I guess it would be interesting to know if it is real cookie dough in cookie dough icecream

cant you just link the app(s) in question to /usr/bin? its what i do, but im a very lazy man

WTF IS A GIRL???

hmm, do I really want to trust Linux reviews by a noted BSD fanboy. At any rate I’m a suse boy myself (or was before the Novell Microsoft thing). Although it can be a little slow, its easily customisable and the yast and sax tools are almost indispensable. I used to use the kde, I found it relatively configurable and fairly pretty. However of late I have downgraded to the windowmaker. The main problem I found was the aggressive disk caching that caused slowdowns and ate ram, once this was addressed it was fast and stable.

Steam Games (mostly cs:s) are the games i play most often, runs ok in wine and faster in cedega. Although if they are going to put advertisements ingame, why did I bother paying for it? I must agree id know where its at those native games run so fast, even faster than the windows counterparts.

duel boot, it'll take you a while to get used to Linux.

Looks interesting, I’ll have a play when I get home from work. Thanks

I’ve moved around alot over the years but I currently have laying about: an ISA SoundBlaster 16 - the best soundcard i ever owned none of that ac97 crap, unfortunately the 4x cd-rom drive is long gone. a 486dx2-66 not a computer just the processor a few sticks of EDO not sure on the size, but guessing by the computers i have owned they would be somewhere between 1MB and 32MB.

I am trying to write a script to run some programs remote from another computer on my network. I was hoping to ssh in using -X and run the programs to save me installing (and configuring) them again. However after I connect to another computer I need to enter my username and password. I was wondering if I could incorporate these into my script for a silent connection and execution of the program or if failing that i could be asked to enter the info in a small xterm, which will disappear after the password in entered and then run the program silently. n.b the password and username are the same on all my computers, if that helps.

since when? Well round here all the stand alone ATMS (the ones that connect through phone lines, like the type in the article) tend to charge a transaction fee, usally about 10%.

Wow Northbridge and Southbridge spec's, looks like someone has been reading there motherboard manual. Call me a noob if you will but wtf is an 'optical unit'?

Methinks this one has been corrupted by the 'shiny things' of ATI.

That killed this thread.

I never use those ATM's anyway, they usually charge. Good idea though, just goes to show how vulnerable some of the banking systems are. I work in a bank, and my warnings about connecting to the central server through port 23 seem to go unheeded (we share our network with Leeds city council, the largest employer in the city).

CS:S (though cedega, fear the frame rate) Neverwinter nights Quake 4 (single player only, multi player sucks) Zelda ocarina of time (mupen 64) Sonic 3 (gens) I just downloaded a shit load of snes games, but I haven’t got round to them yet.

I'm sure you'll be the 1337357 most *<random net speak>* guy in the whole of your school. You know the chicks'll dig that. n.b The kind of shirts i buy are 3 for a fiver.

There are a couple of very similar languages and some scripts/programs to convert existing code. [cynicism]Can you really imagine life without something as powerful, flexible and stable as VB [/cynicism].

Must every post descend into a debate on the rights and wrongs of copyright.

I take a nap after work (about 2 hours) and the go to bed between 3 and 5, then up at 7 and out to work. i do tend to sleep most of saturday though.

Thanks, that worked, it took ages to verify the data but that’s better than downloading it again. Almost, the star trek movies. In an entirely unrelated topic I often find myself wondering quite why I never get laid. I'm all happy now, thanks

Picture the scene, i have been downloading a rather large torrent (15GB) for the last week or so. There's a power outage and my system goes down, fsck runs at boot and BAM! the dam thing deletes my torrent status files or what have you, so essentially the data is still there but it doesn't show in azureus. it was on 96%, so if there is anyway to recover it i would be rather happy to hear it.

yeah, you'd think so but if the new windows drivers are anything like the new linux ones.........

You got anything in your line in, like a TV card? Interference, are the speakers well shielded? Is your computer situated on an Indian burial ground? come play with us Danny. forever. and ever...and ever
