Actually, I have 3D support on the open-source Gallium driver for my r700 series ATI card, and they're still heavily working on that driver so support may become a lot better. The open-source graphics driver world has been doing a lot better ever since Gallium came along.
I can't play Minecraft yet, though. But any typical Linux OpenGL game will work.
Who says social networks are just for "finding new friends while leaving behind the real old ones", though? I use it as another way to communicate with my actual friends and family. Everyone else is merely "some sort of contact", not a Friend, as Facebook would like you to think.
You can choose to hide your real name, or any other detail about you, to the world wide public, and you can set up a nickname for yourself. If you ask me, that seems like a huge step up from Facebook.
Which driver is the LEAST likely to be updated? Again that would be the graphics driver.
And yet the graphics driver is the one thing I see updated so much more often than, say, my sound card driver or any other driver for any other hardware on my PC whatsoever.
The BUILD editor wasn't free in 1996. You had to buy a BUILD-based game (ie. DN3D or Shadow Warrior) in order to use it. Which is more or less exactly the same thing Valve did, in their release time (since there was no HL2 in 1996).
At least if you run a half-decent Linux distro, these updates all happen in a single centralized location. I really hate all the boot-crippling "update services" each and every single software vendor seems to install.
Chrome is being smart, too, with them having an internal version of Flash that is updated automatically with the browser.
Even with rolling upgrades, you're still at risk. For me, both Ubuntu and Fedora have failed to boot after some random update. Sure, it only happened after, say, 200 update processes or so, but it can still randomly happen, especially with more cutting-edge distros like Fedora. Which is why it can be nice to have an extra partition with a permanently functioning, if outdated, version of the distro.
By the way, I don't do that. I'm all risk and if it really fails majorly I use the terminal or reinstall the distro. Having/home on a separate partition is always a good idea, though.
If Silverlight kept on living, it would have happened eventually. Then again, eventually, Moonlight would have started working instead of crashing all my browsers instantly.

No it's not, and yes they are. I could tell you why, but I feel that would be a waste of my time and something you're better off researching yourself.
You do realize that this is opt-in only, right? You don't like it, just don't use it. It's not like you're automatically registered on G+ or whatever.
You don't opt out of Google+. You have to opt in to use it.

Fedora (or should I say Gnome 3?) has some Evolution integration stuff I don't care about, too, though.
Don't exaggerate. Four hours.

You are not everybody.
That line was a bit difficult to read until I realized that you glued two sentences together it is not a very good idea to do that you know?

That figure is closer to a few thousand people, considering how many and what kind of people use any kind of Linux distro.
That's what I would have thought a few years ago, but GMail is surprisingly good at it.

Yeah! I'm surprised MS's own website is even coded in HTML! The shock!

Which box looks more durable and future-proof, so that I may still make money off of it in a few years?
Yeah, well, he's still a genius in France.

He does! At least, he did when he had his first concert in the Netherlands this year. Even wore the suit for Fat.
