If i'm nost mistaken the rendering software used was linux based and thus emulated on the freebsd machine. Doing so was just cause the main person in charge was a hardcore freebsd guy and didnt really like going linux. They did sacrifice a lot of preformance due to that (refering to an older/. article on this subject). Also, that article went on to state that if they had freebsd based tools it would have done a better job.
Now, the fact that freebsd was used was just cause the guy in charge has a hardon for it, nothing more nothing less. It would have been different if Rob was in charge of that project. (I believe he'd use Mac OS;) ) --

KingPin Story rocked..

Hehe,
I really liked that a lot. Man could almost hear those words in my head. I've been playing kingpin for some time now.. The 100 mb demo is sure worth the download. Love the AI, babes (ewrm hoes) and the dudes (um buddies and fsckers) who hang around corners and beat the shit out of you if you mess with them.. that's uless you happen to have a dollar on you and buy their friendship..
Good game.. where is the linux binary?
PS: the models are much cooler than any q2 engine based game (mode details and so on.. babes have clevage, not to mention herion syring marks). Good game. draws you in more than half-life IMHO. and worthy of a linux port (dont you love games that say fuck every other min -- characters talk) --
That dilbert hole was nothing but a racist/homophobic 15 year old trying to get fame (the wrong way). Apperenly he's been reading too much slashdot.org and though it would be a good idea to get some recognition by replacing dilbert dialogs with his own racst/homophobic dialogs. What a wuss.
And he wanted them to send him a letter. You should see his invitation to dilbert lawyers, this was plain silly, i just wish this guy gets fined badly or thrown into jail. Would teach ppl not to get famous the wrong way. --
The Microsoft chairman noted, for example, that early Internet browsers had been distributed for free, but said that modern browsers were far more sophisticated and could no longer be developed in a noncommercial environment.
Since the Browser battle has ended, this could mean IE would become commerical and thus enslave 90% of the computer users in this world with ther commerical browser.
This is a wake up call for anyone who wishes to for the mozilla project and create a better more GNU friendly software development project. The first thing that should be done would be to kill the name "mozilla" and thus stop the link it has to netscape.
If code is forked, and well advertised, I'm sure even JWZ would come to the new browser's aid. We need a good browser. Soon MS would release i386 copies of IE5 for solaris, which would infact run on i386 linux (just like the sparc version does on S/Linux), using iBCS. This might mean a lot of ppl would move to the more advanced browser (netscape has not put in any new standard complaint features into it's browser since 97).
wake up and beat the devil before he puts a price on IE and enslaves everyone. Make a better browser! --
A lot of ppl seem to have got this wrong, along with Kats (my congrats on a good article btw). NATO web site was not hacked. It was a parody site that was.
... a political playing field, i dont think nerds give a damn about politics.. let alone who becomes the president of usa.. do we? no.. make a new site for that.. and expressing your poltiical feeling in this site just creates opturnitues for flame.. --
If I'm not mistaken, evertime an article is reposted on a popular network, it is editor read and corrected before being posted. (If this is the case, why did MSNBC let this article into their servers?).
Since we all know what classic FUD is, this report shows what diet FUD would look like. Does this mean that one of the two celeron processors on my box (which I painfully assembled after 3 days of soldiering) is not working SMP? Exectly what kernel did these people evaluate? Linux 1.0x?
I'm really suprised a report like this could be posted on a non-biased (ahem) media like MSNBC. Or has the MS part of MSNBC finally eaten up all good reporting? This is seriously sick. Along the line of linux not supporting SCSI, Ethernet, and kitchen sink networking.
Since it's the 2nd of April, I'm assuming that this is not yet another april fool's day slashdot news item
I've participated in a few opensource projects and helped code a few functional utlities that still helps a lot of people all around the world. When Netscape announced the release of Mozilla code, I was one of many to logon to their site and download the tar ball, but alas, it was too hard to decypher. I went through the code for 1 week (a lot longer than most people did). I couldnt figure out 75% of the things in there. So I gave up. (And I guess that is what happend to all the others out there)
Initially when netscape announced the release of mozilla, there were dozens of web sites, hundreds of mailing lists, just devoated to the discussion of what should be in mozilla. Over the past year, these web sites and lists just died away one by one. I guess what most people did not release was, that what mozilla needed was not new functionally, but... stablility, at a good speed. It did not need be a front end to your kitchen skin (should see some of the suggestions made on wishlists) it just needed to fetch a web page and display complying with most statndard as possible.
Then there are those who bitched about mozilla, from the start to the end (i guess when jwz leaves, it might as well be the end). I don't think bitching about the code would have helped making it more stable and fast. Helping the coders, coding it your self and replacing those netscape coders should have been the first thing we should have done. As jwz stated, most people thought netscape still owned mozilla and had full control over mozilla (this was inforced by the inital netscape/mozilla licence,) on that.. i belive mozilla would have been better accepted if it was released as BSD or GPL/LGPL.. most coders were weary of this and stayed away from mozilla just cause of that fact alone... and then there were those who, like me, waited for others to go ahead and do something to the code, test it, pinch it.. see if it bites.. (would a dead beast bite?)
Best jwz quote : I must say, though, that it feels good to be resigning from AOL instead of resigning from Netscape

Would this be used on desktops? Do we have to stop every once in a while, pick up the mouse and give it a good shake? (I dont use the mouse, execpt for playing quake).
Imagine is this built into your keyboard, now that would be something, evertime you type, something gets wound up inside your puter. Or you could always take the light emitting out of your monitor and convert it into engergy which could be reused by the computer.
Redhat software would be hiring ERS as a replacement for it's current president. This was followed by a shocking statement yesterday by the software mini-giant about the removal of all GNU software from their premeier product.
The new licence would be BSD and more than 75% of the kernel contriubtors have agreed to let their piece of the kernel be changed to this new liecence. (All these kernel contributors were given mini-jobs at RH and given a status similar to Rastaman). The rest of the kernel would be filled in by Alan Cox, who in other news stated he might rename this new kernel Counix.
So is it going to be BSD Counix ?
PS: In othernews, 1000 maintiners of Debian GNU/Linux were found dead after a police raid on thier eastern farm hideaway. It seems like they did the logical thing by taking everyone elses life away.

and so was everyone else. I feel this what the writer lost when he wrote his arragont article. He forgot to mention that he too was a newbie once. That he too asked for help/read when he needed to login to an UNIX terminal that he too had problems trying to setup a reasonably secure UNIX box.
I help people, not cause I want linux to take over the world or not cause I live and breath linux, I help people cause once not long ago, I too was like one of them, asking for help, getting help and understanding more of my beast. Eventually I have had it tamed and got it to worship every single gesture I make at it. But this takes time, and a helping hand is always welcome.
There is no easy way to get rid of newbies, let them learn, help them, if they cant make it.. they would leave on their own, if not they would become like one of us.
And remember, it takes a master to teach a jedi how to swing his word. --
If russian crackers get so aggitated about NATO planting some bombs into "Jugoslavia", I wonder just what they think about the number of attrocties carried out by the Serbs in the name of "Ethnic cleansing".
IMHO, It is not it was wrong and incorrect to call "Adolf Clinton". I dont usually take sides on matters like this, but it's pretty clear from what you see in this situtation that the Adolfs are actually the Serbs and Co. And not Mr. Clinton.
Maybe Russian TV only shows NATO bombing their ex-homelands and not the number of mass murders carried out by the parties against people they called russians not that long ago. I hope crackers get a bit more clue next time they go about cracking unknown sites.

According to the Ethernet-HOWTO you need to specficially tell the kernel you have 2 or more ethX devices if they exist.
