that free-for-ever massive online game called REAL LIFE! Yes, but the difficulty to respawn should be what makes it less fps oriented, and yet, there still are huge amounts of noobs to try to win it that way.
I watched the arachnorox videos and had a great time. It's very well edited, has an interresting plot (for a game), originality (the old super hero for instance) and have some nice twists near the end. I even bought the game after watching it, but still havent had time to play it. Baldur's gates games could be nice to watch too if nicely edited of the long walks, especially the "let's go to the shop sell some loots and get some gold and then back to finish this place" boring trips and of course all the unnecessary time you spend in your inventory.
The first point is that there is a lot of 3D done in maya under linux. The other point is that maya ple is a response to max equivalent edition and not an effort to develop a new user base. Your point about cost is of course part of the situation but is not worth much if you don't put it in perspective with those 2 others. So i guess you werent that realistic in your comment either.
mandrake 10.1 will come without kde3.3 but it was said on the mandrake club that we should see kde3.3 packages made available, but, i imagine, after the debugging/rest period that follow a release.
I'm used to pay for what I use; being free or just able to avoid it doesnt prevent morale and common sense. I pay for what I need so that it continues to exists. The mandrakeclub being MY way of doing that with linux. You see, when i can't afford to pay, I can have the product anyway, and that is a freedom I don't want to see disappear in favor of the "pay or die" model which favors inequity.
But, when it comes to transgaming I just can't pay it since i don't know of any other method than CB and i don't own one. So maybe they should try to add some retail channels to their business before doing "highly advanced" tracking systems. There could be other sources of income worth more than that kind of effort. I had 3 months of transgaming with "the sims for linux" in mandrake gaming edition and found the winex soft quite good. But I havent been able to give them some cash back since then because of this stupid CB thing. I can buy all the distros in the world but i can't buy the only closed soft i might have some use for. funny.
Now that I said all that, I can make a parallel between carmack and romero. should have been Now that I said all that, I can make a parallel between molyneux and romero. which should give more sense to my meaning since carmack isnt attacked in any way.
Nice lapsus though, and one that gives some justice to romero and molyneux, who, after all, don't deserve such flak in a market where deer hunters games are at the top of the box-office.
i play video games since taito's space invaders and my opinion of peter molyneux comes from having played all his games since the first populous and having followed his carreer. That said you can't accuse him of being anyone else tham himself so your point about him not being Romero is weak (and btw you don't do Romero justice either, as well as pretty much everyone on the internet). The bad opinion about him comes from experience and it is a fact you have to accept. Peter Molyneux delivers incredibly good speeches, where he displays incredibly attractive videos of ingame footage, which are followed by a game which is in noways close to the speech or the video. It's all about hype. And his game interfaces suck most of the time, because they try to much to be innovative instead of being efficient. (sometimes it is the same for the gameplay like in b&w, but some other times, his gameplay is quite nice and novator, like in populous).
Now that I said all that, I can make a parallel between carmack and romero. If they are being attacked as they are, it's because they impersonnate a very popular trend among video games: compagnies that delivers hype, burn a lot of cash and fail to deliver the basics of what makes a game PLAYABLE. Most of the time, there is nobody to blame but a faceless entity. "EA games suck. Atari licenses based games are really shitty!... etc etc". With those 2, it is possible suddenly to have a "real person" to blame. That makes us, the crowd of disappointed gamers, rush for the killing. Sorry, we're only human.
The real problem with living on hype is that once you have built a negative hype on yourself you just CAN'T ask people to "try your game with an open mind".
That said, I'd love to see Natural Selection on Half Life 2. I don't care what platform is used for a mod as long as it is a good one. I wouldn't mind Natural Selection on any platform, wether doom3 ut2 or even quake3, as long as it is well done.
Shouldn't it be so that, even if duct tape exists on mars in the future, you can't have your light taped to 2 weapons at the same time? Also, if you switch your light, from one weapon to one another, shouldnt it take some time to remove the tape from the light and then put it to the other weapon? and in the dark? And finally, shouldnt there be a limit to the amount of tape you got and so, to the number of time you can switch the light to one weapon and then to another?
remember that the geforce4mx that you often see in cheap PC is equivalent to a geforce2 and sucks big time. Yes, you knew it already, but I see so many people buying that piece of crap that it cant hurt to be said over and over again.
It's quite possible, since it completly fail to render correctly in firefox AND konqueror under linux. Usually, one of them manage to get through shiny eye-candied badly designed site, but having both of them to fail require some experience in flashy sites.
what's different from google here that i found from your test. Clicking on your link for mandrake returned it 3rd place. So i moved the mouse over their link for it and it is a link that goes through their site before reaching mandrake. (their link to mandrake: g.msn.com/9SE/1?http://www.mandrakestore.com/&&DI= 3865&IG=0ef1b8417967497d823f4a602109a77f&POS=3&CM= WDU&CE=3 )
So they probably are modifying their results and ranks based on clicks of the visitors
you're completly off topic. I was not talking about their licensing system, i was responding about the fact that they still support a 5 years old game. Being their only game, they HAVE TO support it. Especially since they build the hype for their next (second) product on this first one. When
As for Valve not supporting their products; how much more support do you want for a 5 year old game engine? To be fair, it is their only product and source of income, they HAVE TO support it. We well see if they still support old products when hl2 is out. I mean, really out, not "omg i use outlook" out.
A lot of free software developpers seem to *not care* about the size of their users monitors. Read statistics, a lot of people are still on 800X600 and 1024x768 displays, so please have your configurations or even applications size fit in the lower size possible. The worst is that most of the time, it is full of lost space and the huge size wasnt even needed AT ALL. Yesterday, i was on a 640x480 display and one app had a size just slightly exceeded that size, so I had to alt-drag it to click OK: The app was made of: 3 icons 3 lines of 5~6 words. The rest was a huge blank page and an OK button outside my display!!! But we do hear a lot of people talk about usability those days, even experts which can argue for days if OK must be to the right or to the left! sigh...
Comparing windows and linux should include the difference in architecture for both systems. Linux has always been less responsive, desktop wise, than windows, but it is a choice. On the other hand it scales nicely when you start to fire a lot of apps together. Right now, you are only comparing the responsiveness of the desktops not the speed of the systems.
As much as I know that outlook and ie are full of holes, you have to be sure that noone was installing anything on that computer. I have seen a machine wich was not internet connected, which had not been used in five years for anything else than creating music and it was infected by the "da half" virus. Someone must have installed something during that time.
you avoid my point: If the ones doing the regulating arent the ones doing the bullying, killing, and raping, but were letting the situation degrade, waiting for the right moment to jump into the game, and are not seeking to install an equitable justice but a system that will serve THEIR interrest and maintain it even if the above bullying doesnt exist anymore and despite better and saner solutions are possible, then you have a bad situation. It has been known as oligarchy for centuries and its main problem is that it leads to tyranny. (your "ivan the terrible" system).
In that regard this "the "big corps situation is a good thing in that it is a better thing" is BS. No matter how wise and intelligent their decisions are, they will either expand the gap between rich and poor paving the way for a "popular tyran" (hitler's way: it just needs a big economical crisis for those corps to crumble) or they will concentrate more and more power in their hands for an insider to take it (stalline's way: one of those only has to kill, politically or otherwise, the other few). When you've got as much firepower as the USA, you can't let that happen. There are people saying that it has already begun, judging from the invasion of Irak and "things" like the patriot act.
So basically you're sayin that if there were people in your neighbourhood bullying, racketing, killing, raping and suddenly a few powerfull "families" decide to "regulate" the neighbourhood and also the money you owe them on a regular basis and also who can do what business around, you would consider that a big step? And you wouldnt even think that the first phase of the processus was part of their scheme?
As usual, the Maginot line crumbled instantly Actually, it never had to crumble since they forgot to extend it till the sea. Germans just had to drive safely through belgium.
