How much upload bandwidth do you have? It could be as simple as someone hammering your site which would lag everything out. I would disable apache on the Fedora machine and see if the lag stops.
Hehe, it took a good day and a half to compile OpenOffice.
I use to run an Epia 800. Now that was a test of patience. I did avi to VCD video conversions and for an entire film it would be nearly an entire day of 100% CPU usage.
I bought a cheap desktop case for my Epia and crammed an LCD that my friend bought me into the front of it. It is one of the most solid cases I have ever used.
You can find out a little bit more about the mod here:

Not sure whether this breaks forum rules (apologies if it does) but I believe the FMVs from Final Fantasy VII are available on certain peer to peer networks. It's nice to hear of someone's parent actually taking an interest in something like this.
Also Final Fantasy VII rocks my socks.
I find that how the plot of Half Life games is given is very different to most games. Yes you do get your main objectives shouted at you and if you just blast through sticking to them then the plot can seem a bit shallow. But I find that if you slow down and spend some time just wandering around...
Doesn't anyone find it ironic that the box cover used has the words Vivendi Universal on the spine of it?
I don't think I will buy Half Life 2. There's something about buying a game, installing it and then not being able to play it till the game company says you can that just doesn't feel right.
I'd take the game back, get a refund and avoid buying games like that in the future. Vote with your dollars people because they make a whole lot more difference than your electoral votes and opinions.
I just searched on the edonkey network for "rvb" and just dowloaded all the files it came back with, got all of season 1 and all of season 2 that has been so far released.
Does anyone know if this is true? I'd have thought that the advertising on a box for a game would have to loosely resemble the game inside the box. So if you bought a retail version of Counter Strike and they forced an update on you that changed the game in a large way and it no longer resembled...

How does everyone feel about this? I'm personally against it. I dislike cheaters in games but I dislike companies that throw their legal weight at problems more.
The scariest bit for me was as the lift went down you catch a glimpse of the girl in corner of the lift between the lights flickering on and off. Made me jump.
Just finished watching the demo. Looks very good although I feel they have given too much away in the demo already. I would have left off the last scene. Other than that it looks ace.
Rather than boycot Half Life 2 because Valve have no idea when it will be done I'd boycot them for treating gamers shabbily.

I started playing Chrono Trigger about a week a go and I've almost completed it. It's an awesome game. Once I've finished it I'll probably start trying out a few of the other SNES RPGs.
This is what capitalism gets you, large corporations removing the rights of individual citizens. Now communism, there's a political structure that's guaranteed to work.
I must admit Valve do seem to be jerking people around.
The lack of a linux port of half life despite lord knows how many petitions.
The whole fiasco that was steam. It felt like being back in the days of the first colour TV. Me and my 3 brothers would all try to get connected to a games of CS...
When I was about 11 - 12 the doom series would creep me out. Then when I was a few years older it was Silent Hill on the playstation. I played that game so much but it was just so damn scary even after completing it a few times. I played a bit of Alien vs Predator recently and that scared me a...
Thank you to everyone that's been helpful. I've ordered a copy and it should be with me in a few days.
I had to jump through merry hoops getting Raven Shield to work on my LAN with only one copy. That's mainly why I asked since it seems more games are moving that way. Long gone are the days of...
If we have to buy a copy each then we'll buy a copy each, if we don't we won't. I'm not looking for a debate on whether it's morally right or not just a technical answer.
From what I remember smoothwall actually advise against installing any other programs on the router machine and instead suggest setting up another machine to act as whatever sort of server you want.
To get files onto it I believe you can use a program called scp but I'm not entirely sure.
