In my opinion, the only thing that MySpace is really good for is networking. Sure, there's a ton of fucktards on there, but then again, nearly everyone is on there - so you can find some really cool, competent people with a little bit of looking.
Also, if you like to travel, you can normally find a lot of crash spots in the groups on myspace. . . particularly the squatting ones.
1: Because they're bored, because they want to be able to type 'more effectively, because it's a hell of a lot easier than coming up with new energy sources.
2: Who knows? Why does Slashdot post anything? How would having a new keyboard layout affect what anyone can attain anyhow? It's just something neat, that's all.
I'm sure that whether or not someone remembers controllor layouts (and keyboard layouts for that matter) varies from person to person.
For instance, I can remember multiple controller layouts, controls for different games, keyboard layouts, etc - unless I don't use one of them for a very long time. In that case, it will take me about an hour or two to become...un-rusty again.
I think that the problem may not so much lie with game developers themselves, but more with the companies hiring them, or rather with the people telling the game developers just what, exactly, to develop. I mean, in order for a game to be produced and be available for consumption by the general public, a good bit of money has to be poured into it. If the game was released strictly via the internet, the people coding/designing/etc the game would still need paid - unless it was being developed by people in their free time. But I digress. The people pouring the money into the games production - the people that the game developers work for, are probably going to want a say in what gets made, and as their primary goal is going to be turning a profit, they are going to want games to be developed that they know will sell. So we end up with a hell of a lot of games that are nothing but rehashes of games already made, with minor improvements here and there.
There have been some innovative (depending on your definition of innovative anyhow) games that have come out recently, probably due to some companies figuring out that people are starting to get tired of playing the same old games with different faces.
However, the independent design and creation of games (as well as most, if not all other forms of media) is much easier now that it has ever been in the past. This means that people can make their own stuff outside the influence of corporate market schemes, and release it for other people to enjoy. Or sell it. For those that want to make new stuff for the purposes of selling though, it would be very hard to do without working at a game industry though.
Ehh I'm not sure what my point was going to be....there was one though, I fucking swear it.

If you had thousands of servers running Debian, and they were running it just fine, and Debian (theoretically) released every six months....why would you even bother upgrading them just because a new Debian came out? It's not like you would actually have to.
I like using synaptic when I want to browse around what's available for me to install from the repositories...but when I know exactly what I want I would rather just use apt-get.
Sure, but that's because with dinner I would have things in my stomach that absorb alchohol - like bread, and thus less would reach my system. If I drank two beers of any given brand on an empty stomach one day, and then drank two beers of the same brand the next day (again on an empty stomach) that I poured some more water into I would get just as drunk.
No, it's not a password - it's just a bunch of characters, that serves the double purpose of being a deterrent to people trying to get your password. It's not a password for the exact reason that it is not being used.
Yeah I know, sense of humor's out the window.
Slashdot Mirror
He was just seeing if bbcode would work. Thinking outside the box and all. And tinkering.

Can you effectively run fluxbox as the WM?
Great post.
LISP is a great language.
Huh. I went Ubuntu -> LFS.

Unless your sysadmin decides you do.

Personally, I think that they should just add more caffeine into mountain dew.

Was the book "The Mote in Gods Eye"?
So does PPOE work out of the box yet?

Hell, yes. Fluxbox is pure joy. It's like an orgasm in window-manager form.

No, the Pope (all of them) count as being the heads of a branch of government.
Except that there's no such thing as an anarchist who would want (much less have) slaves?
Beastiality is morally offensive to most people - and is illegal in many countries. But whatever floats your boat.
