Yep. We can thank Kevin Sorbo for that one. Apparently Robert Hewitt Wolfe made the show "too complicated" for people to understand.

The _only_ game I've ever seen to run better in Cedega than in Windows is Anachronox. The level loading delays were significantly reduced, and the game didn't crash randomly like it enjoyed doing in Windows.
However, most games run significantly slower, especially if you don't have boatloads of RAM.
I remember Starcraft running smoothly on a 166 Mhz Pentium 1 with less than 64 MB RAM, in Windows. Try that in Cedega. The thing will be unbelievably laggy, even if you pop in a better video card.
Huh? Have you USED Azureus? You can't even tell it's a Java app. It uses the native SWT toolkit, not Swing. It's a beautiful and snappy app.
It's not about how it [i]looks[/i]. It's the fact that it, just like every other java-based program I have used, manages to eat horrendous amounts of memory. It's a torrent client, not Doom 3...
I, for one, am extraordinarily disappointed with the lack of quality of trolls in this modern day and age. I remember when a decent troll would satisfy my cravings for ignorance. But recently, the quantity of good trolls has been steadily decreasing.
Is someone dumping raw sewage over the side of your bridge? Come one people, you have to _make an effort_
That sounds rather unlikely, considering the slashdot effect.
Not any more. Thanks to the wonderful tabbed browsing feature of modern web browsers, slashdotters can now open the story in a new tab, make a comment, and then close the tab holding TFA. This saves slashdotters the time of actually reading an article, but preserves their reputation as heralds of server meltdown.
I think if a child commits some kind of crime that requires a trial that there needs to be some consequence for the parents. I can't understand squirting out some kids and then letting them run rampant and not having any responsibility for a minor's actions. The excuses for bad parenting need to stop or they need to stop being bad parents.
He was 18, therefore legally an adult. He was quite old enough to understand what he was doing.
Of course, MS and friends are going to gloat over this. They finally caught someone...

I really never saw anything wrong with the gtk-1.x fileselector. It kicked the crap out of what shipped with windows.
Now there's so much reference on pointy-clicking every little thing.
Sure, you can Ctrl+L to get a manual text entry in the new fileselector, but why is this necessary at all? The text entry should be the central part of a fileselector, it should be selected by default...
And with regard to GNOME, the interface is pretty much set in stone as far as users are concerned. Don't like the way it acts? Too bad. The "Actions" menu, for example, which should be set up through a plaintext config file, is a major pain in the ass to modify.
Now there's a good question. What was wrong with the generic installer? Well, besides it being pretty much useless (tar jpxvf openoffice.tar.bz2 -C / would have wasted less time), it did happen to work pretty much everywhere.
Now I have to wait and pray that rpm2tgz will work on these things, because the openoffice people decided that everyone uses Red Hat.
Now I can understand why they would provide RPMs, but the nice generic tar.gz should still be the default download.
His health: Well, I'm back in California and I'm happy to let you all know
that I'm feeling much better.:-)
His intelligence: and then we can look at what
exactly needs to be done to try to switch over to the new kernel series for
11, or sometime later on. I still don't think it's time for that yet (it
will be best to wait until 2.4 can be abandoned)
And his sense of humor: It's the closest thing to a blog I've ever done. (ooooo!;-)
Looks like slackware is back in the running. Welcome back!
I spend more time looking at the current window than switching windows. Therefore, speed in switching from one application to another, or viewing CPU usage, takes a backseat to screen real estate.
IMHO the new Star Trek, as of late, has fallen into an old formula that is fast making me lose interest.
Bringing back James Kirk could breathe new life back into the series: after all, that's how it all started. Even just William Shatner playing someone else might do the trick.
Have you tried DeLi?

Based on slackware and FAST! Nice if you have old computers but nothing to use as a terminal server.:)

With all this abysmal hardware support and horrid tech support, I often recall that Sun has made many a conficting statement in the past, and also that Solaris, Sun's glowing flagship, is still Top Dog as far as this 7-page-license company is concerned.
I would believe that running JDS on linux is just a prototype, to generate hype especially among the linux crowd. Sun seems to be going out of its way to implement this on Solaris...perhaps the final incarnation of JDS will be on Solaris itself, without any Linux or GNU code at all, and completely proprietary. It seems that they will say "Linux just isn't up to par, but if you upgrade to the $599 Solaris JDS, all your hardware will work."

Unfortunately, they wouldn't sell me a disc, citing "legal reasons." Oh well, maybe I'll buy a t-shirt or something.
You're kidding, right?

Well, I decided to just go ahead and build it. It's been compiling for about 12 hours now...
Does anyone know where to get binaries of this little gem? A few higher-quality icons REALLY goes a long way...
And if you're not running firefox with root/administrator privileges, how is that thing supposed to work?

Heh... are we all so blind?
I don't remember noticing this, or hearing about it.
Think it gets like.. 5 hits a month.
It's about to get 5 hits per second
If there's anything you've always wanted to say to your server, now would be the time to say it. Hurry, you've precious little time!
Anyone want to place a bet? :)
Exactly how is this different from password-harvesting trojans/viruses?
It's not like this is anything new.

Well, I decided to STFW, and what do you know, I got it to work. Linkage above.
