Dx comes with windows, since like nt4 (abiet an older version) but since it uses DX it uses Windows, which is like a GIG. so this game is huge it needs over a GIG to play, awsome post tho. glad you wasted your time.
because if lots of people didn't work on making yet *another* branch of something to download and make you wonder if you should do the same in linux, it wouldn't be linux.
not so much quality, but if you think about it, why goto a store that sells just one type of over priced computer than runs the same windows software as the ones at best buy/comp usa/etc - where you can see 10+ diffrent manufacturers trying to shove an extra gizmo or two on top of just your bland windows software. . . kind of like if Mobil made a store to sell just oil out of.. kinda stupid when you think about it for 21 seconds.. but i don't have a MBA or anything, so i figured it out faster..
I love the wheres-waldo posts, you know the ones I mean, where they give you some oddball word, say "Buckyballs".. then they say "It's going to surely be the end of the world, these damn Buckyballs.." of course, with no links with a picture or a quick rundown of said object..
Bowkillmore's are the next big thing in Falgiimorie!
most people I know that get the warez version of software usualy get it to try it out, then buy the real thing, if the software industry didn't suck so bad you wouldn't have to, think back to Dakitana, hyped by everyone to be this great game, GameSpy GameSpot etc.. 10 stars and crap, then you go spend $50 on it, and in 10 minutes you want to go back and punch the pimply dork that let you walk out of the software store with that crap in the face!
On another note, I can't stand how our (US) laws havent gotten so abused and misused. what happened to the land of the free? I rember hearing a story about some British Tea getting thrown off into the water becuase AMERICANS were tierd of paying TAXES on it. But now the US taxes the tea, gas, hell now were gonna send a tax to AU. might as well, they seem to be kissing G.W.'s butt pretty good these days.
I'll tell ya the hardships of mac programming, as a newbie (myself) trying to figure out that you have to hold ctrl or shift or cmd and drag a line from one MDI window to another on your acctual forms to make it 'connect'.. thats hard.. I've been reading this damn Cocoa book for a month and i still have no idea how anyone would ever learn to do anything 'radical' or new without explicit instructions of the odd interface of Xcode and its buddy Interface builder. but i'm just a newb so i'm prolly riding on -1 Troll or something, anyways, back to finding out how many combintations there are for menu items, such as cmd-backspace-shift-ctrl just to save a file.. woot!
and somehow.. i still like the ol' mac..
it's like drugs, fun for the end-user, hard as hell for the chemist.
so when is someone going to get the insurance companies for this same thing? making everyone in the US pay to drive an automobile. (sometimes more than your automobile payment) and no way around it? extortion if i ever herd it! TAKE DOWN THE MAN!
i put in my patent today, a device to take in oxygen and replenish living objects. I'll call it my Breathing Patent! no one ever thought of this one, i'm gonna be rich!
all i see is people talking about the single click rename in osx. but no one has mentioned if you right click any file and click "Get Info" (very inituitive) not only can you rename the file & ext, you can also add comments, lock the file/folder and access permissions, from a single access point. OSX +1, gnome -1, win -1
acctualy the OSX system uses 2 buttons for most anything just like windows does (usualy a menu for the 2nd click) and I use a 4 button mouse (1 button on each side) for expose.. (to get good task switching with expose you need a mouse button for it, unless you somehow always have a hand on the keyboard and the mouse all the time
unless you use apple's pretty mac mouse
I can't even keep a comment moded above zero on slashdot, but this guys rant about Mac / linux and he's front page story material? sheesh i guess i'm just undershooting.
all the people on here say the pilots have it hard? 12 hours of work? phhhh join the military!, as a marine my normal day is 12 hrs, and its 10x harder than any job listed in that mess.. the country as a whole depened on people like me to do the job to, so if thats not enough stress-level for you i dont know what is. note, just because Bush gets $xBillion for "military/Iraq" purposes, doesn't mean the people in the military see a dime, yay... I'll be voting next election for sure"
everyone on here will pledge to the death OpenSource is better, but when they finaly make a new kernel, boy does everyone jump out of the way! then you hear the 'if it aint broke . dont fix it' from 75% of the users, funny stuff.. OpenSource is great, but when the projects forked into a million distros and you dont even know if you can download the main piece of gear for your OpSys because maybe , somewhere in that mess, someone has a kenerl version check or something.. maybe someone will fix the mess one day and we can all use linux:D

Presenting The CDR-ROM
·
· Score: 1
just wait til they make your cd-r leave a footprint on the cd after you install it, then it comes up with the message "You cant install this anymore" or "You cannot install this on another machine" after re-formatting.. theres gonna be a boom on the regular CDROM market when this thing happens..
why do you have to get linux running on everything! geez, you think MS is bad.. MS doesn't go out of there way to make xp run on an ipod, and a guitar, and other crap that just has no friggin point! if you guys used all the time you waste on making stupid shiz like that linux would be by far better than it is!
