the mirror. I hope it dont bounce weapon shots as well, casue if it were placed in the right area, I'd be shootin myself:)
that q3 powerup thingie - the guy looked freakin cool...the animated skin idea frightens me.
transparency and fog - that lil window looked freakin rad, as did walkin through the fog
teleports - q1 style teleports. woohoo!
this just looks like q2 mappers/skinners/mod developers are gonna have a ball playin with it:) and about the guy above me - the stomped.com was runnin fine for me: abt 90k/s in the dorms here...
I hate Microsoft Operating Systems for two primary reasons, which are based on the same thing:
1. Instability. 2. Refusal to address the problem properly (fix the damned crashing/security holes BEFORE adding features that YOU think we need, BEFORE adding on/developing your own proprietary 'protocols', and BEFORE you fsck over the little companies that have a great idea that you think would be nice in the next version of windows)
Note I said MS.OS's, and not MS themselves. I think BG is the greatest marketer of all time, and there are actually some MS products I like, and wish I could use in linux. I wish a product similar to Outlook could be developed, where the same database is used for all actions (ContactsEmail clientCalander). There are definately shortcomings to Outlook, but the whole idea is quite nice.
I think that Linux has the potential to overtake Microsoft on the desktop. I am almost certain that Linux will overtake MS on the server front. Period. I think you are talking about an entire distribution of Linux, not the kernel (this loose collaboration of developers just hasnt worked for the stability of the Linux kernel. A MS kernel with "a single company to take control, and focus the development of the OS" has been proven it works.).
I agree that any look (I personally dont like the windows look, not to say everyone has to) that is constant, is better than the mix of GTK/QT/Motif/et al. I wish we did have a single look, but on the other hand, thats the fun of Linux: CUSTOMIZATION. My box looks NOTHING like those of my friends', and its good that way: much more productive.
Linux has a LONG way to go to overtake the desktop monopoly MS has created. THIS, I believe is in the hands of BOTH the companies that distribute (Redhat's installs of hardware components is quite nice...sndconfig helps. we need something like that for PnP stuff), and for the developers of their programs (make things as easy as possible - thats why I like RPM [havent tried other packages/managers] - its the way a binary was *supposed* to be distributed).

sigh...they used it in the link. oh well, guess not everybody's perfect ;)
Maybe I'll write a review about Moses and the Exodus (obviously a forshadow of streaming media)...
