so speed is something for young boys? yes, you are missing something. and second of all, even the new durangos have 340hp, its not that much. have you ever driven anything remotely fast? if not, i suggest you keep your mouth shut.
aha, thats what i was looking for, but the server is down, figure that. i was hoping for a mirror, but the email address will suffice. glad you were modded up.
however, i dont understand why people do this. is there really security gained by using your linux box instead of a $30(what i payed for a netgear, used) router? not only that, but the power used for doing this or having an old p120 routing for you easily makes up for any money you saved by not just buying the router. you have to fire up your machine just to get the other one online, too.
maybe they could let you choose what they display. shoot, make it a streamer for gaim like AIM has the nyse. shoot, maybe add a freshmeat-esque box to the/. homepage for the distros you choose.
i know it was partly a joke, but seriously, youre right, it woudl be insane to have them all. no matter how big, thered be 1 guy in the middle of nowhere yelling "hey! how come you didnt include billy-bob linux??"
why has redhat always done that? with 8 and 9, it seemed like they would span all 3 discs with stuff for a light install just to make sure you had them. i always figured with a gui-less install, they could fit all of it on the 1st cd to save you time and cd-rs(not that those are expensive).
indeed, holy carp(not a typo, i find the idea of a blessed fish amusing). ive had opera running with several(13) tabs open including the mail client for weeks in win2k and its only using 44MB. i dont think the question is "why on earth..." but rather "how on earth" coudl a browser use that much?
The less tech-savvy of us will of course assume "this browser sucks, it can't render this page correctly", when it is the page itself that can't be rendered properly within standards guidelines.
while i agree with this completely, the fact remains that people still see it as the browser not doing its job well. as countless people have said before me about OSS, linux, etc, people's perception is key. they have to see that it works all the time(again, their perception, of course) like IE or windows or there is no reason to change. IE comes in the desktop, why use anything else? it does an okay job...
it's an unfortunate fact, but it remains true nonetheless. i think that OSS has to be considerably and consistently better and prettier than the Microsoft (or whatever else) product that is the popular choice right now. ive switched to opera because it does enough things better than IE that i see it as far superior. what my wife sees is that it doesnt always work well with multimedia w/o changing preferences. she doesn't like to have to fiddle with stuff liek that.
you know, i never use it full, so i didnt notice that. the ad banner even goes away. huh. i still dont particularly care for it full screen, but it would indeed make the most use of jaylee7877's screen, if its all that important to him
ill take your word for it, i never played 2 or 3. i was referring to unmodded quake 1. sure, the map matters. i mean, with the rocket laucher in the level with the lava in the middle(the end of the first part) you could pick off people as they spawned and the halways were so tight that blast off the walls did all the damag you needed. however, in close quartered levels, the plasma gun was deadly, especially with a few folks in teh room
i dont know what opera browser youve used, but have you used the one from opera.com? the banner takes up no less vertical space than the buttons on the left already do. okay, maybe few pixels, but im not worried about that little amount. its negligable, really. yes, it is very simple.
if that banner wasnt there, it would be blank space. it doenst bother me at all. there is no way i can see to make it useful for me and if they want to give it to me for free just so they can put text ads up there occasionally, thats ok with me.
i dont have any crashes at all, same as these other folks answering you. as i stated above, mozilla is friggin ugly, for whatever diff that makes. opera is fast, clean, and has the mail client that will leave pop3 mail on teh server(i admit, i dont know how common that last one is, but outlook wont do it)
my one complaint is multimedia. flash and quicktime are good, but anything that is supposed to use windows media player doesnt work yet. not huge, but annoying.
because there is nothing wrong with the adware version. i have no reason to reg, so its free, just like mozilla. not only that, but mozilla is ugly IMO. really ugly. it does seem to handle some of the multimedia stuff a little better than opera for now... i just really prefer opera, it seems faster, its prettier, and i love me some gestures. more power to both of them, however.
i never played any of the mods, really. i played fvf, which was awesome, but it had like 8 completely new characters each with new weapons. every time i used to play the original quake, rockets pretty much ruled. i did like the nailgun, tho, that was good fun.
Just get in there, get killed, have fun, and you'll learn. Ignore your scores while you practice
you said it. thats they key, just get in there and let er rip. one tip to original poster: no matter how temping it is, do not become one of the "jumpers." it just looks ridiculous. thats a joke, son, laugh.
i did that once, but i was pretty sure it wasnt my fault(it didnt involve the afore-mentinoed mines). i hadnt thought of that tho, i bet new people do that all the time. they see "team kill" because they stepped on the mine and report it
agreed. even the demo allows full playability on the wake island map. ive played just the demo online for hours. i havent played MOH, but bf1942 has got to be one of the best. ive noticed that it is a lot easier for noobs to learn, as well.
dont necessarily need a lan, you could just play online with just them. that way, no lugging machines around and less tiem travelling. my friends and i play diablo2 like that. the guy w/o the router hosts the game and the rest of us just connect and play like its battlenet
you know, i played that for the first time the other day and was in awe at the quality i got for free. beautiful maps, relatively smooth graphics, and pretty nice gameplay. the objectives and style of play involving teamplay are great.
however, i found that a lot of people dont tolerate noobs. i hit a couple of mines in a game and they almost voted me out. pissed me off that i had been playing 15 minutes and they just coudlnt stand somebody new playing.
as much as i love it, quake is a rocket fest. you can be a reasonably better but if you have any other weapon, you will lose against the rocket. sure, some people are pretty good with other weapons, but the rocket rules 99% of the time. i dont have a problem with this at all, however.
that being said, i agree with everything else you said about AA. the realism is nice, but its nice to just be able to jump right into a game like enemy territory(which, for those not in the know is for linux as well)
agreed, i love american football and played it every year it was available in middle/high school (175lbs at 6'2" is a little small for a lineman in college) but it is one of the most poorly-named sports in the world. the foot plays such a minor role in the game. let's get it renamed to hitball or something.

its an installer, go ahead and use it
haha, i sure hope so. then microsoft/wine can be the next SCO/linux. oh wait, i spose it would be different since code woudl actually be stolen...

very cool indeed, but i dont think you want the demo to cost more than the project/contract itself
no flame, i assure you.

isnt that the point of it being a percent? its large for them

without a doubt ill play again, however.
