Yeah - it's called using a computer - to do a slashdot car analogy, it's like complaining that you have to actually press the gas pedal to go. Or that every so often one must fill up with fuel. These are the same people that 'don't know where their word doc is, and can't find it in the file browser, becuase it begins with 'M' and there window is displaying A-L , still not twigging that it's alphabetical and this means the same as when one os NOT talking about computers...
Indeed since when the fuck did people start complaining about these things. Extracting an archive. Double clicking a file. Running an installer. WHAT THE FUCK! Are you safe to use a computer? Do you want the computer to read your mind and know what you want installed and then magically install it for you - but then how are you going to run the program? You'll have to either choose it from a menu or , shock, double click. aww diddums.
I think the Jesus fish people are more the type that go at 40mph - through a 30mph village, then just stay at 40mph, along the NSL (60mph) they never change their speed. 40 all the time.
PMe, personally I'll goa t whatever speed is right for the conditions (for emphasis - _the_conditions_) , and slow down if I'm over the limit and there is a police (s)camera about.
Op flashpoint : I have tried this game a good few times, but I seriously can't live more than about 10 seconds. (unless I hide) It's the most frustrating game ever. What use is a game if I just keep dying all the time? Most annoyingly I can never even see who's shooting at me I just kinda pop up and instantly die. No fun.
Quake or Quake III on the other hand, is more my style:)
Man I loved the Codies (as they were known by fellow Spec-chums). The Dizzy series of games was pretty decent, and in fact there's a lot of love for this game out there on the net, as I recently had cause to do a bit of searching. Micromachines was also pure genius.
Especially with the Megadrive (Genesis) cartridge coming with an extra 2 controller ports built in for some 4 player action, but something rings a bell, i'm sure you caould have 8 people playing??
Each person using one end of the controller as accel was always on, all you had to do was turn left or right in this mode.
Actually now I think about it I have a feeling these user ratings are indeed generated from the debian popularity stats thing.... or maybe I'm dreaming.
Actually good point, in my excitement I missed that one out. Thinking about it the only time I have wanted 3d speed in a VM is when I ran a linux VM under windows XP and wanted Compiz effects...
For a while now I have wanted to build a virtual myth TV box, so this would require hardware access to the TV cards in my system - that's what Im looking for.
Everyone knows red cars go faster. Red cars with a stripe (or 2) go faster still.
I always thought that factories just produced and sold more red cars than other colours thereby making them more likely to be involved in any traffic violation or what not.
In saying that though I would say the most popular colour on Britains roads today would be silver/grey.
Sweet! Was gonna ask if Q3 ran on it and the link actually has a screengrab of q3. But no FPS displayed. I wonder if this is fast enough to provide a 99% speeed of the host system? Baring in mind as well that even an eeepc can run Q3 at playable rates...
Hmmmm, having used Linux for a good number of years now, I still have problems deciding which software to use, eg. cd burning - i know there are a few K3b, gnomebaker, brassero, xcdroast, cdrtools, nero, etc, but I think it would be quite neat if there was a central place like cnet.com, download,com where these another linux softwares could be put up like that .
Is there anything like that for linux?
I'm reminded of the debian software popularity contest package, and I usually tick the box to submit the info - where can I find out the results of all this data collection?
Look at saving your bandwidth - set up an agressive squid proxy to cache everything from the last 2 months ( @ 25GB/w = 200+GB, not a lot) or something.
But 25GB a week? ~4GB a day? That's 10 hours of TV download (350MB epidodes)each day. I would say that was quite a lot.

Quoted contrast ratios on LCD screens are like PMPO (peak music power output) figures on boom box stereo systems - largely meaningless in the real world.
I could have a display quting the most magnificant contrast ratio, which when I turn the room light on, completely makes the quoted contrast ratio figure irrelavant.
However, the fact is these people are stealing. There is no justification for downloading "free" music. Its not free, its just convenient.
It's not stealing. It is not stealing! The music isn't free either, unless one doesn't pay for their PC / internet access, and storage space.
I don't get the difference between downloading with P2P and seeing a sidewalk sale and walking off with CDs.
Well think about it a bit more then? the difference being that one is copyright infringment (i.e. COPYING) and the other is stealing (which also deprives the owner of the actual physical object, the CD)
Three warnings and cutting off internet access seems to be reasonable.
Only if the aim is to lose as many customers as possible. (ISP customers)
Seriously, if you want unlimited music, sign up for Rhapsody. Its not that expensive.
Well I already have unlimited music, and I don't have to pay for it. It's called usenet / TPB / mininova.. So why would I pay when I could get it for free?
It's digital bits, it's a COPY of data, who cares? So I should be fined and jailed for dragging an icon from one place on my desktop to another, creating a copy in the process? It's totally ridiculous.
10.50 GBP a year??? I think you have made a mistake... isn't it something along the lines of £50 - £100 'reconnection fee', plus about £10.50 a month? (i.e. £30-40 a quarter?)
Plus your ISP charge which will be £15-£40 a month depending on service.
Good job the emergency repair kit caused those issues. Otherwise what would have been the point of taking it if you didn't have something to repair.. What's that? It's NOT a sewing kit?? wtf bbq

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Clerk_Maxwell/ wow. Never heard of him till now, and he's a Scot.
The pic in the article looks like an early screen shot of the first mod tracker program. Strike up another first for the British!
That's actually quite interesting. I'd mod insightful if I had teh mod point0rs.

That's a nice link, thanks.

I bet somebody will buy that. Imagine selling an ethernet cable for 500 bucks. Even selling one has to be worth it.

This isn't a problem fr the last few years I have been in Europe (from UK) Just withdraw your cash and it'll give you it with no fee.
