I pay $85/mo for my ISP service, but then again my ISP service is provided by the biggest shysters in Canada. I dread to think what business service from them would cost...
And why yes, I do pay that much because of the cap...
Why does putting a driver in user space require a performance hit?
A context switch between processes in the same privilege level happens relatively quickly, but a context switch across privilege levels (e.g. calling user code from the kernel or vice versa) is much slower due to the mechanism involved.
The "bigger selection" bit is mostly a fallacy. Yes, there are more PC games in total, but only a certain slice of them will run on your PC. The available selection doesn't actually increase appreciably, it pretty much only changes.
Pretty much all you need to do is get Linux working on it and then the userland falls into place after a compile (assuming it wasn't put together by a horde of drunken monkeys in the first place).
The kid shouldn't be taking classes just to think...
Are you kidding me? I have a folder full of bookmarks full of stories about people that don't think, and they're FRIGGING HILARIOUS since these are basic things like if you pay for one meal you get one meal and these people just don't get that. Would you like me to share?
... or just for challenge.
You're right, better for these kids to get c*ckslapped by reality when they enter the real world and realize that hey, not everything is easy!
The kid should be taking courses directly aligned with their chosen future. This goes for college/university as well. It's good to be specialized.
If you want to specialize then go to a trade school; science is part of a proper "general" education regardless of whomever doesn't like it.
Okay, so it's not freedom then. It's quasi-freedom. But at least no one has the freedom to take my quasi-freedom away. If they want in then they have to add to the pool of quasi-freedom instead of taking anything away.
Once the engines are ported, the games should be available with just a few commands on the part of the developers (assuming the programmers knew their head from their ass in the first place [yes, I'm an optimist that way]).

They wouldn't have to (lose dominance) if they took a few steps:
1) Complete wine
2) Port explorer, the common controls, and COM
3) Sell it all bundled together
But as they say, "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall".

That's a good thing, since your speed will be 0 mph between appropriate solstices at each pole, due to poor or no sunlight.

TFS doesn't say what this shit is for.
That's because it's been in TFS of almost every article mentioning ICANN for the past... year and a half or so. Maybe longer.
Who the hell put these jokers in charge in the first place? They keep going from one bad idea to the next...

Of course, porting the engines is no mean feat...
Cancel your order with RS and go to one of the sane companies stocking and shipping them.
Sure, but there's a difference between making a great game in 1 year with a great engine, and making a great game in 3 years with a poor engine.
Dairy also contains casein, which many believe to be problematic for AS individuals.
How is software supposed to look for the holes? With the camera which a) may or may not be connected, and b) may or may not be pointed at the board?
What we need is a cheap and cheesy way to make nitromethane in bulk. No idea how, but that would solve several problems at once.

Any step towards killing the media middleman is a positive one as far as I'm concerned.
The RIAA IS the middleman. Fail harder.
