Yes, it is possible and quite easy (at least with quake 3). In fact, if you look at lokisoft's quake3 page under the FAQ, it tells you how to do it. All you need to do is download the point release for your particular platform that you intend to run it on (whether it me MAC, linux, or windows), and copy the pak0.pak (I think that's the name of the file) to your pak directory in your quake3 directory (I'm not positive all the directory and file names are correct, but it tells you how to do either in the point release or loki's site, I don't seem to recall which.
Free Software =! Open Source Software! Actually, technically what you're saying in this is: Free software is equal to not (!) Open source software. I believe what you mean to say is: Free Software != Open source software. Nice little rant, but get your syntax right.:)
This will provide very interesting outcomes in regards to the advancement of the gaming community in general. We could get a lot of cool games from this.
I don't think it matters anyway. To get 3d support going, you have to load a "linux" kernel module. I'm not extremely experienced with the BSD's, but I don't think that they could use a binary only interfaced module. Yes, I know there are source RPMs, but probably only to the affect of compiling a different interface to another binary file that is compiled into the module, which is in turn used to "talk" to the video card.
FYI, The NTFS driver is not being dropped because the maintainter "just quit". It is because of lack of info on NTFS + the author is loosing time to work on it. Open source works, you just have to have "source" to work on. The NTFS partition support was basically a "hack", we didn't have any docs or whitepapers that did anything for us.
Wow!! Does this sound anything like a certain book I know written by Robert Heinlein (Starship Troopers). Actually though, it sounds like a very cool think they're doing if it all works out. Who wouldn't want to be able to lift cars one-handed, leap tall buildings in a single bound, etc.:)
I believe most of the people that even know about apache probably run it on a *nix system and would scough at it being run on a win32 box. I would never trust a major server to a windows box.
Newspapers might try to post userfriendly. I would probably read (at least the comic page) the newspaper every day. I hate to say it though, but newspapers (at least in the nerd/geek area) seem to be getting very unpopular for a lot of our culture. Just a view from my knothole
Dune was an excellent book, although I don't know how far you could get into the series before you start loosing her on stuff. As herbert got into that series he really got pretty deep on stuff.

Is there a doubt in anyone's mind?
It's like the spanish inquisition all over again. Go against the "mainstream belief" and suffer the consequences.
Or, better yet, learn dvorak. I know a quite a few people with carpal tonal problems that switched and quit having trouble. A couple of good links:

This site has a lot of general information about it.

This is a really good tutorial that I used. I was able to switch in about three days.
It's been here for a while. A fully opensource PBX.
I'm not trying to troll or anything, but it's acutally the first 512 bytes on a given disk.

Why must you constantly curse this posting with your awful grammer and bad manners?
Why don't you learn how to spell before you type? You can't do a decent trolling if nobody understands what you said.
