  1. Re:Cameron didn't do T3 on Titanic Director to Make Battle Angel Movie · · Score: 1

    Its amusing that you bring up paradoxes in a T3 thread, given that the entire thing is a paradox.
    Don't send back the terminator, Kyle Reese doesn't get sent back, JC isn't fathered, no saviour!

    And Dark Helmet said evil triumps because good is dumb .. bah!

    This certainly seems to be the case, it would appear to be an issue in the CD/DVD installerbut when you're new game is taking up 4.5Gb an extra 300Mb is but a drop in the ocean

    I trust you've run defrag/diskeeper since the install, I had a similar problem but after tidying up the mess left by the decryption process it takes less time than to prep a pot of coffee to brew, rather than the time it takes it to brew

    Ahh the images from the TV mini they did.

    Unfortunatly the TV mini is to the book as the book is to the radio series.

    Yes you are, it was knocked out by a micro-asteroid, possibly desguised as a tennis ball.

    If you've been tracking 5.3-Beta and want to switch to the RCs and eventual RELEASE, don't forget to change your cvsup tag to RELENG_5_3 else you will end up with 5.3-STABLE, which isn't.

  22. Re:Close to FreeBSD 5.3 on FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7 Released; 5.3-RELEASE Soon · · Score: 5, Informative

    FreeBSD 5.3 supports Project Evil, ala NDIS support.
    It can take binary windows drivers for a majority of networking hardware and use them to run the device.

    Actually it is quite simple to shift in a manual (or stick shift for our pond-side readers) without a clutch, it just involves matching the engine RPMs with the gear+wheel speed for a smooth change.

    The things you learn fast when your clutch cable snaps while driving.

  25. Re:Cleanest? on NetBSD 2.0RC2 Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Aside from FreeBSD's install system, NetBSD is the easiest I've encountered.
    It is much more friendly (well less intimidating) than OpenBSD's although I do have reservations about it, such as it not storeing any options you set at install time, and not booting with RC_CONFIGURED=false by default to alert you to the fact you need to set options.
