On the other hand, I know many people who want to use Debian for that same flexibility later on (apt-getting packages at a later stage) but have problems with the initial install and getting the right set of starter packages on the machine.
It's exactly my problem at the moment. I want to install Debian to put up a web/mail server for my family. I could install a mandrake distro without a problem, but I have a feel of insecurity (possibly false but i have it). I prefer Debian, because I need my hands dirty in config files and then I feel a little bit more secure (if there is a lot of chance that I have make a big hole in my security:)). There is TaskSel, but his granularity is too big, and Dselect on the other hand is too fine... I really need something in between to LOVE Debian... For example: I have never get Gnome running correctly using Dselect:(.
I have another one, not so good as yours, but... Here in Belgium, we are going to pay near 20% more on blank CD with a tax for the artists... I buy loads of CD for backup purposes (I do some photo scanning and home video editing for me, my family and some friends, but not professionnaly). Actually I burn near 500 CD a Year.
Actually I restrain me from copying CD if I have not the intent to buy it in the 2 month time slice, this is because I buy a lot of music from band who their disk are hard to impossible to find in CD shop. But with this tax on my blank CD, well, I think my moral barreer (for the 5 top labels, not the indy labels) will drop to the floor.
The world needs companies that sell high quality products with good support, that work right out of the box, and are well maintained. Oh wait, there already is such a company. [apple.com]
Well, try to get some maintenance for my old Apple ][. They say "F**K OFF" with better word, but to say the same...
It is based on the fact that old 3D engines where CPU intensives, then need more complexity to reduce the needed calculation power. Now as the video card does a good chunk of the work, we can reduce the complexity and let do the hard work by the video card...
Just a little comment. What you say is true. But now do the math and sum up all the component needed to build your computer. Now look at the price for the same computer already mounted with the same parts AND Windows... TADA !!! Your hand mounted computer cost more than the mounted one with Windows...:(( I prefer to pay a tax to Bill and buy my computer for less money and throw Windows in the garbage than buying it piece by piece and mount it myself:((
With GLP, you just need to open your source code of your game, but can sell what make your game what it is (texture, models, maps, scripted parts...). See Id Software with is Quake source, they say, "OK, my source is GLP, but if you whant play Quake from theses sources you need to buy the CD for the ressources who are not GPL...". An other example is Radeon Labs, who create a new game called Nomads based on The Nebula Device Game Engine who is open source.
And just one thing don't use NetImmerse ! I am a Dark Age of Camelot addict player, and I can't play more than 3 hour in a row due to memory leaks. Actually I quit the game every 2 hours to get back some fluidity in the 3D Engine...

That's a long time that pirates come to the rescue of legimate game owners. I loved to play Baldur's Gates, but from playing it a little too much;) I have scratched the surface of the CD:( After contacting the distributor, sending 5 english pounds, waiting 3 month to receive my scratched CD back. I started to search to find some second hand disks. Now, for my most frequent used games, I use a backup of the CD(s) (The sims, Baldur's gates...). But to play with these backup I need Pirates for patching them or cracking the protection:) And for the best these backup CD are as often as possible with the latest patchs, then no more double work to install the game, patch, patch, patch and play. Just install and play:)
I understand that's booting and not rebooting that technology promise to get rid of. But how did you do hardware reset, IRQ/DMA peripherical association without a boot sequence? How the CPU state is stored to go back where you have been before shut down (as CPU registers are not stored in main memory)? Did you need special OS to detect this kind of memory and work with it?
Not just the bandwidth, I am taking example on some P2P system, you could have 15 host with the file you whant to download but none of them reachable on the time you whant download the needed part of the file. Some 5MB file take 12h to download because some part are unaccessible or not available at the time... I don't try to imagine this Kernel32.dll part is blocked on some other computer and hang mine;)
How charge? Make a good paper documentation. I really love those old good paper documentation. Less paper a product have, more chance is that I don't like this product. I find largely more readable some paper than the better monitor available.
Plain bold wrong, people see comercials on TV. If Coca cola stop commercial for one week, their sales drop of 10% (at least here in Belgium). My wife buy some products only on comercial seen on TV. But banners is someting else:
- first pop up banners. They make me crazy to the point i don't go back the the web site for a long time.
- Intersicials banner. I rarely see the next page of the article except if it is a very good one from the start (rarely true).
- Flash, Gif, Jpg banners. They can flash as much as they want, i am trained to not see them.
I think that before doing some lobbying, we need to continue to develop and change all of thoses Beta in stable V1.0. Then some lobbying could be done. Don't put the car before the horses...
Research has started as a public research for the good of everybody, everything public researcher discovered was made public. Now, we can see a trend that some public founded researchs get screwed because of some ridiculous patents or laws. Did you try to make some clear ruling about that with your case against the SDMI? What are your hopes about the results?
Every time I start TuxRacer I have the main menu, but when i try to start a game i have a black screen and no more control of my keyboard. I just could push 8 seconds on the big red button of my tower:(((
(no, no, i can't kill it from another comp has i never run telnet)
I would like to add to Raunchola reply, that you need to show some respect to your teachers. And listen his lesson is showing some kind of respect to him. Clicking, chatting, surfing during his lesson is showing disregard to his work.
Yes, college is a service. But there is some respect you need to have to the teacher that try to learn you something. And one part of this respect is to ear what he have to say. Classroom is not a place where you chat, write your mail and see porn. Classroom is a place where you learn.
ReiserFS is in Suse 7.0 with a 2.2.16 kernel (not sure, i don't remember). You can't set it up in the/boot partition but all others. I don't have any problem with ReiserFS on my / partition to now. The point is if they put it in the 7.0 version with a 2.2 kernel, I don't see any reason to not put it in the next version with a 2.4 kernel.
Simply because if you want to make the best score on a game you have to play more than 1 time to find the best route thru it. Try do it with, let's say, Final Fantasy VIII. FF8 take me about 100h of gamming to finish it (I am not the best player on earth;-)). This guy have played more an undred time to his game to acheive his perfect score. Could you manage to play an undred time to FF8 to get the fastest route thru it and gain all bonus ?

Archo is SCMS compliant (link), from our friend of the riaa (link)

Could you derivate like the CDDB project database (Free -> Pay) ? Have you some legal lock against this happening ?
