  1. Re:Not ready as a gaming platform on Steam Not Coming To Linux · · Score: 1

    >A lot of Linux users are exactly the same with anything closed source; *they* don't want closed source software and drivers because *they* feel it's unacceptable for people to use them and that it will have a negative effect on Linux because it goes against what they believe in. Sorry man that thats the retards who think that not ones like me who just want a nice stable/secure os. I run Min 9 on three computers at home and I don't care if I use closed or open source software, I just want a choice of software that available for Windows. I don't use Windows or Mac software because I have a choice now not to run these. But whatever...

    >He's representing himself. I guess we can't blame a lawyer for this one ...

    I wonder if he'll bring in his laptop and play lineage at the court house.

    I too have played Lineage 2 and have done more then 11 hours straight (15 hours soloing to collect 500K SP for my lvl 3 clan - this was in prelude I believe), hell we use to get drunk and get ready to hit the bar and I'd log in to see whats up, then my buddy would start to jonseing and drive home 1 hour away just to play and we'd forget about going out.

    But there is a limit unless you're a weak feeble person and then L2 FTW BUT thats your own problem not NC's even though they're scum for taking money from farmers over ruining regular players game play.

    >but if you don't see it you're just not thinking different enough. Just continue to follow the sheep and install your Windows. At least when I see an Apple user I know he is different, intellectual person I can have a good conversation with. He is not just there to talk with me because he has malware on his computer. I am studying art currently and having the iPad makes a complete difference on how other students and professors look at me. They know I'm an artist and an intellectual person.

    I'm not quite sure if you're trying to be ironic here or for real which is the scary part if its for real.

    Seems to me you're just trying too hard to be different where there is not need to be different.

    Wouldn't they do the same thing. Decrease friction = better gas mileage?

    But who cares I love my unpractical 35" Pro Comp Xtremes and my 16 mpg truck which I drive 100km to and from work 6 days per week.

    Now thats more like a book/comic then the 3D0. Also most car racing games have this feature or use to, I believe Ridge Racer on PS1 had that and all the other Need For Speed. I wonder if any of the games gave an option of saving that data to a memory card?

    Now mind you I would have to use some post processing hardware/software like a camera/screen capture and a video editor. How many of these videos of video games are on youtube? 1000's!

    I was playing Need For Speed on my new 3DO machine the other day and when I finished a race I had the replay option which lets me view the whole race from several angles. I could then make a video and turn it into a personal video game comic.

    >A fine is different from 5 years in jail when you have a family to support.

    My mom and all her friends did that in Poland in the early 1980's. She was eventually kidnapped from in front of our house, interrogated, beaten black and blue and sent to a special prison in Goldap Poland http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=Goldap+Poland+prison&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=

    Actually my aunt, my moms sister who was also arrested around the same time got the worst of the beatings with full fists of heir missing from her head.

    My mom also took me to this riot http://www.lubin82.pl/index_eng.html

    She did what she had to do to stop tyranny and oppression.

    Eventually the gov realized it would be much easier to just let all political activists emigrate where ever they wanted to. We came to Canada while her other friends ended up in the places like the USA and South Africa.

    You don't have to help them but acknowledge that they are there/exist. I noticed it spooks the shifty fuckers and makes the more shy customers more at ease so its easier for them to ask you for help.

    and they all answer to their name. Now 50% of the time they could care less about interacting with you if they are in some king of search/investigative/attack mode. But if they are not in those modes they do react to their names and only to their names, other cats will not respond to a different cats name. DO they actually think its their name? Well probably not but I'm sure the sound of each name could be a meow sound specific to their own ears.

    Before the computer arrived I already dl'd/burnt the Linux Mint 9 cd. I was ready. After unpacking the XPS I installed Mint 9 and had all the aps (Full versions) I needed for free.

    Now befre you call me a Linux fanboi I like to use the right tool for the job and atm Mint 9 is that tool. If someone else comes out with a better option I'll ditch Mint/Linux and go with the new option. For me atm Windows and Apple are not an option.
