It's more than just the graphics. Engineers who can repair items, plant sentry turrets, or the ability to launch flying sentries. Medics who can heal/revive teammates or drain energy from the enemy. The ability to plant spawn points can really make a difference in the game balance too. Saboteurs and cloaked snipers, while not that unique, rounds out the player balance...
Yeah, Enemy Territory is great.
Huh? What the fuck is "Kill Zone"?
Well, how do you think you would feel if you were dumped after 10 years?
My kingdom for a mod point!
Bravo, sir.
You have some mobile providers listed there - they're not broadband
Taking just Vodafone out of the list they do a full set of both mobile and home broadband in Ireland.
Mobile providers are almost all offering bundled broadband deals these days and of course you can get the mobile version is you want to move around more and don't mind coping with only a few GB of bandwidth.
Let's take Meteor... 5GB cap, high latency all the time, frequent connection drop outs, unavailability of 3G (or even edge) in many areas...
Not very broad, in other words.
there are plenty of alternatives to Eircom in Ireland, BT, Smart Telecom, Perlico, UPC, Meteor, O2, Vodafone to name but a few

I started off in the PC world with a 486DX/33, with 256K or RAM and a 20Mb hard drive. Did it work? Sure. Did it work well? Sure. I upgraded to 1Mb RAM and a 40Mb hard drive (which was ungodly expensive) to run my 3 line BBS. Why? Because I could.
That's a bit of a nutty spec. My first 486 was a DX/33 - lowest spec around was a couple MB ram and a few hundred MBs (well, over 80 at least) hard disk. Base RAM below 640KB was not even available IIRC.
Only PC I had with a RAM/HDD spec approaching what you describe was a ~5MHz 8086 XT... Still have it. 640K base RAM, 512K EMS board, full height 20MB hard disk and 5.25" floppy drives, Hercules mono graphics adaptor... Must have cost a shedload in its day.
Just out of curiosity, what do you really need out of a Creative sound card that you can't get out of the resident sound on a PC? I would think a quadcore PC these days could mix a mountain of channels in software...
I installed an old SB Live! in a new machine last year as the on board card had at least a half second latency during gaming.
The board chipset is ATI SB600 for anyone interested. Not great.
You can always tar/configure/make in Debian just like you can in Slackware.
I don't generally build from source...
I'd rather they stick with feature-based releases which focus on the quality of features rather than trying to force feature development into a specific duration.
You should try Slackware - Pat only releases when ready.
Apt broke on me again this morning (this time during an upgrade). Find myself thinking "Guh, I wish this was Slack" every time that happens.
don't forget the unexplained brain features that haven't been documented because science can't explain them - like twins feeling what the other feels and people with transplanted organs perceiving memories of the donor.
Explain?! It hasn't even been observed yet.
You might as well say "But your precious science has yet to explain psychic powers and zombies!"
I have of course heard of the comedy program 2.4 children.
That was comedy?! Jesus...
They'll be able to get more precious lines of code in.
I wonder how many lines of code slashbot editors feel is enough to make it a triple-A title.
Oh, for a spare mod point!
So has the Commodore 64:
Posting that on Slashdot is just cruel...
It would be like someone posting the ZX81 web server...
Hrm, not sure the direct link works now. They're called the Pasante Unique anyway... You'll find them on there.
Second the Kimono recommendation, for any and all penises. They pioneered the thin condom and are significantly more comfortable (i.e. feels a little bit more like not wearing one) than the others.
These are intended for those with a latex allergy but they are, in fact, the best condom I've ever used:

It's a bit like cling film (saran wrap in the US?)... but pretty thin yet strong. Fitting isn't an issue as they sort of cling to you after a while. Not to be crass, but combined with a cock ring you may have better luck
YMMV...
