Where as, Gaia is not FACT! unlike the THEORY of Evolution which is now FACT because some biologists decided it was so, and you wouldn't want to question Holy Darwin and his spawn on earth, Pope Dawkin!
DotA, HoN and LoL all suffer from very intolerant and LOLretardedLOLWTFKEKEKE communities that actually scare players away (and thus potential customers)
I suspect DotA2 will fail at fixing that.
There is a trend lately in medical circles and especially the media to blame every infection on viruses when in fact it seems to me (from experience)
that bacteria are much more troublesome.
I have no idea why this obsession with just viruses but the media (in particular) need to be reminded that bacteria (not even "superbugs", just plain "old" bacteria)
and even fungi are DEADLY too.
I am quite disgusted at the amount of money and effort that went into the H1N1 panic when these resources could have been put to better use
researching new antibiotics and phages.
Canonical seriously needs to reconsider their priorities... Before throwing in more useless "wizbang" perhaps they should stabilize packages, keep them more up to date and dont rush releases out every 6 months...
Perhaps there ought to be 2 massive versions: desktop and server. the packages are always updated to the latest builds and no more releases just 1 install and you can keep up to date forever no need to reinstall.
One of the last good reasons to use the internet is going away too now apparently...
Seriously, between no porn, no warez, no muzak, no vids, constant surveillance of users by big corporations and governments... why does any one still bother?
This debate is getting so frackin' boring.
There is no frackin' reason that both cannot coexist! NONE! except the narrow minds of either side.
Hawking and Dawking and others can go stick it where the sun dont shine and so can the pope.
I believe what I experience first hand and that is it and that is the way it should be for anyone sane.
As a graphics and audio processing C programmer I am interested in SIMD instructions but seriously do we really NEED yet another set of instructions for SIMD?
I am getting too old for this shit. (presumably)
They used a wrapper bought from another company so they wouldn't have to rewrite their code from DX9 to OpenGL for the OSX version. Unfortunately for them this wrapper is not available for linux...
They got raped by both Microsoft (for getting into DirectX in the first place) and the incompetent people who wrote the wrapper.
Apparently even for the OSX port they just purchased a third party's DX9 to OpenGL wrapper...
That's what happens when you write for a proprietary API in the first place... You have to either purchase some wrapper or rewrite a bunchload of code...
Honestly, Valve is shooting itself in the foot, they do not see that the upcoming generation of gamers will be more and more interested in "alternative" OSes as they value quality and privacy (especially when they snap out of the Facebook and Twitter dreamland), which are two things Linux delivers (unlike "mainstream" OSes)
Anyhow, Valve is going to lose customers over this, myself first, I would have paid for linux native games, and so far I was actually buying things from Steam even if I had to use Wine. Out of principle I will not even bother with Steam at all (on whatever platform). I'll donate my account to someone else possibly. I just dont have time to dick around with games that dont work natively on my OS, sorry Valve.
Valve's attitude is even more surprising when you take into account that to make the OSX port they had to strip all Windows specific code and rewrite big chunks of the Source engine to OpenGL.
I do not see what the big problem is with porting to linux now that the OpenGL/OSX port is done. Porting to linux would have also been great publicity for them as the "developer that supports alternatives", now
they are just yet another "developer of 3D games for proprietary OSes". Yawn...
I hope they get him and put him on the electric chair where he belongs.
How can a man rape and kill and rape a poor little girl? What if someone did this to his kids? Perhaps someone will do it to him in jail! I hope so!
What about all the other kids? I am sure he hides them in his basement...
People like this have a special place in hell for them.
I call bs.
I contact Valve many times about the Linux client, got no answer.
A company who ignores the community isn't going to win points with me.
PS: Because of lack of Linux support (which they promised) I'll put Valve/steam in the sh*t tier category now. (pity I was willing to buy even more from them provided a native client)
It is the ISPs problem if they can't deliver the bandwidth they promise their customers.
Their business is data transferings so if they should rejoices peoples use their pipes to transfer datas.
I pay 30€ a month for 15megs (actually more like 12megs in real life) with "up to 20 megs". That's alright my line is not good anyway to begin with but shall my ACTUAL bandwidth drop by a significant amount (during peak times), ill start
paying my ISP with an "up to" mind. 30€ = ~12megs, 20€ = 8megs, 10€ = ~4megs, 5€ = 2 megs, below 2 megs i refuse to pay and sue them.
Well you pointed out a major problem of our times, the multiplicity of radio signals. Enough is enough do we really need wireless TV when we have cable TV? Who still listens to radio? and so on and so forth...
I thought we had established a long time ago that dreams (and hallucinations induced by drugs or psychiatric problems) are in fact "noise" coming from the thalamus...

my point, roughly :)

I hate probiotics they make me fart like hell... And since i had sepsis I dont trust any microbes of any kind.
yes. if some scientists would man up and fix this it would be great. but can't count on it, governments have an interest in your death.

This would be contrary to net neutrality principles. Any ISP I hear doing that is going to get bad press very quickly.

You fail hard at knowing religions. Buddhists dont actually believe in a god as such. Buddha is NOT a god...

If you can't get it to run properly on that you have major software config issues, or your laptop overheats.
