And be grievously stunted socially. I earned a 1600 on my SATs and hung with the smart kids my entire life. My parents never let me skip a grade. I figure maybe one out of three smart kids has the maturity to do well in college socially a year early. We don't need more nerds in this country. We need more smart leaders and doers.
I don't know why the parent was marked Informative. The processor is the least likely point of failure in your computer. There's a lot of different suppliers for cases, fans, and other physical components which make the real difference in build quality.
Correction: They simply packaged Cedega with EVE for no additional cost. You don't have to subscribe to Cedega in order to play Eve. That's the important distinction.
What prompted CCP to investigate walking around in stations? Is it player demand? Perceived demand from potential players? Just the possiblities for White Wolf IP?
I second the vote for Eve Online. This year the ability to play under Linux improved dramatically. I play it under Cedega, but it also works under Wine now. Since the free recent expansion greatly improved the power of fresh newbies, it's definitely worth giving a spin on the 14 day free trial (google Eve Online Free Trial, and click the Google Ad).
It's the sole MMOG I've found that has struck the proper balance between player skill and character skill when determining the outcome of a battle.
Correct. The sensible approach would be to limit signal strength by statute in much the same way that building height is regulated, for example. Then let the market figure out how to best use the spectrum available.
And seriously, getting most of the commercial games that are available for Linux working in Linux is somewhat tricky. Getting OpenGL hardware support isn't difficult, but there's often other dependancies and such that have to be done before a certain game will work, and even when it does work it often doesn't work as well as the Windows version.
I disagree with you that getting commercial Linux games to work is somewhat tricky. At least, it is no more tricky than getting commercial Windows games to work. I recently decided to stop dual-booting Windows just for the games and installed a lot of Linux games, both commercial and free, on my computer. The only problems I encountered were with Myth 2: Soulblighter: the cutscenes cause the game to segfault and the OpenGL acceleration does not work. The newer games I tried all worked as well as the Windows versions. None of them required esoteric dependency resolution or package management.
A more apt example might be Prohibition. An activity which had little moral repugnance to most of the population was illegal for a time, but finally became legal. Certainly people who sold alcohol during Prohibition were breaking the law, and I doubt few would try to argue that "beer wants to be free." In 1933, when Prohibition was lifted, all the people who were breaking the law by going to speakeasies were suddenly on the right side of the law again. Were they justified in breaking the law before 1933? No, but neither were they wrong to want a drink.
Once again, we have an activity, now copyright infringement due to filesharing, which currently is illegal and which millions of Americans do anyway. It's like being in the middle of Prohibition. Is one justified in breaking this law? No, but neither is one wrong to want to fileshare. Perhaps the nation's electorate will once again communicate what it wants to its government, over the objections of a vocal minority.
Currently all the ways I know of breaking the DRM on iTMS music require downloading the access keys from iTMS. That is, if iTMS went away before you broke the DRM, you'd be screwed. Better to break it sooner rather than later if that is your plan.
What on earth was Catherine Barton thinking when she slept with Daniel Waterhouse? In my experience, attractive young women do not sleep with old men, especially immediately after their former lovers die.
Search is not fast and easy. I use Outlook 2003. I use mutt. If you try to leave all your mail in a single folder in either of these clients, you are in for a lot of pain. Mutt takes forever to read a mail box with thousands of messages. Outlook takes forever to search a mail box with thousands of messages. In all the mail applications I've used, only GMail makes the dumping of all mail into a single repository actually usable.
Multiplayer games use a client/server model. Any Joe Schmoe can take your open source game and modify it to produce cheats. In fact, they routinely do. BZFlag, an open source tank game, has all sorts of problems with cheats.
Some are due to their partitioning of the game simulation between clients and server, but some (like aimbots) are almost impossible to eradicate. Id games which have been open sourced famously have this problem as well.
For single player games, this isn't a problem. For performancer reasons, almost all multiplayer games will have this problem. There is no easy technical solution.
The reason that Valve doesn't do this is because they make a significant amount of income by licensing their engine to other developers. You're unlikely to find a developer with game engine that's commercially in-demand who wants to profit solely from the game content.
In my high school, people were mean to their own peer group. Outcasts were mean to outcasts. Partiers were mean to partiers. And never the twain shall meet.
Good luck. I'd say community standards have outgrown Ashcroft and Taylor's antiquated worldview. The guy sitting in the room clicking through porn isn't ridding the world of bad guys as he claims, he's trying to force his religious beliefs on a population which isn't going to let him.
