I just *upgraded* to a Geforce 6200 last year...

250W video card? ROTFL! What will they think of next...

FunkyStickman

I think the data files are the same, it's the executable that's different. I haven't taken the time to look, but you could probably copy a Windows installation over and use the Linux main program. Don't ask, I'm not going to try it. So who wants to try converting a Windows install of D3 to a Linux ...

FunkyStickman

I have real hosting now (since this thread's two years old).

http://jeffhendricks.net/D3-linux-files-2010.tar.gz

It's a little less than 10MB. Instructions are in the file.

FunkyStickman

This is from last year, but you get the idea.

FunkyStickman

Munk, thanks again for your hard work. I'll try to set aside some time to try this sometime this week. I've even got a spare Linux server to work with, so should be fun!

I shouldn't even have to show you guys this...

I wasted a couple hours reading this one.

Amen, amen, and amen.

Tell him do not play Subway Dancer or Abend if he wants to get good! Yeah, good at playing Subway Dancer. I'd recommend him playing as many different levels as he can. Have him play against you to get a feel for what NOT to do, and give him tips as you go. After a few weeks of that, he'll be ready ...

FunkyStickman

Good job, Nega. Just out of curiosity, what package manager are you using for Fedora? It sure would be sweet to see some screentshots, too.

FunkyStickman

As far as the CD's not being seen correctly, it has more to do with the add-in card's BIOS than anything else. Not much you can do there. The grub boot poblem is interesting. Add-in cards screw with Linux's drive naming system, though again, it has more to do with the card's BIOS. At one point, I ha...

I had a huge 4-part reply to this written up, but I wound up just deleting it. Basically, I could sum it up thusly: Vista fixed a lot of things that needed to be fixed. It added a lot of things that either shouldn't have been added, or were already available by third-party apps that are well support...

This is my \"Killstick\" which is an old Playstation controller for the original Descent Playstation port...

I got it from a trash dumpster, bought a PSX to USB adapter, and that's what I play with now.

It's sitting in front of a retail box of Linux Descent3.

W00t.

FunkyStickman

Yeah, if you have an nVidia card, the included utils pretty much over all the bases.

Here's my computer workshop (for now). The whole stack of shelves on the right is full of computer parts. It's a bit messy, but I think you'll get the idea.

FunkyStickman

(From what I have been told...) Linux is different from this in that you can change the core of the OS and recompile it as you see fit. WIth Windows you have to use what they give you and you can only change what they let you change. That's basically true. Not only that, but you can actually re-wri...

Ditto for me. Not now, not ever. I'll buy a Mac first.

Here's some of the ones that show the engines better... the big rockets actually have tiny ridges, like courragated cardboard, that run out to the bell. I'll leave them up for a few days. Let me know if that's more of what you're looking for.

Stickman's rocket pics

FunkyStickman

If you can give me a few hours, I can post up some pics of some huge rocket motors (like for the space shuttle) that I took at the rocket testing facility in Mississippi about an hour from my house. I've got pics of the insides of the bells and out, and some of them are really cool... just need to f...

Here's my latest.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Gnome either, but Xamindar uses it for some weird reason..

Welcome to the family.

Kudos. You're the man.

Here's one in New Orleans:

*yawn* Windows what...?

Never mind. I'll go back to lurking now.

From one Funky man to another, he'll be missed, if for nothing more than his numerous contributions to what we call \"modern\" music. Get on up, indeed. Farewell, Great Funky One.

Pwned.

I have about $1500 worth of my original Transformers toys still, along with 90% of the original comic book series.

I just watched the trailer.... I'll be buying the DVD, preferrably with extra material. Maybe the collector's edition?

Dude, it's still Transformers. They rock.

FunkyStickman

Format C: /u

....just kidding. As long as you're using Windows, you're going to strugle with this. Probably your best bet is to create a fresh install CD with nLite, and remove all the bloatware before you even install it.

Krom's right on the money here. As soon as you said \"Intel 945\" I knew the deal. Do yourself a favor and get the cheapest nVidia graphics card (well, at least a 6200, I've seen them as cheap as $35) and it will run circles around any integrated Intel graphics, not to mention you can recl...

FunkyStickman

I use a switch similar to this one . It's cheap, 4-ports, and works fairly well. Downsides are that it is purely mechanical, so you have to have it switched to a machine if it's booting, or the PC will usually stop on a \"no keyboard/mouse\" error. Second, if you have long cables and run h...

FunkyStickman

Dude, I don't know why that exists, or who actually thought of it, but it's freaking hilarious! A \"manateen!\" ROTFL!

I sense a \"goatse\" in somebody's future...

FunkyStickman

Definitely Windows then Linux. I've done it, and they're 100% right. Just out of curiosity, which distro were you thinking of putting on it?

FunkyStickman

Jeff250, snizzap on that Desktop! As soon as I get my hardware finalized and install an OS on it, I'll have some pimping screenies to share again.

As a side note, I love Linux more than anything else computer related, but I think the Ubuntu orange is.... um... pukey.

FunkyStickman

I bet that sucker would work in Win98.... it would be a trip to try it with Mobil 1 Rally with a real clutch pedal and shifter!

I need to make a sim racing cabinet, I really do. Check out www.rscnet.org for ideas...

Merlin, what'cha going to be playing with it?

Nosferatu, I'm with you there. Deidel, after watching you struggle with your new Suse 10.1 x86_64 install, I'm pretty disappointed with Suse. But you're on the right track. I'll be the first to say \"don't use Linux\" if it's not going to meet your needs. It's just a tool, after all. I nev...

I had my top and bottom wisdoms removed separately. After weeks of trying to figure out why I was having massive neck aches for no reason, I figured it out, had my bottoms removed. One was impacted. I was awake for that one, I still have the teeth. Second time, I was getting massive headaches. They ...

I'm gonna have to go with fliptw on this one... Deidel, honestly, I've only seen Linux on my machines hard-lock once, and that was when I was trying to access a CD that I manually ejected. You're running Suse 10.1 for AMD_64? Could be something with Flash not liking the 64-bitness if it happened whe...

Two words: Open Office I think there's an enormous difference between the usability and quality of document produced between a free system like OOo and a commercial one like iWork and Office [2007]. I'm sure there's a million and one reasons people can think of to use OpenOffice related to "no...

The original XBox was based on an Intel Pentium3 chip... the 360, PS3, Wii, and others are all based on the PowerPC chip (which, interestingly enough, isn't being used anymore by the company that made them mainstream... Apple) So saying just because they ported an Xbox game doesn't mean it's just as...

These are good points... when I say \"They can put in anything they want\" that's preceeded with \"as long as it's not illegal:\" I particularly despise MS for their horribly Orwellian business practices. However, I despise them most for the little things: Gaping security holes, ...
