Yes, but the package would almost lead you to believe they had a team busting out a native binary version for linux..which isn't true, and it would be better if this point was better conveyed.
Well, I'm the % that does get laid, and having all the colors of the 'bo fluxuating while I'm getting my swerve on would be the shit. You just sound like a little angry kid that forgot to get his ritalin refilled.
Not quite. It probably has nothing to do with linux. The creators of the game probably did nothing more than avoid windows-specific coding techniques, making it workable under wine. Emulating in my opinion is stupid. With hard drives as cheap as they are, just dual boot the stupid computer and have a windows partition for games. Just more pointless complexity.."Women always seem to have trouble with the wall..can't ever seem to find the door."
For just basic home lighting scenarios, this would be really cool. Imagine your light switch now has 3 knobs, ones for red green and blue, plus an intensity switch. You could set up some nice mood lighting using rgb values. Maybe have it so you could save some values and call them when you wanted to. Would be a cool little toy to have.
What country is that? I'd punch you in the throat if you were standing in front of me. Don't compare the revolutionary war and those that fought in it to you sneaking at of your house at 4am to go fuck your fat girlfriend. They're two completely different things.
Rebeling is trite crap for children that can afford to not be part of the world. Adults don't that luxury. Provided your parents are complete fucking idiots and actually have good intentions for you, then my above statement still stands.
All these people that talk about "the man" and "your parents are just trying to control you" blah blah blah just make me laugh. The world, and society wont put up with that shit, so while I'm sure you're a high school student that eats cigarettes for lunch standing on the sidewalk across the street from your school spouting misquoten Sartre and convincing yourself you're going to be diffrent, you will soon have a rude awakening.
That kind of falls into what what I would tell myself:
"This is going to scare the shit out of you, and you'll probably think I'm the devil himself for telling you this, but EVERYTHING your parents ever tell you to do or not do is dead on the money. Your problems are not completely unique, and your parents have been there and know the easiest way out. ALWAYS take their advice. You've gotta make your own mistakes, but you can avoid the truly bibilical fuck ups if you just listen to your folks."
I can still remember the day this thought occured to me. I think I shuddered, fell out of my car, and went trembling into the fetal position.
I'm not going to lie. Yes. Yes I have. I also make it a point to tell the story of the indian boy "throwing rock" to anyone that will listen, whether they've heard it before or not.
Uh, post codes are a series of auditory beeps there chief.
And I don't know what you're booting up with, but nothing about my bios or hardware information reminds me in the LEAST of the Matrix. Do you drive through canyons with your folks on vacations and pretend you're flying in the canyons of the death star?
Homer: Oh, yeah, this is the life! Boy, next summer can you commit some fraud in Orlando, Florida? Bart: I'm way ahead of you, Dad. Conover: [walking in] Kno-ock! Simpsons, I'd like you to meet our ambassador, the honorable Avril Ward. Ward: Hello. Now, everything is all set for Bart's apology. Mr. Conover will meet you at the parliament house at three p.m. Questions? Bart: Yeah, do the toilets go backwards in here? Ward: No. To combat homesickness, we've installed a device that makes them swirl the correct American way. [he flushes the toilet] [it swirls one way, then a machine kicks in and makes it swirl the other way] Homer: [singing] Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing...[weeps]
Try to act like real gamers? What the fuck are you talking about? Oh, I get this, they're posers and you're straight atari 2600 OG playa, huh? I guarantee you they play more games that you and I combined + all our collective friends. That's ALL they do.
It is a comic strip. Gabe and Tycho have reiterated dozens of times they are NOT journalists. It is designed to give gamers and the like a good laugh. The Juicer comic is funny. If you read it thinking it didn't have the quite the journalistic merit that CNN does, then you completely missed the point, and more likely than not, you suffer from some advanced form of mental retardation.
This all leads back to the Columbine incident. We have high schools where the faculty, the community, and often even the parents raise kids that are told if they can't throw a football or tumble for the cheer squad, they aren't shit. Oh, you got an A in AP English? That's great, but Bobby here threw 300 yards in the last game. Oh, straight-A's this semester, did you here that your sister made the varsity squad?
Who gives a FUCK what sport you played in a high school. My education landed me a damn nice job, are you good enough to go pro football? Is suzy going to be a professional cheerleader? All this shit that makes the jocks/popular kids special in high school is over the second they get that diploma, where as my talents will support me throughout my life.
I have to argue that with you. I had a friend that swore up and down about the mines, and we set up a lan game where I was allowed 1 hour to mine the area. I literally had every square inch of my half of the map mined. Even if you knew where they were, you couldn't lead even a soldier through them. It was like honeycomb. He came at me with about 30-40 tanks..cleared a path..more came in to fill the ranks, and eventually he got through. Tanks were cheap. I still have no idea how to defend against a tank rush except for making steps to slow down their production. Once they're built, your dead. This also leads me to a point I forgot to mention earlier: it's not about how many tanks you have, it's about how many harvesters. I usually have 8-12 of them at any given time, and I constantly get the "build tiberium holders" type message. Money is key in that game.
As for C&C, here's the classic drop any MCV in one pass: nuke, 4 choppers to clean up. 4 choppers can still take it down even if being fired upon by a high-number of rockets.
The original C&C will always be the king in my book. It was easily the best test of true RTS know-how and has yet to be touched. The problem with most RTS is the formula for success is (all the units you have)+1. Red Alert was ATROCIOUS for this. It was 100% tank rush. With 30 tanks, no base in the world is defendable. At a lan once I actually mined half the damn map, and I still lost to a tank rush.
C&C was different. I used to make people insane when they'd have some 12 missle tower base entrance and I'd land a chinook in their base and start c4'ing everything. With good players, the general rule was "if they make your base, you're done". That's why in the original C&C EVERYONE played the Tiberium Gardens map, you could make choke points into your base.
All RTS's suck these days, and I wonder if I'll ever see another C&C caliber game. RTS's now are about how fast you can click the build unit button.

I got my win2k from an MCSE conference. I didn't buy it, but it was hardly pirated.

Nothing I ever need to buy has a picture of Jeff Gordon on it, so I suspect I would be fine.
The hell with content I say! This is Slashdot, we're all about sensationalist editorilizing!
You'd have to go inside a WalMart though. That alone makes it not really an option.

As for Columbine: Hey man, nice shot.
Yeah, it was a shame that Mr. Shatner wasn't his usual intelligent, witty self. Oh wait...
It's like saying Frakenstein wasn't as forthcoming as you would've liked.
Yeah, but you get REAL good REAL fast with that add-on.
