While they are the type of game that people do get adicted to somtimes labeling anyone who plays a MMORPG as an adict who has no outside life is really retarded since its a just a massive blanket statement that cant posibly be accurate
the russian weather and resiliance pummeled the german army into oblivion
if he had directed all those troops at us brits we would of probably taken a much bigger beating and the D-day assault would probably not of been viable or at the very least would of come off a lot worse allowing germany to counter attack
i have windows on my primary machine for the sole reason that i am a gamer
if games worked on Linux i would never install windows again
and id say that there are a lot of people who are in the same situation so with that in mind making linux better for gaming will make it more successful because you win over the gamers who dislike windows
tbh making google toolbar for web browsers other than IE might be a bit redundant since most of the other browsers are actualy good and already incorporate most of the stuff that the good toolbar has to offer
its only useful on IE because IE lacks so much functionality
but surely as a lawyer you should know that even if that code is theres (which it probably isnt considering the last lot of code they showed as an example of infringement was all open source code taken from BSD or was released by Caldera themselves) they made it open source when they released it under the GPL when they distributed linux

Muse aint manufactured
:P
though im not sure if they have an presence in america at all so ill forgive you
Why would sony ever agree to this?
they are planning to use blue ray in the PS3 apparantly and MS are there direct competitor in that area
it seems madness to hand over control of the codec to MS
Thye have kinda
they said its going gold soon
they cant say anything more than that because once its gone gold is it totaly up to vivendi when it is released
Well officialy yeh
:)
but im sure a lot of us would of still celebrated him if he had suceeded
though tbh most people just dont care
we just use it as an excuse to burn stuff and set off lots of explosives
it wasnt originaly made by valve but all of the people who made it now work for valve so i guess its kinda accurate to say they made it
I guess bushnell is the father of commercial video games
but Ralph Baer is the father of the concept
he was the first person to come up with the idea he just ot beat to market because it took about 10 years to get anyone to belive he had a good idea
While american support did help alot
i agree with the original poster
hitler lost WW2 by invading russia
the russian weather and resiliance pummeled the german army into oblivion
if he had directed all those troops at us brits we would of probably taken a much bigger beating and the D-day assault would probably not of been viable or at the very least would of come off a lot worse allowing germany to counter attack
Because alot of people who like linux are gamers
i mean take myself as an example
i have windows on my primary machine for the sole reason that i am a gamer
if games worked on Linux i would never install windows again
and id say that there are a lot of people who are in the same situation so with that in mind making linux better for gaming will make it more successful because you win over the gamers who dislike windows
Yeh but you guys make guiness which makes it okay :)
well

This is the same for any country really
thats why MS got off lightly in the american anti trust case
indeed
linux as the same problem as the mac
its stuck in this destructive cycle
developers dont make games for linux because of lack of gamers
gamers dont use linux because of lack of games
Indeed
:)
this thing with there staff is just a massive beta test
im british and i dont really understand why people love them so much
however they do one good thing - they generate a shit load of money because of tourists
i also got started on wolf3d (and blake stone if anyone remembers that) but i have to disagree with you
Halo is not bad
but it is pretty damn average - theres nothing new about it and alot of the levels are extremely repetetive
though as i said its not a bad game - its just not the amazing mastepiece xbox users built it up to be
Actualy hes probably an AC because as he said hes a lawyer and not a tech guy
he probably doesnt come to slashdot very often
but surely as a lawyer you should know that even if that code is theres (which it probably isnt considering the last lot of code they showed as an example of infringement was all open source code taken from BSD or was released by Caldera themselves) they made it open source when they released it under the GPL when they distributed linux
Take 2 are spending hardly any money on this
its all being funded by 3D realms
thats why when take 2 did cut the little money they were putting i a while ago 3d realms didnt really give a damn
you do realise that Nvidia was found to be cheating in those 3dmark results right?
/ at i_vs_nvidia/dx9_desktop/001.htm
they inserted static clipping planes and swaped shaders out
take a look at this article using the latest build of Halo PC and take note of the developer comments at the top
i think you will find your wrong
http://www.gamersdepot.com/hardware/video_cards
also tomb raider angel of darkness being a shite game is irrelevent in this matter
its one of the only DX9 programs out at the moment and so is useful as a benchmark for DX9 performance
if Valve did ptimize HL2 for ATI
:P
then how come these programs also show Nvidia shader performance as pathetic
halo PC
tomb raider angel of darkness
shadermark
3dmark03
and why have the det 50 drivers which nvidia recomended that valve used been proven to reduce image quality by a substantial amount?
is ATI really rich enough to buy off all of these companies and also manage to sabotage Nvidias drivers and PR team?
its because people base there buying decisions off benchmarks on major games like this
basicaly they are trying to cheat people out of there money by making the card perform on the most popular games but suck on everything else
you should be able to run it
HL2 is able to scale all the way back to direct X 6 standard
so while you will need to turn off alot of effects you should be able to play the game
Not true
synthetic benchmarks have been showing that the geforce FX has poor directX 9 performance
just everyone dismissed them because they were synthetic benchmarks
I dont think anyone is saying that the US shouldnt fund military research
peoples main complaint is that the US spents to much on it and the money would be of more use elsewere
