As an aspiring game developer, I look at Valve's actions with a lot of excitement lately. Steam and Source are coming to Mac for sure now, and so that means Source SDK should be updated to support deployment to Macs. If Linux is included in this package, it only sweetens the deal. For developers just getting started, Source would have a unique advantage over the other engines available currently (e.g. Unreal, Crytek) in that it would allow developers to reach as wide an audience as possible. I really hope this happens.
I agree that there is most likely some other factor involved. Correlation does not equal causation in this case. That is to say, yes, people tend to reach their intellectual peak at 22, and start waning by 27. However, the reason for why it does this has not been touched upon at all at this point.
It could for example, have nothing to do with natural aging, but have everything to do with the fact that most people are out of college by then and working. If you're not exercising your mental muscles by constantly learning new things, of course you're going to get dumber.
I wonder if it's the exact same commercial they play on the radio here in LA. It's some guy speaking casually in a baritone voice. He says that there's good news and bad news, blah blah blah, sarcastically remarks on how the increasing gas prices are "more good news at the pump" and at the end, says the good news is, we get to vote on the bill.
I just remember upon my first time hearing it, the whole thing smacked of a phony ploy by oil companies to keep screwing us in the ass with a smile.
So I used to run Fedora Core testing, and I remember my frustration was not with actually Core and Extras being integrated (Core and Extras always worked like gang busters to me), but something else. I wanted to run software made to run on Fedora, packaged by others (i.e. livna.org), but there was a huge separation between Fedora's development process and livna's that made it impossible to run livna packages on the FC testing distribution.
So my follow-up question: Is this still an issue? If so, are there steps being made to simplify parallel development for external package developers?
I guess what I'm really trying to say is this: it is my opinion that while Fedora shouldn't necessarily provide the packages that violate its principles in terms of free software, etc., Fedora should assist the developers who do provide those packages to integrate their software as smoothly as Extras integrates with Core.
College students will smart up to this, too. They forget the whole reason we moved away from print, regular TV, and radio. At least for me, I did it TO GET AWAY from the advertisements that those mediums were just overloaded with. If I didn't buy in back then, why would I buy in now?
If anybody is using Firefox for Fedora Core 3, I made this RPM that incorporates this patch. It's based off the original Fedora Core 3 firefox SRPM. Let me know if you find this package that useful.
I was thinking about this just the other day. But I thought a simpler solution might be to just have a X server running on vnc, and then connect into that. The DirectX would probably be best, but at least this way is easy.
I talked to a friend who was actually one of the game designers for the new Goldeneye game. When I found out he had worked on it, I told him that the game looked pretty crappy and he told me the reason. Apparently, the producer of the game wasn't happy with the initial draft of the game's script... so he went home and rewrote it. by himself.
BOFHs writing games? Yeah right, I hope his ass was canned.
Check out the synaptics software drivers for X. They include ALPS glidepoint support and a kernel patch. The only reason I'm not using it is because I've been too lazy to compile my kernel for it.
The grandparent's explanation was a little lacking on details. What he meant was with a quantum computer, encryption which relies on the computational infeasibility of the factorization of large prime numbers multiplied together can be easily cracked. You can attempt every possible number in one iteration, thus finding the prime numbers that comprise the key and rendering the encryption useless.
I think it would be much simpler to google bomb torrent seraches than to sue google for listing torrents. It would be much more frustrating to file sharers, too.
What difference does a report like this really make? The people who don't believe in global warming as it is will only repeat their same excuses, and the people who do believe in global warming will offer a smug told you so. I personally believe something has to be done to curtail our fossil fuel usage (although I'm sure running out of it will certainly help in the future), but really, who will this report convince?
it's a free alternative reality game that further fleshes out the halo universe. some people, such as myself, are really into the scifi story of halo. i recommend the first halo book, the fall of reach, as a starting point after playing halo.
If so, then why bother? Alternative network stacks over gig-ethernet would be much cheaper and can reasonably competitive in terms of latency with well written code.
There was a dead project that I read about a few months ago that had 20microsecond latency over 100 ethernet. If anybody knows what I'm talking about, I would appreciate a refresher.
you're right.. i made a page that crashes AIM. when i first ran the page though, an error message pops up that says a buffer overrun was detected. does that mean that the code wouldn't have executed anyway?
has anybody thought that maybe the lava surfing will be done without some kind of surfboard?? Maybe it will involve floating on the lava (like Jesus!) using the force..

short (obvious) answer: apparently nerds like the Daily Show.
get with the program, Crossfire was a shitty show.
does it run GNU Hurd L4?
Obviously, if he didn't feel that it was the boss's fault for ruining the game, he would have been proud of it and disagreed with my assertion.
You are right. I don't know how the acronym slipped past me.

This isn't a matter of grammar, it's a matter of idiom. I think this would make the person complaining a linguistics nazi, not a grammar nazi.

Maybe you meant essenkial for KDE. Or perhaps, essential.
