I'm still a relative Linux newb, but I have tried several distros and found Mandrake to be by far the easiest to use. It has the highest "just works" factor of any I've tried. I wish 8.2 had KDE 3 tho. That is one fine desktop.
There are 2 ways to approach video game development, in my 20-years-of-viedo-game-playing opinion...
1: Go for ultra-realism (Probably feasable now, but not cost-effective)
2: Go for entertainment value (Has been feasable for the entire length of video game history)
One of the most realistic video game experiences I've encountered in my 30 year life is the Day of Defeat mod for Half-Life. It is a great, great game, but when I'm playing it I don't feel as if I *actually am* storming the fronts or defendning Deutchland's interests in WW2, but I do have to admit I feel the nostalgic "sense" of the time and battles. I believe from experience that as technology continues to follow Moore's Law that the arena of video games will continually offer more and more realistic experiences, but until I truly believe that I am actually driving a tank or shooting down Nazi swine or whatever, I would say that the best games will be because they are fun to play and not because they offer "ultra-realism".
Well I got a certification of Jewellry Technology but became a Rural Mail Carrier but I'm going to night school to get CCNA certification so I can stop being a mailman.
January 3, 2002 -- True to its post-9/11 government-sanctioned role as US war propaganda headquarters, Hollywood has released "Black Hawk Down," a fictionalized account of the tragic 1993 US raid in Somalia
You think they wrote, shot and released this movie in 4 months? That has to be some kind of record.
...sell TBS Night Trax into syndication so that VH-1 Classic could run it nonstop, as originally aired, with some of the old commercials thrown in too. Then I would be happy.
Thats exactly the kind of browbeating I get when I have a simple question. And nothing is the job of IRC, that is just a medium in which to meet up. And SUPERFLOUS CAPS are annoying.
I am a Linux newb and every time I go to #linux on Dalnet or similar IRC hangouts, I am confronted with "You aren't good enough to use Linux" elitists. They do nothing but hinder the spread of free OS's and apps.

My Dell Dimension came with a Geforce2 card. I can rip it out as soon as I want to.

So since it is GPL'd, does that mean that anyone can put it on a cdrom and sell it ala Linux distros? Or is it only to be used if it remains free?
I find most European laws like this to be overly invasive, but I'm with you on this one. And that goes for telemarketers and junk snail mail too.
