  1. Re:Indeed on Duke Nukem Forever Not Dead? (Yes, This Again) · · Score: 1

    I was born in late 1989 and I played the hell out of Duke Nukem on the N64.

    In the same way that finding somebody that judges a person based on what cellphone they use is a nice way to know what type of person they are in advance?

    The Simpsons:
    At Itchy And Scratchy Land (pre-death-robot-rampage)

    Helicopter Pilot: "Welcome to Itchy And Scratchy Land, where nothing can possibl-y go wrong"
    *Family looks at each other*
    Helicopter Pilot: "POSSIBLY go wrong... sorry, that's the first thing that's ever gone wrong..."

    Supposed to be a hint as to what will happen later in the episode.

    There's a difference between saying "I wouldn't get a Mac because their library of games is practically non-existent" and saying "Macs are bad computers because their library of games is practically non-existent".

    I'd understand the first and recommend that people NOT get a Mac if they enjoy playing PC games.

    I'd assume as well as any other computer with a 2.16 Intel Core 2 Duo and 2MB of RAM but I can't be sure.

    I was quite impressed that with the latest version of Ubuntu the Airport wireless was usable without any workarounds. So far I haven't run into anything that hasn't worked actually, though I don't use it that often. Don't think I tested the bluetooth either.

    I mainly just use it as a learning experience, just finishing the first year of my Computing Science degree. Use Windows through VMWare Fusion to run a few programs like Borland Together Architect for UML. Everything else I stick with OS X.

    Following the guide on the Ubuntu website itself, I was able to install it on my MacBook alongside OS X plus use rEFIt to get a nice boot menu when I start up. There were a few specific points I wouldn't have been able to do without the guide but then I'm hardly a Linux professional.

    Other than that, it was pretty pain free. What problems were you having in particular?

    If being able to run games make it a

    substantially better user experience?

    then does my games console have a perfect user experience? It seems to do a better job of it than the PC I had before I bought my MacBook a few years ago too.
