Yeah, multi-gadgets are terrible - they do neither function well. That said, whether a gadget uses Windows (incredibly excessive for a phone) or just firmware (sensible scale), we geeks are always going to try to put Linux on it. Think Linux iPod, Linux Nintendo DS, Linux coffee machines...
>Miranada is the best open source multiprotocol IM client around How about multi-platform? Sure well-coded OSS ported to Windows is cool (eg The GIMP), but Windows-only OSS? It's verging on hypocritical idealogically (if it could be ported, it should) and very few Windows end-users are ever going to compile it from source (certainly more than 3 commands on Windows (exception perl modules))
I wouldn't argue this mod is a total conversion, but Plan of Attack certainly wasn't, just the first real mod for hl2, still a teamplay FPS. Total conversion refers to HL rally, or before then Snark Racer, or Half-Life Chess, or ZZTetris.
From the screenshots it looked as if this mod is third-person, which is different from hl2 in which Gordon doesn't even have a player model. Kinda a good thing I guess, cos I wouldn't to see Gordon dressed anything like that. Check out http://students.guildhall.smu.edu/eclipse/screensh ots/gallery_ah05.html (better dressed than Alyx for sure)
Edit: Ok I think total conversion means shares none of the same story, textures, models etc. No. I don't have a clue. Correct me please.

Better still replace ads with propaganda, naked pictures of yourself etc, and really confuse your friends if they come round... "Hey Matt, isn't that you their making love to a bagel? What's that doing on Slashdot?"

No, no, no, no! That's not true. Cookies are delicous delicacies.
Blacklisting is clearly just opening more oppurtunies for cyber-crime: spammers threatening to get companies blacklisted by major ISPs unless they pay up. Sending a few emails from fake addresses to the right places is a lot easier than organising DoS attacks from BotNets.
Damn, I knew something was wrong when make started compiling trojan.c!
Oh yeah, BitTorrent is in Phython. Let me rephrase.

Hey, try running Knoppix (where the OS is loaded into a RAM-drive) on my school computers, which I suspect have at most 64MB (possibly less, they might use server or something - yet to get connection in Knoppix). This is painful. That said, it's easily fast enough to "telinit 3" and "fdisk/dev/hd**". ha ha ha ha ha
zeldman.com very cool-looking site, beautiful beige and green tones, but just like alistapart.com the styling falls short because of it's use of a fixed pixel width - in a large resolution (esp wide screen of dual head), it's width capped at around 800 pixels means it looks stupid as a narrow bar down the centre of your screen, wasting useful space, and on a narrow resolution, you have to scroll horizontally. worse still if you increase the relative text size, the width doesn't grow, so you end up with very few words visible despite all the avaliable space...

fc4 is cool (i'm in in fc3, still downloading torrents), but it's being released before the whole fedora foundation thing gets into action, so the old limits related to red hat mean it can't be shipped, sorry distributed, with mp3 codecs, flash plugin, java etc...
However, next time, FC5 will be a true (almost) community distrubition, independant of it's Red Hat uncle. This means we should be able to include mp3 codecs etc. Of course, Fedora still aims to be a community Linux distribution to create an operating system entirely from free software. We might have GPLflash or GPLjava in 9 months (longer development cycle now) for fc5.

What dumb users share their entire hard-drives and then tick the box labelled "allow anyone to see a list of all my files"?

And how many Firefox mods are there out there?
Just the one. Netscape.
Debian?
That's a whole family of Linux distos.
Firefox has a long way to go before it's ever as free or open. Don't know if they're even letting the community maintain the Seamonkey suite.
Free? This must be the same definition of freedom that you're given with audio files downloaded through iTunes.
PlayFair, Apple.

Loss of email hurts more too.

why subscribe to the magazine when you can compile it yourself? ./configure
make
make magazine
you need to get the binding right, or it'll fall apart! and don't link to mobile libraries!

To summarise the summary of the summary: Operating Systems are a problem.
The development cycle has been upped to 9 months now with the new system (Fedora Foundation), so fc5 won't be ready for about a year.
To summarise the summary: I daren't say anything.
fc4 is cool (i'm in in fc3, still downloading torrents), but it's being released before the whole fedora foundation thing gets into action, so the old limits related to red hat mean it can't be shipped, sorry distributed, with mp3 codecs, flash plugin, java etc...

no, i'm just deployed to see you.
