My problem is he's playing too much of a moderate. He's not pissing off everyone enough. Of course, Bush did exactly that--pissing off everyone--and I will continue to spite him.
Hmm, it's probably a good thing I'm not president.
It's not that I necessarily agree or disagree with your sentiment, but there really needs to be a "+1 Yet I disagree."
It would make modding so much more fun and interesting.
When it comes to games, I just don't care that much if they're not FOSS. I only care if it's supported under Linux--and not through Wine.
I consider games far more to be artwork than just software.
That said, I am a big fan of the id/John Carmack style of releasing source code after a game is no longer commercially viable, and I do wish more companies would do the same.

Yeah, I was warned about her. A lot of other guys said she was bad in bed, but I didn't believe them.
Well, maybe he's referring to First Post 2099 where Post was killed by his evil twin psot.
If something transitions from one medium to another, whether it's from novels to movies, from movies to games, etc, it doesn't matter.
If it's faithful to the original, I will disdain the transition for being unoriginal.
If it tries to be original, I will blame it for straying from the source material.
*sigh*
I guess I'm really just an awful person when it comes to these things.
I have a desktop machine with nVidia, and a laptop with Intel. The nVidia drivers are definitely less stable in my experience.
Sure, just like Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have a Dream" speech really just boils down to, "Minorities should have equal rights."
That was the point, and exactly what she expected, but that's not what happened.
Copyright laws do distinguish between the work, and the performance thereof.
I'm pretty sure mirrordot has not been updated in years.
That just sounded really poetic to me for some reason.
Serious or not, it still begs the question of the validity of EULAs.
Yup.
Games, however, aren't exactly essential qualities of an OS or even to life.
They're more like artwork, and I am quite willing to pay for good art.

Which is exactly why we need to be upset. Allowing this kind of misuse will dilute the meaning, and eventually make the phrase meaningless.
I'm with you there. I want to listen to my music for weeks without having to plug it in at all, especially if I'm camping.
I could definitely foresee this being used in game systems, especially for graphics.
As long as it mostly looks right, that's all that really matters.
The OpenMoko uses USB charging, and it works pretty well.
If it's connected to a host, it can draw up to 500 mAh. If it's connected to a wall outlet, it can draw 1000 mAh through the USB connector.

Do you really think that all boxes want to be cut open?
Just wait. Some day, you'll encounter a box that refuses to open without a fight, and you'll wish you had that box cutter.
Elika must be fucking pissed. I wouldn't blame her if she wants to stab the Prince with his own sword.
I wanted to be with you on all of that, except that you had to invoke religion. Can't rational arguments be made without it?
I definitely don't like Palin, and yes, I voted for Obama, but I hope for her sake, and her families' sake that those charges aren't true.
I don't feel like being a sore winner, and beating up on them just for the sake of doing so.
Well, apparently Natalie Portman submitted a patch for the Hot tub to handle grits.
Didn't we do an Ask Slashdot interview about this a while back?
E17 (i.e. Enlightenment) has been promising a lot of this kind of thing for a while now. Of course, the Hurd, and DNF also promise a lot as well...
The best text book I had to read in college was, "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable." I don't remember what that one was about though...
