How about an iso of the source downloadable for free, but a fee of a few dollars / pounds / whatever to download the compiled distro? I'd be happy to pay $5 to download the latest version.
Kids are buying these games, devoting their lives to them, then killing themselves?
Where's the problem? Thats an unemployment solution right there folks!
I say, start putting subliminal messages in the games : "Kill the parents who neglected you, kill the people who rejected you as a friend, then kill yourself. Make sure you get your whole head in front of the shotgun - thanks for playing!"
If she wins, does it set a legal precedent? Can I sue/. for making me waste hours and hours of my life?
My first "3D" graphic card was the Voodoo2. For a while I resisted buying a dedicated 3D card, that was until I saw glQuake;)
I have tried the ATi Rage 128, Voodoo2/3,nVidia Geforce 2 and nVidia Geforce MX. Without exception, all these cards perform better under Linux than under Windows.
No, this is not a troll. I have got people to try linux after they have seen TacticalOps running on my slackware powered laptop:)
The best example of this was running Return To Castle Wolfenstein on my Geforce 2. It played OK under Win2K (latest DirectX, drivers etc.) - but I had to run it at 800x600 for it to be playable. Running the same binaries under Transgaming's WineX, I could bump it up to 1200x1024 and get a better framerate than under windows at 800x600!
The best supported cards I have owned have been the nVidia cards. Regular driver releases available for both Windows and Linux from their web site - I challenge you to find another gfx card supplier that does the same!
Ok, so part of the drivers are binary only. I say : so what? Nvidia are good at maintaining them, they know the card best and seem happy to support us, so why moan?
Now I'm waiting for my Geforce 4 Ti4600 to arrive...:)
Ive been using it today, its very nice. I wasnt a fan of KDE2, and at first glance this is just kde2 with bells and whistles. However, there are subtle changes and integrations that make it much nicer to work with on a daily basis.
Konquerer is a little buggy though (crashes every time i press the Back button)
Sorry, that came across wrong... I was pointing out that people can download the source for free, but they make money buy charging for support and binaries:P
What will this do to Transgaming? They will no longer be able to make changes and keep them to themselves - kind of seems like it destroys their business model.
Wrong, wrong, absolutely brimming over with wrongability;)
Transgaming's model is selling support and pre-packaged binaries. Anyone can go along and download the lastest CVS right now - without paying transgaming anything.
It seems to me like MS are doing this just to counteract the recent bad press they have got in the security area.
I have said it in the past, and I'll spew it backup now for those who missed it, MS do not make the best software - bu they do have the best marketing department and business sense.
Dude, where's my stability?

Yes, I know its highly off-topic, but far more interesting than another theoretical quantum story...

In the britney screenshot, the body looks real and the face looks fake... :D
heh, someone doesnt own an x-box yet, do they... ;)
Gnumeric had something like this.
I was running an old version, the one that comes with a default slackware 8.0 install.
On opening, it popped up an alert saying "This software is old, and has probably been updated by now! Check out gnumeric.org for an update."
No hassle, just a one-off friendly reminder.
Good idea, I thought.
This link is pretty good.
Let me get this right...

I thank you...
How the hell do I bookmark a page on the site, then?!? I cant bookmark a keyframe in a flash movie!
Like an asthmastic ant... with heavy shopping.
What's up with the new corel logo? It is just me... or does it look rather rude? logo
Hurrah, they've provided slakpacks!

Cant wait for the final release!
Ok, here's a way that should work...
/usr/local/wine_drive
/usr/local/wine_drive
/usr/local/wine_drive
create
chmod it 777 so everyone has access
install wine / transgaming's wine
for each user, create symlink ~/.wine ->
~/.transgaming - >
Hey presto, one central wine installation everyone uses.

...we should start helping out the guys at Transgaming - they're doing great work, and for me it was worth the $5 subscription :)
Well, the color of space, right, your average space color is, well, black.
And the color of a black hole, your average black hole color - they're black.
So how are you supposed to see them then??!
