This at all, but there are many, many desperate children that feel so hopeless and lonely right now in some orphanage, that really do need someones love. I hope more people give thought to that, rather than the ever over-population of our Mother Earth.
Antarctica?!? Jeepers H Snowballs...guess you don't have to worry about the Servers overheating eh. Interestingly enough, Antarctica has about 5,000 people living there. Yeah it's a tragedy, I'd like to say that I hope they are found; but after all this time I fear the worst.
News Flash: The Ouya now has several emulators for all your emulating needs. Everything from Mame, PS1, N64 and even those old x86 DOS Games!. So plug in that USB Drive and let's light this fire!.
Incidentally, I was reading through my twitter and some devs were chatting about how people shouldn't lock themselves into Microsoft's proprietary formats. Because when Microsoft or that particular program goes, you're pretty much screwed. Netflix putting all it's Eggs in the Microsoft basket is just asking for failure.
I honestly don't understand the blog post, I'm not severely limited in any way. I somehow feel the user doesn't even know how to compile software and doesn't know anything about Open Source. It doesn't matter if the binary is the same, maybe his is compiled with different flags than mine or maybe I added a patch.
This honestly smells of someone out to discourage usage of Open Source.
I can vouch for this, when I changed my FB feed over to a Linux news feed; I lost about 1000 of my 3000 friends. So now I supplement with some nice Pictures I take when I'm in Photography mode. I've learned not to worry about it, if they want to leave it's their loss. It's not like I know any of them on a personal level anyway. =p
Thanks for that link. With PRISM and all that Spying, I don't understand why people are still putting their trust in Windows, It doesn't seem logical at all.
I don't get it either, I'm very happy with my AMD CPU purchase and that extra hundred or so dollars I saved was put to better uses. Of course I use Linux, that's an instant speed boost I didn't have to pay for.
I always go with what's cheaper and performs reasonably well. AMD has continuously fit that bill well. People gave Bulldozer a hard time, yet benchmark after benchmark shows that it was a Multi-threading beast. I guess if you use Windows 8, you only need Single-threaded power, Intel's for you.
Communism in it's purist form as visioned by Karl Marx has never been implemented; he never really explained it either. But the way I read it, everyone would be equal; no rich, no poor and we all share things -- kind of like Open Source. It's actually not a bad thing if you like the Star Trek way of working not for money, but to better Humanity. It goes back to our Cave Man roots in a way.
But society has beat it into all of your heads that it's evil and wrong, which in the way the Soviet Union had implemented it -- It is. But like I said, it's never been implemented in it's true form and the Rich and Poor are too dug in to ever enact it. It's unfortunate because I wouldn't mind being truly equal and working to better ourselves instead of money.
Explain 'Just Work'. When I used Windows I had to Install drivers, sometimes hunting them down on various Manufacturers Websites. When I switched to Xubuntu, everything I plug in 'Just Works' as you say. So I guess we know which one of us has never used Linux. As far as Critical Mass, when most people shop for a PC they go to a Local Store, can you guess what NSA-Spyware ridden OS is on those PCs?.
I had zero issues switching all my family and friends over to Xubuntu (22-62 in age), since most of them are just browsing Facebook and such, like most people do, It wasn't an issue. In fact they didn't even notice anything except a speed increase by their own admission. The issue isn't adoption, it's lack of choice and lack of people knowing basic Computing skills.
Of course it wasn't all peachy, with some of the 20 year olds they had certain Games they wanted to play. I spent time and either got them working in Wine, or found perfectly acceptable replacements for them. You'd actually be surprised how out-of-date the WineDB is and how many of those 'Garbage' Games work now with Wine 1.5 and it's only getting better. You'll probably reply about Terminals -- yet the only time in almost a year that I have ever used a Terminal was a sudo apt-get update just to watch all the words fly by, there is a GUI App for everything now. But whatever, you don't care and probably think I'm full of it. If somebody can't use Linux these days, they have other issues besides Linux.
If you put it in an ASUS Mobo, in the UEFI there are 3 buttons: Power Saving, Normal and Performance; Performance being the 'Turbo' mode. I accidentally had mine in Turbo mode when I assembled my Computer, then dropped it back to normal once I knew what was going on; it was a noticeable difference. By the way, it auto-overclocks to the Turbo mode, requiring you to only turn on Performance mode.
Truth is, his sacrifice will be wasted and what he did will be forgotten -- in two weeks. You have to realize by now, if it's not directly punching an American in the face; the majority just don't care. To them, it's an interesting topic to discuss during a Lunch break; in between "How much did your phone cost" and "Are you watching the game this weekend". Sadly.
Oops. I mean, sudo apt-get install gnome-panel. I'm sorry, wish we had a few minutes to edit our posts. But yeah, you can find it in the Software Center and have the 'old' Gnome UI. =)
I personally use Xubuntu which includes XFCE. You can actually make XFCE look like the old Gnome 2x with a few tweaks, and XFCE is based on GTK2x like the old Gnome, so there would be no need to install any Gnome dependencies. And you can move the bars anywhere you like, or delete them.
Magic, sudo apt-get gnome-panel. You can then select it at your Login screen. You can use a Search Engine to get more info about 12.04 ans gnome-panel if you're not sure about all of it. If you're not comfortable with the terminal, you can find it in the Software Center also.
Don't you just love change for the sake of change?. Incidentally, can any of you fine/.ers point me in the direction of some Firefox forks so I can be prepared when they force this change on everyone?. I'm not a slave last time I checked, I hate being forced for silly reasons; especially reasons that are the result of jealousy of other browsers.
If they do this, you might as well just use Chromium or Chrome, it would be a whole lot faster at least.
Tell that to the millions playing games on their Android phone. Young people are the future consumers, and young people are not buying Microsoft products or PCs.
Last I heard, they said it really wouldn't have much of anything to do with the WoW story as it is now. In the same sense the new Total Recall didn't take place on the Mars. I think it went along the lines that an Alliance Hero was the star of the movie, of course that was some time ago.
It results in games like Legends of Aethereus. It's only limitation is that of the Artist, you sir are trolling. It should be noted also this Engine is constantly evolving and adding NEW things for the foreseeable future.
Exactly. Don't make any plans for Surgery, Tech Support etc on Monday's or Friday's. On Monday's, most people are recovering from hangovers and parties and on Friday's everybody is in a rush for the weekend. There is definitely some truth in all of this, even from my own personal experiences.
Totally true, I've always wondered about this myself. It should also be noted they use WINE quite a bit, so in supporting ReactOS, you would also be supporting WINE because they give back to the WINE community. Which reminds me, while I have been submitting App reports to the WINE Project, I still have a closet full of Games I need to get busy testing and making reports on. =)
If about thirty of you Linux devs would join in part-time, I bet they (ReactOS) could get just a little closer to their Goal; if you have some spare time of course.;)
The same way people swore up and down that Guild Wars 2 would be the WoW killer?. Instead they turned it into a P2W Game and now people have just given up on the MMO Genre. If anything, 'Titan' will be a 'buy once, play for free' game with a shop; like GW2. Blizz has already mentioned the F2P model in their future plans. To be quite honest, I can't see a success for Titan in the way WoW was. The best days for an MMO are gone, the market is too saturated.
Blizzard does/did make great Games, and I have much respect that they want to get it right and not throw it out the door unfinished. Me and my brother bought D3, I played for a few days and he played for about a week before realizing the huge role the Cash Shop played in advancing. It rendered the game unplayable and not fun for us. Thankfully Blizz admitted the Cash Shop was a bad idea, that doesn't mean we'll never see it again.
