On that note it is also possible that they did it on purpose to grab few more headlines and attract new players to a game where the player base is much less than was initialy expected. Timing is also interesting, early summer...
google howto, looks like fun, I'm a little busy scripting for something else (different app) or I'd look to join you, I really need to look at XUL (and XML for that matter), I am comfortable with HTML, CSS and Javascript and a few non-web languages but otherwise I've had next to no experience with XUL. Shouldn't be too hard to learn and would definately be worthwhile I am just too busy right now, so have fun.:)
my understanding is that if you donate, you can reduce your taxes by that amount, so essentially you pay the intrest only (ie opportunity cost of not donating)
[begin rant] I got that game for windows shortly (a few months) after it came out and it was very buggy, make sure it is all patched up, but yah it is most likely a WineX problem, or possibly a MS problem where Infogrames used hacks to make it work in the first place-wouldn't suprise me based on the way the game first looked. [escalate rant] My biggest complaint is that they really needed to use some other data structures for things, it was barely playable (on bigger maps) at/near the minimum specs-450MHz CPU, keep in mind this is NOT an RT type game, or something that should need incredible CPU power just to run, sure it has good AI, but still...[end rant] Well have fun. I want some major, good, up to date games for Linux (see not completely offtopic), seems World of Warcraft would be a good canidate as Blizzard is releasing a Mac version ?at the same time? as the Windows version.
You sir, are as ignorant as the Americans you profess to understand. Now I know Europe does not consist solely of France, Germany, and Amsterdam (J/K) but for sake of argument I refer to them the most.
1. Well yes I do have a gun I suppose, about 2 yards (or meters, which I'll admit is a much better system) away in fact, but most Americans don't own guns, besides watch (a film maker some in Europe seem to idolize despite his repeated omission of the truth in his films, and his apples to oranges comparisons) Mr. Moore's Bowling for Columbine, which is a bunch of FUD in many regards but does make the point that, per capita, many other countries have much more personal weaponry, ie Canada. Plus we might have less crime if we lived by the same laws as countries like the Netherlands(the one the article is about)...pot, prostitution...in the extreme case we have much, much more crime than places like Somolia, it's all in how you define it, though I moved back to a city recently and started using locks again when I leave, for a year or so I never locked my door.
2. America is not the worst wrt obesity, though it is rather embarrassingly bad, as are most non-Asian modern societies. I, for one, am 6 foot 1 and weigh about 165 or so lbs, so by no means am I obese, in fact most people I know, or see on the streets aren't obese.
3. Have to admit some elements of society do behave this way, I refer to them as middle school aged males, by no means representative of the average American, though, unfortunately they are rather vocal.
4. This is so far off that I don't know where to begin, yes the media likes to find the stupidest people it can and show them making fools of themselves, this is for entertainment value, we, as Americans, laugh at these man on the street, interviews as they are funny, because, and you guessed it, many of us do in fact have some knowledge of the outside world.
5. Yeah, you're right, I guess the US economy sure is in shambles, esp. as compared to France, Germany, or Russia. The truth is the US Constitution serves its purpose, and does protect a level of freedom of speech not seen elsewhere in the world, France: Oh no a swastika, cover your eyes! Make it go away, I fear my history!...Encryption, why would you need that?...I know, lets ban headscarfs from schools!... etc, etc... So this AC thing which you are using on this American based/oriented/operated websitedoes what exactly, (I think it records IP or something as one cannot mod their own AC post immediatly, I'll be looking into and likely complaining about this though, I do agree with not letting people mod their own posts)
6. The USA doesn't produce many decent quality products, right... yeah slashdot sucks, heck the internet..worthless...in all likelihood most of the parts in your computer were designed in America or Canada, though admittedly, likely built elsewhere.
7. OK this is not true at all, dang media. In your list you have the gun totting Americans and the shrink visiting Americans as one, whereas in reality the two groups are rather small, and very much mutually exclusive (ignore what television and the Sopranos indicate, which again is funny because it makes no sense and is so far off base and unlikely).
8. I Hardly watch TV, save my Sunday cartoons, heck, for over a year I didn't even have one in my home, too much of a no benefit timesink...kind of like slashdot, so on that note I say good day.
correct me if I'm wrong but didn't it used to be, before the govt. started trying to push people inwards, wrt the country in question (the netherlands) I'm afraid we have no such excuses.
like repeatedly showing the same 30 minute sitcom episode over and over with out stop at a moderately loud volume.
Instead of a sitcom, show users opening inboxes full of spam, hold his eyes open, and force him to listen to music which he otherwise liked and drew a perverse pleasure from, just before sending out spam, after a week or two release him to society where he cowers in fear at the mere sight of an email box...he returns to his parent's house where he is shunned, his buddies spam the heck out of him, and some crazy libertarian he spammed mercilessly before could take him in and rehabilitate him...
Also anyone else notice how popsci's future predictions are rarely remotely accurate, as opposed to SciAm? Also these techs are not new ideas by any means, heck super cavicating torpedos have been around for years, admittedly they don't steer but they go faster than sound so steering to track a target probably isn't that importantant. The rods from space/lasers were key components of the star wars program. The gun's been around for a while too, though also its concept is nothing new. I seem to recall that bricks were droped from airplanes (followed shortly by explosives) during some greco-turk or italian-turk or some war in that area in the early 20th century.
While I agree you are probably right, but the article does use the word "demo" probably in the file name so I could see how its possible for a very stupid person to honestly think the file was legit and not illegal to download.
I feel that MS shouldn't charge so much for admittance into its OS public betas, (like 150$ -one time admittance fee- for the WinXP-Pro Public Beta that started a few years ago and it's still in development!)
Two days or so (can't even remember when:) ) after I repartion my drives for a new linux install, this in and of itself is not a big deal as I haven't done too much since, so going back a few days isn't too bad...unless my linux distro was gentoo and having no desire to recompile/manually configure everything I think I'm happy for now.

No I was commenting that mine should be offtopic logically follow the others, all I got was a couple of lousy 'overrated' s :(

yeah radiosity, good idea, so how many comps for 20 fps then? One should be able to cache the shadows on the inanimate objects though.
sadly XP, while also cartoony (has growen on me despite using a differeny XP theme for a while there), looks far better than this.

I think you've posted to the wrong article: here Bioterrorism Charges Brought Against Professor
my understanding is that if you donate, you can reduce your taxes by that amount, so essentially you pay the intrest only (ie opportunity cost of not donating)
so if I buy software I have to pay more taxes, but if I donate to a free software org I pay less taxes... hmmmm, do I understand this correctly?

You call that a slashdotting? You should be ashamed.
