I agree with you on the first three.. i would like to point out that Neverwinter Nights is already being made available for linux (hell it may even be available for BeOS). I also like the idea of having the theif games. I like everyone else though I really would like to see Half-Life. Hey.. if we get that list all ironed out then I can get rid of that waste of a gig of space that I call winblows.
..how much bandwidth does "educational material" require? If all I needed was educational material I would not have a cable modem. People don't buy broadband because they are having problems with getting to www.whitehouse.gov. They get broadband because they are having problems getting to www.whitehouse.com (i'm assuming everyone knows the difference between those two links). What I'm trying to say here is "What the HELL are you going to use 3MBps on educational material for?" Let people have their bandwidth. Leave us the hell alone.
Next thing you know they will require using Microsoft on your dorm computers! Dammit. Just leave us alone! They are running out of people killing each other so now they have to nitpick ever fscking thing. Maybe if more people started killing each other they'd remember that downloading mp3s is harmless. DAMNIT!!
You're right.. i phrased it badly.. i was in a flurry of hatred for humanity when i wrote it. I meant screw those people who are unwilling to learn or even try for that matter. I don't hate those who can't figure it out (hell that is me most of the time). I hate those who think that they don't need to know anything and that everything should work for them anyway. I'm a lot more tolerent than I sound. Just not tolerent of the lazy.
My god! Registry?!? AOL!?! MSN!!!!! My god! You think installing Windows 98 qualifies you as technically inclined? Who cares if Linux is targeted at rocket scientists? We don't want retards who don't know what a mouse is trying to use linux. As for your industry experts, tell them to pick up a book and learn something. I do get you wrong. Linux is already more stable than windows, and ease of use is purely based on your intelligence. We refuse to cater to the stupid! We cater to ourselves. If linux ever ends up like AOL I will start shooting the programmers. You are right.. screw the customer if he cant figure it out. We provide enough information to the customer to kill a large herd of blue whales, if, in all that information, he/she can't figure it out, then screw him/her. We don't brake for idiots who refuse to take the time to learn! Take your free advise and cram it in your windows box.
Everybody knows about the response time of different people.. I mean.. look how long it took microsoft to fix that one piece of really buggy software that they released... you know.. windows? It doesn't suprise me that Unix is right where it is. Hell this whole this is the most unsuprising thing I've ever seen! Do not mess with the chupacabra, lest ye be sucked.
Maybe now, people who don't know what they are doing will stay off of computers. Maybe those of us in tech support will stop having to deal with the shallow of the gene pool (and maybe we lose jobs). Maybe people will see this as a reason to get educated about computers before using them. Maybe monkeys will fly out of my ass. This isn't going to change anything for one reason. People are lazy. As long as they can sit on their asses and pump cash into things that they want they will do it. Maybe if we hijack their computers......
Hey... i'm not that shallow. He is a great man. I just think it's quite interesting to know what the truely intelligent of us use. I'm not judging him by what he uses. I'm judging myself by what he uses. So screw you two and don't assume (ass of you and me you know)
As die-hard evil dead fan I cannot wait for this to come out! I love bruce. Whether as a beaten and bloody ash, or as smart and witty Atolicus, King of Theives, he is just so smooth! Now he gets to be everybody's friendly neighborhood spiderman! Can you just see him as the wall crawler? AHHHHHH!! Oh yeah.. Sam Remi is pretty cool too. Love you Bruce. Love you Sam!
I've yet to see a decently priced system for those of us who are gamers (lowest priced "gaming" system being around $2000). Any chance you'll have such a system in the near future?
Why are we so worried about streaming right now? I would be more interested is seeing some good high quality video playback on Linux before I would worry about streaming. Don't you think that if we actually get a mpg/avi/mov/anythingelseimissed player that streaming will logically follow? Before we worry about the milk, lets get a cow (yes i know that was the worst analogy i could have possibly come up with) Let's get our priorities straight here people.
I too was a tetris junkie. Nothing I liked better than starting at level 9 hight 5 and then finishing that off and seeing that Huge frikin rocket take off. All I ever got on the progressive game (the one where you could go forever) was the dinky little rocket, of course I didn't spend a whole lot of time on that one. I would be more that happy to get addicted to tetris again if I knew that the gameboy could play mp3s as well. However there can't be a whole lot said for the quality of the speaker in the gameboy (8-bit sound anyone?). I don't know that I would be worth the effort to get mp3s to play on a piece of crap speaker.. although i suppose you could hook up headphones to that thing and get some pretty jammin toons. If anyone ever gets ahold of this they will have to tell everyone how well it works.
About a year ago a friend of mine really suprised the hell out of me. He had set up a fully working system that hung on the wall!?! There was no case whatsoever. I was just a bunch of cards and wires and drives all hanging on the wall. It was great! I thought to myself "you know.. some day this will be useful. So if you want to keep your system ultra cool.. leave it out of the box and point some fans at it! Who needs a box... get a computer on the wall. Be cool. Have a cool computer. Be the first on your block to collect all ten! Who needs a box? Not me!.. look out for dust though.

I am the proud owner of both a TNT2 card (agp) and a voodoo3 2000 (pci). I use both of the cards and thanks to the fact that 3dfx has spent time and effort to have their video card work (and work well i might add) with linux, that is the main card that I use in my system. For my money, NVidia makes a better product (the GeForce rules all), but again does not have proper support for their product. So until I can get great (not mediocre) drivers for my TNT2 for linux, I will continue to support companies (3dfx) who do. And 3dfx makes a pretty decent product to boot.
Those little buggers could probably kick the crap out of some of those little AIDS bastards. Or what about infections in general? Can you imagine how creepy it would be to have your white blood cells replaced by nanobots? That'd be creepy huh? What if you had the nanobots play around with your telemirs? Then we would all live forever huh? Cool or what? Surgery would be a snap.. that's for sure. That really is a long way off though
Hopefully this will motivate them to get v4 out ahead of time... like as early as... this morning perhaps? Not to rush them or anything (dri, dri, dri, dri, dri, dri wheeeeeeeeee!) Keep up the good work guys! ~Jester
It's nice to know that with all the important things in life to talk about, Marylin Monroe still gets a word or two. It's good that we remember the important things in life.. legs and whatnot. Jester
I love the fact that we have so much choice. I mean isnt' that what linux is all about? Choice? Come on. Let people make whatever the hell they want. It's just a lot of encouragement for the rest of the people to make better stuff. Oh.. and love the quote of the guy above this post (the state ruled).
