I really want to build my linux system from scratch, I hate installing a distro and not knowing what software i don't need or later how to upgrade, etc. I want to know where things are, how they work, what else I can get them to do...
Do you linux Gurus recommend this? Or What about distros like gentoo and sourcemage? Has anyone had success with sourcemage?
Is there a book that you'd recommend that clearly explains everything I would need to know to do this? I know about the RTFManPages and all that, but a nice book helps.
I used to run a BBS, the best were interbbs games of Falcon's Eye, though I think some of our enemies used to cheat something fierce. Tons of fun nonetheless. Was always thinking about writing something similar that runs off a central server so that no one could easily cheat:)
and listen to the OGGs. This way I get the cool lyrics and pictures, a legal copy (though I don't believe trading mp3s is wrong), and a perfect backup if I lose my data.
I listen to all my music in.ogg format. I download for free to try em out (usually mp3 cause all the assholes on those services never have.oggs), and if I like what I hear, I buy the cd and rip to oggs. I'm not going to pay to get a digital only copy of something.
How about a counter theory.
People who play a lot of 3d death games (mostly men) have developed the ability to navigate through 3d environments on a small screen.
Everyone has the ability to navigate a 3d environment on a screen that fills their views cause then its just like real life.
case closed please go fuck yourself microsoft and suck on my balls.
Would you really want to code in VB or COBOL or something? Sure the pure assembly is a joke, but i much prefer a powerful "dangerous" language over an ugly "don't worry we'll protect you" one. Though I do like java, which is weird:)
Yep, you can't be a code wussy if you want to code in c++. If something is carefully thought out with c++ all will be fine. If some code monkey shitface write a bunch of crap of course it will be impossible to maintain. That's part of why c++ is perfect:) Give the code monkey's VB and the leet hax0rs c++
C++ will get a little better, maybe even easier to use! There will be more crap languages that try to make everything better like VB but real programmers will never use them (even with a gun held up to their heads, i could be making 65k if i accepted that vb code monkey job but am happier making less than half that hax0ing in c++). Real men code pure assembly but don't mind c and c++. C++ is just too perfect and powerful.
I'm glad the browser and mail client will be more separate. I always thought that was a big ineffiency to have one.exe that contains both of them (i know that shared libraries take some of that overhead but still).
Mozilla is the greatest piece of software ever.
Also, what's with slashdot being all broken? Anyone else getting this or does it just hate me? This was supposed to be a "FP!!!!!111" but I haven't been able to reply for hours.
They done wrote their own Unix(tm)! I mean that "GUI" thing they have blows goats but Solaris is pretty good. We still have our cvs repository here running on a 150 mhz (or something) sun box.
Slashdot Mirror
If you want a cool utility to index and search metadata from ogg vorbis files (and other files), try Scopeware Vision.
I know because I added that feature myself :)
Scopeware Vision is similar but better than this. It only requires 128 megs of ram!
Try the 30 day free trial. It rulz!
FPS in quake iii. I wonder how many FPS would be a supercomputer? 500?
We can't even get internet everywhere. Why is the US, "greatest" nation ever always so far behind with everything. Makes me sick
Thanks Mozilla

First post! Suck it down! Fear my wrath!

don't support the int type.

I have to wait another like 14 hours or something here on da East Coast(tm). Everyone wish me a happy birthday or I'll use windows. I'm serious!
This seems to fight against leaching but I found myself downloading at 7k and uploading at 55k. It doesn't really do its job eh?

PHP? What's that? If you can't write it in pure assembly, its not worth writing!
