by Maarten Goldstein, Mar 14, 2003 6:25am PSTGood morning! I was glad to see that the new ATI drivers fixed a slowdown problem in Freelancer, now I can actually resume playing that game again (I got pretty far in, but then went from a GeForce 3 to a Radeon 9500 Pro). But after a while I got tired of travelling for 5 minutes to get to my destination so I went on to play Age of Mythology instead. There's just something about those Ensemble Studios Age Of ... games that pull me in, even if at first I think there is nothing new. Movie: Well, why don't you say strange or weird? I mean 'hinky', that has no meaning!

There was a bug in the game yesterday where if you opened a door it woulc close, but you couldn't open it again, but it would jiggle and keey playing the open sound. So you ran through a map, progressing through some doors, and you just heard all this haunted door opening sounds, and saw doors jiggling at the hinges. Then while you were watching the doors, wondering what was wrong, an Octabrain would jump out and eat you.
There ya go...a tiny slice of our day, and one of the countless weird bugs that pops up
We're leaving the super large, landscape and sprawling terrain to other games. There are more than enough games doing that kind of thing.
Just so you know what to expect.

great parody of an Apple Switch ad.. The person they
are making fun of is Patrick Grant. Basically he was
commenting that apple never blue screens but the parody
had him repeating himself and then they would show the
apple equivilent of a blue screen.. it was funny but I can't
seem to track it down.. Anyone got a link?

- dozens of 98 annoyances gone
- applications run faster wow
- integrated PPPoE, vid edit etc.
- resources seem to be allocated/used better for individual apps ( no more choppy IE when watching TV with Dscaler..finally)
- just about everything works! only thing I lost was my 10 year old Plustek scanner..new gift for the bro in law.
My only complaint is BF42. It looks like crap when I'm in a fast moving vehicle (plane) or when I look around fast...almost like it needs a "smooth mouse" option to clean it up (not unlike Q3A). I'm guessing it's probably an option somewhere. Some of my sounds seem "muffled" or are much too quiet while others sound fine.
The whole OS has a really nice "feel" to it...I have been missing out it seems. Thanks all for the input earlier.

Linux Desktop Users :
which distro have you found to be the most versatile, least difficult to maintain, least difficult to update, yet still give the user a decent level of power?
Now, I know linux, *very* well mind you (I was the sys-admin of a pure linux webhost). So I'm no newbie. However, I don't want some bloatware that'll hold my hand through every fucking step, or act like it's windows when it's really linux ... I just want something nice and middle-of-the-road. I haven't really used linux on a desktop for over a year now sooooo ..
Suggestions?

Got a new heatsink fan combo and curious to know if it's better to change heatsinks while the heatsink is still warm or not. Pretty sure that if I shut my PC down now it's best to replace it right away. :)
