  10. Re:High redhat costs on Linux To Take Over Microsoft In Enterprises · · Score: 1

    Then get Centos. Essentially Red Hat, but without the support you have to pay for.

  19. conversation system on Fan-Developed Ultima VI Remake Released · · Score: 1

    I hope they retained Ultima 6's conversation system, which was completely "free-form" and did not limit you to a fixed set of lines. Would anybody happen to know about that? I haven't seen any other RPG since U6 that has a "free-form" conversation system; even U7, disappointingly, used preset conversation options.

  20. Re:A groundbreaking game on Fan-Developed Ultima VI Remake Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have many many fond memories playing U6 when i was about 10 years old. The game universe was so vast that i played it non-stop for almost 3 years. I always found new things to do in the game, new people to talk to and new things to talk to them about, new spells, new dungeons, everything. It was truly an engaging and enjoyable game with a depth that i find unmatched in more recent games.

  21. Re:Critics on Roger Ebert Backs Down On Video Games As Art · · Score: 4, Insightful

    As i like to say: Those who can, do. Those who can't, criticize.

    This calls for a new Borg icon with Ballmer's mug. Or at least a new one with both Gates' and Ballmer's faces.

  24. Re:Use PDF on Best Browser For Using Complex Web Applications? · · Score: 1

    The major Firefox printing bug i was talking about is old and well-known: if a floating div ends up getting split across a page boundary, Firefox doesn't print the rest of the div. I'm not sure if it was fixed in some version, but the latest 3.6.3 has it.

  25. Re:Well Hold on There on Frank Zappa's Influence On Linux and FOSS Development · · Score: 1

    It just seemed that the audio bus could not keep up when recording through my M-Audio USB input box

    USB adds a lot of latency when recording. Try a PCI-based card such as an M-audio Delta 1010LT or better yet an RME Hammerfall. The RME in particular is mentioned in the ardour docs.
