That must've been a very shitty ball, or you were just unlucky. I have an Italian-made one that can't burst - the guaranteed worst case scenario is that it slowly deflates if punctured. I'm sitting on it for more than 3 years now, 12 hours a day on average. It's better for sitting in front of a computer than any chair I ever had.
A few days ago my friend couldn't register his friend on Skype because the second email field in the registration form persistently stayed disabled/greyed-out (tried it in every browser, on both Linux and Windows)...
That could also help a wider penetration into the desktop OS market, eventually.
That's in my post, which was posted just before yours. Yeah, it's not exactly shouting at the top of my voice "Year of the Linux Desktop", but it does suggest pretty much the same thing;)
Oh myyy, that's some very, very good news. All the other Linux devs Valve hired recently, as Phoronix reports, and now Slouken, the creator of SDL. Seems like Valve has already built itself quite a nice team of Linux game devs. I've waited for something like this to happen since the (sigh) unfortunate demise of Loki games... It seems at last the time has come for Linux to become a full-fledged gaming platform. That could also help a wider penetration into the desktop OS market, eventually.
I'm very glad Slouken landed this, it seems like a perfect position for someone like him. I felt really sad when he left Blizzard, as there were some between-the-lines indicators that he didn't leave it quite as consensually as it was reported... And then went on to that 38studios which infamously collapsed recently...
Well, I just wish the best of luck to Valve and their Linux team, and will be anxiously waiting too see what they'll come up with...
this is enlightening http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlrs2Vorw2Y
more music should be made in this manner, not the self-serving bullshit dominating the radio waves today...

Try living without google for a day. Because otherwise if they ever turn evil (whether or not they already are is open to debate), we're fucked.
