  4. Please Clarify on Valve: Linux Better Than Windows 8 for Gaming · · Score: 3

    The heading is somewhat misleading. I think that this should be clarified that Linux provides a better environment for game development. Linux has not actually hit that tipping point of having more available games.

  22. Re:Where Does Europe Fit In This? on East vs. West: Culture and Distributed Development · · Score: 1

    You have to admit that the Yank mind-frame is the first postition exemplified. Through Europe and GB, there is going to be some shading towards his second position (political, cultural, eco. influences) Hey you have to admit we are cowboys. I think the same could be said for Australians. Though you might just say we are loud. Ab_iron

    That's kind of what we have going in our house. We have a bag of whole bean French roast and a bag of whole bean Decaf Blend (Arabica and Colombian). Started at 75/25 and gradually worked it down to the reverse mix and have left it there for the first pot of the day. Any subsequent pots are straight decaf. Of course, there are few days each week where I find myself stopping by Starbucks to get fully hooked up to the machine.
