Ive given nexues a few tries, but always failed to catch anybody else playing, it seams quite a bit like NaturalSelection which i would waste hours on back when i ran windows.
Assault cube is the game i tend to find players on.
Now, unless you are aware of a completely legit interpretation of the words "Blu-ray rips on filesharing networks" that I am not aware of...
I call on the linus defense
Only wimps use tape backup: _real_ men just upload their important stuff, and let the rest of the world mirror it;)
I just want to backup all my Bluerays. Unfortunatly without multi site backups, a fire could easily take the backups out too. If i were to just buy multi-continental offsite backup then id have to stay awake at night to make sure that Yellowstone/WWIII/aliens hadn't taken one of them out and leave me needing me to find a new host. No sir the only way to be sure is to upload it TPB.
After a quick google/wiki check all i can find to differentiate the 2 is 1) slightly less overhead 2) mkv is already widely used by pirates (due to multiple soft subs )
But more importantly MKV is an open standard free Container format, this is Slashdot if you even try to suggest mp4 is superior you will be shot. Generally MKV is widely supported in FOSS, but a major non-foss player supporting it is still great news especially as divx is so widely used.
WTF am i on about? Windows had virtual desktops slightly after Linux got them and OSX was even remotely thought about. Windows 95/98/NT4 had multiple desktops accessed using the Virtual Desktop Manager powertoy.
Or are you just cherry-picking one of the (extremely few) GUI features Linux has that Windows doesn't have as some way of boosting your Linux-using cred? I guess that's more likely.
Are you familiar with beryl or compiz? There are plenty of useful (and not so useful) GUI features that they have that windows doesn't. zoom invert colors opacifiy (not just translucency but the ability for it to be decided by the window thats focused) are a few of the more useful ones.
I know the graphics are less powerful, but the Wiimote still lends itself to 1st person shooters better than any gamepad. Resident Evil proved that. And the Wii is the only console that a RTS (like Starcraft) would even be possible to be played on.
When i tried playing resident evil on the wii i found that the wiimote simply doesn't make a very good gun, you have to aim the a crosshair by moving the wiimote instead of just aiming. If the wiimote was ever made into a good aiming device then perhaps it would be good for "gun games" (i cant think of the correct genre name but timecrises and resident evil are not really FPS in the hardcore "oh shit i forgot to sleep again" sense) but the problem is that most genres need you to be able to control the direction and movement of the character, and if you want to achieve this you either lose the benefit of aiming with the wiimote, or end up with a complex control system which looses the benefit of the wiimote entirely.
Hardcore games tend to come in 3 main genres RPG, FPS, RTS (and their multilayer variants). The Wii doesn't have the control scheme to compete on FPS (mouse+keyboard or joysticks) which is generally what the majority of hardcore gamers play. While the wii could make some ground up on RTS and RPG it multiplayer aspect is defiantly lacking (i have to admit that Microsoft have done something right with xbox live, hell enough suckers are paying monthly fees for what you get free on pc games that they must be).
SO of 6 'hardcore' genres the wii is limited to 2, while it may be worth encouraging a few ports to the wii, nintendo are better of forgetting about hardcore gamers and just coming out with original games for casual gamers/families e.g minigame based, board games, puzzle adventures, etc
IMO the problem is that the government has the right to do this all legally, not that it was done. The blame for it being legal for the government to raid opposition MPs for leaking non security related information lies firmly in the hands of BOTH parties.
I fully support the police being able to do warrant less searches of parliament, why should MPs be above the law they write. The houses are parliament should be open for anybody to investigate, if MPs have something to hide they can stick on private property, not in a public place.
i see why youve been moded funny, but when faced with this bug microsoft had 3 options 1) call everybody back to work new years eve and rush out a fix that may cause problems elsewhere 2) wait till the new year and fix at a reasonable speed so the the fix doenst introduce new bugs 3) wait till 4 years time and ignore the 2 remaining zune 30 users
I would never choose 1, its simply not worth the hastle. This leaves 2 & 3, while 2 may save some face, the fact is it will only keep 2 people more happy than if they choose 3 but will cost them money, so is not worth it. Given that 99.93% uptime is pretty good for Microsoft code, the obvious choice is 3.
microsoft care less about pirates than they care about apple and linux users. A company is going to spend a fair bit on windows licenses only if thier users are already used to windows. whereas your typical home user will send at most $30 MS's way.
Piracy helps Microsoft, so Microsoft are likely to help piracy
On Linux, it's probably buried somewhere in Bin with every other application ever created
on windows the exectuables are normally in c:/programs/ on unix the exectuables are normally in/usr/lib/ , with the added convieniece that a shortcut to the exectuables is in/usr/bin
on windows there is a start menu on gnome/kde/xfce/fluxbox, hell whatever fucking WM you want there is a start menu
on windows the programs themselves installed their start menu entry, as whatever the fuck they want, then if they feel like it when they are uninstalled they may remove them on debian and co (most likely the same for rpm based distros, maybe even slackware) when a package is installed it adds a link to the start menu, when it is uninstalled it is removed, this is done by the package manager. If you purge programs you remove, you also clear their "registry keys"(normally config files) which windows cannot do without a 3rd part program, OMG no i hear you cry, you allow a 3rd party program to run as root and edit your registry what if its malicious? Well theres no other choice, so suck it up!
as for linux vs mac, the two systems, as far as i could tell from my brief time on overpriced hardware, work almost identically. the programs are kept in separate folders, there was a bin folder (not sure if it had links in it though) but more importantly all the users interact with is the start menu, which is provided by aqua (or your linux WM of choice)

The choice of MKV over MP4 is debatable
After a quick google/wiki check all i can find to differentiate the 2 is
1) slightly less overhead
2) mkv is already widely used by pirates (due to multiple soft subs )
But more importantly
MKV is an open standard free Container format, this is Slashdot if you even try to suggest mp4 is superior you will be shot. Generally MKV is widely supported in FOSS, but a major non-foss player supporting it is still great news especially as divx is so widely used.
same here in england. we had 3 apples in the art department and that was it.
Worth it for those small files you don't trust.
Have you tried not running those small files?
If he is so obviously running the company into the ground then cant the shareholders sue him?
There's not much entrapment going on. You just launch IE and click until the download is open, then you're free to use Firefox.
Right, because thats really easy to do on a non windows os.

but you cant be sure that it worked, whereas when the metal has melted its pretty obvious that it worked.
step 6 is prove that there is no god.

Steve Jobs charisma is nice for the free press it gets them but little else.
While i want to agree as i don't care much for him or his products, you have to remember the shares went vertical when he "died".
Just use the analog hole, SACDs may be cracked eventually if somebody else starts using them though.
a) Throw them in the sea (Palestinian solution)
b) Exterminate them (Israeli solution)
If only there was some kind of old border that would keep both sides more content and willing to speak to each-other.
Yeah but Israel started it. And im going by the playground rule that the guy that starts the fight is the biggest douche and so deserves to loose.
