Yes, and gameserver. Battlefield 1942 and Counter-Strike: Condition Zero are great when hosted on Linux. Now we just need those games and other to run on Linux.
Are there more single-machine multiplayer games for Windows than for a typical game console?
I bet there is. Why four PC's?
Then write some emulators and port them to Linux.
You stand a better chance of writing an emulator than me because I don't use my time on Linux like you.
I sense that you take Linux very serious. Good for you. Meanwhile I'll just keep on using Windows. You like Linux, I like Windows. Linux is better at certain tasks like fileserver and webserver, but Linux is not easy enough for everyday users like me to use. I *hate* console commands. If I wanted to type stuff in a console I'd use Linux or DOS. Just my two cents.
Why should I buy a console when I have a PC? Your response is typical Slashdot like. Judging an OS by its ability to play the latest games is an excellent way to test it.
If I had a city car and wanted to go offroad should I simply buy another car that can do that? No, I start by buying an offroader since it'll also drive in the city.
I'm sorry to say that Linux will not win over Windows as long as you can't play new games like The Sims 2 or do simple things without opening a console. Yes, I know that DirectX is closed-source and I know that Linux is a very smart OS. But Linux is way to hard to learn and configure. I've tried many times to convert to Linux and everytime I'm missing a game or simply don't want to read the telephone sized FAQ's. Doing simple tasks like changing screen resolution should not involve opening a console and typing in obscure commands. I know I'll get modded down, but seriously Linux guys. Face it, Linux is to hard for normal users to use. Mom users like their puzzle bubble and surfing the web with Mozilla, but as a Joe Smoe user I can only say that using Linux for everyday tasks is still way too hard and I don't want to invest years just to learn Linux when Windows simply work with a click of a mouse.
European socialists? You sound like a hillbilly Bush voter with a gun tucked under your pillow awaiting for the new world order.
Your analogy of stating in public that European governments are rotten versus Bush is Hitler junior is unbalanced. You'd certainly get arrested on both continents if spouting somebody in government is Hitler junior since it's a direct lie and you'd promote nazism. The difference is that you'd get arrested in Europe because we learned the lesson of nazism and do not tolerate nazism. In USA you'd get arrested because you paint a negative image of Bush.
USA seem more and more like a police state. Once I wanted to visit USA but now I wouldn't dream of setting foot in the states. I'd probably be arrested if I said something wrong.
A spammer would certainly profit by producing child porn and running child prostitution rings. Your idea is just far out. It's like saying that people who drive too fast are killers because people get killed every second due to traffic accidents.
I do not have a problem regarding dyslexia. As a Danish person I too have problems expressing myself since english is not my mother language.
"Very certain" does not imply that Saddam is guilty. What if somebody was almost certainly guilty of murder. Should they be punished? Oh, wait. I forgot you're from Texas:)
If USA really is committed to take out all terrorists why not invade Columbia, Thailand, Sudan, etc.? Oh, wait. How can I be so stupid yet again? They don't have oil, gold, or diamonds.
Accept it. Your country, USA, has been reduced to nothing more that a country everybody hates. Once upon a time USA was truly great, but now americans (will not even capitalize that word) are nothing more than the eleventh plague.
But it wasn't Saddam that destroyed the towers so where is the justification of that? The excuse of invading Iraq has always officially been that he harbored Osama Bin Laden. The real reason is that Iraq has oil. I see USA as nothing more that a bunch of war-horny hicks bullying the rest of the world, invading whatever country they can as long as they can get away with it.
You're from Texas, the state that's number one in executions. Wow, that's something to be proud of! Doesn't matter if a few innocent will be killed in the process so long as the real criminals have their butts kicked.
Please excuse me but I see you as ignorant hill-billie, like it or not.
Actions made paint a better picture than to-be lies. Bush have made nothing but milking 9/11 and distance the rest of the world. I honestly don't understand why anybody would vote for Bush. Please comment reasons however ignorant they may be.
This is not a troll post. I don't think Linux will dominate the world as long as some games, like The Sims 2, doesn't work. Check out Transgaming for more information.
It's funny how the slashdot crow jumps in with witty comments when the story is about Microsoft. Whenever it FOSS related it's always serious and informative. Every application has errors one time or another. Slashdot is biased I'm sorry to conclude.
The USGS link points to a Microsoft Corporation website. Am I missing something or is this correct? Googling the link provided me with something more appropriate, namely this.
What's most depressing is that the majority of Americans actually agree with him and thinks that he's smart. Why else was he elected?
My view of Americans now is the crazy gun slinging cowboy from The Simpsons.
No, no, I thank you since I've downloaded and sharing both files now:)
All I did was right-clicking the search results and show file details.
Watching the presidential debate now. OMFG Bush is an idiot.

You religious guys are a joke. Show me God or quit whining anonymous coward.

The point is that sometimes, Windows isn't the game platform it's made out to be.
Well, there's more games for Windows so it's better. Period.
Don't get me wrong. I'd like the number of available Linux games to increase.
Can Linux play those games?
Sorry to have hurt your feelings on Linux.

What a load of crap. Spammers are in the game for profit.
Hmmm, I don't know if there was ten plagues and I don't care. I'm agnostic so if God really is, show me!

Maybe this will provide some help. Search for more at MIT.
Googling provided this. The device is rather pricey though.
