As an example of just how bad it is, a single rogue character can finish the game in about 30 mins with very little levelling up; all sneaking outside of combat is 'take 20'.
I must agree that sucks. Take 20 on sneaking should _not_ be allowed....
I'm actually a big Linux user/linux zealot (whatever) but i see a lot of problems that has to be solved if Linux is going to hit the big market.... </stereotype> And so on...
It's getting quite repetetive seeing people say the same thing over and over again.
can consistently reproduce cut/paste problems all the time on various Linux distros and between various apps.
And i can fly? If you say you can prove it, do so as well.
I can only say that i've never had any problems with cut & paste even in my current enlightenment system which is a mix between apps that use GTK+, QT, TCL/Tk and many other things. It just simply works.
Even though a car isn't a lifestyle for most people, they still have to learn basic stuff like how to refill gas, how to drive according to traffic rules and such. It's the same thing with computers, you have to learn some basic things.
Those that say they review ALL code before compiling for security (backdoors, holes etc) problems are probably lying. I am sure there are a couple people who do.
I doubt there is anyone who's able to do that. Some software consists of several megabytes of code. I just isn't possible to find bugs in that amount of code (if you haven't actually written the code yourself) in a reasonable amount of time.
I wouldn't agree that you need a broadband connection. I installed Gentoo on a dial-up connection. The downloading of the packages took quite some time, but after that, it's a lot less work than any other distribution i can think of.
The important difference here is that both HTML and VB uses visual design for something that you actually can see with your eyes. What, for example, a web server does in the background is not visible for your eyes with the exception of using logs.
Design logic with logic and visual elements with visual elements.
When I write software, it is frequently because I am taking a "break" from other totally creative pursuits.
In what way is programming not "creative"? You create something therefore it's creative, though not artistic.
The only requirement is that if you use the $0.00 license(GPL) the app must be GPL. It really isn't much to ask.
You don't have to use GPL, you just have to use a compatible license, not necessarily GPL.
Seriously, playing against AI is more fun than playing against humans because single-player games most of the time actually follows a story. Mulitplayer games tend to be rather repetetive.
How are multiple names more user friendly than one single? I mean, what would be easier if the browser had the same name on all platforms? Then users would know "Oh, there's Firefox!".
Barriers or not, this is how OSS works and probably always will work. Speed of changes? Well, it's called development and there really is no reason to hold back patches or something.
Informal support? Yeah, it's developed by a community, what were you expecting?
No roadmap? That's because OSS product are not marketed and does not intend to be.
It's developed by a community, and the community definately won't try to suit companies just for OSS to suceed on the corporate side as that's not the goal of OSS.
That's like saying:
- Hey can i watch what you're doing?
- Yeah why not.
- Cool.
- You frickin' spy! You're watching me!
Spyware is software studying what you're doing without telling you about it. You're actaully asked if you want popcon to be installed.

Don't you people have other things to say than:
<stereotype>
Oh, here goes my karma but anyway.

Oh please... how often didn't we see that in let's say Win 9x and it was still considered user friendly.

Imagine a beowulf cluster of those! (well someone had to, honestly)
Or you could just download MPlayer and not even smell a single icon but still play almost every format you will ever come across :)
A lot of the porn on the net is _not_ natural.

I think you have just picked up the question nobody really knows the answer to :)

From my experience, package versions tend to segfault more often than those compiled from source on your own computer.
I wouldn't agree that you need a broadband connection. I installed Gentoo on a dial-up connection. The downloading of the packages took quite some time, but after that, it's a lot less work than any other distribution i can think of.
It's fun anyway :)
Okay. Let's put aside the silly "Microsoft is Evil" stuff for a minute
But Microsoft is evil!

But we don't have to reboot, seriously.

How does LinuxBIOS affect the BIOS setup? Can i still overclock my CPU, change AGP settings and such?
What kind of weird are you?!?!? o_O :)
