No problem, I know what to expect in an untested patch to version 0.1. I'm almost completely unfamiliar with both Gtk and Python but would it be possible to make it so that double-clicking on a game joins that game? I took a little look at the code but couldn't understand much of it at a quick glanc...

According to a really quick test, it works.

Well, if this thing works (I just downloaded it), usercount++. Big thanks for the effort, I've been thinking about something like this myself but haven't got myself into doing it. Edit: Yep, count at least two users. I don't really know python but I'm gonna take a glance at the code too, I don't sup...

3.)if 1.5 patch avail., where? :) It's not available, but it's been in the works for a few years. Outrage (the company) just doesn't exist anymore, and even though the 1.5 patch was pretty much finished for Windows, the game is available for other platforms (ported by other companies), and the patc...

Do they really generate traffic?

Just a few people aren't enough because they probably aren't going to work on the project full-time. I might try to give some assistance at times (but probably not as a full developer) when 1) I have time 2) I know more about the project, for example how I could contribute and 3) I decently know som...

Tried to run it under Linux (using WINE), but it didn't quite work :(. Got a message about something having to do with WinSock. Interestingly, it worked for me. The user interface doesn't act perfectly - text sometimes becomes unreadable (showing a black box where text should be), and the non-stand...

If your CPU overheats under load, something is not correct.

22:49] <[NuB2]Grendel> Also I'm not comfortable w/ this kind of code (same for seti@home) as long it's not open source Open source code leads to cheating in projects like this.

I would be interested, but it's quite late for me so don't count on my presence.

Of course Mac and Linux users can get to IRC, assuming that they find out about the existence of the community there. The same applies to the tracker.

According to the developers, they've paid more attention on decoding speed, as you usually only encode once but decode several times.

I have a feeling that if the CPU were damaged, you wouldn't get even that far.

For Moore to hide his political propaganda He hides it? Not very well at least. At least it's entertaining the way it is, but it's still kind of sad because he may have valid points and they just get lost in the exaggeration.

Yes, it is, but if it came from Saddam's storages, it is not irrelevant when it came from there.

Another recommendation for KeyTronic. Many people seem to underestimate the importance of the keyboard - in *cough* some games you need a lot of keys to be usable at the same time, and the touch is also the more important the more you use it. This is an area where you really can get an improvement f...

For that matter, neither does it prove that the shell hasn't been in unauthorized hands for 15 years - from the pre-Gulf War era.

There's no need to list all different command-line options for different commands, though, just list one: "foo /?" gives information on command-line parameters and stuff for foo. Doesn't apply to pipes, of course, since they aren't parameters for commands. Also, Win2k (and I guess XP and s...

Yep, even just "I've been busy with something that actually gives me a living so there hasn't been much progress" is better than silence. I don't mean to press, of course, but just so that you know that at least I think that way.

Even with battles going on in two different countries we still are getting budget cut backs. The military? The U.S. military budget is pretty large as it is. It just makes me sad when the country who gave you everything calls on you to pay a little back and you refuse. The services provided by the ...

I have a relatively new (well, depends on what you consider new) Nokia mobile phone, and I don't really need most of the features it has either. It doesn't have a camera (I'll buy a separate device if I need one) or other really weird stuff. Most of the features probably don't add very much to the p...

Even though UDP is connectionless, I'd assume that NAT boxes usually use a masquerading table also for UDP packets - if an UDP packet is coming from the outside from an address where you just sent an UDP packet, or something along those lines, it's considered related to the traffic that originated o...

I generally avoid type killing just out of courtesy. In team games if it's on the way of my objectives, which are of course team-based, I'll blast through the keyboard. The opponent's flag carrier starts typing in the middle of things? Too bad for him. He should know better. If he's in some corner s...

I cheated a bit (if you mean strictly the clock frequency) because I have a XP 2600+ Barton, which is ~1.91 GHz.

I also have a 700 MHz T-Bird along with some other miscellaneous stuff waiting for me to get a motherboard and hard disk and build something from them.

Yep, it defaults to the '56k' setting, which is 7 pps. The configuration file is $HOME/.loki/descent3/.Descent3Registry and it's basically a copy of what the Windows version stores in the registry, just changed to a configuration file form. The setting for the connection speed (and type) doesn't exi...

I have a strange problem with D3 for Linux that effectively prevents me from playing it online. Depending on the framerate, it keeps sending way more packets per second than it's supposed to.

I have a Hitachi disk right now, it's nice except that it makes some annoying noise.

One broken disk - or a few th...

Is /dev/dvd a symbolic link to something? IDE disks (and drives) are generally referred to as /dev/hda, hdb, hdc etc. For example my DVD drive is /dev/hdc and I just have a symbolic link called /dev/dvdrom (if I recall) that points to that device.

So what make the killing of the puppy so reprehensible? Killing anything that's capable of feeling pain, and doing it in a cruel way and/or for no reason whatsoever is automatically reprehensible.

Delkian, I think you have a one eyed view of the florida election as seen through a liberal lens seeking to discredit a process that the liberals were really in control of. In fact I didn't consider the 'Florida' part of it at all in the first place - I somehow disregarded it altogether. So, the qu...

I don't see how it could detect anything that doesn't reach the computer, unless it somehow co-operates with the router, which I seriously doubt.
