It is possible to patch the Linux kernel without having to do a reboot for the changes to take effect. Can't remember the name of the software though...
Bla, bla, bla... Obama is the outbreak of common sence and has done stuff that should have happened all the time. Of course he can't get everything done and needs to make comprimises but he is the best thing since Kenedy. Period.
I don't know what your failing perception of an ideal world is, but it can't be good. Let me guess... You get your information from Fox News?
Exactly! Everytime it's time for a new Windows version to be developped Microsoft sais: Yeah we promise X and Y and game changing shit! Then it gets delayed. Then again. Then these so called worked on features (which are not worked on and were never planned!) are scrapped. Then we get the previous Windows with a few minor changes and additions.
It happens everytime! And the worst part is; everybody keeps falling for it! There are not even 128bit CPU's!
Get the facts, moron. Only 12% of the Linux kernel work is done by unpaid developpers. Red Hat makes a lot of money and the London Stock Exchange will not suffer from these 2 crashes that Windows caused. Crashing capitalism is more or less a Microsoft thing I guess. So shut the fsck up.
Most old games I have do not run on Windows 7 anymore. SDL isn't movable target and the oldest Linux games keep on working because you can just recompile them. Period. Mac OS X is even worse; Mac OS to Mac OS X to Intel.
AMD Catalyst is only meant for workstations and doesn't happen to work with anything else. On the open source side, AMD is releasing spec. Work is currently done on classic Mesa and when that' s done (testing ground) work will shift towards Gallium3D.
nVidia does have third party noveau support. Allthough there hasn't been a cease and desist mail (yet), the EULA of the binary drivers doesn't really permit it at all.
AMD is really trying, nVidia is just, well, nVidia. Take a look at the ATI driver X.org feature matrix at FreeDesktop.org; ATI' s open source driver development is doing great. When full Gallium3D driver support comes anything is just pure win.
Add to that open source drivers if you're a Linux user and Coreboot support (maybe a little offtopic) and you know why AMD is 'The smarter choice' (yes copied that right from their marketing department).
Yeah it really sucks that some major vendors work together to deliver you a platform inde-fscking-pendant solution that speeds up your computer at no extra freaking costs, patents and other crap. What hidden agenda are you pushing?

Who cares? What matters is that they did something that was awesome to do. Imagine yourself lifting up a baloon with a camera attached to it, wondering what will happen. Later on you find your camera back. You wait for what seems to be like forever for the 32GB to get transfered onto your computer. You watch the video from when you were standing in a grass field and watch what happened when you were there on the ground. You watch your camera fly into outer fscking space. You feel like "WOW! Dude that's beautifull... we freakin done it! We actually did it! It worked!".
And then you feel awesome for a complete month, figuring out what to do next, while the world gets to see what you saw.
You're suppose to like this, given the fact that you are on/. What's wrong with you?
The problem with Rekonq, and any browser BTW, is that no matter how good the UI and the rendering engine is, is that it is not Firefox.
It does not have the Firefox name and look and it does not get all the plugins that Firefox has. Wrappers, Konqueror style, suck at least as much as the browser itself.
What we need is a good browser like Rekonq will probably be, and replace all Firefox code with the code from that browser over time.
It's almost as horrendous as Wine development, but it's the only way.

Is there, next to compaining, a suggestion from your part, for somebody else who deserves it? I do agree with you on your last sentence...

Yes, pun intended. Flamebait? No.

Come on everybody, wake up! Read this FFS and NEVER, EVER, post shit like this again!: http://www.roughlydrafted.com/RD/Q4.06/4E2A8848-5738-45B1-A659-AD7473899D7D.html
Oni, Carmageddon all versions, Quake 2, Tomb Raider 1, 2 and 3... just to name a few real classics...
What about it? Does that keep crashing too? Maybe you want to get rid of Windows? No problem... www.ubuntu.com

There are more interesting games available for consoles and consoles are cheaper than PC's with their upgrades.
You mean Windows?
Besides lock-in, are there any reasons at all to go with WIndows?
That same college probably thinks that Windows is trhe only OS out there and that Bill Gates wrote DOS on a tissue... What a moron...

HUMILIATION!!!!
What? I am not a gamer... Yeah about that knife errrr... everybody knows you run faster with a knife, jeez...
Yes, but I don't give a flying fsck because I want to play a game and not watch an interactive movie or read a book.
The only two games that are allowed to do this are Metal Gear Solid and Half-Life2, but especially Half-Life2.
The rest is all filmschool-gimmick shit. Now get the hell of my lawn and make some real games again? Yes? OK thanks!
Interestingly, this is the same crowd that seems to have no problem celebrating Kevin Mitnick's turnaround and subsequent success.
Which leads me to the conclusion that you conclusions about other people appear to be the wrong conclusions...
I liked the part where the OP tried to be a smartass.
It's a sign of healthy business. I want Microsoft to go down faster :(

The person you replied to was obviously joking, and they never said that they didn't like the video or the fact that it was made.
^ Cognitive FAIL.
What was NASA's 'bug guideline'? I remember seeing or reading it somewhere, I thought it was one bug in 10.000 lines of code.
I could be absolutely wrong! But I just like to know...
