This film sounds like great liberal propaganga just in time for the elections. Maybe he'll support the neonazi party next time. He can call it 'Turnip of the Will'. What a load of hate in movie form. =p
I'm glad this guy is an EE, since he doesn't seem to know wtf he's talking about in _software_ engineering terms. You can't compare DirectX and OpenGL. He's trying to say D3D is a better solution just because it's bundled with DirectX which is tied to Microsoft's IDE. If you want to only do WIN32 development, then sure DX is fine. However consider there is only one game console that uses D3D, and we all know how big a market share it has. Sure not all Playstation 2 titles use an OpenGL based engine, but many do. Where as all gamecube titles use nGL on ATI GPUs. Also if you want to bother to port your application to Linux or Mac OS you must use OpenGL. ( 64bit platforms are nice for addressing more memory for those models. Would you rather run Maya for example with more or less memory? )
I'm so sick of DX vs GL for PCs over the years too. They don't do the same thing. This is why Sam started SDL, and several vendors are making similar frameworks. I admit OGL doesn't support all the wiz, bang features in core. However if you really want performance, then using the vendor EXT ( extentions ) are the only way to go anyhow.
I use the WEB interface and Debian however. Debian makes a lot of things easier just with the nice packages and documentation. Someone with the pipe to do it -- email the guy at http://slowest.net and see if they can host his docs!
Here is my guide based on theirs with debian info:
1. Setup CUPS Server.
apt-get install -u cupsys
http://localhost:631/printers
Login at the web interface and follow the idiot proof guide. You could prob do the rest of this using the web interface, but I'll show you how to edit the files. You're a leet Linux user! =p
2. Grant access
In/etc/cups/cupsd/conf
######## Security Options ########...
Allow From 127.0.0.1 ( whatever IPs you want )
3. Setup Cups on client
Edit/etc/cups/client.conf
ServerName
4. Restart cups server and client/etc/init.d/cups restart
First they drive a poor old man to his death in the UK for doing his job. Second they try to kill the truth. Now they're only left with trying to kill of support for operating systems.
I think the BBC has only killed their credibility.
Quite a while back I bought 2-3 damaged Compaq LTE 5XXX laptops for parts. I used the spare parts to upgrade the 90Mhz cpu in the old laptop I had at the time to a 120Mhz ( wow, heh ). Also I was able to build another working laptop using these parts. How much did I spend? Several hours + $50 for a cpu card upgrade and a new laptop.
However, be prepared to reverse engineer the (dis)assmebly -- but if you're on slashdot you might find this to be a new hobby. I still have my old LTE 5XXX notes and some parts if anyone is interested! hah =)
Go grab the Morrowind GOTY pack for $30 and get Morrowind with the Tribunal and Bloodmoon expansions for the price of just Morrowind, and you'll see someone (bethsoft) trying to move the genre a little here and there in the details. It also comes with a great modding tool TES for adding new areas, items, players, etc. Also there are dozens of mods out there already. It's more than the best looking RPG I've seen, since it has the deepest gameplay I've experienced as well. You can craft a lot of you items in game for example, and make money taking raw materials and processing them into unique potions for example.
For you leveling request: You don't level per se - you get better at skills by doing that skill in the game and then get a skill bonus at a treshhold. For example if you want to run fast - just run around everywhere you go and your athletics skill will improve over time. Once you improve 10 skill levels in your focused area of skills you can then choose which attributes to increase. From the example If you run around a lot you'll get a multipler for your 'speed' attribute ( speed governs the skills of athletics, but I won't discss the equ and physics engine ) should you choose to spend one of three tokens on that attribute.
IT's even a GUI for the CLI adverse. It's for recovering ext2/ext3 filesystems via a node grab by date method. I've used it many times to recover deleted files quickly. Also there is the lazrus toolkit, but I haven't personally used it.
I've personally written some simple tools to recover MS Office and RTF files, which is just a little more advanced than grepping a raw device. However, it also handles partial partition recovery this way -- like if you're recovering from damaged zip/floppy. =)
I sure hope no one uses remote machines for development, unless they need to test build on say a remote machine like a mac/sparc. Not everyone owns their own G5s and SunBlades, but more than likely you own the arch you develop for or have it in a lab at work/school.
Why do you assume the keypad will stay the same? In 20 years time -- assuming VoIP is *the standard -- phone numbers won't make much sense will they?
You shouldn't be a slave to the artifact - you should use the concept or the function of the artifact. Don't get hung up on minor details like the grandparent post did. For example sound cards have nothing to do with VoIP -- sound cards are an artifact that only applies to PC users using some software client. Read up on VoIP deployment sometime and see how that PBXs are going first, then maybe the phones that once used them will go later.
No, what I'm saying is that you'll have more devices that are more closely in line with general purpose devices than single use devices. Here in Atlanta something like 75% of households have cell phones and a lot of the single middle class don't even have land lines. Now imagine if multipurpose devices like the PSP/Phone take off, which isn't so far fetched.
Cars don't handle your personal, finanical, and various other types of data. You need to know how to use a computer to a degree to control, maintain, and extract new information from it.
Cars, VCRs, and telephones only do one thing and that's it. Computers are very much general purpose. In fact years from now you can explain what a telephone operator was to your child -- they'll most likely be using some type of VoIP replacement. Why? Well if you don't know how it works in the least - how do you know how to use it well? With the car you should know at least WHAT needs to be done to maintain it, so you can pay someone to do it for you. If you don't know a VCR is obsolete until you can't find VHS tapes anymore what will you do?
What you're missing is that how well you do something sometimes matters a lot more than if you can do it at all....and learn how to change your tire safely, jesus.
The parent post isn't a troll -- it's a sad fact CS students are learning '.NET' which in 90% of the cases is really VB.NET. They can't even figure out how to pipe simple CLI commands together.
You might think 'well why learn CLI?'. I'll tell you why -- CLI is so ortho you can pipe a dozen commands together and not have to write a whole app to do XYZ for some type of maintaince task. Also relying on vendors to make everything for you means you're incapable of doing anything outside their boxed in world.
This isn't no where near a final design -- this is just a prototype made by some fancy desginer. The final version will have ergonomics and other considerations in mind.
Maybe you didn't read the articles on el reg and the -magicbox, and are thinking about the 'Nokia N-NANE'.;)
I hope no ones gets another libelgram from the evil toll booths. ( inside joke ) UT2k4 will have vechicles and stuff, so that's different for those who don't follow epic.
Yeah, Zk - I bought just about every loki game and the sony linux kit for PS2. I also buy hardware with *advertised linux support when possible. I then *register said hardware to let them know I use Linux.
Voting with dollars is nice, but it doesn't mean everyone will support you with a low market share. Linux servers should be supported with Linux clients, but the world isn't fair.
You can install an extension in MozillaFirebird that will replace flash in every web page with buttons. The buttons say 'Click here to run flash foo' or something.
Would this be helpful, or how is 'seamless use of plugin' worded in the evil legalize?

Ah... that's interesting... It wouldn't take much to move volume this stock up or down, and it's not backing up share price with actual earnings.

This isn't shocking and I've seen everyone try to remove the DOS subsystem, rename net.exe and disable and even remove cmd.exe/command.com by using filesystem tricks and depending on windows lame application's handling of these tricks.

Does MSVC++ generate Singleton classes for you in C++ given a class name and a click? Yeah, MSVC++ is pretty crippling after having a truely open development system.

There is the gnome clipboard deamon that stores your selections in a stack / list. I don't know how widely it's used atm.
