It's been millennia (in net years) since I first logged into Slashdot and it seems somehow longer since I last posted. There was a time when I couldn't help but check Slashdot every 15 minutes for the latest news. Slashdot has been a significant presence in my life. This is where I learned the about the attacks on that morning of 9/11/2001.
Rob created something wonderful for us online that has often been copied but rarely done as well.
If you are wearing reflective gloves, it should be easy to track the gloves movements. Using two cameras you could track the distance the gloves are from the screen and decided if any action should be taken.
I think this has already been done without the glove at some univerity somewhere.
My point is, I liked the game enough to be willing to spend extra dollars to get what is effectively the exact same product. Vivendi, by not producing enough copies of CE, has blown an opportunity to collect more money for the same effort.
I am sure someone at Vivendi is either being fired or at the minimum, yelled at.
I installed Fedora Core 2 on an HP OmniBook Xe3 GF. Everything worked except the media keys, for which I installed a small driver.
I was unhappy with the memory usage so I decided to install XP. It had a "Designed for Windows XP" sticker on it and I wanted to find out if it would use less memory and boot faster.
I didn't have the OEM recovery disk for XP so I installed a stock copy.
What a joke. Nothing worked. I couldn't change screen rez without loosing the LCD. I couldn't install updates because I couldn't change the screen resolution. The NIC didn't work, modem dead, WiFI... forget it.
If I didn't have another machine handy to download all the drivers I needed and copy them to floppies, I wouldn't have been able to do anything.
You know... There was a Quake 1 mod where you could fire dogs from a grenade launcher. So this has been testing in combat simulations. The dog would try to bite you as it flew past, in he case of a miss.
Of course everyone knows, when you fire a dog from a grenade laucher it explodes on contact.
You might have something. A new theory claims that the universe is finite and that if you travel into a boundry, space is highly curved and you find that you are traveling back in the other direction.
So it might be possible to view our galaxy as it was in the past. We might have already without knowing it.
There.com sells ThereBucks at an exchange rate of ~1700 TB per US Dollar.
You use the ThereBucks to buy stuff in the game. I don't know of any way to cash your ThereBucks out of the game but the company is definately selling them.

I suggest downloading fport. Its very similar in function to lsof.
Here is an idea for the future. Buy from a middle party that you can get better service from. I have used PCConnection for years, personally and on a corporate level. I have never had a problem returning custom configured equipment to them. Half the buying we did were Apple systems.
I recently used Froogle to buy a new Shuttle XPC. Found the company with the lowest price which also happened to be highly rated by other sites and posts on the usenet.
Now, a clever man would use his real name, because he would know that only a great fool would believe he was given. We are not great fools, so we can clearly not choose Andy. But he must have known we were not a great fools, he would have counted on it, so clearly his name must be Andy...
So you've made you're choice?
You'd like to think so wouldn't you!
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is "Never get involved in a debate over *NIX editors", but only slightly less famous is this: "Never go in against a Geek, when *Linux* is on the line!". Hahahahahah!
Why not develop a walking robot that has two legs and two arms but that could convert to four leg walking when there was room or more stability was required.
The right and left leg could split to form the additional leg or the arms could be used.

> AOL was spun off from Time Warner six years ago into an independent company.
AOL owned 55% of TW. Did TW spin off AOL or did AOL, acting as the controlling entity of TW, spin off a dying product they called AOL.

I considered making a Minority Report style system using HoloPro Rear Projection Foil and one or two web cams.

This question was asked before.
Here was my answer then.
My point is, I liked the game enough to be willing to spend extra dollars to get what is effectively the exact same product. Vivendi, by not producing enough copies of CE, has blown an opportunity to collect more money for the same effort.
I am sure someone at Vivendi is either being fired or at the minimum, yelled at.
I guess I'll find out if the local EB I purchased it from got enough/any copies.
Amazon lists it as:
"Availability: This item is not stocked or has been discontinued."
I wanted to give Vivendi more of my money but they decided to leave it on the table.
I'll downgrade to standard edition instead of waiting a month for them to get their act together.
I agree 100%.

Fedora was MUCH easier to setup.

Shouldn't it be:
do() || do_not(); try=null;

How about right now?

Oh my god. I couldn't stop laughing.
On Win2k?
Here is what I got when I tried your suggestion.

FreeSpace is the last reason I owned a joystick.
After FreeSpace, the joystick went into a box and I never bought another one.
Sounds likes its time to find that damn box.
Why not develop a walking robot that has two legs and two arms but that could convert to four leg walking when there was room or more stability was required.
The right and left leg could split to form the additional leg or the arms could be used.
For that matter, why not add retractable wheels.
Lets build a transformer!
If passwords are at fault and sshd was the service that was comprimised then get rid of the passwords and use RSA challenge-response authentication.
There are ways to make sure that the system you are running cannot be comprised from the outside even if the attacker knows your root password.
Don't offer services that can be used to administer system to the public internet.
This product has been temporarily discontinued. We are currently working on...
They aren't making the 266MHz system any more. Its likely that it wasn't selling. So they try to grab your attention and get you back later.
What they should do is ditch that page and put up a page describing the new design.
