    One advantage is that you can use the QT documentation, which is really nice.

  2. Re:Please on Monkey Island To Return · · Score: 0

    And *please* make it run on linux (wine or native). I played the old games with great pleasure, now i am old enough to buy games i really intend to play. Having to get a no-cd patch means no money from me.
    Probably wont happen, but one can hope :)

  3. Where is step 3? on How To Teach a Healthy Dose of Skepticism? · · Score: 0

    Of course, critical thinking and logic are anathema to anyone who believes in god.

    Given 1: I believe in God. Given 2: I am an excellent computer engineer, with dual degrees in computer engineering and computer science. Given 3: Earning dual degrees in computer engineering and computer science and working as a computer engineer require strong critical thinking and logical skills. They also require having taken classes in logic and critical thinking. Step 1: Earning computer science and computer engineering degrees and working in the computer engineering field require logical and critical thinking skills (Given 3), and I work in this field and have those degrees (Given 2). Therefore, it follows that I have logical and critical thinking skills. Step 2: I have logical and critical thinking skills (Step 1), and I believe in God (Given 1). Therefore, there exist some people who believe in God and have critical thinking and logical skills. Conclusion: I have disproved your statement that "critical thinking and logic are anathema to anyone who believes in god" by counterexample. QED.

    Step 3: Profit?!

    Windoze suxxors! It and people who use it should not be allowed on the interweb! They should all be using [insert linux distro] Linux! Then, they wouldn't have this problem!

  5. Re:Just misinformed on Is Video RAM a Good Swap Device? · · Score: 0

    Video RAM is designed for performance, not for stability. If a bit flips in your video RAM, a pixel is going to be bad or a texture will be slightly different. You're not going to notice.

    A bit flip in your swap space (or main RAM), now that is something you really don't want to happen....

    Just install RAID5 on your video memory! The downside is you'll need atleast 3 videocards

    True, i blame the chicken and the egg :P

    I am sick of Windows, but I'm even sicker of the geek who assumes that just because he switched his home computer--or even his office server--over to Linux that anybody should be able to ditch Windows whenever they feel like it.

    But let's agree that anybody should be able to switch/ditch.
