Like I said, look at the leaked source code as well as the Quake and Quake 2 source code. The Half-life 2 engine is a derivative of Id Software's engines! You can think that I am wrong all you want, but the source code is hard evidence to the contrary.
I have a little book that EVERYONE should read. Why? Because this little book is has interesting symmetries from the syntax all the way up to higher-level concepts in the books storyline. It is an old book originally written in French (free online version), but translated into English. The book is classified as surrealist, and that might be the best one word description of it... but it definitely doesn't do it justice.
It is free if you can read French, and it is inexpensive if you do not. JUST TRY IT! Note that the original French has the best syntax level symmetry in that the author would make use of words that were spelled similarly but had different meanings... he would then construct sentences around that which were nearly the same at the level of text, but wildly different at the level of semantics. He even takes this interesting anti-symmetry all the way up to the storyline. It is one interesting and entertaining read. The English translation is still enjoyable, but 2nd best to the French original.
Don't even try to Babelfish the free online version. It might make you cry.
It wasn't completely developed by Valve. If you look at the leaked source code you can see that it is actually a derivative of Id Software's Quake source code. Yup, Valve was lying out it being written from scratch by them.
Sad fact is, the Linux community has done insignificant work to usher in game development.
SDL is a notable contribution to game development, and SDL was made by Loki - a Linux game developer. Considering that SDL is the only cross platform game development API... you are wrong, the Linux community has contributed allot!
Modern scientific evidence suggests that the Canaanites were a Semitic people most likely ancestors of modern day Arabs and Semitic-Jews. So the people's ancestors still exist, but their name has changed.
So Palestinians, non-Jewish Semites, have always lived on that land. Just because you hate that fact, doesn't mean it isn't true, and it doesn't mean that non-Jewish people should be ethnically clensed as you support.
While "Gentile" simply means non-Jew, it usually means Christian. If you are a Christian, then I suggest that you read the Gospel of Mark.
Note how Jesus stresses that we love one another.
Note how Jesus even uses a specific example of this with regards to his generation's "Palestinians"... yes the Samaritans of Jesus's time, like the Palestinians of our time, were a non-Jewish Semitic people living on the land we now call Israel and Palestine. Furthermore, like the Palestinians of today, the Samaritans of Jesus's time were disliked by many Jews. HOWEVER, Jesus taught us to see thru our prejudices and love a Samaritan AKA a Palestinian.
The "we were here first" argument isn't a good one for you - the Jews were there thousands of years before the Muslims & the Arabs. Islam is only 1400 years old.
While religious texts aren't necessarily historical, plenty of scientific evidence exists which supports the existence of non-Jewish Semitic civilization in Israel for thousands of years before Jewish control. Furthermore, scientific evidence also suggests that these Canaanites were Semitic and ancestors of both Jews and modern-day Palestinians.
It turns out that "Palestinians" have been living their since pre-history. These people's culture and religion has slowly changed, some became Jews, some Christian, some Muslim... whatever...
In this day, why does the current government of Israel apply two different standards: one to Jews and another to "Palestinians"? They are both people of the same land. There is a word for such a thing: apartheid.
In my opinion, two nations (Israel and Palestine) is not a solution, it is a further institutionalization of the problem. The true solution is one nation as has always been the case. Call it Israel, call it Palestine, call it Judea, whatever... BUT _everyone_ should be equal under the law and _everyone_ should have religious freedom. Religious sites should be respected and shared in such a way as to respect each religion's beliefs.
If you don't want all that bulk of Knoppix, then try two of its derivatives:
1. Damn Small Linux, which is 50MB and fits on those business card CDs. Keep a few in your wallet, so you can pass them out to friends.
2. Flonix, which is 60MB and fits on those small CDs and also has another distro that fits on bootable USB Flash pen drives. I have a combination of DSL and Flonix on my 64MB keychain USB flash drive, along with DOS, and the Redhat network installer (all bootable from my syslinux menu). Talk about a useful keychain:)
Yeah, everyone should use FTP... for security reasons... wait, shouldn't that be for insecurity reasons? Why not just post your user names and passwords on your website?
Why don't you just play Quake TF? It is still the great game that got you started, and there are new improved clients with newer better graphics. Check out www.fuhquake.net, for a free client, and play the best TF there is.
You are an idiot. Quake's source code was leaked back in 1996 by hackers... the same year Quake went gold. Many years later, once Quake 3 was released, Quake's source was officially released under GPL. So your post ignores nearly half a decade of history. But what the hell, you are an idiot gamer.
The makers of VideoLAN will have more of an
impact on my daily life than the guy who solves some math puzzle. 'course, I could be extremely short sighted;)
Need I even go into the amount of highly sophisticated math required to design something like VideoLAN? How do you think humans gained the capability to develop such sophisticated means of audio and video compression? How about the number theory involved in the asymmetric encryption used by many secure networking protocols?
Sure the math involved in these things might have been made before your lifetime, but then the math being developed today will have a huge impact on your descendant's life.
The problem with local governments is that they have grown very large. So while it used to make sense when you came from a small town of a few hundred, when your town has millions of people in it... letting local government determine what to censor is a bad idea. It makes more sense to let families determine the "right" answer. Let the parents determine what to censor.

Nah, I prefer fast paced action in my multiplayer first person shooters. Thats why I still play Quake (made in 1996).

Savage doesn't cost much, and the company is a bunch of cool guys that should be supported. So just buy a copy so you support great games!
Humans will just have to switch over to playing other board games that computers aren't good at such as the 4000 year old game called "Go".
The more important bit of advice is that hard work is more important than both imagination and knowledge.

First off, Muslims are not the same thing as Arabs. In fact, the term "Arab" seems to be used to describe Semites living in the Middle East. Well, non-Jewish Semites have been living on the land now known as "Israel" far before the Judaism took over. In the Torah and Old Testament of the Bible, stories are told of the Jews destroying Canaanite cities, killing Canaanites, etc... until the Jews took over.
While religious texts aren't necessarily historical, plenty of scientific evidence exists which supports the existence of non-Jewish Semitic civilization in Israel for thousands of years before Jewish control. Furthermore, scientific evidence also suggests that these Canaanites were Semitic and ancestors of both Jews and modern-day Palestinians.

Is this the link to the aforementioned forum thread?
I think he meant http://www.dslreports.com/.
I think we need to divert money from the military to NASA :) It should be a 50/50 split.
Since when did the government care to provide Linux support? NASA is truely the exception to the rule.
Thats a High School level software debugging trick. Use print statements to locate problems.
We have to cut back on killing eachother and supressing eachother before we can colonize another planet.
