Forever... or so long as the physical media (and the machines that can read it) last.
With offline games you can: - extract the physical media (may be hard, but do it while it still works) - emulate the hardware - play! It's hard work but the emulator scene shows that it is doable to make games work like original and it's worth it.
With online games you have additionally to replace the centralized server infrastructure. And without access to the original code, it is impossible to make it work like the original.
buttons on the left actually works if you get used to it. The menu is up there, the panel menus are there, and if you think about it most of your focus is on the upper left. Putting the buttons at varying places way out to the right is actually kind of cumbersome.
No, the menu is not "there" on Unity: it is at the top of the screen, far away from my mouse cursor. And the menu is hidden until the mouse cursor goes there. Which means I won't think to use menu accelerators, because I want to see before I type a key.
And my mouse cursor is usually on the right side of windows, near the scrollbars or the widgets in the content, not at the top.
I hate unity.. but just logout and go back into ubuntu classic.
I'm not luck as you: I don't have that choice. Both uses advanced features of the graphic card, and the video drivers are buggy on 2 of my 4 PCs. I had to fallback to Xubuntu (XFCE).
I installed Ubuntu Natty at work on a new PC, and the video driver is not ready: both Ubuntu and Ubuntu Classic (Gnome), even "without effects" randomly freeze the system. I upgraded the 5 years old PC of my mom and it has also has buggy drivers. Unity even says that it does not support that hardware. If the upgrade had warned be about that problem before the upgrade I would have not done it. Or checked with a live CD first. I switched both systems to Xubuntu and that just works.
Natty is the worst Ubuntu release. Ever. Canonical released it on the last day of april (for marketing reasons) even if they knew it was not ready.
It was also the major Microsoft strategy to move developers from a 32 bits environment..NET makes applications less dependent on the underlying OS architecture, and that was a good move for them to have developers to make applications working on 64 bits Windows.
Almost everything that can be done in VBScript can be done instead with JavaScript. The exceptions are due to a few built-ins that VBScript has but not JScript. But with JScript you get proper exception handling.
Being prime has nothing to do with base. Base are just used for representation of numbers for writing. The number itself is divisible or not divisible by another number whatever the base in which they are written on your screen.
If you disagree, I expect that you may accept that "4 is a prime number when it is written on a computer screen because the computer screen has an odd number of faces, while 4 is not a prime number when it is written on a sheet of paper because the paper has two faces and 2 is even".
Who is the target of that advertising? The Gmail user.
Not the sender-who-is-not-a-Google-account-owner. Because currently Google doesn't do e-mail advertising and I don't see how they would link an e-mail adress to an web user who does not have an Google account with that e-mail address.
As a common problem -- personally and in business -- listening to other people's solutions before digging into it yourself is an efficient way to deal with it.
Thank you for your insight. We already knew that is a common problem. What the poster wants (and me as well) is concrete solutions. But you
I would wager that 80%+ of perl coders are Unix/Linux sysadmins. That's certainly where I've seen the language most widely used.
Perl 6 has the powerful features that will make it a top general purpose language because of the improved productivity of the programmer. It is a major break in the Perl's history. It drops Perl 5's legacies and introduces tens of features that no other programming language has.
Just about every "benefit" of Perl 6 is something that Haskell alone has offered in a usable form for years, if not decades.
As you seem to be in the Haskell community, you are probably aware that GHC development has been pushed by Audrey Tang's work on its own Perl 6 implementation (Pugs) by experimenting advanced features of GHC. So the Haskell community has already benefited from Perl 6.

This is opening the Pandora box. Many new exploits expected. Graphics hardware is designed to be fast, not secure. We will soon see javascript codes hijacking the desktop view, to show more intrusive ads in the best cases, steal personal information in the worst.
In France we have only 5 weeks of holidays. We work 35 hours/week (which when you effectively work 39 hours/week gives you 10 more days of holidays). But it's still not enough to contribute more to free software: vacation is time for going away from your keyboard. The exception being to bring your keyboard with you to go abroad to a free software conference such as YAPC::EU::2009.

They are in fact in a totally different place. But once I found where, I admit that it makes sense.
They are now in the sytem menu with your username at the top right of the screen, just below "Shutdown".
Then it defaults to Unity.
And freeze.

The "basic XFCE compositor" is what saved me.

What "bad blood"? There was a Mono presentation by Novell at the Microsoft TechDays 2011 in february in Paris. I was there.
Can't find an official page on the official site. But here is a link in french. http://blogs.dotnet-france.com/jeanphilippeg/post/TechDays2011-Mono-et-son-ecosysteme.aspx
I would screen out someone who makes such statements without any arguments.

The trading engine of the Paris stock exchange (previously Euronext, now NYSE-Euronext) is already on Red Hat Linux since 2006.
Now look at those three lines as a bitmap picture.
Do you see the pattern?
Here is at least a really interesting track...
In ASCII art, (1='Z', 0='_'):
ZZ__Z_ZZZ__
Z__Z_Z_Z__Z
__ZZZ_Z__ZZ

The diario oficial is not "the official newspaper". It is in fact the public journal of the country, where laws are published.
