  • Re: Yet another Go thread

    [quote user="anonymous_guy"]Since Fedora 17, /bin, /lib and /sbin are symlinks to the corresponding directories in /usr.[/quote] Because Red Hat's pet project, systemd, requires stuff from /usr to boot, and thus totally eliminates the possiblity of having / and /usr stored on different...

    [quote user="MiffTheFox"]If the FHS had any credibility there'd be a noticeable difference between /bin and /usr/bin rather then "/usr/bin is for software designed after 1993".[/quote] /bin and /sbin are (were?) supposed to contain the essential basic tools required to bootstrap...

  • Re: Kilobits and PDFs

    [quote user="fire2k"]Have you actually read the PDF-spec? The format can contain pretty much anything - images, videos, CAD-data, shell scripts, javascript... I also doubt that Sumatra runs in a sandbox, and seeing how broken PDF is, I'd rather use a program that at least pretends to have...

    [quote user="drurowin"]For the record, Frito-Lay uses Intermec CK31s running Windows Mobile 5 now. Awful devices.

  • Re: Re-visit the horror that is Half-Life 1's third party remake!

    [quote user="dhromed"] [quote user="Ben L."]The only thing I've noticed that changed is the graphics. It's got the same issues as the original HL1: The storyline goes away after the first few levels and it becomes senseless "lol we shoot gun at you", and the "puzzles"...

  • Re: Re-visit the horror that is Half-Life 1's third party remake!

    So, compression issues aside... have you actually tried playing the game? Because it's one of the best remakes I've ever seen. It keeps to the spirit of the original, but does introduce some changes - and they are for MUCH better. I was expecting them to fuck it up, and HL1 was one of my favourite...

    Maciuś, nie pierdol... As of the "loads everything into RAM" issue, it's most probably IE6/XP's brain dead method of verifying the cryptographic signatures on the "files downloaded from the internet". I have no idea what they thought doing it, but instead of "streaming"...

  • Re: Auto-Restart Calc.exe After Crash

    Yeah, well, this is a difference between "Remote Desktop for Administration", included in the OS license, and the "Terminal Server / Remote Desktop Server for <x> users" license pack on top of that. Two is enough, if both are used, in 99% cases some dick closed his RDP client...
