I've always noticed that the sonic games were pretty artistic and creative, they were a success. I think it wouldn't be unfair to look at a game's artistic merit as well as the "traditional" stuff. I was just thinking about this earlier today actually.
What's the difference between BO2k and winVNC, both control your computer, winVNC provides you _FULL_ access to the desktop! Oh My! BO2K is in a way much more limited! Yet, if you were deciding which ones to toss out, even though both of them are billed as remote administration tools, you'd toss out BO2K and keep winVNC without a second thought most likely.
Or you'd toss out winVNC with it... and consequently put a halt to any kind of decent remote administration of windows, non-M$. Unless you tossed the M$ stuff out too... then... see? Slippery slope.
If my kernel was broken and I was forced to upgrade... it would _piss_ me off.
Okay, so I could just switch over to the already compiled and installed 2.6.0-test4 that's fairly functional sitting in my bootloader... but it would still piss me off... and you can't just switch to the next kernel in windows... lol.
That reminds me, I need to get the mixer working under 2.6... and I need grsecurity to support it soon too...
Anyone with a brain all accross the country points out that the language is not a static entity but something that evolves and continues it's growth. Therefore said english teachers that are worried about the "dismantling" of the language should just go off somewhere else. New words can be created and Internet is one... do you hear me critizing you for using these new-fangled words like internet?
Do you hear me criticising people for daring to use the verb google? No, that's because I've accepted the fact that our language evolves to meet new ideas and concepts that get introduced to it. That's what makes our language a interesting thing, as opposed to a boring one. This also keeps us from making laws similar to France's with the whole... corrieal or whatever the hell it was...
No, he can't fix that particular thing. But he complaining about it doesn't help, M2 is there for a reason and he should use it instead of posting, it'd be a better use of his time.
Would you want an in detail response when you've never touched Solarias or any unix and are trying to admin it? And are asking... DOOD how do I usez thiz softwarez?
If you want something that just works is easy to install then slackware isn't what you want. It makes me think you didn't bother to research on distros... it turns out you did but I had no way of knowing that. You don't just go down to BestBuy and expect slackware to just run for you... I don't think asking what the hell you were thinking is such a terrible thing to do. Besides, being my helpful self I even gave you alternatives that might have worked better for you had you not already tried them... (although I didn't see mandrake or... gasp... lindows in your list of tried distros... and those are really easy from what I've heard.)
Lindows is the only 5 minute install I've ever heard of... not much room for a poweruser though... you'd grow out of it into a new distro anyways... but then you'd have some experience and it'd be nice and easy.
Um, hello? Slackware is one of the worst distributions for new users. Download "official" Redhat/mandrake/SuSe ISOs and you'll find yourself so much happier...

That's from the homepage.
The cue that the vector graphics display isn't meant to be an abosolute standard might lie in the word "extension" plastered all over the website. And no, tireness is not an excuse for that one as I'm currently pulling an all-nighter to get some code out the door.
What like you could do any of those task on a stock non-OEM version of windows without pre-configuring?
Last I checked... the windows XP cd burning software that was built in was a pain in the ass. Try burning an ISO. And windows XP itself doesn't have an office suite now does it...
Where as most linux distros come with a whole shitload of application by default.
The article indicates that less users using linux are happy with design of the software as opposed to the design in Windows XP.
Linux takes some getting used to, and until then, the design is not the same, nor will be. But in many place it's arguably much better and easier with a bit of time to get used to it!
Take blender for example, horridly confusing UI, absolutely great once you get used to it. Lots of OSS apps are this way, not to the same extent... but still.
The key difference to most of your analougies is that most of the time, your tax dollars go to government run programs. Not directly to private corporations, this is what offends me most.
It's also why I object to the horrendous amounts of favortism for defense contracts.
As much as I'd like to see legal distribution of music... a situation where my college tutition is going to something I don't want to use. (Maybe I support indies for example) Then by merely going to college I am supporting and giving money to the RIAA whether or not I will use their product.
This program should include an opt-out option, at the very least.
Furthermore... it will be interesting to see if the files they feed the students (which they will have paid for) will be useless due to DRM. There is an increasing number of college students running linux. If they have to pay for something they can't use... they are not going to be happy. And neither will I... and my tax money helps fund the public universities and I would prefer to not have my tax money going to the RIAA, seeing as they may not pay for it all with tutition increases. Even if my tax money doesn't go to the RIAA, a government sanctioned organization should not be forcing it's students to pay (in their tutition) for a monopilies product... although there are plenty of examples of them already doing that...

If they do... I say bring it.

gcc.... yeah, okay. done. Spent: $0
Documentation... oh, hmmm, lemme think... go to the actual standards docs and specs? Yeah... just maybe.
Can I just be a bigot and assume win32 based executables won't exec on linux? ;)

The things I miss browsing at +2...
Didn't you see his sig?
One of the redhat people maintains an apt-get repository for redhat with apt4rpm and has all the appropriate binary rpms.
This cripping error is caused on some of the machines known as... macs.
Yes, this will unfortunatly require a wipe of most of the harddrive and an installation of YDL or similar.
Why not?
Answer me that and then I may start to agree with you.
Now I don't like it either... but the question remains... why not?

Will do.
On soviet mars, jokes bring on you. (preferably for dinner, but lunch is okay too)
Lesse, just need a hitchhiker's guide refference and a simpsons reference and I should be well on my way to something funny. Too Late... submit.
The fscking fix it in meta-mod... that's what it's for. Don't complain about bad moderating unless you bother to do something about it.
What would you expect me to say?

They do if I need them to burn a linux cd because they want to try it. :)

I wonder what a follow up study would look like.

I'd imagine that instead of pricing carefully most providers just attempt to work miracles and use guesswork.
:)
Figure out how much money you need... and who many customers you can expect, set your prices to get you there.
Or do the delibrate well-thought out option... that might work too.
