Where are the moderators when you need them. This line of posts is irrelevant bickering I'd expect to see in a post about Qt 2.0 or KDE, or the opposite argument in a post about Enlightenment or Gnome.
Linux is about freedom of choice.
Keep your opinions to yourself if you're not going to be constructive.
Let me get this straight. You think that a *2D* RTS like C&C2 will do well in the market of RTS games with the likes of BattleZone 2, Metal Fatigue, Force Commander, etc looming on the horizon? (I saw BZone2 at the Beatdown and it looked awesome)
Westwood is beating a dead horse (the C&C 2D engine and interface) and trying to get as much $$$ for it while they still can.
Why not just help the Golgotha team finish their poject? At least that's open source.
Personally I'd rather see BattleZone 2 on Linux.

We had this problem at the Beatdown, and had to run our tournament on Q3Test 1.05 because of it. Silly id Software. You'd think they would have tested the dedicated server before releasing it. Ah well, hopefully it'll get fixed soon (i'm just suprised it didn't get fixed in 1.07)
Check out Kingpin for Linux -- recently released. (its an unsupported beta patch, but it's a Linux binary, ok??:)
Oh, and Max Payne will be dope as well. Hopefully we'll see a Linux port.

You can't make any money if no one invests. If everyone is greedy, and thinks they'll make a buck or two, then everyone will. Some will lose money as well as the price fluctuates. Its the nature of the game. If you want to make real money, invest for the long term in companies with forseeable futures. I mean, what if Red Hat gets a sudden user backlash and everyone switches to SuSE? The user community is fickle. We should learn this well from what happened to the 3dfx stock.
How many emails and of what nature constitute spam? Its a very subjective thing. You can't go sign up for a mailing list, and then sue the mailing list maintainers for "spamming" you.
If you're annoyed you couldn't invest, or that you're a Debian developer and aren't interested, then that's different.
Unless they sent you like 5 emails I don't see why you're whining.
I don't care about look and feel so much as functionality. Personally I could give a rats ass about Gnome's "official emailer" Balsa, because it doesn't do anything worthwile and crashes a lot trying to do even that.:P Thank you, I'll suffer through a crappy looking toolkit or a text based program like Pine or Mutt rather than lose the features I need to get things done. GUIs are about empowering the user to get things done quickly without typing a lot. Moving files around within deeply structured directories is a lot easier with a file managing program, because you get a quick idea what else is in directories and can see the directory tree structure (eg. does this go in/bin or/usr/bin.. umm) . Also, chmodding/chowning manually is annoying and by comparison toggling little boxes is super easy. (some people just don't understand what chmod 666 does, and some will think it satanic..:P)
I for one have a few favorite apps that have to be GUI. 1) FTP -- right now gftp is the most functional and stable. 2) E-Mail -- I think this goes to Mahogany 3) Web browser -- Lynx is useful, but not always useful. Hard to navigate art sites with it, hehe. Mozilla is looking nice, but is taking its sweet time. 4) Compression utility -- guiTAR is pretty nice 5) File manager -- kfm is less prone to crashes, but neither kfm or gmc can associate mime types and file types as easily as windows explorer. I think I prefer gmc's interface, but I don't like how Gnome apps don't like to play very well with window managers other than Enlightenment. I for one dislike how hard it is to configure E, and prefer Window Maker's elegant simplicity.

I would like to either see all GTK and QT applications supporting the panel of both KDE and Gnome eventually, or at least making it very easy for the user to switch at runtime with a parameter! That way applications like KBiff, etc could be used under Gnome, and those like GTop and the Pager could be used under KDE. *That* would rock.
I'm sure these talks about Corba and compatibility between the KDE and Gnome implementations is definitely a step in the right direction.
Canadian culture is largely of Scottish, British, and French origins. These days, its becoming more of a melting pot as Indians come in for technical jobs, and Asians fleeing from Hong Kong, or immigrating from wherever else (Vietnam, Laos, Taiwan, etc). Vancouver, BC has a huge Asian population now, for one example.
As for "American" culture, I don't think there's anything that's so "American" and not from anywhere else, that you can claim its only found in "America"... unless you're talking about Hollywood, and I think I'd have to say that they're more biting other countries' cultures than anyone in the States.
Anyway, back to the topic, the French are always damn strange. Next you'll see the damn Quebeqois trying to pull something equally strange. You know, they demanded that all the Stop signs (an otherwise universal word for traffic signs) be changed to the French translation? Yeesh.
It all stems from the fear that they will be assimilated into something larger and their cultural and global identities will be forgotten.
Hear, hear. I would have to agree heartily with this. I've become annoyed that I get rlogin/rexec/etc in inetd when choosing the net-tools and/or telnet packages for a distribution. Garbage. Its become customary for me to set up SSH and disable every daemon I don't use. Soon I will make it a practice to disable telnet as well. Now I just need to figure out how to configure samba, so I can share an SSH client for windoze for my friends without a clue (or URL).
I like the idea that the distribution has, but I can't see why they had to pick a name with obvious script kiddy and warez pup appeal. Ah well, names can always be changed. Maybe a Discordian reference for a name? Kalisti Linux?:)
Anyway, I would like to see this thing offer GPL alternatives to SSH 2.0 and PGP, along with all the tools that come with the two floppy distribution, Trinux.
Get a life. There are people who use operating systems other than Linux out there. Duh! (and no, i'm not just talking about Microsquish products either)
Unfortunately, Leo didn't die in a stage accident in the filming of Titanic.
DiCaprio is willing to get into the next Episode "any way possible", so at worst if he pesters Lucas enough, we could let him play a nameless Storm Trooper, or a costumed creature that no one could identify (like that big nosed black clothed creature who rats our heroes out in Episode IV)
Any developer worth his salt on a console will code the closest equivalent to assembly code for the platform and get all the power then can out of the system. How the hell do you think they managed to code things like Yoshi 2 on the SNES and X-Men vs. Street Fighter perfect arcade port for the Saturn (with the 4MB RAM cart)? No one is going to touch the Windows CE OS option unless they're PC game industry programmers without a clue.
Too bad dhcpcd doesn't work with my 3c905TX 10/100 card in Linux, although it works perfectly fine in Windoze. Maybe this is a 3c59x "Vortex/Boomerang" driver issue in linux, or something dumb I'm doing, but either way I'd like some official support from 3Com to help me on my way. I paid money for their net card, which coincidentally puts a shitload of cpu strain on your computer at high packet transfer rates.

I wouldn't mind having Cavedog's NEXT game to come out on Linux... which would be Amen: The Awakening? (great, another FPS?

If I decided to email you about some investment opportunity, would you consider that spam too?
How about if I was just telling you about the new Debian release?
Or what the weather was like where I live?
Where do you draw the line?
People abuse the word spam.
