Here is an invention you might like to try: reading the articles you link to. If you had done that you would have seen that an American did not invent the automobile, and you would not be looking quite so stupid now.
DM6 is a little to big for 1-on-1's. DM4 is the premier dueling map IMO. DM2 being awesome for 2-on-2s as is DM6 I conceed.
The domination side is what makes Quake fun. One minute you're running the RL's and you're King of the World, next minute you're shit under your opponents shoe. It creates more tension than Counterstrike ever will.
The credit for the greatness of Quake is often shared between John Carmack (for his technical prowess) and John Romero (for his design skills). I, however, believe that the real genius behind Quake was American McGee. He made the two awesome maps (DM2 and DM4). Admittedly DM3 was Romero's creation.
IMO, Willits is a 'YES' man of the worst kind. He made DM1 (wtf?!) and the passable DM6 but is lauded like some sort of major contributor.
If you look at the following games that each of them made, Quake II for Carmack, Daikatana (stop laughing at the back!) for Romero and Alice for McGee, I think it is apparent who had the flair and imagination to push boundaries. Even though it was made within a corporate enviroment Alice was still refreshing and innovative (although not without flaws).
He's just started a new company and I await its creations with baited breath.

Of course your code didn't do anything as I expect the value of $¾ in perl6 will already be 0.75. At least you have the option to change it tho.

all opinions obviously, but I think more than enough to beat your challenge.
And don't try to argue that none of these are "products". That would imply that nothing without a price tag has any worth. If you really think that, then i hope you enjoy those hookers for the rest of your life.
You think that mandating to use cheaper software internally is not "an appropriate use of government"? Are you going to complain if a corporation dictates to it's departments that certain types of software aren't to be used internally?
Do you think government departments should be run with only competitive and not political motives?
1. Users numbers are irrelevent, _developer_ figures are what count.
2. The figure of 7000 OpenBSD users he bases all others numbers on is how many bought the last OpenBSD cd. I leeched an ISO and I'm sure many others did a ftp install.
3. He uses developer posts to extrapolate user numbers.
4. IHBT.
This is what I want to know too. There is no mention of what is being servered and by what software. If Serverbench is both the client and the server then they need to show why linux is the problem and not the Linux port of SB.
The guy is either a troll or a fuckwit. Either way the quality of any political discussion here has gone to shit over time. Uninformed cunters are bad enough, but when the moderators mod them up the point of no return from trash has clearly passed. If taco or rob or whofuckingever had made/. wait till you had clocked up 40 page views before you could mod then the standard may have stood up. As it is, fuck it, it's just truth free, biased, bigoted, elitist, self motivated bull shit.
The current karma whoring trend seems to be the 'stand back and say "actually the corporate fucks are right "'. Fortunately I won't be around for the next trend.
Screw you guys. I'm going to kuro, techcrat, and advog.
I could see hard drives coming with a base Linux installation on them and a cd to add stuff with. This could just be another stage on the manufacturing line. If you don't want it you just format the drive, but if you're a newbie it could be very useful.
Would boost the stock of any company who tried it I bet.

Actually, the sad but true answer to this question is that GLIBC 2.1 has a serious problem closing certain file and socket handles. We have seen nothing short of unexplainable anomalies related to the close() function in GLIBC 2.1.
Currently because of this, we're considering releasing a statically linked libc5 version until this has been brought under control in GLIBC. ==
Is this just a lame excuse or is there really a problem here? If so what is it and why has it not shown up before?
You don't understand. A server in this case is not a stand alone program (inetd). It is what you probably think of as a module (but is much more powerful).
The apps server is (i think) the part of the OS that handles any communication between any user space programs and the traditional OS functions.

Stop abusing your karma-bonus.
I agree. This is truly ridiculous.

Read the article. This covers govermental use only.

If post 34 is genuine then this whole thing is worthless. There are IO limitations with Linux but does this highlight them? Who knows.

That's what the UK did in WW2 against Germany. That's what the US did in the war of Independence.
They both did it because the principles of democracy and justice were important enough to risk.
Not risking a war because you might lose means half the time you just shrug your shoulders and say "Whatever, I don't really care anyway".
You appear to not have any principles that are important enough to fight for with your life. That is quite sad.
You only get to know what is above presidential if you have Presidential. NTK you see.

I know this is far too late but my question is quite simple. Do you play quake now the code is GPL'd?

Carmack likes the GUI enviroment, he didn't mention the compiler.
And AFAIK GCC is better than the MSVC one.
