  1. 1. is pretty easy to do. I walk into your office with a clipboard. I unplug an unused PC and away I go. If need be I clone that PCs network address. How many places actually encrypt their wired network?

    From what I have seen, the PCI audit company would pass you anyway or the company would find another that would pass them. This is the main problem with PCI. As the entity that is being certified pays for the service they choose an auditor that will pass them. The correct way to do it would be if the industry paid for this service.

    By asking the question you were suggesting at least one answer was yes.

    We should not mate with our offspring because to do so is bad for the offspring, not because of any instinct. Try not to smoke or have an open flame near those strawmen you are setting up though.

    That is what I meant, I was unclear. I meant officially buy for linux and have binaries that work on linux. As opposed to my current solution of using Wine.

    I fly a fair bit, at least a few times a year. Enough to not ever fly United again if I can avoid it. I have heard good things about southwest, and I like jetblue, but they are not alway the cheapest.

    I merely mean your example of such a system is not a very good one. It does not offer what you seem to be suggesting, which is that a person can use their "digital property" when and where they like.

    To believe the spartans had it right, would mean we should abuse and kill those who are weaker. That is nothing like what you are saying now.

    Instincts and impulses do exist and we are better for overcoming them.

    No, look at your own handle. Look at your posting history. You have always been an anti-linux troll.

    There will be no mass windows exodus. If we are very lucky in 20 years there will be three major desktop operating systems. Nice strawman there though.

    You are just wrong. I know lots of Linux folks that did not flipout when PS3 network was down for longer than steam has ever had an outage. Some people will rage on slashdot, but that will be it. Most will just do something else. Most Linux users choose it for practical reasons, a very small and vocal group choose it for ideological reasons. Those like any recent converts are the most zealous. Steam on Linux is more choice, which is really what the platform is all about.

    The following are just the ones that cost money and are directly from Valve.
    This is already 14 games. Adding in the free stuff like Lost Coast and modds will greatly increase this list, but even 7 Vavle games on linux would be big news.

    Half Life
    Counter Strike
    Blue Shift
    Opposing Force

    Half Life 2
    Half Life 2: Deathmatch
    Half Life 2: Episode 1

    Left For Dead

    Which is still a lot. 331 games another poster claimed. One valve Source game ported to linux would be big news, 30 would be huge, over 300 would be a miracle.

    When they added mac support they did not charge extra. Any games you already owned for Windows were just also available for Mac. I doubt they will do anything different.

    So what?
    Even if they only ported Portal that would be a big first step.

    I know you are an anti-linux troll, but try to at least construct a rational argument. Linux users would have every right to be excited about just one vavle game being ported, 331 would be considered a miracle.

    I already own all the Valve games other than the L4D series. The minute they work on linux I will buy them. I would be glad to play the games I already own without wine.

    What you mean is the game sucked and the linux port sucked harder. Then when people demanded it actually work, after they paid, you decided against doing it again. If you are going to do a half assed job, just make sure it works with wine. Much better than a shitty port.

    I play lots of windows games that way, including valve ones. I have seen plenty of games where the windows version in wine was better than the port.

    They should mod you down for being wrong. Those you speak of are the loudest voices only. In reality lots of linux users are already running these games in wine, and would welcome official support. I am one of those users.
