Heh, shows how many people actually test the Mac release. I'm not involved in the development (they were all crazy germans last time I looked). I'm just curious why an otherwise good game is ignored by the linux community.
Tell me, what fps are you playing under linux right now? When you want to play an fps are you rebooting to windows or something? Or are you just completely missing the point of the debs/rpms part of the sig?
Roger Rabbit? How do you get that? Download it and have a go.. if you can't find a server with anyone on, just join an empty one, wait 10 minutes and someone will show up, play for 5 minutes and 4 other people will show up.. it's freakin' weird. It's a popular game but there isn't the critical mass needed to keep the servers full 24 hours a day.
Sony has millions of people playing their online games, just like Yahoo, you'd figure they'd see integration of VoIP into games at this point in the VoIP gold rush as a logical first step into the market.
Well it makes a lot more sense than trying to hold onto their 1970's business practice of hardware. Selling software is a license to print money. You don't have the burden of warranty claims or freight distribution. Thankfully Apple has their iPod business (for now, queue Microsoft patents).
Maybe we're all just laughing at Apple's stupidity at trying to protect their 3% market share instead of going for a bigger market share when they have the opportunity. Sure, it's great that they have the top 3% but it's still 3%.
They have keys that are 4 times as big as standard keyboard keys. Recommended for those suffering from Parkinson's. Also good for getting toddlers hooked on computers.
They telco will not be broken up into regional companies and forced to compete with one another. Of course the billions of dollars the government receives from the sale won't be going into my pocket or the pocket of any other Australians who have supported it through taxes all these many years. The money will most likely go into the national surplus where it will stay. This, apparently, has some positive effect on the reduction of interest rates. Which has been shown to be a major contributing factor to get the home owners of Australia to re-elect the current government.
You're incorrect. The mining of most of the rare metals on earth are done at the sites of meteor hits (the notable exception being gold). The earth simply doesn't have any of these resources naturally. Most of the material from these meteor hits has been eroded away. The moon, on the hand, is covered with craters which experience no erosion. If we set out now to obtain this material and bring it back to earth, yes, it would be prohibitively expensive. However, if we have a large volume of people visiting space every year, the cost of launching materials like water and oxygen from earth will become a dominating cost. At that point taking these resources from the moon will become economical when combined with the metal resources that can be extracted. Dennis Wingo spelt it all out in his book Moonrush, which was painstakingly researched and addressed all the different earth-lunar systems to acheive it.
So the fact that Linux Australia are paying him and have claimed him as their own means nothing. What exactly do we have to do to convince you that he's legit? Would an out of band communication help? Get off your ass, call Linux Australia and ask them. Jesus Christ. I hope Jeremy Malcolm sues you for libel. I really do.
Take a chill pill. He is legit. He's a lawyer. He's representing Linux Australia who are operating under instructions from the Linux Mark Institute who represent Linus. It's all perfectly above board. Lawyers will represent anyone who can pay. To form an opinion of a lawyer based on one case they did is naive to the extreme. If you want to see what Jeremy Malcolm is all about, go read what he has written or look at the other cases he has been involved in. He introduced the first anti-SPAM act in Australia. He actively opposed the US-Australia Free Trade Agreement. He's an advocate for privacy and common carrier protections.
On the other hand, your actions are bordering on libel and have already violated anti-vilification laws in this country.

Then my job isn't done. I just suckered you. Jeremy Malcolm's firm iLaw did represent the CoS. That's what lawyers do. They take any case that pays. The CoS can pay, so they took the case. Now they are repesenting Linus. Tomorrow they could be representing SCO or some nut who wants to sue Rockstar for making GTA:SA. The problem is that you assign the motives of his clients to him.
Yep, and they faked Jonathan Oxer's Blog and the press page of Linux Australia that links to the zdnet article above is also faked, and if you were to get off your ass and call them the guy answering the phone wouldn't really be from Linux Australia, he'd be a midget who does voice impersonations for the CIA. I said it before, I'll say it again, lay off the crack pipe.
Mahahahaha.. this has to be the best troll I've ever seen. To the idiots who modded this up, got to your preferences page right now and opt out of moderation, you're not fit to wield it.
and guess who the lawyers are representing. This article is the biggest troll ever to get posted on Slashdot. There's a FAQ for anyone who actually cares to learn what Linus is trying to acheive in Australia.
No, the best reason to go to the Moon is that there's resources on the Moon that are worth something on Earth and it's economical to return them. We go to Mars to take a society there, we go to the Moon to save our society here.
And how would that equate to nuclear annilation? It's funny that the fear of nuclear weapons has progressed from being a sensible fear of mutually assured destruction into an absolute irrational fear of nuclear power, space propulsion and "backpack" bombs. If some crazy muslim was to get ahold of a backpack nuke and sneak into central London to set it off you wouldn't see the annilation of London. You'd see an explosition that would take out maybe a full city block and dig a hole in the ground. There wouldn't be an automated "retaliatory strike" on Russia. The US wouldn't launch the thousands of nukes they have in bunkers scattered over Colorado. The world wouldn't end. It's just braindead to consider that terrorists could "spark a nuclear war".

Another person replying to my sig. Ok.
Tell me, what fps are you playing under linux right now? When you want to play an fps are you rebooting to windows or something? Or are you just completely missing the point of the debs/rpms part of the sig?
Thanks for the completely off topic reply.

Wow. So basically you're blaming me for your unethical behaviour. You don't slander someone just because you're too lazy to do 5 minutes research.

You must be new here. I posted three as many comments in the last poll.
