Not quite. If a state were to settle debts in its own currency, that currency would have to be gold or silver coin. Given that -IME- states universally use Federally minted currency -or credit backed by the same- to settle debts, their behaviour is well within the spirit and letter of the law.
I know that you can mod it in. That's why I was stoked about the GECK. (But you shouldn't HAVE to mod it in... You should be able to kill anyone and anybody, and be presented with a *good* reason for being unable to throw a switch or turn a knob. ["You can't do that now"?? Seriously?])
F3 is a good game. I just wish that B was a gutsier company.
Fedora is truly the bleeding-edge Linux distro. I've found that *unstable* Gentoo is more usable and stable than the Fedora distros I've tried. (FC6 and F8? It's been a while.)
Having said that, It's my understanding that Fedora irons out a *lot* of bugs in brand-spanking new software. This is a *valuable* service.:D
I *think* that pulseaudio is for two things: 1) Preserving the project coordinator's reputation for making "OOH, shiny!" software that's pretty full of rough edges. 2) To enable a ham-fisted [1] implementation of networked audio. (In PA's favour, its bandwidth requirements are pretty low... ~100Kbps for a 44.1 stereo stream.)
I *really* wish that the networked audio component would come to ALSA... I'm not very fond of PA and its supporting software.
I had to edit XFree86.conf to manually add a modeline to get it to work at the right resolution.
I *think* that you now can use xrandr -q --verbose to get all the info you need for your custom modelines. [Assuming that your monitor reports that it supports a given resolution and all that.]
Wanna have some fun? Ask a savvy Windows user (who's not using Nvidia's control panel software) how to add a custom monitor resolution. I know how to do it for ATi cards. It's not pretty.
Maaan. IIRC, monitors that could get toasted by screwed up input freqs haven't been manufactured since the mid nineties.:) I really wish that we'd amend the "you could break your monitor" advice.
Where is "everywhere"? I have an audiophile friend whose opinions I trust who drools over OSSv4. He'd like Linux to put forth a shitload of effort into a *single* audio API, whether it be OSSv4 or ALSA or whatever.
Now, however, a Linux distro usually won't run nearly as well as XP will.
Are you *sure*? I have a four, five year old desktop machine that dual boots Win 2k3 and Gentoo Linux. If we ignore the terrible Flash plugin and turn off KDE 4.SVN's Desktop Effects, I find that the Linux system is faster to boot, faster to get me to a ready "desktop", and no slower than Windows at performing tasks in The Gimp and Firefox. Perhaps my experience is atypical.
Also, was 2000's four year old hardware proportionally as slow as 2009's four year old hardware? That is, if you were to plot the CPU and IO performance increase over time from ~1997-2009, would the plot's slope remain relatively constant? (I have no idea, that's why I'm asking.)
My email/web browsing machine at work is an XP Pro machine with 256 MB of RAM. It's *SLOW* to start up and *SLOW* after the full system virus scan has run, but it works.

What is is the first "it" in the last sentence referring to?
What is the second "it" in the same sentence?
Thanks.
Where does WindowMaker fit into the GNUStep picture?
I figured out what I was doing wrong! My karma score *really* *is* related to my performance in bed!

You can't kill children. You can't even damage them.
WTF, B?
Which distro?
we'd have been quite happy with an x86 CPU but there were simply no solutions which didn't need a case fan.
*puts on Devil's Advocate hat*
My Core Duo powered CF-30 Toughbook has no fans.
I have also requested info from this guy about ISP. Hopefully he'll get to me! *stares at watch* Come on! It's been half an hour already!
Who the fuck did you have to kill to get that 100mbit fiber?
If you didn't kill anyone, who provides it and what are the terms?
Mmm. The majority of the games on that list are either Id or Epic engine games... so it kinda skews the picture a little.
Regardless, your point is sound.
Why don't you use BIND?
You cannot be for things like binary games like WoW running on Linux
Last I heard, things WoW didn't need to directly interact with kernelspace. (Unless maybe The Warden needs to?)
Did you miss the part where you have to install everything yourself?
No, no. I didn't miss that part. :p ;)
However, I have a basic package list that I move around these days, so I'm less affected by that.
Now you're going to say it's to allow you to do X and Y and Z.
I'm a little more reasonable than you give me credit for. :)
I started on hand-me-down RH 7.2 CDs. I've no idea where the book was.

Other than the waiting, what's painful about the installation process?

What is left now? You install it and everything works. All the fun is gone.
Such is the price of progress. Have you seen the Clint Eastwood muscial "Paint Your Wagon"? Your comment reminds me of the sentiments of Ben Rumson.

Goddamn it... now I'mma have to do something with the brownie mix that I've got in my kitchen. D-:<
In other news, I agree with your sentiment.
