They give good driver support but they don't give us full features (will the vivo part of my vivo card will work under linux ever? without having to rely on reverse engineering and manually compilling kernel and modules (thx to rivatv anyway))? And I don't talk about open source support.
So when it comes to chipset i go to VIA, even if they are not always as fast, since they have open source initiatives (cle, unichrome) And when it come to sound i go to CREATIVE LABS for the same reasons.
I kind of half imagine him like Scarface at the end of the Pacino movie. as in "shot by a hitman and lying in his blood in front of his broken mad dream of world domination"?

Obsessive toward crushing the other one. Tetris or Scrabble or reading or writing or drawing or music or television or movies or comic books or religion don't require you to enter that kind of state of mind.

I'm not surprised he is going to port lugaru. Not because he is porting more projects than anyone, not because he is talented, not because he is blazzing fast, not because he has swear to have every other linux porter to starve, not because he wants the money, no, just because the moves of the rabbit are really cool and i'm sure he liked them.
As much as i a agree with your point, it's not about killing per se, but killing of other player that increase your character attributes as in mmorpg, since it leads to obsessive behaviors, they say. It seems coming more from a psychological standpoint than from a moral standpoint.
It seems strange, if the directive hadnt been killed, i believe it would have gone in front of a board of 7 persons from the counsil and 7 from the parliament who would have to agree. So if the 7 from the council are pro patents, and only one from the parliament was against, they would have gotten what they want. I agree that not all of the parliament was anti patents, but not all of the rest was pro patents. So it remains still true, imho, that a lot of deputies from the parliament voted NO because they didnt appreciate the behavior of the council toward the parliament. You can read the speeches of Michel Rocard, who did a lot of work the last days to condemn both the patent law as it was drafted AND the behavior of the council toward both the parliament and democratical process....sorry for my shitty english.
patches are really becoming deadlines: -no patch: the game dies, the compagny is now known to drop games prematuraly (vampire the masquerade, tribes3, etc), then kills the studio. -patch: the game lives, the compagny closes the studio anyway.
There is 2 rounds where it goes between the council and the parliament. The council didnt listen to the parliament, didnt negociate and even tried to bypass them. The parliament needed more than the absolute majority to reject the proposal at the last round. Since they had been so dispised by the council, they voted NO in force.
Problem is that the european way of handling laws can bypass the democratical circuits. If your parliament is against a law, in most european country the law is dead. Not anymore with the eu, you just have to have it agreed by your fellow council members (which are president or ministers like you and will return the favor). If the law passes so, then your parliament HAS TO accept the law. They failed with patents, but many other projects pass that way. So the eu parliament is the last democratical power in the EU, yet it just has the power to reject laws, and with extreme difficulty as this law showed. And there are other ways to bypass it.
All in all, the situation is extremly shitty and Mr Stallman is probably right. EU is slowly turning in what it tries to be an alternative for: a mega power corrupted by corporations lobbying.
It is dishonesty because he knew the flaws and didnt acknowledged them until now that his newt games his out. I myself bought the first from that, and I'm learning from my mistakes. I will use a pirate version from this game and if it is good, i will recognize it was a mistake to do so... in a few years.
V for Vendetta is already miles above matrix in terms of originality and amazement. What we hope is a miracle so that those 2 guys don't lower it down. From Moore's comments, no luck.
Exactly. Power and price is what matters to the bulk of gamers, not who sponsors what. Intel has the reputation of outpowering amd ONLY at very high price and ONLY for a not so noticeable gain. amd own that market.:)
I don't see your point, really. If shell scripting is all that matters to you, both environment can do it. And kde even have the dcop environment to interract with the applications from the shell.
But to me, unix philosophy is more abstract than just making a reference to or the use of, scripting. From what I understand of it, it means making the smallest piece of software possible so that you can build more complex uses by connecting them.
Gnome did that their way by developping a lot of specialized librairies, that are tied together for more complex uses. KDE's interpretation, imho, really shines in konqueror, which is only a framework where you can have whatever new use you can think of easily through IOslaves and kparts. It is now a browser, it is now a file manager, it is now a video app, it is now a network crawler, it is now a ssh session, etc etc. It is in fact a visual shell where instead of doing 'ssh there' you just do 'fish://there' and works visually just like you would in a terminal. And all those can be programmed easily as konqui is designed just for that, wich is the important point for our discussion. It is an app that is designed to let you work with it with the same mindset than you would script a shell app.
Since slashdot editors must have a reason to put his worthless articles on front page again and again, can we at least have a dvorak section, so that we can individually ban those articles?
IMHO, i disagree on this point: GNOME and KDE... have not really understood the UNIX philosophy They both have tried to translate the unix philosophy in the gui world. Where there is translation, there is interpretation and therefore we have 2 different point of view of what should be the unix philosphy in a visual environment. But to say they havent understood it, means you know a better way to translate it in the gui world and I'm really curious to know your ideas about that.
You don't have to have your cpu running at full speed all the time. My mobo (via) is cool and quiet, which means the cpu speed is low when I don't push it. And the mobo can lower the speed of the fans too, hence the noise. And it works under linux, yes. That and a passive cooled GPU, all in a good case, and you have horsepower, low noise, energy savings for a lot less than 1500$.

LGP might be interrested and they know people who might be willing to port a game.

Too late!
Thx for the tip!

and no, I'm not going to post my home address for people to compare images. I'm just too paranoid to do that

I do. It is insane, we are doing in the name of freedom and democracy as much pain as we used to in the name of jesus or civilisation in the past.
It blows!
