Has anybody checked the price of a Red Hat subscription lately? It ain't cheap. In fact, it's cheaper to get M$ bundled with a server than it is to get a one year Red Hat subscription, given that you need to renew (read= pay more $$$) each year, and Linux engineers can command more salary simply because there are fewer of them than there are Windows engineers (oxymoron, I know.).
So yes, open-source as a "whole" (Articles of Confederation-type whole) will do well in tough economic times. If Red Hat wants in on this, they'll need to either lower their prices, or perhaps rethink they're "software as a service" model.
I wonder how many of these people who are complaining about poor digital reception also get poor analog reception.
With analog, poor reception will give you snow, and a fuzzy picture. You can still make out most of the image, but it looks like crap. With digital, poor reception will give you choppy video and pixelation.

Over 100 replies, and no jokes about porn?
It seems we're getting dupes from a parallel SlashDot.
If that were true, this story would have a goatee.

Guess what, physics games have been done. Played Half-Life 2? No... really? Try it, it's great.
Yeah, Half Life 2's pretty good, but for the ultimate physics game, you gotta try this new game from France called Large Hadron Collider.
Even better, can we tag it "noshitsherlock"
All that summary, and no mention of how well the creature creator ties into the actual game.
I believe I speak for everyone here when I say "No shit, Sherlock!"
