Does for me. Only use it for games though. DiabloII and UT right now. Yes there is a Linux binary for UT, but the win binary actully works better for me.

EVERY single time gaming on Linux comes up we have everyone post about how easy it is to program for Windows and how much more difficult it is to program for Linux.
This needs clarification.
Some Windows programmers want to try to code for Linux. They realise that before they start you have to know what a makefile is, possibly learn automake/autoconf, command line compiling and debugging. This has scared more than one windows programmer. Some of them need a full featured IDE if they are going to touch Linux.
I'm not talking about every win coder here, more the general attitude.
I don't for one minute think that the libraries available in Linux is any worse then the libs in Windows. But those "need-to-get-the-shit-going-now" programmers never makes the point to actully use them.
What I think is needed is a good IDE for the persons that prefer them. KDevelop and Anjuta is looking good but possibly not quite yet up there with Visual Studio.
If you have ever programmed with SDL I can tell you that a programmer would have to understand much more tricky stuff than that if he want to be in the bussines. I'm not a game programmer myself but I have used SDL to port a DOS game once. It took a couple of hours to grip the basics. Not much if you planning a carrer on game programming.

So the hacking danger here is very much limited by the need to guess message numbers, which is slow going. And while there is a handy program for bruting the numbers it's quite slow, trying only about one message page per second in 'fast' mode.
First of, multithreading the app comes to mind.
But the real issue is that it is possible to get someone elses data without logging in as that person or even have the password. Thats flawed.
Whetever or not you practicaly can get the data is not really that important. Security thrugh obscurity doesn't cut it any more when MS has decided to play with the big boys.

I for one can't tell 24bit colour from anything higher
When it comes to 3D you and everybody else can, thats because 24 bit color only has 8bit integer precision/color. With todays games evry pixel on the screen is rendered from many textures, lightmaps, bumpmaps etc. This gives errors when there only is 8 bit precisions.
John Carmack (Id software) have stated that more precicion is needed on future GFX cards.
Consider this
In floatingpoint math.
120/50*30/2 = 36
In integer math that answer would be 30 (calcing from left to right)
From what I understand the cards nowadays uses integer math.

Linuxusers pay the same amount of cash as winusers for the hardware. If it doesn't work we go to someone else. And I think there are more companies besides loki that makes software that require a GFX card. Alias Wavefront just pops to my mind.
Lets imagine you where running a company and one apartment of that company had success with something. Wouldn't you like to know that?
This is the same thing. Many of us do our part for Linux(On the desktop) And it's nice to see some progress being done somewhere. Of course we want to know even if it doesn't turn any NT users around. How are we excpect to work as a group if we can't communicate with eachother?
Can anyone write a new napster using this "protocol". Then we just have to set up NT servers and wait for the files to arive.
First it spread itself to any boxes on the net then start transfering files on off Your HD. Everyday when you come home from work you got 2gb of fresh pron. Should keep you busy for the rest of the evening.

And F.O. to all the flamers writing here for the past two years that the browser war is over. The browser war is a media hyped expression, nothing else. Without competition zero progress.
MandrakeSoft's CEO Henri Poole states that there are 70000 users of Linux-Mandrake. How many users of Debian GNU/Linux are there? Let's see. The number of Linux-Mandrake versus GNU/Linux posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. The refore there are about 70000/5 = 14000 GNU/Linux users. Slackware posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of GNU/Linux posts. Therefore there are about 7000 users of Slackware. A recent article put RedHat Linux at about 80 percent of the Linux market. Therefore there are (70000+14000+7000)*4 = 364000 RedHat Linux users. This is consistent with the number of RedHat Linux Usenet posts.
You forgot to mention that this has been posted 80000 times on slashdot, and a mouse can only hold for 4000 cut/paste and as MS have 50% of the mouse market they have sucked you dry for 80000*0.5 / 4000 * 30$ = 300 bux!
MySQL, he says, demands a commercial license be used for code distributed over a network because of linking.
What the license say "from memory" is that if your non GPL software only works with MySQL you are breaking the GPL.
This is something that has bothered me for some time as no other GPL software is licensed as this.
It seems reasonable that at least everyone who uses the GPL interpret it the same way.
If this would be the general rule for the GPL you can not write non GPL software if it needs to communicate with GPL software to run. What I have in mind is deamons such as gconfd in GNOME which could be called a server. There are probably better examples.
If I have interpreted this wrong please enlighten me.

Geocities have bandwith limitation (It worked when I posted this). I know it's on other pages out there also but couldn't find it now.
I know a couple of widgets from gtk1.2 is deprecated, CList is one of them. But will gnome 2 also include gtk1.2 or only gtk2.0.
And, does deprecated in the gtk2.0 case mean "not there" or "could disapear in the future"?
It does show someting important though.
Linux is more intuitive....

I realise this is a flame and that I shouldn't answer it but who have said that you can order a distro, have it set up for you for zero cost, give you support for zero cost and everything else for zero cost.
Before talking about free software in terms of the GPL (The licence Linux has) make sure you know
or at least have a some knowledge in what you are talking about. Browse an hour and you will realise that we are not talking about zero cost but different freedoms they think you should have with software. Of course you may not agree with this but at least you can debate it.
When it comes to 3D you and everybody else can, thats because 24 bit color only has 8bit integer precision/color. With todays games evry pixel on the screen is rendered from many textures, lightmaps, bumpmaps etc. This gives errors when there only is 8 bit precisions.

I wonder why Starcraft(comparable to kohan) runs about the same speed under X as in Windows. Maybe windows doesn't cut it for games either.
