I noticed you guys put in the crypto stuff, which is *fantastic*! Any chance you got ssh 1.27.7 (or OpenSSH) in there as well? Sure, it extremely easy to download, but it would be handy for newbies who are just starting out and want to be safe.
I loved Descent 1 and 2, but never got a chance to play 3 because... you guessed it... I run Linux exclusively at home. So while porting somewhat older games (~6 months to 1 year) to Linux may be old hat for some Windows users, its _brand_ new for me!
Every time I walk into Best Buy I always see Descent3 on the shelf and wish I could play it. Personally I couldn't be happier about this news:)
Matrox Millinium II & 3dfx Voodoo2 here. Yup, they are a bit long in the tooth, but then again so is my computer;) However, both work *fine* for what I want to do (24bit X and some games like Q2/3, Myth2)
I have to say this is just a fantastic game, very happy it came to Linux! The WWII is incredibly addicting, the graphics are great, and the maps are well thought out. I snagged my copy of Myth2 for like $20 at the local game store, well worth it.
Just my $0.02 worth... Thanks Loki for a great game!
PostgreSQL database support is in the pipeline actually! There are going to be trade-offs tho (ie: disk space requirement is going to grow pretty big) for speed. There's lots of stuff to be worked out, so it will be a while before its done unfortunately.
For those who care, the personal proxy stats script for the OGR project should be done tonight and ready for public consumption. Check out the new ppstats homepage @ http://ppstats.sourceforge.net/. The ppstats-ogr ftp directory is the one you will want to look in. The announcement will also be posted on freshmeat.
Ah, and here again is the difference between a closed source company like Microsoft and an open source project like Linux. If someone finds a severe bug in the Linux tcp/ip stack, the world knows about it immediately and the problem gets fixed. Do we know anything about the nature of those 65,000 bugs? Can someone from Microsoft provide a report of how many bugs there are per Windows sub-system and post it on the web? As a buying customer, I want...no, *demand*...to know what bugs are in the system I am using. If you are unwilling to provide that information, then I simply refuse to buy any products from you.
Again, a single bug in the memory mapper is a hell of a lot more costly than 100 bugs in write.exe Without actually releasing the list and seeing the context of those bugs, then that number if completely useless.
(If the list is available, then someone please post a link to it and I'll shut up.)
Anyone figure out a connection between all these sites that are getting hammered, or is it just random? Perhaps someone had a beef against their former boss (the disgruntled employee theory).
Oh man, I remember this game! I nearly flunked out of college because of it:) As I understand it, Virgin, the makers of SubSpace, went belly-up a couple of years ago. All their source code was locked away...quite a shame. The least they could have done is release the source, I for one would have joined the Linux SubSpace port team in a heartbeat. Do you have information on why they never released the source to this _great_ game?
Loki is doing an *incredible* job providing high quality commercial games for Linux. I've bought lots of their stuff already (Myth2 with the WWII add-on is fantastic!) I've got to say tho, they really need to lobby Blizzard and port over some of their games (StarCraft, WC3 comes to mind).
Not only that, but they also promote OSS projects like SDL. Great job guys, you are filling what _was_ a huge void in the Linux world - games games games!
Oh man, thank god I put in a Limit Order for 20 stocks with a maximum cap of $75 each. That would have cost me $1500. I nearly flipped when it came out at $300. If I had a Market Order for 20 stocks at that price, I'd have to dig out a cool $6000!
As a previous poster noted, I hope no one got burned by this.
I agree completely. Signal 11 all over the place, I can't change even the most basic system setting without it crashing down to the grown. Not to mention that the voodoolib-3.3 that shipped didn't even _work_!
Exactly. I've reported this as a "bug" in the bug reporting system KDE uses. I saw Mosfet on IRC once and wanted to ask him to fix it, but didn't want to sound thankless;)
After looking at the code that does themes (its actually quite simple), the fix to this could be a little tricky to implement. A theme can contain any number of icons that get installed to your local.kde directory. KDE looks first for icons in your local.kde directory (like kfm_trash.png or something like that) and if it doesn't find them, it looks in the global/opt/kde directory. As far as I can tell, the theme manager doesn't track which icons get installed to your local.kde dir, so it has no way to "uninstall" them. In Windoze, there are only a few defined icons that can be changed so its easy to revert back to the defaults. But in KDE, literally every icon can be user customized.
One solution would be to have a list of "core" icons that always get reverted back to the defaults before a new theme is applied. Another solution would be to just remove (actually, just rename) _all_ user icons, but thats not very elegant either. If you have a better solution, let Mosfet hear it.
Are you talking about My Netscape? I happen to think that it is quite excellent, and I have all my fav channels (slashdot, freshmeat, mozilla.org, segfault, linuxgames, etc etc) registered. The free email netscape.net is also pretty nice.
Or should these exist only in user-land? The new version of NTFS has these as built in features (of course they only _now_ getting quota support...)
Compression is one thing I would like to see in a filesystem, although encryption seems like a marketing feature only. I'm not sure how much value you would get for the extra bloat. Anyone know if compression is on the Linux fs roadmap?
It will be gone for good when Linux 2.4 comes out.
Why do you say this, do you mean the 2GB filesize limit on 32-bit systems will be removed? I haven't heard of such a change in the 2.3.x devel-kernel, but then again I haven't been looking for it. Can you share a URL or two that backs this up?

Its getting *real* old already...enough please.
They should, although there are still some countries that don't allow strong encryption. Perhaps a US specific version w/ssh would be appropriate.
