before my university switched the linux lab images to ones without OpenMosix... i had 30 machines at my disposal... that pimped my D.net ranking with a lovely >1k blocks a DAY turnover.
i just need a good way to get it working again... oh well.
I know a number of small apps that i would NEVER pay for were they open source, at some point i might donate or contribute to them, but i cannot see them as worth paying for, yet as closed source apps these little winlets (windoze apps to do the most innane of tasks that can be handled by mere scripts on bsd or linux) flourish as everything from little games, to quite sophisticated little gizmos whos functions would be rapidly riped into larger products were they open source.
"Every Game Ever Made"? well you could just say extensive, not try and claim you have them ALL im fairly sure that a few of them used larger memory chips inside the carts, i could have sworn a few of the very last games used 128MB roms inside the carts, Rares games come to mind, Donkey Kong 64 and Perfect Dark were among the Biggest games on the console, and im fairly sure they had more than 64MB carts for them.
as the proud owner of a Nintendo 64... god i wish i could get my blasted pads fixed:(
id like to point out, that roms of the larger games actualy reach a ziped size of 90+ MB in some circumstances, which is why my entire N64 collection of purchased games (that i intend to get for the VC without paying for what i own again) is likely to need a couple of gig SD card... or mabey a USB hard drive thing since i remember hearing it has 2USB ports tucked in there as well.
rather specious reasoning to assume anything from the fact you dont find trekkies among the convicted felons being because its somehow enlightening... a more logical argument would invlove say, ex cons reforming as trekkies inspired by the show somehow... but i cant possibly fathom how myself...
i think im going to get this printed and tape it on the screen of every computer i make now haha
your right that its honestly a solid disclaimer for the madness that is the internet.

welllll id say its official
e3 just went down the toilet... no wonder the big 3 are holding press conferences before the damn thing. No ones going to turn up to the actual one with those kinds of things going on.
funnily enough im well aware of this... im perfectly capable of using this or one of 4 other soloutions i have found... the danger is that windows itself blindly follows these links with no real intelligence, the filesystem is fine with them... the applications on the other hand are utterly ignorant of the possibility since NT apps were never designed with full POSIX compliance so a recursive operation on any file that traverses a hard link will create misleading drive semantics. and as the user of an automated drive performance maintenance tool... BAD move for me. I cant rely on my copy of Diskeeper to handle Hard links or Soft Links and untill i can, theres little point me risking data corruption by playing with experimental and "unsupported" file system structures.
how bout NTFS... they bury hard links under such arcane obfuscations and warnings that despite a huge benift they would give me... i simply cannot fathom why i should risk my data, and my entire os setup stability to use them.
see the point was that in response to the GP, that they should give people money to down clock them themselves... and i was pointing out the inherent flaw that theres nothing stopping them from just pretending to have a faulty chip, pretending to underclock it, and leaving unchanged, and pocketing a pile of money
Q3 - now open source, doesnt matter if they care cause we can make our own. D3 - nice to see, but its one of the 2 companies that do make linux versions, but theyre exempt from this cause well... theres 2 of them... and iD do it for Philosophical reasons (carmaks big on open source as his continuing trend to open up the engines shows) Q4 - see above UT*** - nice but so what... the reason is cause its developed primarily to be licenced and theyre nice enough not to stop people buying it to develop 3d software packages on linux. They make the engine work on linux cause its good planing, and an extra reason to buy their engine. The majority of games built with the Unreal engine DO NOT see linux versions. So its a moot point claiming that Epic releasing a linux version is "so good of them" since realy the hard work is done for them by Unreal Technologies making the engine compatible to begin with.
cant wait to get the little widgets on my desktop, and all the multimedia, and its gonna be so much better to look at than vistas Aeroglass crap, and all the games... oh...
****
guess its still not THAT great afterall... come on someone, put up a hundred grand prize for the first "big name title" (some criteria to exclude stuff already on linux, and crap like madden from being eligable) to provide a native Linux version. or something... pretty KDE is nice and everything but... i miss my games:(
when i said pretzel i meant to imply said snake was folded into an entirely unatural position, not simply doing the whole circle snake eating itself thing thats been done to death before since they discovered Benzene.
and realy... if you start crippling yourself to "stop stealing your own stuff"... your mentaly unbalanced and in need of counceling... Who wants to be sonys Psych?

leverage a creative punishment
something like percentage proffit forfiture
25 or 50% of the proffit of the offending products should certainly put a crip in MSs attitude

as long as i have the nice fat "refund" check for clocking down the cpus, who cares :P
Yes i have a faulty cpu..
Turn its clock down, right, yep done that.
So now ill never be affected by this obscure glitch that is almost totaly unreproducable outside of synthetic testing, oh thanks very much.
can i have the check now please ?
*check arives*
*cashes check*
*clocks cpus back up*

ill be waiting for the 4.0 RC 1 so i can help get rid of the bugs :)
