Correct me if I'm wrong, but from IBM, to Oracle and now Novell, Linux is keeping these old hat computer businesses relevant. I think its a mistake for Novell to keep Netware around, they should just focus on developing for the linux kernel. If they continue developing for both platforms the quality of each will suffer.
try buying one of their mp3 players... DRM hell:( So in that case you can definately go wrong with a sony. BUT in terms of TV sets, they are definately the best. Go with a Sony if you have 1000 bucks to spend.

I am a fan of Full Throttle and I am disappointed that the sequel will not be made at all! Why can't they get a new team behind it? The artwork seemed promising, I just don't get how game studios can just throw away good work and just cancel games. It doesn't make much sense buisness wise... they should just get some new people working on it.
To clarify... I own a gamecube and I would like the game to run on that platform. PC is no good because there definately won't be a linux port and since that is my OS I'd have no way to play it. So therefore I wish that I could play the game, but I make no statement as to how good it is or isnot.
According to her campaign contributors in 2002, no software corporations have any vested interest in her. I think is a good thing that she's doing something for the consumers for once instead of for the companies/people that support her. On the other hand... SBC did donate quite a bit, maybe she's just trying to cut down their bandwidth costs by cutting down on all of the spyware thats used...

IBM's fate wasn't sealed by the death of mainframes, they have adapted quite well to the current marketplace conditions in my opinion. I'm not sure that microsoft will fare as well if its desktop monopoly fades, its made far too many enemies...
I'm sure that Windows and Mac OS X run USB Camera detection as a service. I doubt that the functionality is in their kernels. They're just setup in a way that makes the whole process transparent. You could setup linux to do exactly the same thing, I'm sure that this will be (or already is) a feature in Lycoris, Lindows etc...
Its not a kernel issue as it already supports USB. You'd have to have a service(daemon) running that would scan the USB ports on your computer for any changes and then have it load a program to download the pictures off your computer.

But what about ripping cds, downloading mp3s and movies, playing games, and doign schoolwork. This is all on the computer as well, so if you add that I'd assume that the number of hours spent on a computer would have to be at least 20-25. Its scary to think that so much time is spent in front of a computer monitor.. Add to that number the number of hours in front of the tv (14) and you have almost have a full workweek.

Microsoft should make it a habit of getting sued by states so that it can spread its software into the schools more effectively. I'm sure that the cash is also tax deductible. You go Bill!
I wonder if Icculus (Ryan C. Gordon) of Loki fame had anything to do with this?? Oh yes he did.
It shouldn't have been that hard to port the code for the linux client over to mac os, since both architectures are similar. Regardless, good job Icculus:)

Its interesting to see how much a machine like that depreciates in value. Its sorta like that Camero you bought in 1991 for 10 grand, and now its all rusted and dented and you sell it to some punk kid at the destruction derby for 300 bucks... think about it.

... so no gamecube version either... shame, it could have been fun to play.
Maybe the catastrophe was related to the demon's gate that was forming... and was later reopened in the Doom games... think about it.

Some suggestions for use of the code :
1. Use it to improve freeciv
2. Continue developing it making improvements and such
3. Add the code into emacs so it can have a civ mode
Either way we all benefit!

Good thing i'm keeping my seti@home client running all the time... we're bound to find something sometime!
Unless I'm missing something, this could definately serve as a linux workstation. The power of the new G5 with linux, what could be better?
Now if I only had a spare $3,500 to spend on it...

I wonder how all these renders will fit into the story of the game. Is quake 4 supposed to be a single player experience or multi?
I wonder how many more xbox's will be sold solely because this game came out for xbox only (here's to wishing that it comes out on gamecube)

I hope that a version comes out for linux, or at least one that works with winex. Are you listening valve, pretty please?
actually it was more like 1000 dollars.
I don't think MS got scared, I think that it just stopped to make sense for them to put IE on macs...

any word on a gamecube port? I'm poor and don't have enough money for both systems :(
i think mine makes 100 HP... lol
