His intentions are well founded, but he has a large staff of people who make decisions for him. One of them probably thought it was indicitive of his "net savy" reputation to use online mail as a form of campaigning.
Sounds resonable.
I don't think he's net savy, as much as he is resonable to needs to the internet generation, or more than likely using this as the thing to set him a part, and make him a great canidate for president if the stock in people caring about the internet grows.
No. It makes everything (almost) one-bullet kills, makes some weapons have more recoil, and usually reduces the number of grenades. If you want all that you have listed, stick with Tom Clancy games.
That sounds better regardless. Thanks for the info, I'll be convincing others via force to use it for a least a test run:)
Just telling you, Wc3 works perfectly fine with the free version of winex. I played through the entire single player, and I played constantly on B.net, and it all worked fine. The ONLY differences i've noticed is that, the mouse becomes a crosshair, instead of a hand (No clue why, but it doesn't bother me). I have no experience with Civ3 though.
Does that work with the WC3 upgrade? And I can only assume that over a lan connection (as opposed to battle.net) it works fine.
If we're serious about getting linux much more widely adopted, linux needs a killer game that isn't available on windows...
I think a better way would be releasing both games at the same time on both systems. A console war isn't what Linux needs. It can handle itself on it's own with a fair playing field.
When is it that game developers are oging to finally realize that people who use linux (and *nix) are also games not just code junkies? Or there gonna be a Fud capaing like sco is trying?
I would assume that profitability vs time/development costs to port would have something to do with it.
If anyone has more information regarding this, please repond. I'd love to hear about it.
Get a realism mod. I used to be a Tom Clancy junky but this game's muliplayer with a realism mod is much more fun, IMO
What exactly does the realism mod do? I would assume by realise mod that it means increasing the inaccuracy (I.E. Realistic Physics in Tony Hawk).
Does it make shots more accurate? Further more, does it decrease some of the movement when firing a weapon? The only way I can ever successfully kill anyone is when I camp (sniper rifle) or go insanely sneaky with grenades. (Yet I was pretty good at Rainbow. R4L!)
I wonder if games sales/use for Linux would be greater if the Linux port were released at the same time as the Winodws version. It seems to me many people do not bother with the Linux version or patches because by the time it comes out for Linux they have been playing it in Windows for months and don't feel like moving it over. This was the case for me with NWN.
If the major games were released for Windows and Linux at the same time though there would never be a need to install on Windows.
There wouldn't be a need for Windows. (In my case.)
Yes, Linux sales would be much higher, as well as Linux usage. No one wants to run a system that won't allow them to make use of the programs they want to use.
Hopefully we will get to that point soon. I'm just happy to get to the point where when I want to use a program I can expect it to function properly, and not have to do a whole lot of configuring to it.
I play with a bunch of people during our lan parties. I personally don't like the game (too used to Rainbow Six, and when I point at something it dies.)
I thought there was no demand for it, but for how many people that whine when we are gaming to play it, I think that it is relatively high.
I am fully prepared to certify this site as the "Dumbest Thing on the Internet." Officially. Lord knows we've seen a lot, haven't we, brothers and sisters, lo these past few years?

NUMEROUS women and sex! As many as can fit to rub up against me and for me to see rubbing up against each other, with lots of licking and sucking and wandering hands.
Like he said, Linux and sex, because Linux is the only way that you will ever see anything close to that in your lifetime...... me too...
This is why fair-use and copyright expiration are absolutely necessary, so that people can create new works of entertainment without getting their arses sued off by the original artists' great-grand children.
Imagine what would have happened if they'd done this with Disney characters instead... WWDD?
If this is why fair-use and copyright expiration are absolutely necessary, then my stance on the issue has changed.
I think this would be the counter arguement for copyright expiration as opposed to the need for it. Even though I'm sure as a parody (of what I don't know... sex?) it already would fall under the "won't get me sued."
That's what I said... Solaris, I.E. unix will be phased out.. The Solaris Box, which is the flavour of unix will be phased out. It runs a database system that will be moved over to Windows as soon as they do anything (So in 2 years or so.)
I think you're just looking to try and make someone feel stupid as opposed to actually reading and discussing. Cool.
Every IT dept I've ever encountered was overburdened to start with. I can't imagine they would not want a break so they could attend to more important things than Windows crashes. Not only that, but the techs _hate_ dealing with this stuff.
Right, this article is talking as if it's 1999, and we are all still staffed with the correct ammount of people to do the job.
As opposed to now and so understaffed that I don't need Windows crashing, and causing undeterminable bugs to get in the way of my teaching users how to choose which font they want to use, and making sure they enter their time into a database correctly....
Exactly, I know more about unix than our unix admin!
Scary thing, i don't know THAT much about unix. He is amazing when it comes to Windows, and I'm sure Solaris will be phased out at first chance because no one in the company knows anything about it. It's like a relic to them, from an old system. (They have very few unix boxes, and only for 1 real job..)
But if I was looking at the exact same comperable solutions, and I knew 1 would benefit the IT department vs. hurting the IT department's job security, I go with the one that is going to secure jobs to my hardworking co-workers (and I)... The CEO makes more than all of us combined, We lost our coffee machine.. it's fair!
People are inherently lazy, unfortunately. I can't even say that I put as much work into researching elections as I should. Many people can't even stand contemplating this; they limit themselves to whomever gives them the best sound bytes.
So in what way do you choose a canidate? What is the process that should be used, because regardless of how intelligent I may or may not be, I cannot decide on a canidate unless 1 factor comes up.
I decide completely on the percieved evilness of a campaign. That sounds very silly. A resonably intelligent person making a decision based on who sounds evil.
Because my feable brain feels as though my vote is a vote for their tactics. I don't like your tactics, you don't get my vote. I could care less on actual politics, because so could the politicians. They will not tell you what they are going to do anyway. Honestly they have no idea. It will be a mixture of need, greed, and corperate intrests.
I listen to the canidates, I review the issues, I know what they are about, and least publicly.
Slashdot Mirror
With all the SCO news lately, it's nice to see something with a bit of humor in it.
I thought all of the SCO news had humour in it.
Will Try, and adding you as a friend. Thank you.

Pirate the windows version... only pay for the essential
Depending on the type of crack that was used, would that always work?
Basically, is there a general file, or a type of thing that the linux verison would be looking for to verify that you indeed have the windows verison?
Could you just add that piece of the puzzle, and then it would allow the Linux version to work?

Is CivIII for linux out? And what about Play the world?
Just questioning as you mentioned it. Warcraft 3, and Civ III ptw are the only reasons I run Windows.
And you have succeeded in proving that...you are the geekiest geek. Congratulations. Not sure what prize comes with that.
Excellent Karma on Slashdot?

"You're new here"
hahahaha.....
okay.. you're right. It's not remotely funny, or geek news.
Just think, right now we could be whining about Microsoft... tsk.
No, but our overlords have been welcomed.
These guys are geniuses.
