I was also pleased with the Linux version of Never Winter Nights but very disappointed when NWN2 was only available for Windows platforms.
Other good Linux Games: Savage, Savage2, UT2004 and more.
I still remember Loki Software which went belly-up in 2001. They had some great titles and I supported them by buying 4-5 games from them. Most of the ports they made have been taken over by LPG.:(
Maybe they could offload some of the processing to computing platforms running screensavers the way the SETI project once did and how BitCoin does now.
Oh, I believe if Verizon isn't allowed to charge for 4g tethering, then they shouldn't be charging for 3g or 2g either. But, 4g is a first step. Also, I don't expect to have 4g wherever I go but now there's at least some chance I'll have a free connection. Its not like my phone doesn't tell me what type of data connection I have.
This is good news. My Verizon Galaxy Nexus is supposed to allow USB tethering but when I tried it, I got a popup with an 800 number and a message saying I have to order a special data plane. I'd be happy with any kind of tethering so I can use my laptop where my phone works.
I haven't read The Silmarilion, yet but if your analogy with the bible is accurate, it could still be made into a movie or TV series. How many different movies have been made about Jebuz? There's the "Passion of Christ", the one that starred William Defoe, the one that starred Max Von Sydow, etc, etc.
Who cares about Apple OS's? The whole company sucks and so do their overpriced products. I hear it sucks ass to work at Apple. Its very cutthroat and the company that makes their hardware, Foxconn, literally has nets outside the windows to save would-be jumpers from committing suicide.
The cities on the East Coast can't manage a foot? With modern technology and a mostly not-dead population?
Why are you referring to just the east coast? Many of the Gulf Coast states would have flooding or be under water including Florida, Texas and Louisiana. What about west coast cities?
Sorry, you can't compare a tiny island from 112 years ago to abrupt rises in sea-level and the impact that would have on every coastal city today. Also, I'm assuming a larger rise than a foot.
because I have a barebones Facebook account with almost nothing on it and I never use it.
I think I created it some years ago so I could get tickets to a comedy club, or something.
I do networking through LinkedIn and that's about it.
I guess I'm a mass murderer.
Those of us who live along coastal cities are f*cked. If more evidence turns up to support man-made global climate change, and the ocean levels rise, then climate deniers in congress and the senate should have to pay to relocate everyone living in coastal cities. Fair is fair but, it won't work out that way.

Without coastal cities, import/export trade and many industries the nation relies on will be crippled. It could very possibly crush the economy and destroy civilization as we know it.
Initial reports said he was wearing full body armor. those reports later turned out to be false.
He also indiscriminately sprayed fire from high powered automatic weapons
The.223 round isn't high powered, nor was the AR patterned rifle fully automatic.
Again, initial reports said it was a high powered, automatic weapon. Initial reports in the news aren't always complete or accurate but that's what I had to work with.
In grad school. I did a research paper comparing security between Android and IOS. I cited white papers for my information. There have been plenty of vulnerabilities in IOS and those are only the ones we've heard about. Apple's approach allows them to be secretive about security holes and fix them quietly...should they choose to do so. One of the big reason you hear so much about Android flaws is because the public community finds the flaws and naturally, makes the news public. While to the uninformed this appears to hurt Android's reputation, it actually allows for quick, practical solutions to security holes from the vast collective of the Android programming community (of which I'm a member). Whereas with IOS, you have a small collection of paid programmers searching for issues and fixing them, depending on severity of the issue, public awareness of the issue, and available resources at Apple to do the job.
Owwww... you're stupid is showing.
He was not wearing body armor. Flat out. End of story, you are 100% incorrect.
Which makes it real easy for a defender to run up close and put bullets where they need to go.
So not only a major fail on current events, you need to learn basic physics or at least watch a few youtube videos on what happens in the real world not TV.
Initial reports were that he wore body armor protecting the head, throat and groin. I'm not aware if those reports later turned out to be false. YOUR big fail is where, like so many other replies, you failed to address the smoke grenades / tear gas that he used. Good luck getting a good shot in a darkened, gas-filled theater.
initial reports said he wore armor. I'm not a paramilitary gun and weapons enthusiast nor do I pretend to be one so I fail to understand your derogatory remarks. And once more, I will point out that most replies such as yours didn't address the tear gas / smoke grenades that he tossed into the theater. I'd be awesomely impressed if you could take down the gunman in a darkened, gas-filled room with a good shot, without injuring or killing any of the panicked innocents. Now why don't you come back to reality?
Okay but what about the smoke grenades? Those "John Wayne wannabes" can't aim at what they can't see. I suppose they too could shoot indiscriminately and hope a bullet finds its mark.
Is the timing of this news coincidence? The controversy of gun legislation is being brought up due to the recent events in Aurora, Colorado. BTW, no number of delusional John Wayne wannabes could have stopped that gunman. He was wearing full body armor and riot gear, including armored protection for his head, throat and groin. He also indiscriminately sprayed fire from high powered automatic weapons after throwing smoke grenades into the theaters. The casualty rate would have been much higher if his gun didn't jam.
Gee, I thought Apple's walled-garden approach was supposed to be really secure. I've seen a lot of Apple fanboys on slashdot recently mocking the Android model? Where are they now?
"researchers will soon find 'non-violent triggers to mimic the rush of pleasure gamers feel when firing guns."
Will it work for conservative gun-nuts who live by the 2nd Amendment?
The majority of comments I'm seeing on Slashdot are in stark contrast to the experiences and opinion of the article's author. He says everyone he talked to on Twitter hates the larger phones...That's not what I'm seeing here.

LOL. I'm sure you're not serious. Anyway for anyone curious, I got the idea for the moniker from the Neil Stephenson novel "Snow Crash"

No, he wasn't. Check your facts.

From what I see it makes it easier for Java minded devs to create apps that will compile natively to all platforms.
This is why I love developing in Java.
by "on record" I assume they are referring to direct temperature measurements. In other words, since people started recording temperatures.
I second that. Fuck you, Apple
Is that not an admission of guilt of infringement?
no
