I don't know how it's in Windows 7, but, for me these 1995-2000 games work pretty well in Wine. Well, my favorites, StarCraft, Unreal and Unreal Tournament, at least.
Sometimes when working on some algorithmical or mathematical problem, I draw stuff on paper to visualize the problem better and find the solution. Drawing on a computer screen will never replace drawing with a pen on paper for that purpose for me.
They're still developing new Xbox 360 versions? Usually after so many years, there appear new consoles. But this time it seems none of the big 3 console makers has any plans for this.
Another indication that processing speeds aren't really increasing anymore these days?
I gave a very detailed explanation, filled in all the fields. The version numbers of wine, I had given by giving the name the version number indication had in the packages of my distro (it were clear numbers, like wine-1.1.38 or so). The response seemed human, at least someone who indicated that these version numbers were incorrect...
User interface and easy installation aren't really that important to me... What is important to me is that it can actually run the applications, and can continue to do so. With a recent Wine upgrade, suddenly Age of Mythology couldn't run anymore, and when reverting back to an older version of Wine it works again.
And when I reported that bug to the appDB, they didn't add it because I gave the Wine version number in a wrong format (while they could easily have converted it to the right format).
Well, too bad for them if they don't even want to fix such a bug. I'll keep using the superior older version then. I'm not going through the pain to submit it again if that's the kind of people that processes my bug report.
They could as well just have used the last millisecond to show the browser. I mean, it's a screen shown only once to a user. What's more random, and uniform, than the time the screen appears in milliseconds modulo 5?
What made someone who made a browser plugin for the web even THINK about DirectX 11? How is that possible? How can someone create something for the web and choose a Windows-only technology instead of OpenGL?
I think that behaviour is as old as SVN. When I check out a repo the first time (or commit to it the first time), SVN has always asked me whether I want to remember the password.
And last time I think even a KWallet dialog popped up, so maybe the makers of SVN recently did something to this?
For me, if in my GMail, next to Inbox it says something like (1) or some other value (N), then to me that's an indicator: I have a mail or a TODO! Must process the mail to get back to 0 unread messages!
Now suddenly this Buzz thing appeared below Inbox, and it sometimes also gets a (1) next to it, and this for things that I'm currently not using (I'm waiting a bit until all the privacy things are settled and/or enough friends push me into using it before actually using it)!
So the Buzz gives my GMail the appearance of being "Busy" or requiring processing!
Luckily you can hide things from the list on the left, so that's what I did to Buzz as a current solution for this problem...

"What will happen if the company that owns the patent asserts it?"
What will happen to a company that would assert a patent on the wheel? That is my answer to the question.
How long before these botnets are so big and complex that they become similar in structure to the human brain and start thinking on their own?

Yep. I think there was one organelle in the nail of my left big toe that cared.
1. Take rocket
2. Place it horizontal instead of vertical
3. ???
4. Profit!

Yeah, and that makes my phone a spy-phone too! Cool!
By the way, mind you, I wasn't saying these were actually good games... In fact I like the 2D poker game much better.
There's 3D golf, 3D snake and 3D rally on my Nokia phone...
That means 18 months of experiments at the highest particle accelerator power ever! Isn't that exciting?
Who is most likely to find the Higgs boson then? The LHC, or the Tevatron?
Ok, if it doesn't run on any non-Microsoft platform, it's not cross platform. Nice try Microsoft. Better luck next time.
But how much work is it going to be go get this thing clean after usage?!
I also don't really understand the tone of the article. I mean, it's a demo, right? It's free.
I don't understand why something like this can be patented though. I mean, it's just an idea.
Wow so Microsoft invented a device for sorting digital shoes? Cool! Hip!

Pun not intended!
Ok, sorry, had read only the summary when posting this. Should have read the full article first...

Flash isn't just for playing video. I think there are many people who play more games in Flash than native games.
