I just seem to recall a vague problem with -Os and older gcc releases. I think in the 3.x line (which was default for Gentoo until quite recently), -Os would cause problems with things like kde.
The problem with wow pvp is that it's unbalanced equipment wise. While one player might have more "skill" (ie, knowledge of the game, mechanics, tactics, etc), the other player might have better equipment, and can outdamage, outtank, outheal, etc.
Take a look at Guild Wars pvp sometime. Actually, take a look at the Guild Wars Guild vs Guild battles. In those, everyone has access to the same gear, and the same skills (in game skills like heals, spells, etc), making the battles actually about player "skill" and not about who has spent the most time grinding to get better gear.
Another very good site for Guild Wars information (much better than guru IMO) is gw.gamewikis.org. I think it's the definitive source of information about Guild Wars, and being a wiki it can be easily kept up to date.
I've only been playing Eve for just over 2 weeks, so take this with a grain of salt.
My first thoughts about Eve were the same as yours, it seemed like it took forever to go anywhere, especially when I was doing the tutorial courier missions, and having to go 3-5 jumps at a time. And then I learned about Afterburners and fast Frigates. Even a Shuttle is twice as fast as the starter ship. With low-end afterburners, the fast frigate was hitting 600m/s, which makes traveling anywhere really quick and easy. Instas are another option, although you have to either make them all yourself (hard to do, and slow), or know someone/join a corp with them.
That fast frigate is pretty cheap, I had more than enough isk to buy one after doing just the first bit of the tutorial missions. I recently upgraded to a destroyer, which was only 800k isk. I have 15mil isk so far from doing random missions and just picked up my third memory implant from a storyline mission. I helped out some people in the corp I joined do a mining op, and picked up nearly 5mil isk from a few hours of mining Omber. If I wanted to join them every day, I could be flying a fully loaded cruiser in a few days, and a battleship as soon as the skills trained for it.
I do agree that for a brand new player, Eve looks like it'll take forever to do anything, but once you join a corp and get some pointers, it goes really quick.

I agree with Guild Wars as well, it seems like they really went out of their way to reduce or eliminate grinding. About all I do over there anymore is gvg, so I'm not as familiar with the Factions pve side of things, but from what I've seen, that trend is continuing (with the sole exception of eliminating running in Factions).
I'm wondering if this is a change for home users only, or will they be doing the same for corporations as well. I don't want them to be sharing the Internet usage of my company to other "business interests", ie my competitors.
When you're running larger than a T3, you just move to an OC3. You need new hardware, but it's well worth the increase in bandwidth, and when you're talking about needing those size of pipes, the hardware is a pittance.
I use the old Descent key layout. A/Z for forward/backward, Ctrl strafes left, Alt strafes right. I've been using that since Descent I came out, so it's really hard to ever try anything else. I've tried wasd, but it just doesn't feel right.
Add proper Sparc support to that list. Linux/Sparc has come a long way, but it's still flaky on many different cpu types, and silo seems to randomly stop working.
I don't know what is worse, that the computers were misconfigured by enabling autorun on a usb drive, or that their security policies allow wide open outbound access for the data to get out.
Although I suck horribly, I always particpate in the devnull tourney. Great fun. On a new linux install, a slightly patched version of nethack is about the first thing I install once I have the basic gcc/binutils/make toolchain installed.
It really depends on where in the States you are. In the Pacific Northwest, and parts of the Northeast, one can find a large number of smaller brewerys, most of them making a lot of very good ales. If you like hops, one of the local ones here in Seattle makes a very good IPA, Snoqualmie Falls Wildcat IPA. Very tasty beer. If you like a lighter beer, there are some very good Hefeweizens, Widmer and Pyramid being my favorite two. For a slightly darker beer, Deschutes Brewery makes a great Porter, Black Butte Porter. For a Brown Ale, try Big Sky Brewery's Moose Drool. Probably the best beer you can find in Montana:)
So yeah, there are quite a few ales, and in fact it's hard to find a brewery that makes a lager around here.
The only problem with that is for things like wireless sniffing and ids. It's legal to monitor the higher channels, but you can't broadcast on them. With most cards sold in the us being forced into channel 1-11, it's trivial to get around every commercial wireless ids out there by slapping in an ap running on channel 14, and using a wireless card set to channel 14. By unlocking a card used in a wireless ids, one can detect these type of things. By forcing US owners to only use 1-11, Intel is restricting legitimate uses for the higher channels.
Halo 1 on the PC sucked. It was slow and clunky, and what's worse, it felt designed that way. Instead of nice fluid movement with a mouse, it still felt slow and jerky like using a control stick. Movement was slow and awkward, and key customization was almost non-existent. It completely felt like a console game, which isn't what it should feel like on a PC.
No one is going to take them seriously if they come to market with a product called Ubuntu Breezy Badger. There are enough fart jokes already, we don't need to usher in a whole new series of them.
I wouldn't say that he's trying to get the new drivers to run for speed, it's mostly for bug fixes. I had to do the same with an old Dell laptop. The Dell drivers were from early 2003, and had a large number of bugs related to Twinview. By screwing with the inf files, I was able to get current drivers to work on my laptop, and the old bugs were gone. Of course, there are probably new bugs, but I've yet to notice any.
We have about 150 people directly working on our website, in either a development, maintanence or business role. The site makes anywhere from 3-5 million US a day. Bandwidth is between 150-250 Mbps.
I never had a problem with Descent, but most of the friends I introduced it to couldn't play for long. Makes for some very short deathmatch sessions when the people you're playing against can't play for more than 15 minutes at a time.
You should setup a cross-compiler on the AMD box, and build binary packages for your C3. Then you can just scp them over, and not spend an extemely long time building software on the C3.
It takes a little bit of time to get setup, but it quickly pays for itself. I do the same thing here, I have a SH3 box that I build packages for on this dual Xeon. If I tried to build them on that box, it would probably take weeks to build the system.

At least it's better than -Os

I'm using a Dell 670n here right now. Great machine. Shitty as hell case though.
Bruce would've been a perfect Duke. Kurt Russell also would've been a good choice.
So next time try it with Rockbox and some fLAC encoded music. It won't sound like your precious vinyl, but it at least will sound like a cd.
Anyone can do that right now.

Washington State actually. It's legal there, and some guy died last year after he paid for a stallion to have his way with him.
