Korean players are know to be the best players in Blizzard games in the world, especially Warcraft III and Starcraft, the reason I guess is that they only play Blizzard games, and play them a lot.
I quite happy with this new release, what I like the most about it is the new Active Directory support, I have been waiting for it since I started to use it in my homenetwork. Another impressive feature is UNICODE support (isn't mentioned in the post), one of my family members needed it badly to deal with non-latin charsets. And the new "get" command which is similar to windows "net" is useful too. Keep up the great work SAMBA team!
after using that site to remember your game's name, you can visit The Underdogs, it has lots of info on old games, including downloads, reviews, and copyright info (free, shareware,...).
What I like the most about it is the random pick feature, I found several nice games that I never heard about before, use it when you need a time waster;)
In August of 2002, the first reports began to trickle out describing a new Department of Defense program known as Total Information Awareness, operated by President Reagan's former Deputy National Security Adviser, John M. Poindexter.
Ive been lan-ing this like crazy since its release and I can say it's pretty stable right now, and it's lots, lots of fun, highly recommended for those how own the game. The new cars are awesome, and a great feature that isn't mentioned in the post is player name and health display, really very useful, and I like the new score system. Bottom line: if you own the game, go and download it ASAP!
one of the games I was really impressed by its randomly generated stuff was no one lives forever, every time you reload a game, enemies and puzzle items are randomly positioned through out some parts of the level, requiring different strategy to solve the puzzles every time!
the link in the story gives 404 error, go to nokia's home and click on " Nokia Mediamaster 260 S " link in the middle, this is the only way ican find to get to the product page.
I can understand it if albums are bought, ripped and shared, but what about sharing albums before the release date? Another example is sharing movies before releasing the DVD. That was my point.
I wonder if Sharp is going to use the new kernel in their next line of Linux based products, I have a Zaurus PDA and I'm quite happy with it, if the new kernel gives s better performance and stability, then I'm going for it.
... is how RIAA copyrighted stuff (movies, albums, etc) get shared on KaZaA and other P2P programs as soon as they are released, and sometimes even before! (the case of albums), if they can't protect their stuff in the first place, why are they suing people?
for those of you who have no idea what SkyOS is(and I'm sure there are many), check out this page.
What I find the most interesting about it is that OpenGL and SDL are both ported, along with many of other GPL'd projects like MySQL.
I wonder if this is going to affect Take 2 PC ports, they used to make a PC port for every game in the GTA series after around a year of the PS2 release. I just hope that they'll continue doing so, I have no plans to buy a PS2 any time soon just to play one game, no matter how good the game is.
with the Internet being so much popular these days, I think that filtering some ports can save a lot of hassle, many people use the Internet just to browse the web, read email and chat, so why not? On the other hand, ISPs may add an option to get an advanced connection, in which all the ports are open. my 0.02$
Lord British used to be one of my fav characters, and i play lots ultima online, with the character back, I guess I won't have much time for any other game:/
I don't know how a database system can improve a file system's performance, especially with the unnecessary overhead associated with, the current state of the ext3 file system is doing quite well, and updatedb/locate works fine for me. What can really interest me is something like updatedb/locate but with SQL syntax support, this could be awesome.
checking gamespy stats shows that the most popular online games are FPS and RTS games, and both genres can't be played very well with consoles, due to the nature of console gamers and the console controls. I guess these are some reasons why online console gaming isn't that popular. just my $0.02
Joss Whedon By Zorianna Kit and Chris Gardner The short-lived TV series "Firefly" is moving to the big screen. After taking his "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" feature film and turning it into a successful TV series, Joss Whedon is about to do the reverse with another one of his creations. Whedon has teamed with Universal Pictures to turn "Firefly," a TV cult favorite, into a feature film.
In addition to having adapted it for the big screen, Whedon will also make his feature directorial debut with the project. Plans are to see "Firefly" go into production in first-quarter 2004.
Universal recently acquired the rights to "Firefly" from 20th Century Fox Television, where Whedon's Mutant Enemy Inc. production company has a television deal.
The action-adventure series was set 500 years in the future and centered on a crew aboard a spaceship. The feature version will incorporate the mythology from the show but will take on a more epic feel. Whedon hopes to enlist the entire cast to come back for the feature, depending on their previous commitments, with new characters added as well.
Whedon is producing the film through his Mutant Enemy Inc. along with studio-based producer Barry Mendell. Mendell, a former agent at UTA, used to represent Whedon. Mutant Enemy president Christopher Buchanan is executive producing. Universal production president Mary Parent is shepherding the project.
"Ever since the show went off the air, our fan base has grown even more," Buchanan said. "We've had tremendous outpouring from the U.S. and Canada as well as the U.K., which just finished a run of 'Firefly' over there. Every comic book and sci-fi convention has had a 'Firefly' presence since the show first aired."
For the series, which ran this past season, Whedon produced 15 hours of television, including a two-hour episode. Three shows never aired on Fox but will likely be featured on the series' DVD release, due out in December. Buchanan said fans created such a demand that DVD presales on Amazon.com sold out within 24 hours.
Whedon, repped by CAA, continues to be executive producer of "Angel," which he created. His feature film screenplay credits include "Titan A.E.," "Alien: Resurrection" and "Toy Story."
they didn't mention Deus Ex 2, being a sequel to one of the most successful FPS/RPG games ever, they have a good chance of getting another good game, I wonder if it's still in early stages or something.

in other news, KaZaA users are searching for KaZaA Lite using KaZaA itself, installing it, and getting rid of KaZaA for good!
the java runtime and compiler aren't open source, but the API's source code is provided.
But even the API's source code isn't GPL'd though.
