that's a bad idea swaret and slapt-get can bork your install very easily unless you know exactly what slapt-get does
it's much wiser to rsync the current tree then following the instruction in UPGRADE.TXT which is basicly go to init 1 upgrade glibc shared libs, sed and pkgtools then the rest: for i in a ap...; do cd "$i"; upgradepkg --install-new *.tgz; cd..; done; updatedb && ldconfig; init 3
i don't like gaim, the layout strikes me as very odd
in the past i was a zealous amsn http://amsn.sourceforge.net/ fanboy but since version += 0.94 amsn has become full of bugs and very slow... i've found a imo better java based msn client now although it's freeware and not Opensource
it's called Mercury and i love it http://www.mercury.to/ anyway people not happy with their *Nix msn clients should really give it a try
sickle-cell anemia True... (black) people who are suffering from this dicease probably won't be able to be the next Michael Johnson but iirc sickle-cell anemia is a mutation that protected them against malaria
I loved the original SiN 2. But Valve makes me truelly angry
First they succeed in making a mainly c/c++ and opengl based engine (quake - quake 2) in their own
bastardised form and then they publish a game
i was silently hoping for for quite some time
in very expensive episodes truelly that episodes thing is just another way to squeeze customers
Truelly i'm gonna boycot them for many years to come.
It's 2 bad tho i truelly think that if the last part of SiN wasn't so bug ridden
it would have powned Halflife ass by miles
do you recall the awesome stealth missions??? the underwater levels
The ability to only shoot headies and wear the armor of your foes
The awesome ctf and deathmatch modes with that cool grappling hook
and offcorse the awesome levels at the beginning - middle of the game -- thank levelord (duke nukem 3D) for those tho
I had an ATI 9200 se 64 mb on my machine (slackware) and well the X radeon module worked on slackware 10.0
and when it worked life was good but since i've upgraded slackware to 10.2 and later on to current
the radeon module didn't work no more:( for some reason after 1 min of glxgears, quake3,...
it totally hanged my system and forced me to do a hard reboot!
I can say tho if the X radeon module works... stick with it atleast with that driver you can start multiple x session, x servers,... and change colormode
With the fglrx proprietary drivers you do not have that choice... you have 1 working colormode: 24 bit and if you try more x servers... it will hang your system.
At least that's my experience been and also another pro for nvidia is that their site
is very organised and you can download almost every driver they have released and they release solaris and freebsd drivers as well.
avoid ati mobiles gpu's
if you need good 3d performance go for nvidia
if 3d gaming is not what you need go for intel integrated graphics as they
have released their drivers opensource iirc and it's in the kernel as we speak
i've tried suse 9.1 back in the day and since then only touch slackware now i call yast Yet Another sucky Setup Tool i truelly hope they've improved it because albeit it looks nice
this seems like a wonderful tech but i don't get why they are aiming so low
physics is a vital part of games yes it yes... but
this makes me think they are only aiming for the easy money
i do think if the specs were open hence call it gpl'ed if you want
not only would the game market benefit from this tech but also
research centra, universities,...
I knew somebody would say that:D but it's nice not having to disable it in the first place, no? I get the confusion tho i hate that default win xp theme as well... it looks like it's made by toddlers for toddlers
well i think win 2000 pro is the only decent windows.
Xp is way 2 bloated... win 2000 has the old win98 like gui but it's much more stable
And it doesn't ship with propaganda during install which i found very odd
truelly can't they make an army of cyber dogs or something
I really hate bugs, i would even admit to be scared of them
they move weird, act weird, fly weird and they crawl in every hole they like
yuk plus all those freaky bug movies and tv series don't really stop the fear of them
You have got the mummy with the scarabs, CSI episodes, various X-files episodes,...
We had this movie when i was young dubbed in french although i could not understand a word of what they were saying i watched the movie frequently and remember i was scared to death when that monsterdog fetzkiek popped out of his mousehole and said graawwwlll.
what do they mean hl2 is not required. That they build an entirely new engine to run these episodes or that the episodes itself will contain the HL2 engine as well so i could buy episode 1 and play CSS ?

this is awesome i loved that glider in the movie, and i loved the movie as well
:D
I just hope we can keep our underpants on
there is community
:D
you have the a.o.l.s usenet newsgroup and more importantly
the ##slackware channel on freenode
that's a bad idea

this is one of those techs i thoughed they allready had for a few decades ...
right on !!! :D
after that movie i've decided to only use gtk apps
Well then i think you are one of the lucky few :D

mmm didn't know that thx for the info tho
And who the hell moderated me 100 % overrated
True

What are these half-features that make xp better?
it looks odd, it plays odd probably 2
but if someone is able to do it righ... nintendo is the right company for the job, no doubt about that
truelly can't they make an army of cyber dogs or something

i hear no sound neither with mplayer nor (g)xine which audio codec do you use?
