And there's still one question, which greatly adds to the complexity of the whole thing.
What if we, humans, do have a soul?
Atheism is also a religion, because you have to believe that there is no God. There's no proof of either existence or non-existence of a supernatural being.
I actually am aware of this hack, but this is exactly the brain damage that kept me away from freely experimenting with multiple installations of various Quake3s and JK3 (I was a modder at the time). I used to have 2 or 3 parallel installs of JK3 (each at least ~1.2 GB, and disk space wasn't that cheap by then) for my experiments and one for regular playing, and keeping track of these stupid "rm -rf"-unaware junctions was just...
I don't want features missing from an OS because you feel you should be able to run it on 1996 hardware.
And <i>what</i> are the features of Vista that made it unable to run even on <i>2006</i> hardware? One MS-loving tech guy was talking about that modular design that WinFX brought - maybe I could turn *off* some of these features so it won't need 1 GB of ram to check an email or play minesweeper?
Not the hardware itself is licensed but the blueprints. And that's information, or the "source code", something as reproductable as that jpeg you've set as your wallpaper.
Doesn't work with sid as of today. It just says something along the "your ditro is not supported" shit. I think I'll be moving away to some other distro in next few months...
But AFAIR w/o the original soundtracks, which were just damn cool.
And my version is neither English or Engrish or Polish but simply... Porish, and the dialogs have such a climax! XD it's almost beyond "all your base", but polish-specific.
Well, a few of my friends were recently talking something about switching to linux, or just moving away from Vista. Some did. Even my girlfriend said she won't mind using Linux.
The "problem" with adopting Linux (and/or Vista) is that XP is "good enough". Let's just wait and see if it'd start to turn out that it isn't.
Or, if you don't like sitting and waiting, go burn some Ubuntu CDs and give them away.
Hm. I'm slightly offtopic here too. So, my experience with running windows games on current Debian unstable is that they won't run. My machine is "slightly" old (Celeron 2.4, 256mb ram, GeForce 440mx), so I'm only playing^W trying to play older games like GTA2, JK3, Quake 3, but the problem is that there's no "easy" way to get the damn nVidia driver working. I need either the 7xxx series or 96xx series (which implement texture_from_pixmap, needed for all the compiz stuff), but both are a little broken in Debian and just won't install. But the games do run:) on the opensource nv driver the performance is... OMGWTF, but it's just a matter of drivers. Surprisingly, my (pirated, cracked and broken) version of GTA2 won't run on Windows >= 5.x (only non-NT 4.x), but under Wine - it works almost perfectly:)
What's the problem with internally changing the indentation-based blocks to some other format, just for some manipulation, and then converting it back? for example:
if foo: if bar: doSomething()
for item in collection: pass
One would like to cut-and-paste first block into the second, replacing the "pass" thing. Internally, the IDE could replace the above code with:
if foo: if bar: doSomething() endif endif
for item in collection: pass endfor
Then simply:
for item in collection: if foo: if bar: doSomething() endif endif endfor
And back to Python:
for item in collection: if foo: if bar: doSomething()
Same for code generators and other magical stuff that "just works" with other languages. Of course use some magic escape sequences to avoid name conflict with symbols that are alrady sitting in the code.
I don't believe it will be that easy, or will "Just Work(tm)" out of the box. In Python 2.4 and 2.5 (dunno about earlier versions) print statement is a part of the syntax. There are constructs like 'print >> object, "text"' and 'print "something else",' (notice the comma). How this is going to be handled?
Also, Python can execute strings of python code generated on the fly, like this:

Hm. Isn't it that one cannot be a "perfect observer", because once you start observing a system, you become a part of it?

But no

Eh, how nice JK3 works well under Wine.
There should be no compromises in security.
If Windows' FS wasn't so braindamaged I'd do symlinks to saved games which themselves would live in another (user-writable) folder.
Thank gods I run unices on all my boxes.

It's like sitting in a real car with engines off and watching Fast&Furious 8.
False analogy.
When X doesn't start you simply tweak the configuration.

Taking into account the new Italian copyright law, you're actually not violating any copyrights anyway.
