Well, I've been running it for about 2 months and it's never given me any problems. I don't really notice any advantages (or disadvantages) compared to 1.3, although the config file is nicer.
... hasn't the build engine source been available for absolutely ages? How else would ports like www.glduke.com be available? I'm not convinced this is anything especially new.
Banning the distribution of weapons that can kill tens of people in minutes or restricting the weapons that are used to shoot at objects at a distance would not hurt the society in a similar way.
What kind of goddamn commie fascist anti-american terrorist are you???????
(Actually, I agree with you, but most people aren't going to)
You'd probably need to move the hard drive outside the case too. And if you have a Geforce FX, that'd need to go too. Hell, let's move the whole PC outside the case!
Seriously though, couldn't you just buy some PS/2 or USB extention cables and put the computer in a closet or something? You could take it out when you wanted to use it during the day.
Also, you get computers like the older compaq deskpro range that, although the PSU was in the case, you REALLY have to strain to hear the fan. I believe the fan wasn't on the outside-facing wall of the case, it was on the inside and blew air across the PSU components. I used to use one of these for my webserver/firewall and I could sleep fine. I don't see why more computers don't use this design. Maybe you could find one and get the power supply from it.
Those are all valid points, but I think only the ones about terrain really matter when we're dealing with iraq. We also have to look at the fact that most of the surrounding countries use GSM exclusively - implementing CDMA would effectively kill off roaming between countries.
Well, the nokia cardphone series (PCMCIA GSM card with a little antenna) does MOST of what you describe. It just doesn't have the bluetooth.
Another alternative is something like the Nokia 6310i. Yes, it has a UI, but it's small(ish), has bluetooth, and it lasts me more than a week on about 2 hours of charge time (li-polymer battery).
Yeah, but if they switch to Linux, they're going to have to ask Joe User to RECOMPILE THE KERNEL every time they want to add a piece of hardware not in the original distro.
no, that's the system administrator's job. And anyway, most modern distros come with nearly everything compiled as modules, and installing new hardware will be as simple as searching the net for the required module and just issuing an "insmod"

It's hosted on microsoft.com.... is anyone surprised?

I remember they used to do this kind of thing with Data Cassettes back when the C64 et al were popular. Ah.... memories....
So, basically, the machine from sliders would basically just be a machine that lets you travel faster than light.
I'm quite impressed that you managed to predict the moderation outcome of your last two posts in the subject itself.
http://www.advsys.net/ken/buildsrc/default.htm There's also a port to linux and one to win32/directX.

I love the way it got modded as redundant, rather than offtopic :)
Why don't the MPAA go after (for example) the authors of SmartRipper? It's been used to rip FAR more movies than DeCSS.

Just saying the phonetic equivalents of the letters, and the numbers as usual?, as in "see-eff-nine"
Is this one going to punch journalists too?

Anyone know of any good SMD soldering guides, giving needed equipment, how to do it and so on...?

Maybe that's what the USA wants, though.

I think it may have been sarcasm.
I hear they can be used as a useful tool for democracy, too.
Funny, I can find "women" all over the place on kazaa...
And apparantly unable to spell.
The fact that the parent comment is modded up as interestesting must mean I'm getting old. And I'm only 18...
Ah well, at least it won't get distracted as easily.
