Exactly, and this is breathing a lot of new life into the Quake community. I suspect many players will make their way to Vanilla Quake 3 and likely CPMA as well.
Well the Quake 3 engine is most definitely cross platform, and is being ported to many architectures (as seen by the ioquake3 posts here), but I think the real battle id is facing is not getting the engine itself running, but getting it to run inside the target web browsers. As far as I can tell each browser platform does this in a slightly different way, and I think there are already separate builds for IE and Firefox on Windows to accommodate this.
+1, I've always loved how mac software is bundled this way, and how they have special backgrounds/icons (or however it's done) explaining exactly what to do.
I've gotten into the habit of reflexively holding down shift whenever I insert a drive or cdrom, either that or you can just disable it completely.
I should point out that -n disables password prompting, and this was testing using the same user, so I'm not sure if this is actually what you meant.
Sick, it does work:
while true; do sudo -n whoami; sleep 60; done
At first it returns:
sudo: sorry, a password is required to run sudo
But after using sudo from another terminal it returns:
root
I don't have any particular naming scheme, I just use this page http://www.seventhsanctum.com/gens/adnamegen.php and refresh a few times till something cool sounding comes up.
If you teach your children to like computers and to know how to gamble then they'll always be interested in something and won't come to no real harm.
