You can play it for ten hours or ten minutes and have a blast the whole time. Zero Punctuation disagrees (as usual). (allow escapistmagazine.com through noscript at least temporarily)
It seems to be hard as nails as well. Is it actual glass? Yes. Of the same quality used for optics.
Also, what's with those cloths that Apple puts into the notebook/iPhones? Those things are absolutely perfect. I've never seen a better "Wiping Cloth". Use it all the time for my glasses, screens and phone. I think it's some kind of a fine-mesh, soft felt. I believe that would be Microfiber cloth.
It's still for the younger gamers to have proof for their parents.

Wine 1.0-rc2 Released

Troll, but I'll bite.
Why isn't Microsoft working with the Wine project? Why should they help a direct competitor?
Why hasn't Microsoft absolved the Wine project from any lawsuits? What can MS sue them for?
Where is Microsoft doing anything to increase interoperability with Linux and Windows as they have said they were several times? Some work with Novell in the network integration area, and they (begrudgingly) handed over neccisary details of AD to SAMBA.
Where is DirectX for Linux from Microsoft? Why would we want that? I think we would prefer that games be written in OpenGL.
Why does Microsoft have an interoperability forum on their website where you can discuss it but no ports of their software for Linux? How many years and versions of Microsoft Office, Media Player, Internet Explorer, and other tools have been released without a Linux version for purchase (and the latter examples, for download)? Why should we have to rely on Wine, Cedega, and other projects to attempt support for Windows programs on Linux when Microsoft has claimed they were all about Open Source and interoperability? Because it looks good to the press. We all have known that for some time now.
When will justice come down on Microsoft for its crimes? Is the Department of Justice blind? Thursday
but the geeks can display their supple sensibilities and well-modulated emotions on their Facebook pages, blogs, text messages and Twitter feeds... I would call myself a geek, but I avoid using all those things like the plague. The only thing one could make a case that I use is a blog (/.).
the sun is i-don't-know-how-many orders of magnitude more powerful than any wi-fi network Even in the 2.4 Ghz spectrum? I would think that if it were more powerful, the signals would get drowned out.
You are basing your decision on the opinions of your non-technical friends and not the informed, logical, and totally unbiased opinion of the/. hive mind?
Not that your friends are wrong, of course.
He seems like an asocial, obnoxious person who needs to be chewed out until he understands what he's doing wrong. Yeah, that's worked out great so far. [/sarcasm]

This is a MMOFPS?
The oddly colored mushroom cloud should be obvious.
I do not expect DOSbox to ever run Crysis. ;-)
wget ftw!
It is, but it's a double-edged sword sometimes.
Real nerds have a caffeine IV drip.

This is less about the code and more about properly handling the project.
Red ones.

Yes. The project entered a 1-month "bugfixes only" mode with the release of RC1.

So that's why Windows moved to PPC. ...
Oh, wait...

Maybe they can get back into the console market while they're at it. Yes, the Pippin was a failure, but then so was the iPhone's predecessor the Rokr.

That's exactly what this is about. They just don't want to be responsible for actually choosing a particular one.
