  1. Re:What to do on Steam Client for Mac Launches, Linux Client On the Way · · Score: 1

    My case. Never bought anything from steam, wich is a shame. The concept, if done well, is rock solid and interesting.

    Now I have a real problem. If steam comes to Linux, I will buy! :-) I'm thinking about getting one account per game.

    I friend of mine gave me his HL2. He doesn't owns a desktop anymore. If he gives me his account details, he won't be able to play the other games that he owns and that runs well on his notebook.

    Besides, the game is not cheap, and even if it was, this is about the principle of things, not about money (at least to me)...

    Quoting TFA (emphasis mine):

    For all those doubting our reports that Source/Steam would be coming to Linux, you can find confirmation in the UK's Telegraph and other news sites. An announcement from Valve itself is imminent.

    So, it's not official

    I go like this:

    • Car keyring
    • Byke keyring
    • Office keyring

    A distro that accounts for your needs. The bias is in your head. You shouldn't use DSL to run a server. That is one example of improper distro selection. You shouldn't run Hardened Linux on your kids netbook. Thats another.

    So you are telling us that the Apache crowd can't even choose a proper Linux Distro? I imagine you are confusing the existence of a nice gui on the Desktop edition with a badly-made Server one. No conection at all between those two possibilities...

    I agree with you 100%. But keep in mind that its been like 5 years that ubuntu is on the same spot. People do like some changes now and then!

    IMO, the visual change didn't ditch the previous one. At least not on the desktop. Something still reminds me that it's still Ubuntu. OTH, the website changed radically!

  23. Re:Monitor gamma? on Scaling Algorithm Bug In Gimp, Photoshop, Others · · Score: 1

    I guess we are talking about zoom resize, not actual image resize. When you zoom in and out of the image, there is a rescale going on in memory. This rescale should take gamma into account, because is only for visual purposes.

    People that uses photoshop usually checks the image out on true size from now and then, just to make sure they get the picture (pun intended).
