  6. Re:The every other version problem on CowboyNeal Weighs In On the Windows 8 "Metro" GUI · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm beginning to think that Microsoft isn't allowing the new GUI to be disabled in order to purposely have a bad Windows version.

    Then, Windows 9 will come out in a year or two and suddenly have the option of booting to the old Start menu, thus perpetuating the "every other version of Windows is good" trend.

    And they'll have tv commercial with peoples stating "It was my idea" and they'll call it a new improved feature.

  9. As a heavy meat eater on Meat the Food of the Future · · Score: 2

    there are lots of way to dress up vegetables to make even meat eaters drool all over. Just look outside of the western culture for some recipes. Unfortunately for some its too much work/time to cook up some Curry or Thai so they'll just stick to SPAM.

  10. Re:He's obviously right on John Carmack: Kudos To Valve, But Linux Is Still Not a Viable Gaming Market · · Score: 1

    First of all, the Linux userbase is really small to begin with. Within that small userbase, you have two relatively large groups:

    1. The ideologues, who really believe in RMS's idea that proprietary software is unethical.
    2. The cheapskates, who aren't going to pay for software.

    Who's left to sell to?

    Yup I love my Jaguar which I`ve owned since 1995. Love my Iron Soldier, Cannon Fodder, AVP, Tempest. I also play NES, Super NES, Saturn, Dream Cast, 3DO, PS1, N64, Game Cube and Wii. The only one I don`t play are the new systems Xbox and PS++ which the kids play.

    Oh and GET THIS i prefer cartoony games like Rayman, Mario 64, Mario Kart over life like FPS. Yah....

    There's no computer gaming in my house because all three computers run Linux Mint. So the kids play consoles from NES, Jaguar to Xbox. Good enough for my family.

    So can I get a patent on divorcing/separating a laptop screen and a keyboard into a fantastic happy little accident which gives the user true dual purpose experience? Maybe I'll call it the Asus Transformer?

    The developers are getting sick of the "users" ripping off their software, pirating it with ease, and not thinking twice about if their software is legal or not.
