It's tricky for any *nix kernel driver hacker to write GPU code when the hardware is locked and proprietary, and these hardware vendors only offered official Windows drivers.
See Intel for example, are now working to open the hardware, these details were never available to anyone wanting to write driver code back then, so *nix got a little behind on the GPU side.
I recon in about 5 years that would have changed a great deal.
If DOOM and Leisure Suit Larry had an illegitimate love child, it'd have been Duke Nukem 3D.
Well played, sir.
But:
- DOOM did not allow jumping, so the level designs are very different - DN3D had a mouse-look option, whereas in DOOM you can't control the viewport pitch axis (because all walls are drawn vertically; see rendering section for Tech 1 Engine) - DN3D had an inventory system for items (night vision, jetpack, medkti) - Build Engine vs Tech 1 Engine - Nipple Tassels! Nuff said.
As kids we had those cheap Golden China NES knock-offs, this month I've been playing Mario Bros et al. Last night it was Sonic 1, and Splatterhouse 3. Yeehaa!
any attack on open source would be seen as a foreign company attacking local software projects
I bet they considered this in the beginning, but just didn't give a damn because they only thought of themselves, and not of the betterment of the software community.
It's up to us to keep their past FUD tactics as public knowledge. We mustn't give Microsoft the chance to fake a new image to those who are unfamiliar with their past wrong doings!
Prescribed drugs aren't always taken in the recommended dose, I'm sure many here can relate to this. Slip a doc an extra clip and score Prozac, for example, and take a month's supply in one week. Magic times.

Through the miracle of statistics, using probabilities spread across internet forums and mailing lists, chances are _very_ good that the server ran Sharepoint. Using the process of elimination, I guess that answers the question.

... factors taken into consideration are what I like to call “power submitters”... and “power diggers”... The algorithm also relies on other factors, Vir says, including the time of day (since stories submitted in the early morning hours are unlikely to reach the front page) and whether the link comes from “preferred” sites that appeal to Digg users
If people adapt their submission procedure to increase their chance of it reaching front page, it will drop the algorithm's accuracy initially, as submitters that don't fit the user profile suddenly match the 'best submission time criteria'.
The curve will then level out, and climb again, eventually increasing the algorithm's accuracy beyond the initial point as more people conform to the best criteria.
It is funny that you should mention that the "book" suffix suggests a social networking site. I'm not on facebook, I'm not exposed to it as much, thus I do not see that suffix suggestive of a social networking site.

There's no need to upgrade your PC for this, I hear the engine is based on hardware from 1997 when it all started.

That is all.
... but can it run on GNU/Linux?
Just hack into the compo results DB and change the winning entry's contact details to faux ones that you have access to. Easy winnings!
Well I guess if you can't be bothered to improve earth, your kind will just have to die with everyone else then.
Even if our generation won't see it materialize, if we don't set an example, who will?

Suddenly this sub-thread isn't so funny now that it actually makes sense.

I'll drink to that.

Actually there is, I'm surprised that not more people use (or know) of it. See Google Chart API
Thanks for this! :-)

Ah, clever. I see what you did there.
