I've been playing it this morning. I'm not too impressed to be honest.
Whereas I'm getting around 60FPS in the single player game, the amount of crap (i.e. radiators, filing cabinates, chairs) that's being thrown around in the game really slows the game down and makes it jump around and stutter. I've also been experiencing quite bad lagging on the few servers I've tried.
It also appears that there's only two maps included... Well, that or every server admin out there has already decided that they'll only put two particular maps on rotation. (I may be wrong, I haven't checked this out properly yet.)
All in all, a nice addition, but either my computer or the game could do with some optimisation before it becomes playable.
As mentioned in the above paragraph, the Prepreg actually helps to dictate the static impedance of the trace on the signaling layer/s. The impedance is determined by a combination of factors such as the Er, or dielectric constant, of the Prepreg, and the height of the trace above the copper layer, which is itself determined by the thickness of the Prepreg that is utilized.
Err, from my experience with Windows (not very recently, haven't booted to WinXP since installing Linux), 95% of the patches tell you that once installed, they can't be removed.
What do you do if that messes up your system, eh?
Also, the patch delivery system sucks. It doesn't scan what's on your computer, it only checks the registry. Not to mention the privacy issues, but I think that they're mostly FUD.

Then I stand corrected. :)
import glob; for f in glob.glob("/tmp/*").sorted(): print f
You're still allowed to use ; to break lines.
That's all well and good, but don't forget that this kernel only has to interface with one set of hardware.
Things like the Linux kernel has to know about hundereds and thousands of different devices which is why it's so big.

They have that.
...sitting in the UK thinking I was safe from this type of stuff.
Ah well, at least I'm safe in the knowledge that ReiserFS can delete a rather large number of gigabytes in a few seconds...
Next those bastards will be trying to sue me for eating my crumpets with tea! Limey scum.

What the fuck?
Or you could just let them play on the Linux version of UT2k4 and lock down the machine.
Not only apt-get, there is also:
:)
emerge (my favourite)
yum
red-carpet
urpmi (?)
arch (pacman?)
The list goes on - there is no need to track dependancies any more. (Unless you're a Slacky
Export to RTF.
:P)
It keeps all formatting, is open (?) and cross platform, and it opens in Word.
There is no excuse to use propriatry file formats to store your data. Like you've just said yourself - you're stuck.
(I need that spelling plugin for Mozilla... I know, I know.
P2P filesharers everywhere have just creamed themselves.
Don't use Word (or any other WYSIWYG word processor) for something that important.
:s )
Use something Open, Free, and great.
LaTeX
(That furry icon scares me too...
I'm all for a Descent sequel, but whatever happened to originality?
If the makers supplied drivers, someone would make an easier interface for using printers.
Why bother?
When you open the link, assuming the error page doesn't change the link itself (didn't RTFA), you can click in the address bar and press Enter.
Viola.
I refuse the RTFA (being on /. and all...) but I swear TA better be in there somewhere.
Funny?
Should've been voted as Troll.
I'm no zealot, but I've got compiles running here in the background that aren't bothering my use of the system at all. (Thanks, 2.6).
Get your facts right before you slander a very good (but no where near perfect) distro.
Hahahahahaha, this story just made my day.
Better than the Simpsons... SCO vs The World.
emerge sync
emerge -U world
(Or apt-get, whatever floats your boat).
Not that hard, is it?
Did any customer actually fall for their 'legal disclaimer?'
Well, if they made $10 million I guess at least someone did.
Put Linux on them all and build a beowulf cluster.
Why not use Gentoo then? It's got just as good package management as Debian but without the arcane cruft. It does take longer to set up, however.

genkernel?
:P
You goddamn pussy. You're using Gentoo, you're supposed to sort out your own damn kernel...
God, n00bs. Will they ever learn.
