it's a good feeling to look back at what you once had and realize how impotent it is in today's standards. it gives you a good perspective of how irrevelant today's technology will be tomorrow.
there have been a few variations of PC backup devices for PSX memory cards onto floppy or HD. however, i've never heard of one for the N64 though. keen.
from what i understand, the game is being translated manually now, for image hackers. but by the time any progress will be made, the game will have hit US shores, i'm sure.
you don't honestly think sony could have "won" this battle did you? besides, it's pointless. when you buy a game you don't pay for the CD, you pay for the right to play the game. so, people who actually want to back up their games for safe-keeping are being unfairly targeted in this anti-piracy methodology. how unfortunate. in any case, i back up alot of my games, so i'm happy abou this.
crap like that gives ex-crackers like myself who would actually modify 'ps' and utmp/wtmp source by hand, just to be able to explore in peace. sigh. cracking has gone point-and-dick.
i've been running off the same slack installation for about 3.5 years or so now. all i do to keep up to date is grab the source, recompile, and remove outdated libs. now, isn't that much easier than downloading 80 million rpm's and not being able to configure it correctly?
i'm always getting connections from *.microsoft.com computers listening to my ice/shoutcast streams (http://rosspages.ml.org:8000) and checking out my webpage. =P
if anything, i think Sierra's move strengthened the reputation of proprietary software, by actually putting the customer first. that's a rare thing these days, especially in the software industry.
i'm sick of watching everything turn to RPM while tons of mindless drones download and update to a newer buggier release of whatever random package redhat distributes. i'm sick of people coming to me for every single little problem they have simply because RPMs don't fully cover their needed configs. if anything i've seen redhat and RPM's turn more people off than onto linux. after referring people to a simple slackware distribution and some howto docs, i find that they usually have a better outlook on linux in general than during their redhat experiences.
yeah...i wasn't planning on it to be in the kernel. that would be bad. but seriously. how hard do you suppose it would be just do a simple vga background for the console? and...who could i contact about this?
ok...i've never visited the lyrics server, myself, but as long as he puts proper credits on his lyrics pages, how the hell is that illegal? or more importantly, who fucking cares?
i'm not siding either way...all i am stating is the facts. india has great technological skills and dedication, but the fact is, there aren't many powerful indian companies around. most of the technological workforce is employed by the US and Japan.
considering that the US employs the greatest percentage of Indian workers abroad, for use in the tech industry, this is not a necessarilly smart move for the Indian government, as it may come right back into their faces.
I'd just like to see a version of DB2 out for linux soon...preferably free, but i don't consider that a necessity at this point. considering that DB2 is an incredible database system, some linux exposure, sometime soon, would be nice.

soon little kids everywhere will want to be this guy, and he'll wind up on a box of cereal in china.

i want to see a bandwidth burst
i guess it's fairfax's turn to feel an awesome dearth of bandwidth that is the direct result of...

CD's...no mp3s or anything digital
But what about Dead can Dance?!

forgot to compile X with threading support last time. damnit
yeah...i wasn't planning on it to be in the kernel. that would be bad. but seriously. how hard do you suppose it would be just do a simple vga background for the console? and...who could i contact about this?
does this sound like a plausible idea for future development? i thought it would be an interesting idea for console backgrounds... (?) opinions?

wouldn't it just be easier to drill some power cord holes in a fridge or something? =]
