The Continuing Death of Pinball
angkor writes: "To me, the first video games were something like electonic versions of pinball machines, so it's sad to hear that pinball is apparently dying off." I'd really like to see a pinball game based on Zoolander, but I doubt even that would be enough to reverse the current trend.
Dude, freebsd and linux on the desktop will rape you in the ass.
really? She told me his ass tastes just like their father's cock. Go figure
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
If Anal Cunt were still together, I think they should do a song about pinball.
You weren't exactly captian of the football team were you?
the poor are mostly 3rd world countries, especially arab nations, id spend all my money on pinball if it meant just ONE sand nigger would die of starvation.. Although I would rather spend all of my money to kill every fucking sand nigger out there but oh well.
but ill just continue buying dvds instead.
So why now? Why did *BSD fail? Once you get past the fact that *BSD is fragmented between a myriad of incompatible kernels, there is the historical record of failure and of failed operating systems. *BSD experienced moderate success about 15 years ago in academic circles. Since then it has been in steady decline. We all know *BSD keeps losing market share but why? Is it the problematic personalities of many of the key players? Or is it larger than their troubled personalities?
The record is clear on one thing: no operating system has ever come back from the grave. Efforts to resuscitate *BSD are one step away from a spiritualist wishing to communicate with the dead. As the situation grows more desperate for the adherents of this doomed OS, the sorrow takes hold. An unremitting gloom hangs like a death shroud over a once hopeful *BSD community. The hope is gone; a mournful nostalgia has settled in. Now is the end time for *BSD.
