  1. Is this a deal? on OLPC Available to the Public Early 2008 · · Score: 0, Troll
    "Buy-2-get-1."

    Does this mean you ay for 2 and get 1, or get an extra one free? Because I can see how this would work:

    1. Sell OLPC on eBay, using strange wording to trick users.

    2. ???

    3. Profit?

  4. Re:KDevelop on What is the Ultimate Linux Development Environment? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yeah, the other day I went to try out KDevelop. Worst IDE I have ever tried...ever.

    I was trying to create a project, I chose my folder I wanted it in. KDevelop then proceded to tell me that the folder didn't exist (I'ts supposed to create it from what I gathered). I tried createing the folder before I started the project wizard. No luck, it whined about the folder existing. I then decided to RTFM before I asked about it. Unfortunetely the manual consists of a few descriptions of what menu options do, and nothing to do with actually using it :P.

    Once I finally got my project created I attempted to checkout my svn repo...nothing, not even an error. Its like the code for that part was empty 0.o.

    Maybe the arch linux build is just fscked, but I dont like it :P

    Yes it is, but its usually much faster to download the patch from a http or ftp mirror. In the last patch they also added a "Background Downloader" which downloads parts of the next patch when those parts are ready (enabled by default). Most users dont even know about this; I can see either alot of arrests/exemptions?

    Even with the settings cranked the graphics were not all that they were hyped up to be (ATI x800xl here with x64 2.5ghz Venice).

    The game was fun, but the loading screens every 5 minutes were not :(. I remember the start: Run up some stairs *LOADING*, more stairs *LOADING*, more stairs then you walk outside *LOADING*. I did enjoy CS:S though.
