Of course there will be OSS developers that get tired of donating huge chunks of their lives, but there will always be others who will step up and take their places.
Everyone is replacable (yeah, know, it sounds sad), but it's true (at least when it comes to OSS development).
If the code is out there, free, someone else can pick it up and continue where the last person left off.
And if no one does, then it either means that not enough people were interested in keeping the software alive/needed the software OR the software had implemented almost everything that people needed from that piece of software.
It's life, get used to it, and don't try to start flamewars.
I tried donating some hardware (only some U160 SCSI disks, but nevertheless). I emailed the coordinator for my country at that time (Sweden), no reply.
And as far as I can remember (although, don't take my word for it!), I emailed Theo as well. No reply, although that's more understandable;)
i have one of these beasts. they don't even state the weight on that page!
the "laptop" is around 7 kg (~14 lb) and the charger is around 1 kg (~2 lb), so when i travel with this beast i have to carry around 8 kg (~16 lb) with me!
IANACC (i'm not a c coder), BUT according to ftruncate it would seem that you can do just that
"However, sometimes it is necessary to reduce the size of a file. This can be done with the truncate and ftruncate functions. They were introduced in BSD Unix. ftruncate was later added to POSIX.1.
Some systems allow you to extend a file (creating holes) with these functions. This is useful when using memory-mapped I/O (see Memory-mapped I/O), where files are not automatically extended. However, it is not portable but must be implemented if mmap allows mapping of files (i.e., _POSIX_MAPPED_FILES is defined)."

what about a browser that "just works"?
i've used firefox but it just feels sluggish, even with the tuning programs (why is that even needed?)
Another engine that is open source (LGPL) and possibly a bit more mature than Irrlicht is Crystal Space 3D.
From the about us-blurb
"Crystal Space is a free (LGPL) and portable 3D Game Development Kit written in C++. It supports: true six degrees of freedom, colored lighting, lightmapped and stencil based lighting, shader support (CG, vertex programs, fragment programs,...), mipmapping, portals, mirrors, alpha transparency, reflective surfaces, 3D sprites (frame based or with skeletal animation using cal3d animation library), procedural textures, particle systems, halos, volumetric fog, scripting (using Python, Perl, Java, or potentially other languages), 16-bit and 32-bit display support, OpenGL, and software renderer, font support (also with freetype), hierarchical transformations, physics plugin based on ODE,... See the extensive list of features for more details."
if they want to generate traffic to a page where you can download a paper which might generate a sale, which takes place via phone and take weeks to complete?
if google switched over to CPA they'd lose a looooot of money
the position for your adwords ads is based on CTR (clickthroughrate (%), as in clicks divided by impressions * 100) and the price you're willing to pay

Is that $695 per hour RECORDED (ie sound that will be used) or is that per WORKED hour?
I can understand if it's per recorded hour, but $695 per worked hour?
.. that data being used in games like GTA.
You could visit every city they have mapped.
Yummy!
here!
Imagine getting Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and Pokemon series for free?
:)
Thanks for the orgasm
not much better, but some more screenshots available at gamespot
Yeah, of course he was very valuable to ShoreWall (and to OSS in general). And even when he's gone, his work is still very valuable.
And maybe my post came off sounding a bit 'harsh'.
My point/attack was more on the submitter, that it sounded like he was trying to start a flamewar/scare maneuver or something along those lines.
More like "Flameboy" or "Flamewar starter"?

as posted in the earlier PS3 article:
kill zone trailer, on the ps3, in-game/real-time apparently
it was also pointed out (by KDR_11k (778916)) that it's being argued if the trailer is pre-rendered or in-game here

wasn't Bonjour used to be called Rendevouz before?
or am i thinking about something else?

and it crashes
and just feels like.. a beta
Geeks will spend hours messing with GSpot
I guess that's the best thing you can play with if you can't play with a girls g-spot
.. even have to point out that this is a dupe?
in theory you'd think that the browsers the editors use would mark this url as visited (ie dark green or whatever it is), and they'd notice this
not their best work?
you must be new here
this IS as good as it gets around here!
judging from the filename, it looks like those demos are for version 1.4
according to the article they were demoing version 2 at GDC
what about that thing people keep talking about called "fun"?
:wq (bottom of the page)
i had this problem
since upgrading to trillian 3 the problem has vanished
have you tried trillian _3_?
you know the end of this story, don't you?
the amiga, of course!
dead it might be, but it was still a beatiful design!
