Yep SL is a women's world: stay-at-home moms, art students (and recent art school grads), graphic designers, etc. Most of the scripters seem to be male though.
Second Life has built in voice chat....and people use it. The majority of female avatars are played by women and of those who are played by folks who were born male, a bunch of those are transwomen. I've referred to SL as "a world for women". They run it, they own it. The number of geeky guys scripting helicopters and whatnot are easily outnumberd by the women making clothes, buying clothes, making art, playing music.
and even better even the players of the PC version freely admit that the PSone port (simultaenous release on both platforms believe it or not) is the exact same game, running at lower resolution. It's 3D so it runs better on the PSone than the C&C ports do and you can have your units behave intelligently, like returning for repair when they get heavily damaged. It also supports the PSone mouse with UI changes if you plug it in. The briefing lady's voice is VERY familiar to SOCOM players.
I was told that it is because GIMP was originally designed for manipulating existing images, not creating new ones and thusly has no line/geometric shape creating tools. Of course the gimp developers didn't realize that non-geek people might want easy to use "paint" tools to use for image manipulation as well.
That's not correct, older model PS3's including my CECHE01 model can still install and boot into Linux with the newest firmware. Only the Slim PS3's lack the ability. In other words, new firmware doesn't take away the ability in PS3's that had it.
It is, at least for certain kinds of work. Remember that Folding@home broke the petaflop barrier because of the PS3's contributions. While the GPU's are powerful, they don't have the versatility i nthe kinds of work units they can handle as the PS3 can.
More accurately you're limited to a non-accelerated framebuffer display. You can run Linux games, like nethack for example, you're just not going to run the ones that require 3D acceleration.
You're forgetting that since older model PS3's can boot into Linux, they also have torrent clients and media transcoders. So you could torrent the stuff in Linux, transcode with ffmpeg/mencoder (if necessary), and put the finished videos on external storage for viewing under GameOS.
That's the price you pay for living in an english speaking traditionally PAL territory, that is mostly wasteland/desert/scrubland, with a population of only 22 million people, far far away from the UK. Aren't you used to paying the price for importing by now? Shipping stuff to a relatively tiny population in the middle of nowhere is expensive, especially when that nowhere speaks a language where the majority of native speakers lives far far away.
On a standard resolution TV, the developers *can't* make the fonts tiny because it would be unreadable by even perfectly sighted folk.
They can't? Could have fooled me, there's a few games I've owned over the years that have font legibility issues on normal TV's:
Darkstone (PS1) Saga Frontier (PS1) Dark Cloud (PS2) FFXI (PS2)
Probably happened because developers test on devstations connected to monitors, and any TV's they use probably use the highest quality connection S-Video in the PS1 days, component in the PS2 days.
Oh really, then apparently I didn't install the PS3's Photo Gallery app (simple photo manipulation) and Folding@Home (now called Life with Playstation) I guess I also didn't install Linux on my PS3.
Try an early Phoenix build (or even an older Mozilla suite build), before they renamed it Firebird (and then Firefox) that should do the trick. Had the same issue in trying to configure the router from my PS2 Linux kit until Phoenix became available.

And for us RHEL/Fedora/CentOS/YDL users:
Zed: Well I guess you're gonna have to go yum install him now, won't you?
And thusly it will not run on PPC Linuxes. I don't think anyone has a properly working recent Mono build for PPC.

I've always read it as min-getty, and that getty was something that was designed to "get" something from a "tty" Which is probably entirely wrong.
Nikon does give away a program with limited RAW functionality.
Installing Linux is a Sony supported function on the PS2 (fat model) and the PS3 (fat model), no hacks/mods needed.

IMHO, LCD TV's have better quality screens and scalers than LCD Monitors intended for PC-only use.
Rogue level is displayed in IBMgraphics using CP437. It's probably not SSH that's the issue but your terminal.

"I hate it when another gay man opens his mouth and a purse falls out."

Older model PS3's like my CECHE01 model, play PS2 games just fine. As for Free games, does Nethack running on YDL6.2 qualify?
And the next thing he probably said was:
"Thank goodness we have a right and propery Theocracy here to control how people live in the Nation of Deseret...I mean the State of Utah."
The web based tax services that serve 95% of people's needs work just fine in Linux.

The latest Gnash release doesn't work with youtube, though it did a few weeks ago. Linux on PPC (Cell) here.

Also, to be a bit pedantic, games ARE programs. And some games on consoles you do install directly to the hard drive and play them from there.
Funny thing is that in EQOA, SCEA's PS2 MMORPG, a targeted mob's little mask icon is differently colored depending
Blue = friendly
White = neutral
Red = hostile
Probably easier to tell the difference that way than with a 1px outline
