story time. once upon a time, in the early days of iip, a #teensex or something showed up, i forget what it was now, anyhow, they were asked that if they're gonna do that, at least +s it, so yeah, short version, there is more interesting sutff out there:-p.
To be fair, a large part of the problem is that the RBL has been known to often block people for no good reason, particularly in their DUL service (of which my business connection on which I am allowed to run a server is still listed, even though I have never run an open relay, and if you read the DUL FAQ, they will verify that open relay and spam is not the reason, because to be on the DUL they just have to say that the company selling to you is selling something to consumers.) So yeah, I'd be complaining about an upstream RBL too.
Yes. this can be done, and it's not even hard - we (computerbank, http://www.computerbank.org.au) do this with some custom scripts we wrote to automagically partition, untar, detect hardware, and configure X and audio. It works remarkably well for large rollouts... I'd imagine that there is a better solution than ours, but send me email if you are interested (jaymz@dspvideo.com, but audio instead of video:-p)
I own both bc++ builder and vc++ (even tho I prefer to code on linux, but that's another story for another flamewar;), and I beg to differ that c++ builder kicks vc++'s ass - yeah, the RAD stuff is nice, but the actual compiler behind bc++ generates completly shite code compared to vc++'s, and generating code is the important part of a compiler, no?:-p
Somehow, I don't see Sun agreeing with this. Sun was one of the major
backers of Gnome.
This would hold weight it the project wasn't called
"Gnu Network Object Model Environment". But
it is. The gnome guys *CHOSE* to be a part of the
gnu project. If they did this without knowing what
the FSF and RMS believe in, then they are stupid
and deserve everything they get. They have made
their bed, sun included, and now they must lie in it.

idea that it doesn't
The reason for only half of the sites finding
your flash, is that a bunch of sites actully
require *shockwave* flash, which is different to
ordinary flash, and is not available on linux. Of
course, a lot of windows web people don't know
the difference, and just say flash when they
mean shockwave. Suck, but what can ya do? (aparently shockwave runs using reaktivate, so perhaps try that;)
When we were all working on machines of 16k/32k
happily, 640k wasn't obviously bollocks in much
the same way that 64meg obviously isn't bollocks
to you now.
I develop linux software for bread, right now, but
I still have to take issue with your comment about
microsoft's treatment of developers. There are
*MANY* things that I dislike about microsoft, but
one thing you CAN say about the company, is they
treat developers incredibly well.
Even microsoft knows, that you don't sustain an
OS without apps;)
Actully, if a 40s computer fell on their head, they'd be dead, my friend, and so they wouldn't be in a position to recognise it

Slighyl offtopic, a friend asked me to write some music for his game, and i was wondering what the options are for players (or editors, which would be better... 'coding' music is 'interesting';)
You are correct about winelib, however corel did NOT compile wordperfect 2000 against winelib, they actully made a windows executable with a special version of wine to run it.
Get the facts before suggesting moderation for "incorrect" info:)
Actully, Commander Keen was marked as by iD, although both Keen and Wolfenstein were distrubted by apogee (now 3d realms). The first game which id distributed was, iirc, doom. I'm pretty sure that commander keen was their first game as id, too.
(disclaimer: I like both linux and bsd, and a number of other os's. I just found the post funny). [sarcasm]Of course, the linux developers are NEVER proud of their work, are they?:)[/sarcasm] dude, get over yourself:)
Don't forget the wonderful HCF (Halt and Catch Fire) from early 68k units (aparently(sp?), it was implemented for stress testing the CPU's, and they forgot to take it out:)
It's amazing, a company that can't make a secure OS to save itself seems to actully do a pretty good job at securingh it's own sites. Blind luck? who knows!:)

It'd rock if it just blocked spammers...

but yet, mp3 is lossy, and doesn't sound exactly like the CD, but people love it. People don't give a flying fuck about quality beyond a certain level

Not to seem like a bigot, but doing such activities online is seemingly dirty, and quite frankly, spells doom for a society.
You only say that because you can't get anyone to cyber with you :P
Actully, I think that you will find that slashdot is an experiment in artificial stupidity :)
