There's nothing really new to find out - when the game AI's so sucky that it has to seriously cheat to be an even opponent for the average player, then it's not very entertaining.
I admit I haven't heard of that, so let me correct my point: the windows loader requires jumping through hoops to get dual boot and lilo/grub just works.
The thing is that unlike the Windows' MBR, grub can actually be configured to run the other OS if the user wants. Most distros autodetect and add the appropriate configs, so that there's zero effort needed.
Installing Windows just nukes the existing MBR and the only thing you can do is run Windows, or start searching for a rescue cd/floppy.
Using a bootcd to restore lilo or grub is pretty much the obvious solution if you have to (re)install windows when there's already some other OS there.
C'mon, you still don't get it? Picking someone out because of his skin color, even mentioning his skin color = BAD, RACISM. Doing the same because someone "looks like na Arab" = GOOD, FIGHTING TERRORISM.
Ah yes, the ease of sharing an internet connection using an IP other than 192.168.0.1.
No to mention sharing it to two other NICs. I currently have 3 PCs in my home and I would really like to be able to use the second ethernet card, especially since all I want is getting the internet connection to the third PC.
Unsurprisingly, getting that in Linux took me under a minute, gui-only. I don't want to sound like a linux fanboy, but Windows networking will never be really easy if anything but the basic features are purposefully disabled to force people to buy the "server" versions.
Some BIOSes have a setting called "Disable USB Mass Storage". Mine does; it was _ON_ by default (!). Took me a while to figure out why the hell Windows bluescreened whenever I plugged in a thumbdrive.
Sure, 98SE is way better that 95 or 98, and Me is piece of crap, but saying that 98SE is the most stable Windows ever is a bit of an exaggeration. Most stable non-NT Windows, ok, but it still has that wonderful ability to die for no apparent reason.
I had a W98 crash on me today. It went something along the lines of "Bad user, wants to access a network share, let's crash explorer"
If players can't kill off species or destabilize the system, it isn't much of a realistic one, imo. After all, isn't that what people have been doing since the stone age?
The entire site gets rendered too wide on my IE6 at 1024*768 res. There's a horizontal scrollbar that I have to use if I want to read everything. Changing the font size only changes the font size (duh), the layout stays too wide by about 50px.
Um, yeah, only that there's *nothing* your character can do, apart from learning about the conspiracy. Can't tell anyone, and even killing the gnome that tells you it's-all-true-but-nobody'll-believe-you is, in game-karma-terms, considered "evil". IMO not a good quest design.
I'd agree with you... IF notepad didn't suck so badly on Unix text files. And that's probably one of a zillion tiny annoyances that make notepad.exe a pain.
Slashdot Mirror
Not that you're wrong, but this has stopped governments from torturing people exactly how many times?
Actually, if you wanted it really cheap, you could probably get a beer for around 20c in the Czech Republic.

Apparently, though, GPLv3 and the Apache license will be compatible. Don't know about the CDDL.
We seriously need an "IANAL" checkbox on the "post comment" screen. Will save people a lot of typing.
Is something wrong with Slashdot? A review that is *not* a glorified table of contents???
This particular article spans only four pages, so your joke is a bit out of place.

actually, TFA seems to indicate that the image is file-based and not a raw dump of drive data, so not that destructive.

They lose a sail
Arrr, it's got to be those nasty pirates, taking other people's sails out.
(couldn't resist)
in **AA/BSA-speak, getting a 15% increase instead of 20% would be called "a 25% loss"

Is it just me or do they only benchmark eAccelerator vs apc (vs bare php), only mentioning Zend here and there? Not as useful as it might be..
WEP is (usually) very crappy 128bit. The "very crappy" part being the problem.

The site you mention seems slightly broken in IE, and that is a problem.
Speaking of which, anyone remember I-War? They had a shield concept similar to that.
