I like Fluxbox, for Backtrack (3) It just seemed cleaner than the default KDE interface you got.

damn... sucks to be that beetle. But, whats kind of confusing, is that they are actually 'tricking' it by making it see things (or not? That was my assumption when they said they were stimulating the optic nerve)

My regular games: Counter-Strike Source Left4Dead Team Fortress 2 Day of Defeat Source

The Onion is always hilarious. Their "Macbook Wheel" Video was great, They got all the house style just right, the only thing that gave it away was that it was ridiculous It made me PMSL :'D

lol

Happy Birthday Darren, I hope you had an awesome day. :D

wow... One guy made a custom TF2 turret case: http://blogs.nvidia.com/sli/2008/01/team-fortress-2.html

I have never completed a cube, not for lack of trying.... I just messed it up and then fixed my mistakes, only to screw it up all over again. I would eventually get a face all 1 colour, but, of course, the sides and corners weren't right, and I didn't want to redo it, so I just left it :P (thats the same situation I get to each time)

Actually, the impression I got was that the stuff you downloaded just gave you a (useless) help file and a (useless) Xbox logo telling you how many controllers you had plugged in. So I pretty much stop that process, and the controller still works fine. Windows recognises it as a Joystick, so you might want to check in "Control Panel>Game Controllers" for it.

You could run a separate server that takes the ustream broadcast and rebroadcasts it into an iPhone viewable format.

The Forum resizes them. Yours is definitely not too big.

Isn't Sauerbraten Cube? or Cube 2? I never got that. It always just crashed when I tryed to play multiplayer. Eventually I just gave up.

Basically, by default, python scripts in windows run through the command prompt, which of course closes after it has executed everything you told it to. I recommend that you use IDLE instead (You will find it in your Program Files) Because it doesn't close when it finished executing code.

StarchyPizza: Its from a video where the sysadmin is playing Halo and this guy has an issue with his workstation. So the sysadmin takes control of it, and there are like 10 windows open full of porn and his icons on his desktop are shaped like a penis, so he auto arranges them according to a grid, and the guy gets irritated and asks him to undo what he did, so he says 'you can't arrange icons by penis'.

the code I gave you was just a complicated way of making you get >>Hello World! in the console. It was to show you how modules and functions work. Just to explain again: a function is a bit of code that takes some variables in, manipulates them and returns a variable or a number or something. Its a simple Input>>Process>>Output system, and it works quite well.

Kyle 2.0, agreed, CoD4 was a bit more Epic, and it really did feel like you were up against it, I think it was because of the voice acting and the fact that you got to familiarise yourself with your AI team, which didn't really happen in CoD5 (They all died too fast), so it really sucked when they all died at the end, but when main characters die in CoD5, its like, 'meh, someone else will replace them fast enough'.

boardbreaker, you have to install python first, the latest version is 2.6.1, you can download it from here: http://www.python.org/download/ When you have installed python, you enter what I told you to enter into a text editor, and save it with a '.py' extension. With the example I gave you, you need to keep the names the same and for simplicity's sake, keep the files in the same directory, because they are referred to in the code. Python's 'default' IDE (that comes with the installation) is called IDLE, its quite good, it has syntax highlighting, and the interactive console provides a sandbox environment for you to test and run things, it also handles errors quite well, and unlike many languages, Python errors are *usually* quite easy to understand.

VaKo: Actually, I just used an iPhone firmware update. But I guess your system works too... :P

for those who don't know who Chris Pirillo is, www.youtube.com/lockergnome, thats his youtube channel. He posts more than one video a day from it, he also has a live feed of his office here: live.pirillo.com. with a community in an IRC channel. he has developed a community at geeks.pirillo.com which is quite new, and he is very open with his community, and in that way he is a very nice kind of guy. I just don't think his videos are for me.

VaKo: Thats also an issue with iPod Touch Updates, although I managed to fix that, permanently...

http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide I am trying to learn python myself :) , and what I found is that you need to learn the basics of python syntax and functions, but if you really want to do stuff with python you need to get the APIs for the various modules you import into your programmes. You learn them as you go. Modules are pretty much a bunch of functions, so, if I had a module called 'helloworld' with code like this: def print(check): if check == 1: return "Hello World!" then I had another python file called 'hell~2.py' with this code: import helloworld print helloworld.print(1) If I ran hell~2.py it would produce this: >>Hello World!

Mirror's Edge has weapons, but your not 'meant' to use them. The guards have them, you can knock em out and take them but I don't think you can reload them, which I think can become quite tedious, but I dunno, It seems fun to be played without weapons.

It unlikely that you are going to go for this, but, an EEEBox? or a Dell Studio Hybrid/Slim? They are both cheap and have a small form factor, they aren't high spec though, because of those other two features.
