Wanting to control the lives of others is selfish. To live unfettered from the personal whims of others is not selfish -- it's called freedom.

Same. Loki Linux version. I'd really love to see a sequel to that game, although I'm not sure how it could be improved much. I suppose improved AI and graphics would be nice. They'd probably just dumb it down and simplify it though.

Now we can build Gatling Lasers on our units, and we're one step closer to Fusion Power!

About as realistic as all the photoshopped girls.

It could also be the outright theft too. My in-laws are Chinease and not once have they managed to visit without something going missing in their (security) checked luggage. You can bet the government paid thieves at O'hare International would be living large in the event of an Olympics there. The IOC made a good call in my opinion.

Let me know when they have 5U 24 hot-swap drive cardboard rackmount cases. :-) Seriously though, this might be a good idea, I don't know. I do know no one reuses their cases anymore, but maybe a handful of people who know how to put a machine together, and only then if the machine isn't destined to be hand-me-down or somesuch. Just thinking of all the worthless-when-they-were-new E-machines out there makes me think it might just be a really good idea. As far as getting it wet goes, just paint it, which you'd probably want to do anyway just to make it presentable.

They can carry disease, although rats are more dangerous in that respect. Mice may just look enough like rats to trigger the same response.

If I've got my maths right, that only works out to about 250 picobalmers, which is only about a quarter of a thrown chair. That's poor design if you ask me.

The unofficial 64bit ports have been out for years now and released fairly quickly with slackware releases, thus there was much less incentive for Pat to place much effort towards supporting 64 bit himself. I myself have been using slamd64 since slackware 10.1 which was released in 2005 and never minded the couple month delay between slackware and slamd releases. An official port will be nice though.

If an older version can use the same resources better than a new version without a loss of functionality, then what you have is a performance regression, which, unless it's for stability, security or feature reasons, is a bug. The question here, which is not answered, is why is there a performance regression?
