Reading about all those MMORPGs reminds me of older times...
Can ya recall when "Interactive Movie" games were "in"? *shudder* Every single game company on earth seemingly tried to create a game that contained 50%+ pre-rendered scenes - most of them were simply horrible.
Same goes for the current "look ma, 3D graphics" trend...
Call me old-school, but I dont think that 3D graphics should be the core element of some games - Dune 3 comes to mind *brr*
Well, my point is - MMORPG will come and will go - I dont think that MMORPG is bad, there will be a couple of good games, along with a big bunch of bad ones, I just think we really should sit this one out, not go "wow, its MMORPG" crazy:)
I have to admit, Im not that much a Linux user.
But if there is one thing that comes to my mind if I hear KDE its "slow".
When I start it up on my Computer I better get a cup of coffee ^^;
Hopefuklly this version is a bit faster:)
and I was looking forward so much to be part of Brillant Digitals altnet:p
But humor aside - since the software and the side are owned by another company they will have to sue them too to completely shut down the KaZaA network, right?
My first try is always to massacre the component that is causing the ads - sometimes its just a nice.exe or.dll file that literally screams "delete me"...
If that doesnt help, I usually get pis... erm... agitated enough to add their adserver(s) to my hosts file (127.0.0.1:p)
And if it still doesnt behave I just block their ad IP(s) with my firewall - nothing more satifying to see all their ads die the ping timeout death:)
