I'm in a Facebook group against safari park hunting, pro-animal rescuing (think animal shelter and adoption) and freedom to all the animals in meat factories and fur farms.
Now I don't know whatever they are active but I'm sure at least the later count as "terrorism" by some.
The actual Steam controller will come from Steam and was announced together with SteamOS so I'd say you can be 100% sure the Steam controller will be supported in SteamOS.
Also the Xbox 360 controller is what most people use and while I don't know whatever the drivers work exactly the same at least it should work in Linux too.
Personally I would want to use the Xbox One controller since I think it feels awesome, I just wish it was like 10-15% bigger.
As for FPS one solution is of course to not play them on the TV. Personally I'd want good immersion for such a game I believe so hence really big screen or sit closer. What I want is one of those 34" 21:9 screens but with IPS and Adaptive-Sync (higher refresh rate support would be nice too.)
I also thought about a controller of my own, which would be similar to the analogue joystick of the Wii but possibly with a flat stick or a indented ball design similar to a track ball but with springs together with some buttons for the rest of the fingers.
The idea was to combine that with the mouse for analogue stick + mouse gaming where the mouse do the aiming.
Why? Because there's some response time for key board presses and you can't say "walk forward and strafe a little", it's either on or off.
So obviously analogue is much better. (I hate trying to play platform games with keyboard. Likely worse than old digital joysticks.)
The disadvantages with the game pads vs mouse is likely that the mouse is more accurate. And the combination of keyboard + mouse gives you a hell of a lot of buttons but I'd be ok with ditching that.
Reminds me Razer had some weird controller? Was it supposed to replace the mouse or complement the mouse? Maybe that's what I'm looking for? =P
Others have already mentioned Retrovirus (which look quite much like Descent): http://store.steampowered.com/... (Damn that was expensive, guess I saw it in some cheapish bundle.)
Am I the only one who finds this article comparing terrorist orginizations to (US) corporations darkly humorous?... Maybe I just haven't had enough coffee this morning.
Now if you compared them to US defence corporations?;D
I hated religion, history, geography and languages in school (not the later at first, guess that came when I had started to be worse at them, lately I find it more useful of knowing some about the former than I did back then.)
As for math, formulas and such I have often had a feeling I could get by / solve the questions on logic rather than knowledge.
So maybe math just isn't for them (or they have just been taught the wrong way to be able to handle it) but that they are better at repeating than solving. And maybe I'm better at solving but worse at just holding facts (maybe rules of languages aren't logical enough? Or I've just been uninterested.)
I saw some TV-show about Asian education and they worried because they had plenty of well-schooled children but as they said it didn't got any Nobel prizes. So possibly those children had been taught to listen and pick up information but not necessarily solve problems and think for themselves. But then again some people argue that's just bullshit and that you do become better at figuring out solutions to problems you hadn't encountered if you are better schooled. Guess they don't necessarily counter each other out.
What I really wanted to say though is that I have no idea how good people are at math in South America or Turkey so I think it was a weird measurement / thing to compare with. I have no idea why people in Turkey and South America necessarily should be worse in math than people in the US.
I have an Internet connection and have installed OpenBSD multiple times using just a single floppy disc.
But yeah, there was other solutions too. I don't remember whatever it was obvious how limited the live discs was.
Google download fedora: http://fedoraproject.org/en_GB... Only live CD listed there, doesn't mention anything about the installer being crippled and limit your options.
Formats have both the DVD and Network Install CDs which imho is more useful, both of these likely work but since none of the limits of the previous is clearly stated I don't really see why one would go there if one didn't knew that was what one wanted. I have no real need for all the packages on the installation media and if I'm going to burn a CD anyway given a choice about network installer only or installer with a live copy of the OS I may pick the later because that give me a functioning machine now (and the number of MBs downloaded is close to completely irrelevant to me.)
Here the live CDs clearly state they are installed as is and can't be upgraded: http://software.opensuse.org/1... And that the DVD and Network mediums are suitable for installation.
Not a fan. I kinda thought the community / amount of packages for Fedora would be bigger than for opensuse but that didn't seemed to be the case. Of course Ubuntu may be even better in that regard.
Also at least opensuse had the decency to not listen on global traffic in sshd even though it was running there too.
Now it may be because I'm coming from the BSDs but I don't really see why shit (especially remote connectivity stuff) should be enabled by default at all and even less so on something used by desktop users. We have all these live CDs with users and passwords like live/live and root/root and so on and that become a great combination! As long as it's only local it may not matter much at all.
On the other hand I guess I'm lazy and since I am a desktop user I kinda prefer if I don't have to look up how to get sound and X working but I'm ok with that not being the case too. Linus obviously was very frustrated when opensuse didn't let his daughter (?) add the school printer and change the date (?) without the root password. I don't really think it's all that weird but yeah it may be allowed in Windows.
Humble bundle had a bundle with Tower of Guns (http://store.steampowered.com/app/266110/) and that is a game where you travel.. a gun tower? with a somewhat random selection of gun + skill to begin with and then some randomness in extra abilities to your gun, level design and enemies and go shooting guns.
Now the guns could probably had been anything and the game is likely about how you move and shoot possibly considering the option in hand.
There's likely no pissing on hoes or weirdly proportioned nude females in it. But you, your gun and things to shoot at.
Mature? I don't know. It's an FPS which seem to be all about shooting on things.
We're down to number 4. Say we dropped from number 1 in 2010.
Our 9,50 on a scale 1-10 where the USA is 8,11 is still likely decent.
Supposedly 8-10 is a working democracy.. So the US is pushing the limit but still on the right side of the line.
I'm "poor" too. I have never done it (Guess I'm leftish too, thing is I don't ignore how my actions affect others I suppose.)
Since Stockholm is bigger than at least the other cities in Sweden it cost a bit more for a months access to the subway network than buses here. I totally have nothing against it being free if we decided it should be free but I do have something against some people simply deciding they don't have to pay while others obviously do.
Just because you're the biggest jerk around shouldn't mean you get privileges.
Slashdot Mirror
Just because it's simplistic doesn't make it different, better or new.
Or well, guess they had "crap on a separate screen" if that make it any better somehow.
In Workbench I had some stuff in one screen and other things in other screens. Guess you was free to call your program a "tool" if you wanted too..
But how much news was it?
Things I remember from some page I read:
* Changed font from Lucida to Helvetica (likely super huge for Apple people though.)
* Somewhat transparent windows.
* Also dark!
* Calendar information in the notifications.
* View SMS and calls (from where I have no idea because I didn't really view read it.)
Yay!! Super exciting.
I guess if one was there and a developer they may also have talked about something which affected developers.
I kinda feel it was five years since I heard about the OpenPandora?
Why should I care now?
Better than nothing.

The game I'm thinking off though is Strike vector:

This was in the $10(?) third tier in the Humble Daily Flying Bundle.
Personally I've never enjoyed Descent even though it looked cool. Just annoying.
This game however looked cool, fun and somewhat new.
(I have no idea whatever it's possible to move around upside down in natural selection, isn't shown here at least: http://store.steampowered.com/...)
Am I the only one who finds this article comparing terrorist orginizations to (US) corporations darkly humorous? ... Maybe I just haven't had enough coffee this morning.
Now if you compared them to US defence corporations? ;D
Bunch of games have controller support and the steam controller should take care of many of the rest.
So how do US kids do vs Russian or Chinese kids in math?
I guess they are my opposite.

How long before the sexual harassment claims?
Yours was the first which reflected over her sex. Good work. Great way of raising a point.
Why do they need three products really?
Now the default installer just seem to dump whatever is on the media you install from onto your hard-drive.
Of course that's not going to fit everyone.
But is it really better to make three different kinds of such media rather than let the person doing the install pick what to install? ..
Maybe some basic ideologies make it inefficient to pick among some "schemes" (mostly security related?) to start with?
Humble bundle had a bundle with Tower of Guns (http://store.steampowered.com/app/266110/) and that is a game where you travel .. a gun tower? with a somewhat random selection of gun + skill to begin with and then some randomness in extra abilities to your gun, level design and enemies and go shooting guns.

Just because you're the biggest jerk around shouldn't mean you get privileges.
Since the i* think it's sound to:
1) enable sshd
2) let sshd listen to traffic from everywhere
3) allow root logins over ssh
4) (using password)
by default I think this is a good change.
Now where that should still remain the default? ..
Hopefully definitely not on desktop at least. But who knows?
That was all the could find at least ;D
