The only thing I understand is that Israeli troops like killing british TV journalists, school children, other civilians and UN safe houses.
You can try and defend that all you want but they have more collateral damage then the US army in Iraq.
It's no wonder they're getting rocket bombed, if my kid or wife was killed I'd be on the front line too. I'm hoping for the day that they'll just stop killing people for a few years and let the tensions and hatred die so there can finally be some peace but after so many decades it seems they won't be satisfied until one genocides the other.
Perhaps it would be better for the world to just nuke both of them out of existence. If they can't get along then neither side deserves to live.
It's nice, and all, that you found a few games marked as "Gold" -- strange, however, that you decided not to mention any of the games I specifically named.
Well most of the time when there are updates the changelog doesn't actually display any text and reads "unable to download changelog". Also, it was just a fucking question!
This post was brought to you by an elitist openbsd administrator
If it were about control Chrome would be closed source. Get a better point next time, Google developers just suck at making a plugin manager like firefox, that's all.
I have no idea who this guy you think so awesome is but the Roland I know was an adsense troll in corporation with kdawson.
Just because the guys dead doesn't mean I have to turn around and call the guy "great" and "will be missed". Yeah, it's horrible he died but his articles and constant slashdot trolling, copying and pasting (stealing) articles will not be missed.
Oblivion and Fallout 3 are windows only and that's not going to change.
The same for the Source engine. You cite a link however its a rumour at best. Looking for a system admin that knows linux doesn't mean they're going to port their games. Did you even read the article you supplied? I know I did months and months ago, oh look! It hasn't happened.
It sucks that you have problems however lots of people don't hence all the good ratings in wine's app db, all submitted by users.
I argue in favour of wine because touting a native client as the only solution is stupid and unrealistic.
Skip to 4:30 and you'll clearly see Greenpeace lying.
If you're trying to say "They lie so it's ok for us to do it too", well I don't agree with that at all. In fact I think environmentalists do more lying and harm then they do good.
I hope that next time you'll produce something a little more readable because your last post is gibberish.
Wasting energy isn't the problem. It's energy production that is. More research needs to be pumped into stuff like Bussard Fusion reactors and then once finished the whole debate is over.
I'm sure they could make an exception, like shooting at the gut. Sure, it's more painful and a slow way to die but if money is to be made then they should just suck it up for the greatness of their country.
There are plenty of good reasons why cross platform is an impossibility right now. One is that major game developers have already invested in making a game engine which relies heavily in windows API calls. Oblivion's Engine was used in Fallout 3. Valve has spent millions on their Source engine which they license to other game companies.
From your post I can see you either haven't used wine for a long time or invested any real time in learning how to use it.
emulation just doesn't work as well as running native code
This is just simply wrong. WINE doesn't emulate anything. The very name WINE stands for "Wine is not an emulator".
What wine does is redirect API calls so that windows programs run.
If for example your windows program calls a d3d9 function example(x,y,z) then all wine does is implement this function as so..
HRESULT WINAPI example(x, y, z) { (do whatever this function does on windows via linux libraries) return WHATEVER; }
There's no emulation (in the virtual machine sense) going on at all, it's all API redirections.
Yes, "calc" probably runs very well under WINE
I don't know about that but users of Fallout 3, Left4Dead have no problems running wine. In fact if you visited wines appdb there's a whole load of games which run.
Fallout 3, Team Fortress, WoW, are all marked as Gold.
The majority of games (especially anything DX10, I'd bet) DON'T, or don't very well.
Like I said earlier they do, so you're just lying about the majority of games not working. There are no games that I know of apart from 2 (both microsoft games) which are DX10 only and I very much doubt there will be any outside of Microsoft which are for a very long time. When that time comes DX10 will probably be almost finished in wine.
DX10 support in wine is already progressing. If you download the latest version of wine you'll see implementations of D3D10 already there, however a lot of the functions are stubbed.
I don't quite understand how you got to that reasoning however like the rest of your post, it is all based on false assumptions.
I never mentioned Linux. I never said file systems don't become fragmented.
My point was that mentioning windows now auto defragments itself isn't a feature. You've spent so much time and energy into being correct that you missed the point of my post.
Slashdot Mirror
So you're saying that it's ok for Jews to wipe out other races because they were almost wiped out themselves?
That seems to be the point you're trying to make..
The only thing I understand is that Israeli troops like killing british TV journalists, school children, other civilians and UN safe houses.

I didn't realise I had to however ok..
Age of Empires 3 - Gold rating
D&D Online - Platinum rating
Blind leading the blind. Good luck with that.

Figures, BSD trolls strike again..
Which is part of the damn problem. The manager expects you to do work outside of work.
In any other job it's unthinkable, but because of the long standing tradition of putting in more hours then expected IT workers get screwed.
So why not just ignore him and get on with the job? If he complains then ask what else to do.
Is this somehow related to the bind DNS updates for ubuntu desktop that got pushed yesterday?
or do what happens already, just let him check something for a sec in a new tab and you go back to your work.
If it were about control Chrome would be closed source. Get a better point next time, Google developers just suck at making a plugin manager like firefox, that's all.
When 1/2 the stories on slashdot's main page were all Roland's, no you fucking couldn't.
Are we talking about the same Roland here?
I have no idea who this guy you think so awesome is but the Roland I know was an adsense troll in corporation with kdawson.
Just because the guys dead doesn't mean I have to turn around and call the guy "great" and "will be missed". Yeah, it's horrible he died but his articles and constant slashdot trolling, copying and pasting (stealing) articles will not be missed.
You spoke too soon..
"let long words alone"? What kind of fucking grammar is that?!
They've got DX10 running on the CPU, you can't blubber all you want about how it's impossible. That's just the sign of a bad programmer.
Oblivion and Fallout 3 are windows only and that's not going to change.

I don't really understand what your talking about so instead heres a video.

Problem is it's ok to do that in the west however it's not so easy to grow your own food when you don't have a garden, tools or seeds to do it.
Again with the bike, great in theory unless you can't afford a bike and have to take a bus into a city from the slum you live in.
These ideas are always presented by western idealists as simple solutions without much thought taken into the actual practicalities.
Why destroy landfill methane when you can use it to provide power and heating.

I'm sure if they asked the Chinese government they could get some brains from executed prisoners.
gOS has nothing to do with Google you fucking idiot.

I guess so. So I'll be using my lights that are brighter then the sun thanks.
