  Re: New FireFly tonight
 
(...) Yeah... Toto, we aren't in Kansas anymore... This isn't another 'feel-good' ST clone--and it was darker than most B5 eps. there was violence, lesbianism, torture and other stuff all around... Great ep.! Dave K. (22 years ago, 7-Dec-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Keep those 4.5volt trains alive!
 
(...) Good point Chris, I already have the NiCads so I am being kind to the environment by continuing to use them. :-)! I think NiMh are a nominal 1.2volts like the NiCads. I would think that any of the available rechargeable would be ok as I doubt (...) (22 years ago, 5-Dec-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Linux Journal Cover
 
(...) I'll ask Don Marti (the new Editor in Chief) about that tonight when I see him. He's also the president of my local LUG (that's LINUX user's group) which happens to be meeting tonight (www.svlug.org) I wonder whose LEGO minifigs those are on (...)

  Castrol Honda Superbike
 
Does anyone own this game by any chance? The company that made it has gone bust, and I'm having fierce trouble getting it to work.... Thanx, Duq (22 years ago, 29-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: MS IE SUCKS!
 
(...) In a very real sense, it *is* the same platform. (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: MS IE SUCKS!
 
(...) but it's not a port! winex just lets you run the original windows version while booted to linux. All it does is implement (in addition to all the API calls that wine does) the directx APIs that a lot of games use. So it really is the same (...)

  Re: MS IE SUCKS!
 
(...) Not the same platform == not the same game. Even if it's a port. Good try though. (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: MS IE SUCKS!
 
(...) It's fine (but not up to Photoshop's level) for functionality, but has a *terrible* UI -- bad enough that it gets in the way of getting things done. (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Quoting Matthew Miller <mattdm@mattdm.org>: (...) what's wrong with the gimp? I often choose it over photoshop (to the point of rebooting if I happen to be on windows), since I find it much better for my photoshopic needs. (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: MS IE SUCKS!
 
Quoting Larry Pieniazek <lpieniazek@mercator.com>: (...) see (URL) - alternative platform, same game. (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  WTC memorial
 
I had one of my ideas for the WTC memorial 'published' on CNN.com: (URL) (wasn't sure which group to post to, & I new this wasn't a debate, I apologize in advance if anyone is offended by me posting to 'geek' for this sober subject. I wanted to post (...) (22 years ago, 23-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: MS IE SUCKS!
 
Rock on wif yo bad self. Games are a big factor in what system I use. I haven't got the money to buy all the consoles so I get very picky. I base my purchase on not the system and it's performace stats, but the games. Cuz honestly, a gamecube could (...) (22 years ago, 21-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: MS IE SUCKS!
 
(...) Sorry, what equally useful alternatives are there for CounterSrike or Half Life? These are games. Either a game is on the platform in question or it isn't. If it isn't on the platform, there IS NO alternative for it. There might be other games (...) (22 years ago, 20-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) "Pirated versions of Photoshop". I love it. I want to see a study which shows how much the easy availability of pirated win32 software is a barrier to the rise of desktop L inux. Is the slot on your CD burner a Memory Stick slot? Many Memory (...) (22 years ago, 20-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Only because you choose to limit yourself to those exact products. There are many equally useful alternatives. ROSCO (22 years ago, 20-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: MS IE SUCKS!
 
They got Counter-Strike for Linux? Or just Half-Life? How bout pirated versions of Photoshop? I'd have a mac if they made those things for me. How bout a driver for my cd burner from sony that has a drive slot for digi cam card? Well, till they make (...) (22 years ago, 20-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
