Linux has this neat feature called a "package manager" where you can get new games!/sarcasm.
Actually, in all seriousness, look into ScummVM for linux along with the freeware copy of Beneath a Steel Sky.
At my first real job, this side of the college world, I tried my damndest to make sure I was keeping busy 95% of the time I was on the clock. (Working a tech support line and burning CD patches for the shipping dept to send out.)
As they inevitably do, things slowed down during a lean month and it became impossible to keep busy all the time. The real problem occurred when I asked my manager for more duties; since by 3pm I had finished all of my tasks for the day.
My manager was incensed at the idea and wanted to know if I needed to resign or a new job. In the business world, managers don't care if you're wasting time or working efficiently. All they care about is if the work assigned to you gets finished in the timeframe they required. If that means you spend 2 hours in the morning checking your e-bay auctions, so be it. Who cares, the numbers on their reports are all within spec.
Yet, 6 years later I'm the manager now and I'm perpetuating the somewhat hypocritical business world.

Easy, stay the hell away from these movies you corporate whore.
Easy way to find out. Download wireshark -> http://www.wireshark.org/ Run a capture on the ip of one of the hosts you're trying to send to.
So, for example, if you're trying to the address 66.41.193.0, click Capture -> Interfaces -> Prepare button on the network interface you're using, then type in the filter field "host 66.41.193.0" (w/o quotes) then click start.
Watch your p2p client until it disconnects, then switch back to Wireshark. The last few packets should show [RST] if it's comcast being comcastic and hindering your bittorrent. The final test is to go to www.dnsstuff.com (Or use the program SamSpade) and plugin the ip address to see if it's inside or outside of Comcast.
Oh Please, Seinfeld didn't create anything save for mediocre comedy. In Program advertising goes back decades before Seinfeld was even born. It was well known that only Philip Morris cigarettes were smoked on the I Love Lucy show. So much so, that the writers were banned from using the word "Lucky" in any scripts. Father Knows Best only ate General Foods.
Before that it was incredibly routine to have products featured in variousradioprograms.
And before that plays were known to work in various forms of advertising into the actual production.
To say Seinfeld created the concept of product placement is plain insulting and borderline stupid.
That was a fun game. A little bit awkward to play, but the bouncy mechanics made it a lot of fun.
If you compare it racing games of today, Burnout and so on, Stunt Race fx comes off feeling really slow.
If you compare it to the racing games of the mid 90s when it came out, 4d Stunts, Mario Kart, maybe not f-zero, it was pretty normal.
The motorcycle was pretty fast too.:)
I read about a game a few months back ( I think on/.) and I've been trying to remember the name or find it on the internet, but no luck so far. It's an indie free game developed for Linux (I think). It's a networked 2 player co-op game where the 2 players have to escape from a maze together while co-operating to solve the puzzles. It's a 3d third person adventure and a lot of the puzzles revolved around communicating while not necessarily being able to see the other persons screen.
I thought Phillip K. Dick already explained why this was a bad idea...
There, I edited that for you buddy.
Let's just leave it at that's what you really intended, because otherwise I'll destroy all of my karma in spewing forth a slur of obscenities about how...
well, let's just leave it at that.
I had a dream that Microsoft consorted with Cisco, Sun, Comcast and Intel to REQUIRE a trusted computer to access Internet2. It was billed as the only way to bring "law and order" to the wild west of the 'net.
Most business that use laptops, will leave them plugged in and charging 24/7. The only thing that surprises me is that we don't have more cases of exploding laptops given the heat generated by a laptop under load and the constant charging of batteries. (Yes, I know, the batteries stop charging when they're full. But you lose a trickle of power here, recharge a few minutes later...)
Maybe this will convince more people to take the battery out of the computer unless they need it.
Now, when was the last time you upgraded your sound card?
3 months ago. I have to say, the quality on the new X-fi Creative Labs card are phenomenal. And the new OpenAL drivers that newer games (Like Prey) are using sound incredible.
I felt the exact same way when I purchased HL2. Why shouldn't I be trusted with the software I purchased and *forced* to run this steam POS?
That is, until I had a hankering to play to HL1 again. All I had to do was activate the HL1 key in steam, and Valve let me download HL1 without having to install it from the Cd. Plus, they gave me every single expansion pack (Blue Shift!) that was released for HL1. That's what makes Steam great, as long as you remember your user name and password, you can always install the games in the future. Even if the cds get lost/damaged.
That's pretty hardcore geeking to set that up, but cool nonetheless.
I'm curious, does that hurt your latency/bandwidth very much? And, what kind of script is it? Python, etc?
I concur. Brasso works far better than anything else I've ever tried. As long as the aluminum layer isn't scratched, Brasso will fix damn near any scratch.
If the scratch is a particularly deep gouge, you can also boil the cd for about 60s to soften the plastic.
Descent featured the ability to create portals in game. It was used as a space save measure to fit larger levels into a rather small level cube, but there were still some interesting fan based levels created using that part of the engine.
I'm still pretty new to the Linux scene (So far I've done a FreeBSD, Ubuntu and Fedora Core 4 installation.), but I do have a question. Why are the network drivers part of the kernel? It seems like this would make it more difficult to adopt newer hardware types. Also, since most computers have 1-2 NICs at the most, wouldn't that clog up the kernel with tons of drivers for hardware you'll never use?
Slashdot Mirror
These people aren't suing anyone. They're not the most professional of orginizations, but they're not evil either.
So far, all they really do is make is more annoying for people to share priated movies/music/games.
Hardly worth "link them to child porn and prostitution"
People like you disgust me.

Song song, different tune. Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.
Mediocre writing, interesting story though.

That's the game! Thank you so much.
I've been wracking my brains ever since I picked up a second computer trying to remember this game.

Any ideas?
I don't recall any movie.
I do recall an excellent short story.
Actually, I thought the movie, with the exception of the ludicrously stupid eyeball scene, was an excellent adaptation of Phillip K. Dick in general.

You might give the DS sonic game a try. http://ds.ign.com/articles/666/666139p1.html 2d Sonic + solid polished design = great sonic game.

You might check out Filemon. It's a handy utility that shows you exactly what programs are reading/writing on your HD.
Don't Panic.
