The games that will follow using the Doom3 engine will be heavier then Doom3 itself, as they will not be focusing on optimizing the content. Just look at the past: Half life was heavier then Quake II, Alice heavier than Quake3, etc.
Well, in fact, Quake III required OpenGL. I remember to run it at home before having a 3D card. Mesa (an OpenGL implementation) rendered a nice slideshow, at ~2 frames per second:P
Doom II had the same engine as Doom I. Quake had no 3D acceleration (tought later glQuake was released). Quake II had software rendering and 3D acceleration was an option. Quake III was the first id game that required 3D acceleration.
That's funny. I have used many (mirabilis, miranda, trillian, gaim, ayttm, eb-lite, center-icq, bitlbee) IM programs, and by far mICQ has the most comfortable user interface. The only problem is that it's ICQ-only, and nowadays many people are only on msn, so I had to switch. My choice now: SIM.
No. Miranda is by far the best on Windows. But I run only Linux at home, so which ICQ client I'll use? First I tried gaim, didn't like it's interface. Then both forks of everybuddy: ayttm and eb-lite. Still unsatisfied. I was missing a linux port of Miranda..
Then a non-geek friend of mine told me about SIM. Still not perfect, but I found it to be better then the alternatives, and closer to the Miranda approach (plugin-based, and a lean interface).
I tried gaim, but I didn't like the interface. Back when I used Windows at work, I was using Miranda, which is the best FOSS for Windows I've seen (Firefox doesn't count). Now I'm using SIM, (based on Qt, but can be compiled without KDE), and works for Linux and Windows. Not as perfect as Miranda, but I'm pretty satisfied, and it's light and modular.
No, it's not. It's just different semantics. The dot does not play the decimal point role, it's just a number separator. The complete release "number" is not a math (floating point) number, it's composed by some integer numbers, and sometime letters, separated by the dot.
We do need more than 10 distros, just as we need many languages. The best for you is not the best for me, as there are thousand ways to use Linux for, and each distro can be better for a specific need. There are distros good for low resource computers, others for embeded systems, others for firewalls and simple servers, others for the end-users migrating from Windows, others that compiles everything from source, etc.
I, for one, prefer Slackware: it's simpler, and it makes it easier (for me!) to maintain.
Google leave us with no real need for something better on searching the web. But we need a Free search engine, so we don't depend on any big corporation to run our lives, and P2P is the way to overcome the huge cost of running a single system to serve the whole Internet.
That reminds me of a nice werewolf movie from the 80's: silver bullet. The main character was a paralytic boy, and his uncle makes him a powerful 'wellchair'.

True.

it's nice to have karma to burn.
two less points with a double -1 offtopic, here it comes!
just let it die a slow and painfull death.

Neither for "A".
Duh.
So many cool techs.. great!
But if it doesn't turn out to make (or save) money, it will go nowhere.

Why don't the editors post a torrent link instead of direct link to a 30MB file. /. effect?
/. before being posted, but I wouldn't ask <sarcasm>that much</sarcasm>.

Of course I still think each website should be mirrored by
No KDE nor Gnome here. Thanks, but no thanks, I don't want unecessary bloat.
SIM is KDE by default, but can be compiled with Qt only.
That's funny.

is there a way to join two nanotubes?
if so, we could start 112 procceses, and get there in one year.
skydiving is a cheaper way of obtaining a similar experience. The primary difference with skydiving is the lack of walls.
What about the wind?
Tried neither, but seems that sould be very different..

Even geekier is bitlbee, an irc gateway to aim/msn/icq/jabber, based on gaim IM code.

Security holes would certainly get fixed faster than other less important bugs..
That's true, but being open source the holes would get fixed in few hours.
Exactly.
I heard rumors the Palito team is going to re-activate their Free TA-inspired (not clone) project soon...
