True. I usually run at least 6 boxes at a time, just to cover all the major operating systems. I'd never want to be without the software clones I need!
I can't even count on my two hands the girls I know personally who are as good if not better looking than she is. This is to be expected, it can be difficult to stretch a value of zero across ten fingers.
I've been using blender for 2 years and I do indeed find the UI super fast. I think the real problem is that the learning curve is far underestimated; it's taken me quite a while to get to the point of having the majority of important keystrokes be second nature.
I wouldn't consider myself a "wizard", though at this point my main constraints on furthering my skills are a lack of proper art training and time. If you find the UI cumbersome now, keep at it, and the hotkeys will really aid you. The main problem is that the UI in blender has a really steep learning curve at the moment, but I find it faster than 3ds max or maya. It doesn't seem intuitive now, but using one hand for commands and one for actual modeling really speeds things up.
As a blender/crystal space user I'm more interested in the development of Apricot, the open game based on the movie. It'll be great to see improvements in the area of 3d Linux game development, and certainly make it a more attractive platform for developers in the future.

Yeah I don't really have a comment, I just wanted to do that.:)
You shouldn't. The parent is simply saying that not everyone gives Ubuntu the respect it really deserves, I agree that we should call it simpler, but certainly not dumbed down. I used slackware for 3 years before switching to ubuntu, when I put together a "high end" (read: faster than a 1ghz pentium3) pc about 6 months ago. I still love slackware for allowing me to squeeze the most performance out of my system, but now that a tiny overhead doesn't matter as much to me, ubuntu is perfect for its ease of use, fast auto-configuration, and a wonderful package management system.
If I had to go back to a 333mhz cpu and 64mb of ram, I most certainly would go back to slackware or maybe debian, but I really just want to USE my computer effectively, which is all the general public wants to really do, and is exactly what ubuntu is made for. It is in no way an inferior linux distribution, however.
I run Warcraft 3 on two monitors, not the same game but I believe they both run equally well with wine. I know wc3 is near perfect for me, and I actually prefer linux to windows even for gaming because that is the only windows game that I ever really play. I have two separate x servers so I actually can run a game fullscreen (not maximized in a window) on one and move my mouse over to the other for gaim/firefox/amarok etc.
I actually could not even do this on windows with my hardware because I only have 512mb of ram, however its flawless on ubuntu, I'd recommend trying out such a setup, it was relatively simple on ubuntu (it took me a little while to determine that command line + vim was faster, but I'm just used to slackware, most likely you'll prefer a gui, especially when migrating from windows).

When was the last time a multimillion dollar commercial game was created with gamemaker?

Only on Slashdot can a comment ending with "you stupid motherfuckers" be considered insightful.
Please.
*whoosh!*
Personally I prefer the MMO-health care.

You've been working in the security industry for close to two decades, yet your main retort is "LOL"?

Holy shit, I understand your passion but try a break or paragraph, will ya? Oh, lay off the caps lock too.

You must be new here.
Along with ruining the current music, great combo.
No. It won't.
