Please dear FSM, let it one day be able to transform...I don't really care into what, just transform! And have hooks for speakers for the awesome transformer sound!
The hates, it is beguns, in earnest, white-hot and seething, tending to a brooding, dark shade of green that shimmers as a...
Wait. Wha? Oh screw it. Lucky you.
I don't know anything about nor do I want any 'system'. I just want a large, interactive world for some occasional bouts. Like I do now with Call of Duty 2 (so I'm on a Mac). Fire it up, burn through a quick mission or two blasting away but still having to be careful regarding enemy fire and what not.
Me likey grindy.
OK, here's the deal. I want a game with a large world. Based on reality, as in cityscape, buildings with elevators and stairs, parks, sewer systems, etc. I want a buttload of zombies all over the place. Some slow, some fast, some as players. I want simple tasks: for example, when you start the game or login to a networked server, you get an address book from which you must determine who was your family. Then you must find those houses to determine if they're still human and savable or zombie fodder. The environment lends itself to being realistic with street signs, phone books, etc. There is a limited amount of ammo but the usual suspects: sports stores (meaning a mall or two), pawn shops, surplus stores etc. All there with what you'd expect but no interacting with merchants or whatever. It's melee time, baby!
Anyway, it'd always be interesting because your contacts would change but it's the interactive environment that'd be the grabber. It's throwaway gaming that is nevertheless challenging and not always exactly the same.
Throw in some ability to communicate with other players so there could be team ups or sabotage or backstabbing and I'd sign up.
I don't think everything on Linux has to be GPLed or FOSS. I'm willing to pay for software that has a reasonable price. Just make things available on Linux. Yes the underlying principle is to have everything developed a la the bazaar (actually started typing bizarre, quelle freudian eh?) and be open source so that everyone can participate and everyone benefit, but come on. This has got to be a major reason behind the lack of SERIOUS-yeah-we're-actually-getting-somewhere momentum with Linux on the desktop. Not everyone wants only free software, not everyone cares that the source code be available. Just make the price reasonable and the programs productive and the people will buy them and development will be funded and Bob's yer uncle.
In Kubuntu (KDE of course), I just use:
GParted
It appears in the K menu as Partition Editor. You select a partition, then click Partition (menu) > Format to > (selection).
That's GUI and pretty easy.
Use *anything* other than Linux. Note the biggest discount is Windows.
So, pay SCO only $299.00 for Linux. But stop using Linux. Hmmm, so why the $299? Move on.
Start using Windows.
And this helps SCO how? You're not using their products. Oh, but you paid $299 for a product (Linux) they claim infringes on something of theirs, but then stop using the allegedly infringing product.

Thinking back to the days of BBSes and hunting for that 8.3 grainy, twitchy 'special' clip, how does one 'do' pr0n via dialup?
just hit the article. High speed internet at work. Any dialups in the top 10 responding ever?
