Well, for one, few people know about it. I've heard one kid say something about how Microsoft may be a monopoly, but they're the only ones who make "that", meaning desktop operating system. Quite ironic, no?
Does the average Joe know how to install the drivers, or even how to turn off X so the drivers can be installed?
Also, ati and Nvidia haven't released open source drivers. It would be so much easier for the average person if the kernel could come with those video drivers already loaded in.
Obviously, we've all heard about UT2003/2004, Neverwinter Nights, and the upcoming Doom III (id Software usually supports Linux well, yay them!)
Even the US gov't is jumping aboard with America's Army (as well as support for Mac).
Linux is growing, and needs to grow more and more in regards to users, so we can get better game AND hardware support. I know some people think this Linux vs. Windows war is kind of silly, but until Linux grows to the point where it's recognizable by the average user we'll still be left out in the cold in many regards (such as, of course, games and hardware).
I admit, I myself still have Windows installed. How else can I play many games? Wine doesn't want to work on my computer, and it's not perfect anyway.
Yes, it's very possible they were underclocked for compatibility reasons. But I doubt they would've gotten a freak chip that could handle so much... I'm sure if that one could get so high, others could get high too (maybe not as high, but still high).
That's the point. The article apparently claims that it remained stable at over an additional 100%. Now, not all processors are alike, but if one of those can handle up to that, shouldn't others be able to handle a fairly good amount of overclocking as well?
If you can overclock it so much with a noticeable performance, then why didn't Sega set it like that already, if it's so stable? Certainly it would have given them an edge...
Pushing a 7.6 --> 16MHz is over 100% more than the original! I have yet to see most people get anywhere near that on normal processors.
Average Joe doesn't have any idea what encryption is or why it's important. Average Joe just wants to point, click, and buy. Hell, I rarely pay attention to it.
Isn't it more likely that people were suckered in not because of the SSL trick but rather simply from "scam" or mimic pages instead?
If a doctor screws up, they pay the price. If a doctor won't serve you because you've sued someone in the past for malpractice (and won), what does that say about the doctor?
Although this is slightly irrelevent, my grandmother was given bad medication from a doctor that conflicted with her other medication. She was in the hostipal for quite awhile and is still recovering. We didn't sue because apparently we wouldn't get anything out of it, because she's on Medicaid or medicare or whatever. I don't know what action my mom is taking, or if he's right about the lawsuit deal, but eh.
This is a good thing for patients. If a doctor needs to check if you've had a record dealing with bad doctors, then he probably sucks (and knows it) too.
Why don't you get a converter that allows you to use the car-charging port on a normal wall outlet? My dad has one, I've used it with my gameboy before. Not sure how much they cost, though.
You still haven't explained this magical "intuition" power. Just because you've been working on something the wrong way doesn't mean some magical "intuition force" is a part of it. After taking a break you usually are more relaxed and can think more clearly. I've never been pathetic enough to blame my insights on anything other than the part of normal, rational decision making.
Again, have you ever taken a physics class? Even the most basic things challenge your preconceived notions, it's why you should not rely on them.
What the hell does that have to do with intuition? I can't think when I'm tired, either, it's the same principle. You really are struggling to keep your fanastical beliefs... no amount of rational discussion will sway you-- you're a lost cause.

You'll have to to take one of those crap sites like I did... sorry, no Torrent I could find.

A significant userbase to market to to justify the time spent on porting to Linux, for starters?
Spread the word.

How is this a troll? I'm trying to help people! It's what I use myself!
Having been there once myself, I fully agree. *shudder*

--no-verify-rpm prevents those useless and annoying signature error warnings, so you don't have to keep hitting "y" to accept.
correction: make that "--auto-select"
command is urpmi --autoselect --no-verify-rpm --auto

For a second I thought it was talking about that god-awful web server.
I only respect rational ideas.
