Yes, but did you pay for that Defender software you're playing in MAME? The game is still owned by Warner Bros who still sell it for various platforms.
The fact that you're posting on this site means you're not representative of the general population.
I feel insulted. I'm a luser not a hardcore Linux nerd you insensitive clod. I don't use emacs...or gnu screen. I actually use X11. I configured my printer with a graphical interface not my hand editing/etc/printcap. I haven't compiled a kernel in years! I'm not even a programmer or sysadmin, my first exposure to Linux was on the PS2. Look at my slashdot UID...it has 6 digits.
I think I shall start referring to my Firefox window as "The Internet" and my computer's case as "The CPU" now.
Counter strike exists because some cheap-ass Euro-gamers, modded a game they already had because they were too cheap to buy other games. Nothing more, nothing less? Haven't you wondered why the modding community is so strong in Europe, it's because they're cheap pirates at heart! They have been since the 80's!
The primary goal is the protection of the PC platform (which is Valve's revenue source).
Perhaps Valve should have diversified their software offerings and done some console games themselves rather than farming out some ports., then they wouldn't have been so dependent on Microsoft in the first place. They could have started doing that in the 90's!
You're not taking ALL the console games into account. Not all console games come on disc or are $60. There were games costing less than $20 for the PS4 on PSN at launch.
Oh and Resogun sucks ass. It's Defender with pretty graphics;{/quote]
Yes it essentially is Defender with pretty graphics, but I think it's a fairly good game.
[quote]I'd rather just fire up MAME and play the real thing.[/quote]
Who needs MAME when you have Midway Arcade Origins on the PS3. Or Midway Arcade Treasures on the PS2, or the Williams collection for PSOne, SNES, etc etc.
Also Midway Arcade Treasures for the PSP means portable Defender (and Gauntlet)
I'm a former webtv/msntv user, last used it in 2002. They shut down the service in September of last year. The addresses were transferred over to outlook.com so you might still see webtv.net addresses.
I'm so used to Linux I didn't realize that the File Dialog in windows was basically a full featured Explorer window until I tested it just a minute ago.
Probably same way as sqrt's aquaintence. They'd open Word and use the file/open dialog to look around the filesystem.
But they couldn't do any file manipulation that way, can they? Or can you use Word's file dialog to open things in other applications? (testing) Ah....the Word file dialog is basically a full featured explorer window unlike file dialogs in Linux. That explains it.
Simillarly, it doesn't matter if the message you're sending is encrypted between you and Yahoo if Yahoo sends it in plain text to the recipient.
Yes I understand that what TFA is referring to is the SSL/TLS encryption between browser or mail client and the website/server
But what some of us here in this thread are talking about is "client side encryption between sender and recipient If say Bob encrypts an email with GnuPG or S/MIME to Alice it doesn't matter if the Alice's connection to their mail server isn't SSL, the message is still encrypted and gobbledygook to any interceptor.
For example here is a tiny bit of what an ascii armored encrypted message looks like:
Damn lameness filter didn't let me include the whole thing. But you can see that while having the connection to the SMTP/IMAP/Webmail server be TLS/SSL is important... client side encryption is what will really secure any messages from outside reading.
I know someone who has been using Windows daily in their job for 20 years and yet they have never heard of/seen Windows Explorer (not IE)
What? How can that be? I'm not doubting you, but how did they "do" things without encountering Windows Explorer?
and only found out that start/all programs lets you see what apps you have, a few weeks ago
Correct me if I'm wrong, I rarely use Windows, but isn't "All Programs" near the very top of the Start Menu. How did they manage not using that or even clicking on it by accident.
They save all their IE short cuts to the desktop, not to IE.
But doesn't that require them to not run IE maximized and drag the address bar to the desktop?
You have made my head explode out of sheer "Whaaaaat?" today.
I remember reading somewhere (I even think it was slashdot) about someone suggesting an addition to the e-mail RFC's a standard for an "set up e-mail" file that one could import into one's email application.
But setting up IMAP or POP3 isn't that difficult, not much different from following a recipe matching field to field. In fact, people used to have to do it.
For example Gmail is simply:
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
imap.gmail.com
Port: 993
Requires SSL:Yes
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires TLS
smtp.gmail.com
Port: 465 or 587
Requires SSL: Yes
Requires authentication: Yes
Use same settings as incoming mail server
That term is for encrypted email messages using PGP/GPG/S-MIME.
Yahoo have no framework for email encryption.
Don't really need a framework if you have POP3 or IMAP access to it, then you can use a "real" e-mail client that DOES have GnuPG or S/MIME support. It should also cure the HTTPS issue.
Why do people insist on using a web browser to read their mail instead of a proper e-mail client that implements proper TLS and every other feature that an e-mail client has that the web interface doesn't. It's not like people can't access their webmail over proper IMAP or POP3, which has advantages like seeing no advertising and the ability to use GnuPG or S/MIME encryption if one wants.
Why are you using a web browser to access gmail when you can use IMAP with a proper email client using proper TLS. Not only that you don't see ads that way and gain the ability to use GnuPG or S/MIME encryption if you want to.
Copyright infringers use mkv because it is arguably the best container format with the fewest restrictions.
I would call not being able to be played on consumer electronic hardware a serious restriction. I sometimes believe that the pirates use MKV just out of a sense of "leetness" rather than actual features. Not withstanding that a lot of pirates are Russian and well it's called "Mastroska" for a reason.
Slashdot Mirror
You mean you are using something you don't have the rights to use.
Don't be a overly entitled man-child. Grown-ups pay for the stuff the use/want, that includes games. Yes, even old games.
Now if the game wasn't available on any platform I'd be more willing to cut people some slack...but Defender IS still being sold.

As has been said, install pulseaudio's esound compatibility package and it should "just work"
or on fedora:
sudo yum install puseaudio-esound-compat
Indeed, pulseaudio is a drop-in replacement for esd, it should just work.

Resogun, yeah it's a Defender clone but it's a damn good one.
DCUO. Hey, the PS4 is the first console to launch with an MMORPG available, that counts for something.
I hear Knack is a fairly fun platformer
Don't Starve.
ACwhatever
Sportsgamefoo
Lego Marvel Super Heroes
It's not great, but it's not horrible.
Wait, what about webtv?
I'm a former webtv/msntv user, last used it in 2002. They shut down the service in September of last year. The addresses were transferred over to outlook.com so you might still see webtv.net addresses.
Because that involves setting up an email client.
But you only have to do it once! Set it and forget it. And people even "normal" users used to have to do it.
Maybe because they don't have admin rights on a work pc, and still want to access their personal email.
Maybe I'm being grumpy but I don't think people should access personal e-mail accounts on their work computer.
and FWIW, yahoo disabled POP3 access on all of their non-paid accounts years ago.
Oh? From what I've read they enabled it back recently.

My favorite simpleton is the one who uses MS Word as their file manager.
How?

Yep but the Prius in my driveway solves 100% of my problems.
Yours too I bet.
The funny this is there is a Prius in my driveway, but I do use a real e-mail client.
I understand that most users don't need advanced features but.....
Problem: Users complain about the targeted ads in their webmail tab.
Solution: Using a real e-mail client over POP3/IMAP removes that.
Problem: Users want e-mail privacy
Solution: PGP/GPG or S/MIME with a real client.
Problem: Users worried that an HTML message my do something harmful.
Solution: Use a proper e-mail client that doesn't view the HTML by default.

a little parental discipline handles that problem
"You don't play with those, you have Dad or Mom put them in"
DVD's are fairly scratch resistant, Blu-rays more so.
