker! http://yosucker.sourceforge.net/

  11. Re:Slackware rules! on Slackware 9.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Slackware has always had package management, it just never had dependency checking. Why do people always say Slackware has no package management? What do you think installpkg, removepkg, upgradepkg are for???

  12. Re:How'd they miss this??? on Further Selections From the Mixed-Up SCO Files · · Score: 1

    So they admit they've neglected their own code base. And they wonder why Linux has rocketed past it.

  13. Re:Cisco has them on Michael Robertson Unveils SIPphone · · Score: 1

    Pingtel that is, not Pintel....oops.

  14. Re:Cisco has them on Michael Robertson Unveils SIPphone · · Score: 1

    We use several Cisco and Pingtel SIP phones at work and the general opinion is that the Pintel phones rock while the Cisco ones stink.

  15. Re:Not unique on Incas Used Binary? · · Score: 1

    The Mayans had a system of "binary" based on 0, 1, and 20 if I remember right.

  16. Re:Now if only their FTP site... on Slackware Forums Alive Again! · · Score: 1

    Then use a mirror. http://wildwizard.kicks-ass.org/slackware/mirrors. php or http://www.slackware.com/getslack/

  17. Father served on NR-1 on Book on NR-1 · · Score: 1

    My father served on the NR-1 as storekeeper (SKCM) for a number of years. Luckily this did not required him to go out with the sub as it was so tiny anyone who wasn't needed didn't go on the patrols. He was on many subs in the USN for 20+ years. A few of them were the USS Sam Rayburn, USS Whale, USS George Marshall, and USS Phoenix.
