Why? All the D00R's musicians are still alive. Jim never played a reproducable(sp?) instriment. I doubt they will ever be able to reproduce Jim's voice. It just would not be the same...
The reason why you think SQL7 is a memory hog is cuase it will use every drop of memory that is available on the machine, but it will release it if needed.
Dont flame me for this, I am no way a MS fan, I have just seen this for myself.
I live in Ewtahh, and have lived here for 30 years. Its not like that at all. Every saturday I throw a party and we all play Q3 and discuss Linux and OSS before we head out to Bricks (a club). How do you mean restrictive? We have a Department of Parks & Rec(liqour store), that keeps our bellies filled quite nice.
Is the Linux box software still in Beta? Like the Win2k box? For some reason when Free Software bugs come up on SlashDot, BETA or PRERELEASE is always the excuse. Just something to think about...
We have an Iridium phone, they say a global connection is possible, but we could not get it to work in China or Hong Kong without being 1 mile from any building or tree. They must have 10 sats above the US and 1 above the whole cont. of Asia. It works fine in the states. But who needs it in the states right? This tech has a while to go before I use it again.
They put that up there so all you would make total idiots of yourselves. Read them, you *nix guys are making idiots of yourselves by the immature posts.
I'm not asking for it for free, I am just dont like having to buy TWO (2) versions of the same game, if I wanna play it on Linux or Winblows! (same machine of course).
So you are saying buy a car the drives on freeways and a car that drives in the city. Ford needs to put food on the table.
I wish all game companies would release there software like this. Instead of hiring Loki. That way I PAY $$$ for the game, and can play it when I boot in Linux or Winblows. Instead of paying for 2 copies. Hint.. Hint.. Bungie and Microprose.
Ooops excuse me, money is the motivation here, sorry I forgot...:)
I bought the game for Win9x, will the Binaries be released so I can play it on Linux without haveing to buy ANOTHER copy? I would really like to play it now that I switched over to Linux. Or is Loki taking to rape route unlike id Software?
This story reminds of some Speed Controllers(Novak?) put into Radio Controlled Cars. When the juice was off, the speed controller would use the electric motor as a un-optimized generator and feed the spikes back into the battery. I think it gave like upto an extra 1 minute runtime on a 4 minute race pack. Every bit counts on that stuff.
As I recall back in my "Atari400 / BBS 300bps modem" days. A hacker was someone who hacked into systems via the modem. There even was a TV show about some kids that hacked. Anyone remember the movie War Games?
When did "hacker"'s meaning change to Kernal hacker OSS hacker? Did I miss something?

ps. not tryint to start a flame war or anything, just a need to be educated.

Even then it probably was not X's fault, it was probably faulty code in an app or wm.
Ritual Entertainment is making one based on Heavy Metal, and American McGee is making one based on Alice in Wonderland.
Alot of us run Multi-Boot systems, I find this method way better than getting raped by Loki for another $50, just to have it run on both OS's.
True, he used NT for Quake2, but I cannot say he is still using NT for Quake3?
He used to used NextStep for Quake1 dev, then graduated to NT. :)

What you just said defines Communism! Geeze, get out of here!
All people like you want is a free ride. Get real, and get to work!
He was great, and definalty will be missed.
The icon boxes take up WAY too much real estate.
Damn, I wish I could fix the broken window on my system that is letting SPAM in.

Why do you think Quake sucks? Becuase it's not GNU?

Future Crew, did have some killer demos, back in the early/mid 90's. Just killer demos!

Is there are any performance gains from compiling E (or any Linux app for that matter) on my machine, over downloading pre-compiled binaries?

oh, and BACK THEN a "cracker" was someone that "cracked" games and software, which had nothing to do with breaking into systems.
