i have to disagree with you..
doom 3 alpha was leaked way too soon.. They had extra code to help with debugging, very few, if any, hardware optimization. This game does not provide the standard. It merely helps win a penis contest.
ID never planned for anyone to play this because it wasn't even close to ready as far as optimized. Yes, it shows the nice graphics, but as far as framerates.. That is a bad comparison.
but I could see them running this demo on there just to show the kind of power it is capable, but I believe they should have put a small disclaimer telling that it was an alpha copy and the framerates will possibly change drastically with the released version.
I agree that it should be Linux ?? if we only want a two letter tag, but shouldn't we also check to make sure that the characters are only letters?
It would be odd to have Linux 95.. I mean, what about all of those possible "converts" like the MS PR person? They might think we are stuck in the 1990's and incredibly far behind windows.
Lets just start a Linux XOS (eXtreme OS)... Hopefully it won't flop like the XFL.
is surprisingly good at self-healing (i.e. fixing broken installs, etc).
ok, I am as much ashamed of this as the next person, so much so that I even turned down internet for a summer rather than installing AOL onto my computer again (she never completely forgave me for the first time)...
but the point of this is that I installed AOL on my computer because it is the only ISP my parents use and when I was home for the summer that was all I had.. Well when I needed to leave and I didn't care about the auto updates I just killed the connection (i love non-softpower machines).
Well, the next time I logged out it tried to update, well I figured i would let it.. Well from that point on the program would stop responding EVERY time.. There was no way besides a complete uninstall reinstall to fix that..
that doesn't seem to be great at auto-fixing because you know others would just hit the power rather than wait if they need to leave right away..
just my idea on that.. (btw, im proud you are weening her off of that..;)
