    Cross pollination is hype. The only difference between spore's Cross pollination and Nethack's bones files is that spore will download other user's data from the internet automagicly.

    I see that in the case ov your blog you took advantage ov Drupal's approach to theming and did as little customization of detailed component formatting as possible. Next time at least change teh favicon!!! :)

    The difference between the Gaming Series cards and the Quadro series card is the Quadro series cards have outputs for 4 monitors, so with 2 slots you can get a nice 8 screen setup going.


    You can do this with gaming cards too, but a quad core motherboard with 4 PCIe x16 slots is hard to find.

    People will buy the book so they can...

    ...have something to throw when you waste a day and a half learning to deal with drupal's idiosyncrasies.

    ...hold it in the corner crying after none ov the 300+ people on the #drupal-support freenode chan is any help, and the simple 5 page website that would have taken you a day to write in html is three weeks overdue.

  20. Re:"blue ray player" totals on HD DVD Player Sales Grind To a Halt · · Score: 1

    The Sega Dreamcast led for sixteen months before the PlayStation 2 came out. The PlayStation 2's main advantage over the Dreamcast was its DVD-Video playback capability. Furthermore the DVD-enabled PS2 cost less than the average DVD player at the time of its release. This fact was possibly the biggest factor contributing to the Dreamcast's demise in Japan.

    Tell me again how much ov a serious contender Sega turned out to be...

    no. konqueror is all that, and a text editor, ftp client, terminal emulator, cd ripping application, and toaster, all in one. It has tabs, and pains, so you can have traditional ftp style interface with remote and local sites viewd at the same time; split into horizontal or vertical pains. or you can have the remote and local sites each in their own tabs. You can look at html/pdf/chm/man documentation in a third tab. And you can open code files from the remote server over ftp in yet another tab, and edit with syntax highlighting and everything. The difference between eclipse and konqueror : eclipse can't render web pages, and konq can't compile c++ programs.
