I paid like $10 for Morrowind on eBay, but I then found out why it was so cheap -- the bundle had no map or manuals. I had to print out a map from the web and I was fine however.
I like games like that -- in real life you'd want to have a nice map of a huge island to really get around on it.
I think Morrowind is the best RPG since Arena: The Elder Scrolls so I may be a litte bias. =)
You know a game is good when it requires Windows or WineX, and crashes from time to time you still keep loading it up. Btw, I was playing with all the patches -- it's just a mem leak or something from playing 2hrs at a time.;)
The United States is dying to lose it's share of the world economy. All this innovation by litagation only hampers real technology growth and invention. You'll see other nations like China rise more quickly than they would have since the USA is busy trying to run itself into the ground while making quatertly profits go up 1%. It's a lot easier to hit a nonmoving target. All China has to do is play catch up in that case.
Hell look at the politics going on the two major parties are doing the same thing by constantly blocking and recalling each other, and not actually getting any work done.
I think Microsoft has already lost the battle, and peaked at 90% of the market. Microsoft has no room for growth and they only lose money if they sue basicly not for profits.
I think you didn't understand my statement. Netscape could become a rebranded IE, since to AOL Netscape is just a brand. Netscape has just been a rebranded mozilla for a while now for example.
I don't think it will happen, but it's possible if AOL found a profit potential out of it.
That's right the French replace all the move's names in judo with french names. hehehe
Instead of using the Japanese they use French for every aspect. Which I think disrepects the sport, but some French have done well in international meets... it's just my opinion that it detracts from a common, shared language in the sport.
So if you say let's pratice the most basic throw --- ( Oh Soe Toe Gah Ree ) they have no idea. =(
It seems AOL still owns the Netscape rights, as I read the press release. What is stopping AOL from making Netscape really a wrapper for IE now? Don't assume anything about the Microsoft/AOL deal, but it looked like they wanted to switch to IE to get rights to use Windows Media at a low fee or even free for the agreed period.
Yeah, you can run Apache and MySQL on Windows 2000, but you forgot Microsoft no longer patches and supports Windows 2000. If you were to run a web service off of Windows 2000, then you're asking for trouble.
Besides Linux + MySQL +Apache can scale a lot better, and has less over head and it's can do more with the same resources finacially and maintence wise. You really want to start down the Microsoft Lincese Plan to hell?
Microsoft might as well stop patching and supporting their current server operating systems, and just release a new OS every year... Oh wait they already do that now, and it means an unstable development platform combined with more restrictions for use with smaller left over resources.
With software patents and international copyright law as it stands, would it even matter if SCO managed to win a suit agianst IBM for IBM's own code ( and then claim ownership of all modern operating systems including *BSDs )?
I don't think anyone outside the US would follow along, since it would be sucide.
The US legal system is quickly tying everyone's hands in the US, only after several companies are ruined will they think about changes in law.
Oddly all our software will be written in India and the like anyhow even if you push Microsoft products, so how long until someone from outside the US takes the new tech crown and a few coders from outside control all the desktop code in the US? At least with Linux you get the source.
You can map things like screensaver, volume, and boring windowing commands (like shade, min, max, etc) to a single key. I use it for my laptop's diamond keys.
A lot of the programs in windows aren't owned in whole by Microsoft. Several of the utilities for example are not made inhouse, and the IP doesn't belong to Microsoft to do as it will.
It doesn't mean anything. Here's horrible analogy: If you had to prove everything in your car at any moment is in fact yours, then I bet you'd be in trouble -- no recipts for your laptop, bag, and your old tennis shoes? Our these pictures yours in your wallet - your not in them!;)
When every cd printing house requires such detailed proof they'd go out of bussiness fast.
My Compaq Evo N600c runs an M6 pretty well with DRI, so I don't know what you're talking about. The Radeon Mobility seems to be some kind of standard equipment on several Dells and Compaqs I know of... btw this is on Debian unstable on a standard 2.4.x kernel and the normal (free?) XFree drivers.
On behalf of the slashdot.org editors, henceforth refered to as the taco llamas, I am issuing you this notice for a suit to recoup losses due to releasing the trade secret of slashdot content.

Linux distrobutions with anti-enduser reputations like debian even let you install in multiple languages these days. The woody release starts off at a prompt in Mandarin, Nihongo, etc that say 'Choose this language for install'.
I think you're confusing (pre)installed defaults with actuall language support. Even setting up east asian language support is pretty damn easy in linux compared to Windows XP. Just because a default preference is American english doesn't mean you can't change it. I've never had problems with recent GNOME 2.x installs and multilanguage support, so I can't say why you're having Euro problems unless you use the wrong codepage/encodings.
I speak and read a little japanese, but it's not needed to use the US PS2 kit -- it's in english.
Also you can even get a debain distrobution for it now. Stop talking about things you never seen or even read about. =)

Want to hurt Microsoft? There's a sure fire way...

If you really want to hurt Microsoft' buy only their competition's products, write letters to OEMs demanding no to the Microsoft tax, and encourage the use of Linux in your workplace/school/home.
If you can replace just one future purchase of a single Windows machine, you knock $500-$1000 out of Microsoft's hands. That really hurts them in the only place they care about.

I still think distributing torrents via gnutella is a better solution. Some combined gnutella/bittorrent servlets wouldn't be a bad idea either...

They use mainframes in Japan for this now, so don't start confusing the issue. Even in the article they imply that... if you read the article. =(
They're not using windows for their payroll I assure you. These machines have been up and running for decades in some cases. =)

Hell you can clone any engine you want.
Like tombraider:

No, I haven't got finished with it yet - but I did start on a physics engine and gameplay already in a private branch. (eg Too broke to check in heh )
Sounds good if you want to hand write japanese. It's supposed to be one of the best kanjipad implementations. =)
What about the possibility of using Gnutella as a distributed and indexable way to find items via BitTorrent?
I think that would give some peer site operators more options and users the ability to search for certian things... pretty sammy tv shows *cough.
I'd rather you didn't...
;)
You can just make a 'date sim' with the same content for xbox. Not that I'm trying to submarine anyone here.

I like how slashcode ate my examples all to hell. I got so used to other boards translating the symbols to HTML for me. =(
#include "endian.h"
That actually includes <endian.h>
the last example was:
#include <dir/math.h>
Does #include <math.h>
