    1. Claim some people stole your code. 2. Show unrelated code. 3. ??? 4. Profit ! There is something fscked up in this economic system.

    Are you kidding ? They are working hard on TF2.

  4. Re:What about OpenGL? on Half-Life 2, ATI, NVIDIA, and a Sack of Cash · · Score: 1
    Besides, many people use linux because it is free/cheap. That's exactly the sort of people who would make illegal copies of the titles you publish.
    Don't you think those people can put the money they saved by not buying Windows in games ?
  5. Things changes on Half-Life 2, ATI, NVIDIA, and a Sack of Cash · · Score: 1
    NVidia released this response, essentially claiming that their new drivers, that were available to Valve at the time of their press conference, would make for vast, legitimate performance improvements.
    When I bought my PC some years ago it was ATI who was making crappy drivers.
  6. Re:Belgian Beer !!! on Distro Taste Test - Linux and Beer · · Score: 1

    Wow, 20 varieties ! It seems you don't know the good places. I know some bars where they have *hundred(s?)* varieties. OK they are not all Belgian beers but most are.

  7. Re:Microsoft still doesn't get it on The Economist on Open Source in Government · · Score: 1

    May be this is the case for business but I hope governments care more about freedom than money. I know it seems strange to think that it is possible.

  10. Australian article on No Grand Theft Auto In Prison? · · Score: 1

    Wasn't Australia a British penal colony some times ago ? That would explain some things.

    Elevator to the moon ? mars ? other galaxies ?

  12. Re:Climate change? on Distributed Computing and Climate Change · · Score: 1
    Let's hope things won't go as bad as for mars or venus.
    Venus is virtually the same size as Earth and, on average, is our nearest neighbour. Today, its atmospheric temperatures are hot enough to melt lead and concentrated sulfuric acid continuously drizzles down from thick sulphurous clouds that completely block out the Sun.

    And does it run Linux ?

    There is also some kind of 3D Desktop but in fact it just switch virtual desktops like if they were 3D. See the gif animation to see what I mean. Still nice though.

  17. Re:WTF? on 3D File Manager on Linux Wins NSF Prize · · Score: 1

    As previous post explained, this is not really a file manager.

    In fact in my country (Belgium, but probably the same for most of the EU) you can probably (IANAL and I don't care about using guns) get in jail for using a gun if you don't have a license.

  19. Re:That structure looks unwieldly on 3D File Manager on Linux Wins NSF Prize · · Score: 3, Informative

    I must admit I still have to see a 3D file manager that is easier/faster to use than a "normal" one.

  20. Another Linux 3D file manager on 3D File Manager on Linux Wins NSF Prize · · Score: 5, Informative
    I just found another 3D File manager for Linux. From the page:

    There is someone on slashdot that has a link in its sig to a website that pays you for participating to their ditributed computing project. If he could show up may be he could tell you you are wrong.

    Thanks but the correct link is here. Would mod you up if I could.

  24. Re:glowbull warmongering on Distributed Computing and Climate Change · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I understand the joke but the fact is while USA represents a very small percentage of the world population, it is responsible for 20% of total CO2 emission in the world (pdf). CO2 is well known to contribute to global warming and some countries engaged themselfs to reduce their CO2 emission. But not the USA... This is going offtopic and it gives a negative point of view of US. Mod me down.

  25. Re:Global warming on Distributed Computing and Climate Change · · Score: 2, Insightful

    USA is said to be one of the country that contribute the more to global warming. Isn't it paradoxal that it's also the one that contribute the more to climate prediction ? http://cpdn.comlab.ox.ac.uk/map/index.html
