On: Expert Opinions On Linux Gaming's Future

hi.

Fun! This is exactly one of the subjects around the coffee table yesterday night.

Here (/.) I saw some complaints about scaleability and hardware support. I think it solves itself by having an OS-on-a-CD and allowing it to install. Think Knoppix or Mandrake10something.

If you can put a (online) game on the Mandrake10 then everyone with a Mandrake compatible computer can test it without the hassle of installation. Just put the CD in and voila! up and running!

Here's the truly (how the heck do you spell that?) cool thing: If the game is very good then it will help spread Linux. Insert the CD, press the power switch, play online. Rock. Copy the CD. Spread to friends to join. Save the world.

Then when there's hardware updates one just installes it and downloads a later version of the OS. Best of both worlds, sort of.

why scrap hubble?

hi.

>So, why exactly was it that NASA wanted to scrap the Hubble?

Because everyone wants to go to the history. And a president goes there by doing things that are big and expensive.

opera and xfree86

hi.
I too thought it just was a mistake until I read about an obvious hostile action against Opera.

hi.
I always use Notetab (or just any other editor). Anything else makes me work more with the layout than the contents.
