I've been running a blog for over 4 years now (it may be in my.sig, I forget now), and sometimes I post every day, sometimes I've even gone 6 or 7 days without posting, but it's still there, and people read it, and sometimes they complain, but really, what does it matter?
I've got the content there, I do it for myself, and if people read it, they read it. It's not like it's paying my mortgage, or even for my bandwidth.
I'm waiting for QuakeWars - Enemy Territory...

Quake 4 Linux

· Score: 1
..and it'll be the first game I've bought on launch days since.... Well, since the GTA games, but other than that, since... Well, Quake.
I'm sick to death of everything FPS has to offer, and I gave up years ago, although I'd test the waters once in a while....
But ET just sucked me in like nothing I've ever experienced. I just can't get enough of the game, I lay awake at night thinking about it, what, 2 years later?
QW:ET had better kick ass. Because if it doesn't, well, I guess I'll just continue to play Wolf:ET.
I like the 12", it's eminently portable, it's very nice for wandering around and working wherever I go, but when I sit down at my desk I just do dual-head out to a 21" LCD. I leave Thunderbird running on the 1024 screen, and occcasionally drop other things over onto it, but most of the apps sit on the 1280x1024 LCD.
I've always been a big real estate freak, and if I couldn't go dual-head when it counted, I'd be singing a different tune, but for a portable, 1024 is fine.
How about adding music?

It drive me *nuts* that they don't list any information about the music used in the movies.
It's a vital part of every movie, as vital as any of the other info listed, but for some reaon imdb always excludes it.
What I'd most love to see is a new punishment for these types of crimes.
They don't get a couple of years in country-club prison, they get 4 years living on minimum wage. They have to find and pay for their own housing, health care and food for 4 years on a minimum-wage job.
Well, the reason I'm asking is that I'm starting a job in a Math department at a University, where I'll have too much free time and lots of underused Linux machines around. They do a lot of very cpu-intensive work, and I was thinking it'd be a fun learning project to put something together.
Come on people, stock performance often has NOTHING to do with the actual performance of a product. Growth gcould be exponential, and stock prices can drop through the floor, especially right now, with stockholders being extremely skittish.
Hell, the only reason I gave up on Mac was when the power supply went on my Mac Plus, and it was $300 to replace it. Then it went again 6 months later, and I went x86.
It isn't the quality of the hardware, it's the known platform that they have to support.
I've got a bunch of sites based on Drupal, and have been using it for quite a while, I've upgraded through 3 versions so far.
The upgrades haven't always gone smoothly, but it's always been worth the hassle.
I've got sites at http://www.libertylost.org/ and sites like http://genome.eutechtics.com/ -- the eutechtics sites are about 25 different "news" sites that I've been toying with to see what will generate traffic. It's really nice to be able to run a huge slew of sites off of one codebase, using virtualhosts. It makes maintaining a large number of websites a lot easier.
The modules are pretty diverse, and if there's something you need that doesn't already exist, it's very quick and easy to build your own stuff and integrate it.
All in all, it's the best CMS I've used so far, and I've gone through a lot of them
* I'm about to go jogging in my new running shoes, created from an exotic foam material that springs unnaturally, preventing injuries to my knees and ankles as I jog - they can take a pounding over and over again, yet their cost is only around $40.
Have they made cases out of this same foam for your kidneys and liver?

Have you ever tried to hire that One Smart Person? Hell, even if s/he existed, they'd never make it past HR.
Or Linux, or FreeBSD, or Be, or....
...how they implement the instant-on stuff. None of this "hibernation" crap, when I open my powerbook, I start working. Done and done.
And it it can be easily implemented on Intel arch, why hasn't it been done?
It says, "Steve Jobs might not approve, but Apple's latest operating system can be installed on any x86 hardware."
It only works on very specific chipsets. Driver support is incredibly sparse, for obvious reasons.
What the hell kind of statement is that?

My test system was a laptop with a 1.7Ghz Pentium M processor, roughly the equivalent of a P4 2.8ghz or 3.0ghz.
Say what now?
Why not use both?

What gives?
I could go ask him, his office is just down the hall.
I'll never forget my first day here, a cow-orker was showing me around, and I walked by an office door that said "Mandelbrot."
He's the nicest guy. He's 81, but you'd think he was about 60. Very funny, and very personable.

There's post-Enron CEO accountability?

Wireless AND VOIP? My GOD, they're geniuses over there, thank god someone finally thought that the two might one day be combined...
I bet that soon, people will even be using wireless to surf the web,

I would give it points, but I guess I can't, since I asked the questoin :] Thanks for a great answer.

A new version of WinZip merits a story on /.? What the hell is going on over there?
Can't the apocalypse wait? I have some stuff to do today....
I agree, which makes the timing superbly ironic, since MS just started locking down WinidowsUpdate for unlicensed Windows installations....

Fewer drivers == easier to QA. It's that simple.
The guy gets SO much credit for predicting the obvious that the word "prohecy" really bugs the crap out of me in this context.

Doesn't he have his own forums?
