Heh, Tim Sweeney, is an insect compared to Carmack. I own Unreal, so i'm not bias here. Sweeney's game didn't run all that smooth, sure it had a lot of better graphics, but guess what... it game out quite a bit after quake 2. The networking code was broken as hell when it came out, I don't think they have OpenGL support in yet, and its not portable.
Yeah, i heard some fluff about Tim porting Unreal to linux... big deal, its not happening from what i know.
Nah, Timmy is good, but Carmack is god.

Actually, MS does have its uses. Personally, I'm the sort that things all operating systems should be opensource. But, IMO, if your not making a OS, then go ahead with whatever you want. So what i'm saying is that i would love to see windows but utterly destroyed (I know, i'm not holding my breath), but MS can continue making apps, and thats fine by me.
Companies should be limited to what they can do, make an closed source OS? no apps (this means you Microsoft). making hardware? Hell no (This means you Apple). When i say Opensource i mean 100% opensource, i mean like BSD or Linux. None of this ASPL darwin crap.
That is so true, I use both fairly often (i really like OpenBSD personally) and both are excellent. I always think its a shame when BSD and linux users argue. All Open Source os's are kick ass.
Speaking of OpenBSD, anyone notice that 2.5 comes out... May 19! Damn, now i have to skip work AND starwars =(
Well, sending email as HTML for one thing. I've never really done it, but mabye some people dig it. They can dig it, html is ok.
But you know whats really missing? I do! A SPINNY ICON. Thats right, in todays market, if it doesn't have a lame memory eating icon spinning in the top right corner it doesnt cut it.
Of course, writing this on Slashdot I am basically preaching to the anti-choir....
What is this? A generalization? What a stupid thing to say after such a good little rant. Bill Gates is 100% Evil == Slashdotters are arugemnetative and subborn
Hell, with linux, I can do ANYTHING i want with my OS, anything, I can even turn around and sell it.
I came from windows, of course, a few years ago, and I must say, i've grown REALLY attached to my new found computing freedom. That we are saying is that now we have absolute freedom, we are not going to trade it away. I like not having to pay for upgrades. I like not having to worry about my vendor ripping me off. I would remind you of the Blender GL problem a while back, shit like that doesn't happen to us now.
BTW, i own a copy of BeOS, i'm the guy who loves to play with new os's, I used it for a good while to, its fast and clean. Its a good OS, I honestly rather like it. But its going to restrict me freedoms, so i'm gonna forget it.
I donno, i always thought linux was good for a laptop, it has battery stuff... I had linux on muh good old IBM Thinkpad 510, running Debian on that lil guy. But I sold it before I could test the hell out of it. Still, linux does neat things like CPU IDLE CALLS that windows9x doesn't, and that apmd thing seems to work good.
Umm, the second i own a laptop (ahahhaha) you can bet your keyboard that.. hey! Doesnt www.linux-hw.com sell kick ass linux laptops? I'll bother them! =)

Oh My God! You mean I can't run windows on it? Well then it must be useless!!! =)
Come on... the fact it can't run windows is a GOOD thing, stupid old MS can't actually port windows to it (probably =) so it'll basically require linux because windows can't adapt to the market fast enough =) Thats kinda neat if you think about it, boy, i sure love computers. I like all these neat-o nifty chips =) To think that poor microsoft will be suck on the boring, uninteresting, irritating, slow, outdated but still kicking ix86 platform just almost enough to make me weep =P~
FINALLY, when I play a starwars game, I won't have to listen to the same old tunes. I love starwars as much as the next guy, but its about damn time some new starwars music got thrown into the mix.

Yeah? well that good does it do? the States has the bombs right? They ignore the UN at a whim, all they can do is critize. The US and its majority of ultra-nationalist people don't give a crap what the other abused countries think becuase they can't do anything about the fact the States is a bad influnce to them.

Your a real indoctrinated little bugger arn't you? A real flag saluter here.
My god, if you can't figure out linux, stay way from a BSD ahahah.
Linux is a breeze to use if you can read a fucking manual. Some kids these days, is reading that hard? Stop being so damn impatient. NetBSD doesn't support as much platforms as it appears to either, take a close look at that platforms it supports and what platforms linux supports.
Also, try installing a newer RedHat, it detects most hardware, and i've installed linux on a lot of boxen, and 95% of the time Rh detected what the card was perfectly fine.
I'm thinking that might not be such a bad thing, I mean, my microwave busted a few days ago, if i just whiped the case of my computer and tossed a couple of sausages rolls in it wouldnt have been so bad.

Mabye we should start marketing those tin undergarmets so we get the beat on the market!
Woah, MP3 Fanatic =)
Hey, you actually OWN all those songs right? =P~

Its all a big plan to assassinate Linus right?
Conceived by Bill Gates, Dr.Evil and wierd Green Bad Guy from that that one flintstones.

I hate touchscreens!!!
Except though, I have to admit for some reason that having a touch screen and using the LCARS Enlightenment theme is strangely attractive...
huh.
Actually, like all win32 software, its quite lame.
Damn, i wish i was more degenerated =(
Man, they better have it out... come summer i'm gonna have a load of (well, for me) cash to spent on computer upgrades to replace my aging old beast.
Naturally... i'm not gonna TOUCH the TNT2 until i have those TNT2 drivers in my greedy little hands.
I'm bored to tears of my old V2 =)
Hell Yeah!
There is nothing quite like deleting legacy win32 systems to replace then with modern linux ones =)
Sometimes, i install win32 systems just to delete them =P~ (No, i don't actually, well once).

Who gives a shit?
Are you one of those creeps who thinks we still need MS crap on linux?
Well, yeah, your right.
Thats a good point, I personally don't think either KDE or GNOME was that great when they came out. (GNOME 1.0 ahhaaha NO.)
I'm thinking that might not be such a bad thing, I mean, my microwave busted a few days ago, if i just whiped the case of my computer and tossed a couple of sausages rolls in it wouldnt have been so bad.
Oh great,
and we can call it the "DiscoBox".
er wait, Disco isnt popular anymore. dammit!
Oh well =(
