If it was "Manhunt 2: Search for Bin Laden" or "Manhunt 2: Kill All Terrorists" it would probably be lauded as a patriotic masterpiece no matter how violent it is. you mean like Postal^2 was? oh, wait...
How much CPU time has 5.x used after playing for a couple hours? With 2.91 I see a similar memory footprint, and usually less than 5-8 seconds of CPU usage for several hours of playing (depends what I've been doing). 1h53m in the 4 days since it's been running (this on a 500MHz machine). they sure fucked up with the 3.x series, but 5.x with its media library goodness is worth it.
I tried 3.x and 5.x but both are just too bloated an application when all I want to do is play MP3s. 5.31 with classic skin here. 1387 tracks, 21.75GB, 5.8M memory used. really bloated.
But what about the LEGAL P2P traffic, [snip] RTFblurb
The rumor is that Scarlet will be forced to deploy the same software as MySpace uses (Audible Magic [CC]) to filter illegal P2P traffic from the legal.
I can't think of a better place to mention it than the Slackware 12.0 announcement thread in Slashdot, because it's probably going to be read by both Slackware users.
No, all they have to do is scare your customers away, by dropping unsubtle hints that they might be sued at some point in the future, if they use your software (without buying a "license" from MS).
you mean like SCO did? really insightful there, buddy.
I think he was claiming that for his particular application (a firewall), he didn't need anything more than what it already provides.
how is that relevant to the discussion? 4.1 brings all kinds of goodies to the table: new nic drivers, hoststated, pf related improvements, sensors and more. just rtfrelease. these changes are all related to "his particular application".
this is the typical remark of the "nerd" with a single old box in his basement: "why should I upgrade?". you shouldn't. install it on your test systems, and if it works out deploy it on your new installs. and eventually you'll upgrade the older ones too. or more likely, you'll just apply the security patches and chug along with the old systems.
I'm not an upgrade nut. we still run 3.8 on "production" systems, but the newer ones have 4.0 (and pretty soon 4.1) installed.
I don't care what the fuck he is running. nobody is holding a gun to his head to upgrade. this stupid question *always* pops out. and you can compress this thread down to three things: 1, does it run Linux? 2, why should I upgrade? 3, did you forget about the song?
to answer your interesting questions: 1, yes it does with Xen or COMPAT_LINUX. 2, you shouldn't. 3, no we did not.
If it supports your eth cards than that's it.
4.1 comes with a shitload of NIC updates.
You don't need anything else. At all.
you need it to support the rest of the components in your computer unless you plan to run it straight off the NIC
However, I'm very unlikely to upgrade to any new version; why change something that works perfectly?
nice troll. to add support for more platforms, new devices, new tools (hoststated niceness), bufixes, etc. are you the only OpenBSD user? do you expect progress to stop just because you're happy with the current state of things?

professor Eppes, is that you?
maybe because APT isn't written in Python?
/ducks
there, fixed that for you.
Wouldnt this be covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act already?
perhaps he just needs a firmware upgrade?
Regardless, it's an incredibly stupid thing to say. I can come up with broad similarities in both games that I'm sure you'd want to see in Fallout 3.
how about a car analogy?
A pocket XBox perhaps?
a pocket for the XBox and a wheelbarrow for the controller?
You're supposed to put periods inside quotation marks, not outside.
bullshit.
One day, somebody will eventually get the chance to poke him hard, and he'll crumble like the house of cards that he is.
how many points is a Jack-Thompson-Splatter in Carmageddon?
Why does stupid shit like this keep getting posted to the front page?
because of Zonk mostly? ok, not this time but still.
CVG is reporting on comments made by Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart .
with a name like that, I'd fucking beware by default.
or that "shitty non-database" MySQL that manages to store all the bazillion comments/stories and is constantly hit.
Newsflash: bloggers are idiots. Film at 11.
Can we have an URL? What is this Google thingy? ;)

Slashdot is a perfect example of a loosey-goosey "good enough" MySQL application, where speed is important. The data accuracy isn't that important.
+1, Informative my foot. what about adwords? oh wait, you were talking out of your ass like all MySQL bashers.
OTOH you wouldn't want this behavior for your corporate accounting ledgers, so there you'd be safer using a "real" database
