Apparently you don't, as anybody who's anybody knows about Slipstreaming, or just plain having the latest patches on a CD instead of getting them while you're vulnerable to the problems they fix.

In my experience python on Windows with WxWidgets works rather dreadfully. 100% CPU with large amounts of RAM required. Sometimes it had trouble with locking up. All of these issues may have been resolved as I haven't really checked, but they were never fixed in the apps I tried to use. The issues were also evident in a large number of users, so my setup was not to blame.
There are two problems with this post. The first being that is anonymous, which shows cowardice. Perhaps this is because a vital piece of information is incorrect? Microsoft had no real trouble putting Windows in AMD64, but getting all the driver venders to support it is taking a long time. For Linux where all the included drivers likely have source or are set to run in 32bit mode this is fine. However, would you want your drivers to drop back to 32bit? Probably not... Which is a likely reason why MS has not let Windows XP 64bit Edition loose.
You clearly overlooked Half-Life 2, WarCraft 3, DOOM 3, World Of Warcraft, EverQuest 2, etc. Not to mention that games that are on PC & Console are often better on PC because they often have more RAM/Vid Card Power/Hard Drives. Consoles are good for console games, but not every game is good on a console.
Battle.net is still owned and operated by Blizzard and has been for many years. Most of the people who wanted to play on Bnetd either cheat or pirate. The people who actually did buy the game agreed to play by Blizzard's terms for online play. Note that bnetd is not needed for LAN or offline play.
Then you call up Valve and they will issue you a new key after you prove to them you actually bought the game and haven't sold it to some kid down the street.
It can detract from the gameplay. Expecially if the game decides to crash right after you enter that area. This happened to me a couple times, at the same exact spot. It was quite aggrivating. Then there was the time the game forgot to load part of the level, and the menus were messed up so I couldn't save and reload.
In Windows you can use WinAmp to play music at the same time as playing CS and use the joystick plugin to control WinAmp.... So in other words, yes you can.
MIDI would be the devil. Unless you mean high class midi, in which case you need sound fonts for it as well. No, I think he's better off keeping his music the way it is.
I just wanted to say that a game server and a game are completely unrelated when it comes to porting games. A game server is a very easy thing to have on multiple platforms, but a game is not. The other thing I wanted to point out is that the PS2 just doesn't have the RAM to make some games fun. If Halo had been on the PS2, then you'd need to stop and load alot and the textures would be horrific. Halo on XBox cached a bunch of stuff to the hard drive, because it was a standard piece of the machine. The hard drive on the PS2 is very limited in exposure comparitively.
One of the things I really hated was that they made you do platformer style jumps but you can't see where you're jumping. This makes every jump a leap of faith. Mario 64 was third person, so it can be easier to see where you are jumping to. 2D Metroid games allow you to do jumping puzzles because you see where they are. All in all, I think it would have been much better to have made a game that plays in 2D with 3D models and such.

Linux has trolls? Who knew? Has anybody told Linus?
And by fact you mean fallacy?
Epiphany 3: That touch scroll really really sucks.
Epiphany 4: Because of this, Apple must suck too.
Epihpany 5: All the previous Epiphanies are probably not true.

Steam allows you to backup your games. Keep the steam install around, or find it at fileplanet and the like.
I also have Nero and DOOM 3. It worked just fine. Perhaps they check a specific version of Nero? I have 5.x as that's what came with my burner.
What are you settings on? All mine are high extend sound which I put to medium because it was crashing.

Zorbulator, I get like 2 minutes load time to 3 minutes gameplay in on the hover-thingie. I have rather good hardware, but HL2 likes to load forever.

WMP's reporting is presented at install as well. If someone else installed it, you can check the preferences where it is clearly marked.
They're just jelous that Halo 2 made record sales even against movies. Or zumthing.
