    That link is... probably the lamest thing I have ever seen.

    Make the mechanic (and all his coworkers) lives depend upon fixing your A/C and see what happens :D

    Midway through. Part of the station blows, and it appears to shift into a lower orbit (by a few hundred meters at most) and then zooms right on by like someone stepped on the gas pedal.

    Issues:
    1. What the hell caused it to suddenly drop orbit!? Someone fire the retros and we just didn't see it?
    2. The difference in orbital velocity at an altitude difference of 100 meters is nowhere NEAR what is depicted.

    You'd like Guild Wars 2.

    PvP brings everyone up to top level, and gear plays almost no part. It's all player skill and teamwork. There is a small effect, in that you may not have earned all your skill options yet, but what you can get early is not bad.

    When I first dove in, I was a level 5 and was passably competent. I died a lot, but I got some kills and helped hold some strategic.

    When I feel like an MMO, I hop on PlanetSide 2 or Guild Wars 2.

    The first because it's tactical, and player skill trumps any analog to progression the game presents. The second because it's not a recurring cost. (of course, I also find both fun)

    Well, I will admit to not knowing how it actually worked. I would have expected a file() be opened against the library and the data read out of the file.

    If you're not intimately familiar with classification (I'm not) that seems to imply that it used to be classified.

    That's all fine on the file system, but you still end up with your RAM full of copies of the same code.

    It sounds like you've only tried to do Linux the hard way, without tools like Puppet or Chef to help you out.

    Sure, it's a nightmare if you try to do everything yourself the hard way - but why would you do that?

  20. Re:I never got "packaging systems" on Ubuntu Developing Its Own Package Format, Installer · · Score: 1

    No, it's not just an executable. Go look in c:\windows\system32 and c:\windows\winsxs (and in c:\Program Files\Common Files) and you'll find more DLLs than you can shake a stick at.

    Puppy is a specialist distribution (like Damn Small Linux). What Puppy does may not work well for a more general purpose distro.

    You can blame that on c:\windows\winsxs and the 15gb it wastes in the process.
