  Re: Ldlite for OpenGL and Linux (and uppercase filenames)
 
(...) I doubt that future OS's will be case-sensitive. If anything, I expect future OS's to be case-INsensitive. Most people (esp. non-geeks) don't see that FILE.doc as different from file.DOC, and it is counter-intuitive for the filesystem to use (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: AOL/Time Warner = The end of the internet as we know it!
 
(...) What will happen when that happens? My prediction: core routers will implement IP-level filters on the entire AOL domain. Hey presto, no more problems.

(...) (URL) these guys a try. I see that they have international shipping, but what is involved, I have no idea, but they have been around for years and do massive amounts of Laser Disc and DVD business. Staggering selection. Bruce (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Anyone here into DVDs?
 
Yes, I thought there might be... :-) I have just invested in a player (multi-region) and would like to establish a trading relationship with someone in the US so that I can get the discs early and at your prices.

Check out this article for some scary predictions of what will happen when AOL'ers get that high speed connection to the internet and start using it in the same way the unsophisticated web user uses AOL.
