Why do people keep saying that??? No. The score is any music created specifically for a game/movie. The soundtrack is merely what music was used in the movie/game. A soundtrack can contain just the score, licensed music and the score, or just the licensed stuff. Some movies will release a seperate licensed/"inspired by" soundtrack and a score only soundtrack, but they're both soundtracks.
I know Pixar pretty much writes all their software themselves, but I wonder what the other guys are using? Are they just using Pixar's stuff, writing their own...or are they actually using stuff like Blender, Cinepaint, and Cinelerra???
nope.... Soundtrack simply means music used in the game/movie. It can be either score or licensed...you just see the licensed stuff more often in stores.
That's not the problem... That music is fine for a "licensed video game music" category...but we'd all much rather see actual video game scores nominated. Nominating those soundtracks is like nominating the NOW CDs and other compilations... When you see best soundtrack at the Oscars, they're talking about original music made specifically for that movie...but then again, Mtv's not that credible of a source for anything these days:P
that's when you click on the tool and have it roll-up till you need it again, or even better like PSP7 does, auto roll-up when your cursor isn't over it;)
Heh...your boss might not be too happy with you if you did anyway;) If wine was easy for the average person to setup, Code Weavers probably wouldn't be selling as many copies of CO...
Well, on my Gentoo machine after i did an "emerge wine" there were no signs of it even being there. There were no desktop additions; I stick in a Windows CD and it still doesn't recognize what an.exe is. Even typing "wine" at the command line gives no result. Should I look up some tutorials and stuff on this? Yeah...probably so. Should I have to? No. And that's my point;)
Mine wasn't modded up, that's just my Karma bonus;)...don't worry though, hopefully some decent mods will come through soon and correct yours. If not, who cares really?
Well, I've had this problem under both Gnome and WinXP. This shouldn't be a plugin situation, it should be built in, having to go down to the taskbar to switch tools is a pain.
Seriously, Inkscape is by far the best open source graphics program I've used yet. As others have already stated, it's a vector program, so it replaces stuff like Illustrator, Freehand, and Corel Draw;)
You may have to buy a copy of Crossover Office. It's basically the pay version of wine, but luckily you get tech support to help you get it actually running;)
If you were trying to run a 3D game or something, you may not have had the proper drivers installed to run it well. The only open source drivers for nVidia and ATI cards are pretty poor in the 3D dept, and these are the only ones that come with most distros by default. You'll have to use the proprietary drivers for decent performance.
Aww...I'm disappointed now. I thought they were finally gonna make it easy to install WINE itself under Linux... Maybe they'll put it out as an autopackage? But then again, it probably needs system integration:/ When a new Linux user can click an icon or something that says "install wine" and then it's ready to use without jumping through hoops, Just Works[tm] style...that's when Wine will be actually worth while.
I don't see why this got modded down. Not only is it a nice reference, and funny...but true. I thought pretty much the same thing when I heard it the first time. I've been putting it on some of my users' machines lately, but I make sure to call it "The GNU Image Manipulation Program" to help keep the confusion down. The Gimp is not a very professional name;)
Agreed. Inkscape was a breath of fresh air after trying to use most other open source art tools. Now if only someone would overhaul the GIMP' UI to be more intuitive too (and no, I don't want a PhotoShop clone);)
Don't like Blender's interface? Try K-3D (GTK based, nothing to do with KDE). It's still kind of early along, but it's interface is alot more like Maya and Max's.

;) Too bad they don't have a direct download (like steam) option...
Probably the best suggestion anyone's made
it was about 6 months ago. Thanks for the help and all, but I'll look up some how-to's or something when I feel like messing with it again. ;)
...well by that definition I grew out of it when I turned 14 ;P

Mtv was never perfect...but it's quality really died out around 1996 or so...

Yeah, I'm still using PaintShop Pro 7, haven't tried 8 or 9.

Hey, it may not be very accurate, but it sure is damn entertaining ;)

Two Thumbs up! Inkscape Rocks! ..and all of that :P

That's the attitude that keeps most non-Linux users from ever switching. Thanks a lot for helping the cause Ass...

What if you hate Photoshop's interface too? Anybody want to work on a GimpShopPro or something ;)
