Thanks.

I hate Linux. I did finally get it working after enough tinkering with config files and apt-getting things, but by that time it was like 5am - no time to do anything with it.

For me, the initial set-up was hell, and I can't imagine anyone not tech-savvy (or at least extremely willing to learn) being able to go through it. From then on, though, it's been pretty clean. And I love the eye candy.

congrats on the new job

be sure to read the employment contract very carefully when it talks about intellectual property developed on your own time or developed prior to your employment. i've seen lots of agreements that have blanket statements where people sign away their rights to patents/copyrights in stuff they made long before starting work without realizing they were doing it.

So long as you're allowed, I could look over any contracts you have to sign if you'd like

I have some law background myself, and am in contact with at least one lawyer who specializes in areas that require lots of contracts.

Yeah, I think Calrathan made EA rewrite their contract, or maybe it was UMich, since it basically said everything he ever touched belonged to them.

Well, I'm pretty close to a release, if I can just get this stupid Linux installation to behave. All the development libraries disappeared for no apparent reason. I don't even have stdio.h. Apt-get won't let me re-install them, either, without switching over to "testing", since the version of libc6 I have is newer than what the dev library wants. I can't install the stable version of libc6, though, either, because it wants to uninstall like over a gig of stuff, including apt and other essential things. It gives me warnings that I probably don't want to do that and have to type in "Yes, do as I say!".

So I've switched back to testing to install libraries, which is probably going to break xwindows again. I'm really sick of this crap. I use Linux for like 5 minutes a month, but I have to spend like 8 hours fixing it so that I can use it for those 5 minutes.

Odd, I've only had a few difficulties with Linux, and those have been with the initial install (video card not working). Everything else has worked great. Maybe Linux just hates you.

Out of curiosity, what distro are you using?

In Soviet Russia, Linux distro uses YOU!

So hot. That's the kind of transfer rates I'm getting from the EV1 server. I finally got linux running long enough to compile and test it. I'm using Debian.

Please build x86_64 linux binaries for this release (we're running 64bit servers now...).

You're trying to kill me, aren't you?

XtremeBain · « **Reply #338 on:** November 28, 2007, 01:38:48 PM »

Just thought that with the recent discussion, it would be the most appropriate time to ask.
