man, that should have been a 4... then again, it doesn't directly address the topic, rather misconceptions about the topic, so I guess a 3 is understandble.
Not bad points, although it relates more to personal use than to corporate server use. One of the reasons that I don't use linux at home is having to hunt down and often pay quite a bit for expensive documentation. Hopefully as *nix moves forward applications will begin to evolve with better GUIs. I can usually figure out how to do something by just screwing around with it in the gui and occasionally look at a help file, with command lines I actually have to sit down and read up on the subject. Then again, any time I begin to learn much of anything about a windows app I find out I enjoy it and buy books to find new things to do with it. (A simple example is my stack of Photoshop books... and none of them came cheap). Books are just a big part of computing in general, I guess.
Ummm.... could you please get your friend at IBM to email me telling me how to do this? Because this has got to be the most badassed windows tweak I have EVER heard of, and I do loads of windows tweaking.
This is a damned fine idea. Something I might get involved in if someone started something like this around here or if I had more spare loot. Guess I'll ask around at the next NOVALUG meeting.
I really like this interview. Scott really seems to be a great guy from what I see here. Hopefully with the newer, better OpenGL support out there things will really start to pick up for Linux gaming... and then I can FINALLY stop running Windows!!! Of course in the long run I would much rather just see more games that run in Solaris:)
No decent web browsers is another reason I rarely use linux. Netscape blows ass in any OS out there. Opera is cool, but not all that friendly to neophytes.
Like it or not, IE 5 is probably one of the best web browsers out there. It is still a big bloated mess tho.
Hopefully if enough people BUY Opera for linux, at some point it will really go from a great web browser to a great web browser that anyone can just start using as intuitively as he would use IE 5.
One of the reasons I don't use linux very much is that it lacks the ease of use I need in a desktop system. Sure I can install a dozen different utilities and end up with something that is almost as easy to use as Windows or a Mac, and keep up with the updates to those programs, but it is far more efficient to just run Windows, especially now that Windows 2000 has created a much more reliable (In relation to Windows anyway, it still sucks compared to Linux for reliability) desktop OS. If someone could get me a linux distro where EVERYTHING, especially driver installs and file management were as easy as they are in Windows, Linux would become my primary OS on my non-gaming machines right then and there. And if someone knows of such a distro, please let me know!
At least now we have someone big that the public trusts in the US pointing out Echelon. Now it will much harder for the Government to just blame it all on "conspiracy theorists" once the general public becomes more aware of Echelon.
Looking online just sucks. All I ever met were gay guys, teenage girls, fat women, christians, and other people I want nothing to do with. My fucked up work schedule and poor location for femalez has convinced me I just need to spend more time with Jenna Jamison until I move somewhere cool and get a day job. -da beast!
This is not a democracy, it is a republic. Politicians call it a democracy over and over again to make you think it is, so that you will be more likely to assume that their decisions are the will of the people, and not the will of the people who paid to get them in office.
and you do NOT own the government. They own YOU. They have the right to imprison, torture, kill, slander, and do ANYTHING ELSE to you that they want to. Just check out the case of Mumia Abu- Jamal for obvious proof. And don't forget that congress investigated FBI involvement into the death of Martin Luther King, Jr.. While they said that there was no evidence that the FBI had anything to do with his muder, they did threaten to reveal damning information about him and his family if he did not commit suicide, in response to King's protest of the vietnam war.
If you really look deeply, there is NO GOVERNMENT. Do you think that M$ would be under investigation for Antitrust if Sun and Netscape had each been spending more lobbying the feds than M$ had before the investigation started? Do you think that Mumia Abu-Jamal would be on death row if the Fraternal Order of Police had less lobbying money than Amnesty international? Would the government continue spending billions on a drug war proven to be failing if it were not for the money that the prison industry pumps into campaign funds?
You have no government. You have no freedom unless someone with much more money than you lets you. Don't ever think you are anything more than a slave who can be forced to do anything if someone wants you to do it enough.
you can read about them at http://maclabbet.orebro.se/andreasn/jr/ Juno Reactor is the best trance in the world. They will own you....
Manson is good as well, and Garbage tunes seem to hold up, same with white zombie. And dont forget the mother of all cool music, black sabbath.

An interview with Todd Hollenshead, the id CEO was posted today at The World Gamer's Front. Stop by and check it out now that you have read some words from the mouth of god.
I have to wonder if the people at/. have ever been to Tom "Buy My Book!" Pabst's site. It has degenerated into a lame attempt to sell his crappy book and more advertisements than even the average gaming site. He fudges his results to get boards earlier than other people to review. It doesn't help that he was going on with paranoid rants about conspiracies against him for a while, although I don'y know if he still does this, as I stopped readinghis site months ago.
If/. is going to post about hardware sites, post about anandtech more often. Anand and his buddies know more about computers than Tom ever could, they write better, are more objective, and although they have a ton of ads, they have less than Tom.
In short, Tom is full of shit, and so is his site, and I'm willing t post it attached to my account without any AC crap! Not that it matters,/. moderators will nail this as "flamebait" (funny that they don't automatically do that to Jon Katz's demented writings, not that he does much on/. anymore anyway.).
why do you people keep going about about the whole cracker/hacker thing??? NOBODY BUT YOU CARES! Do you think anyone actually refers to themself as a hacker? If you are good with computers are were ever stupid enough to call yourself a "hacker" instead of just saying that you were good with computers, you pretty much just suck anyway.
Who said anything about ignorance? Not me. I'm all for teaching the stuff, but not as propaganda. Do you want your kids to grow up hearing BS about how hackers are criminals, and all criminals are horrible evil people, where kids are taught to say "no" by being shown movies full of stereotypical drug dealers / pedophiles / hackers? When I was in dare all the propaganda we saw in dare was of hard core ghetto junkies using and selling drugs, and of dirty old men trying to molest little kids by drawing them into the house with sweets or a kitten. We never heard about alcoholics, familial sex/child abuse, or the happy suburban couple that smokes a joint after they put their kids to bed because is spices up sex a little. Truth is propaganda like this is nothing BUT teaching ignorance, and teaching kids these things young doesn't help them respect the government or the public schools when they grow up and learn the truth about life.
Well, the article did say that they were solocitng M$ for fundage. I can just see it now: Pamphlets sent/maild home to parents so that they can look for "warning signs" of hacking such as external modems, books on TCP/IP settings, running operating systems like Linux, which are given away so that hackers can use them for illegal purposes, after all it can't be worth using since NT is so much better....
WOW! Think of how much money would be saved if the teaching them to not spam part manages to pay off! Eliminating the wasted bandwidth, hard drive space, and lost prodcutivity due to deleting spam would save IT companies billions!!!
McGruff whines about crime, but there is still plenty of it. Smokey warns kids about fire, they still play with it. We blow millions of dollars on the DARE program to get kids off drugs, so that they can get older and use them anyway. Targeting young kids about this sort of thing just makes most of them curious about it, so that when they get older they will want to do it more. The ones that it actually scares away from hacking probably don't have the courage to be more than an AOHell using script kiddy anyway.

Very good point, and something people need to keep in mind. As big as the (PC) game industry is, it isn't nearly as people think.
What we really need is a kick ass console with linux as the OS to encourage ports...
Ummm.... could you please get your friend at IBM to email me telling me how to do this? Because this has got to be the most badassed windows tweak I have EVER heard of, and I do loads of windows tweaking.
Thanks regardless!
