Many Linux users simply dual boot if they want to play using Windows. We know how.
If a Linux version came out, we'd buy that one instead of the Windows one. So no net increase in sales. From the publishers perspective, should they spend money developing a Linux version when it won't increase sales? No.
Having said all of that, I'd play more games using Linux if Wine could get passed the bullcrap CD authenticating copy protection system that the publisher's use. I do not have the time to go out and find no-cd cracks just to enjoy a game.
The easiest system for me is when I've done all my useful stuff on my PC, including clearing my kids out of the room, then its reboot into Windows and enjoy. My kids are 4 and 5 and they boot into Ubuntu or Vista depending on what they want to do on the computer. Its second nature to them. My wife, on the other hand, sticks with Windows because she is used to it. The default on grub is vista because she wants Windows, but tends to walk out of the room during boot up.
My son had an anaphylactic reaction to penicillin. He is also allergic (but not as severe) to beef and egg whites, with sensitivities to grasses. My wife and I do not have any known allergies. My other son, has no allergies.
My inclination is that genetics have a small role with respect to allergies.
Parent is close, engineering is the application of science (not only physical science). Software coding is no different than specification writing or CAD drawing. These specific tasks (which are often performed by engineers) are the expression of the design ideas through a medium. Our drawings and specifications make things happen; so does software. You may make the arguement that the software is designed, indeed it is, according to the performance criteria established by an engineer. But the control software for a treatment plant is a different beast to web application. One is regulated as it pertains to public safety, whereas the other is not.
No. the sickest part was putting the tiger down because a human was stupid beyond belief and a zoo didn't build an enclosure to protect the public AND the tiger from stupid humans. The tiger deserved the tribute because it died because it behaved to its expected nature. The human was mauled because he was STUPID and the zoo was irresponsible.
You can blame the zoo and blame the human, but the the tiger was innocent - the tiger was the victim here. Do not loose sight of this fact.
Number 1 son has no allergies. Likewise my wife and I. Number 2 son is anaphalactic to penicillin. He also is allergic to beef (not dairy, though) and egg whites. The downside is now that he has had 2 anaphalactic reactions that required hospitalization (and epipens) that we have no idea what caused. We now read every label, home cook from scratch every night, and do not eat in restaurants. If it wasn't for lunch, I would never have a restaurant meal again. We are restricted in sauces, need to contact manufactuers to grill them (pun intended) about not only the unlisted contents of their foods, but also the nature of their production facilities. Many food companies are excellent and knowledgable, but many insist that the label tells all. We've learned to bake almost anything without eggs, learned how to cook with everthing fresh, and learned how little we can trust pre-made or pre-cooked foods.
On the upside, I'm sure its doing me a lot of good, although my caloric intake is too high, and my amount of excercise is too low. Home-made bread is just too good!
Schools are funded from the public purse. They should exclude any religious teachings. If you want your kid to go to a religious-based school, go ahead. But, you pay for it yourself AND you should stil fund the public system. Religious indoctrination should be separate from education, just as knowledge is separate from belief. The two can peacefully coexist, once you are intelligent enough to differentiate between the two.
Believe in what ever you wish, but don't expect an education system to put forth any opinion that has no basis in fact. Its bad enough with the one-sided view of history that is currently taught . . .
My father-in law has Alzheimer's. Long-term memory is relatively ok, for a person of his age. But its short-term memory that is the worst. He can recall his childhood, but can't recognize his grandchildren. He mistakes his daughters for his wife, as his daughters remind him of what his wife looked like when they were young.
He can't remember what he had for lunch, or if he had lunch.
Give me short-term memory and functionality over long term memory any day.
Long term memory is useful when you can compare it to today's world, but utterly useless to find your room, remember to drink water, or take your meds, or celebrate birthdays, holidays, or being able to identify your family.
Currently, he can recognize himself in a photo or a mirror about 8 out of 10 times. Scary? You bet. Any all his brothers and sisters had it. All my mother-in-law's family died from it or cancer. My wife is rather concerned, so we follow Alzheimer's research VERY closely.
Not to many cheap colour 36" wide laser printers.
Our wide-format work HP plotter is irreplaceable for doing e-size colour plots, including photographs for public presentations.
Our main office used a wide format laser for B&W work, but not for colour. And that printer is over $120!. Our colour plotter is only about $2k
If the image is altered prior to the image being declared evidence, then it is not illegal.
wiping your fingerprints from a glass is not illegal, unless the authorities have already tagged the glass as evidence.
Except it wasn't the first design for non-insect flying animals.
Pterosaurs preceeding flying dinosaurs by 75 million years. Pterosaurs were single winged and enormously successful.
Modern birds evolved from the first flying dinosaurs, not from Pterosaurs, although Pterosaurs and dinosaurs had a common ancestor.
There are 4 independant times flight evolved: Insects, pterosaurs, birds, and mammals. 4 different wing structures developed, and in the latter 3 cases, 3 different bone arrangments to support the wings.

Actually, I laughed out loud when I saw the tag "sleepingwiththephishes" now THAT's funny. But hand over your cache is good, too.

I believe he said transmission and conversion. Your statement for transmission losses did not include conversion.

Sorry, lost you there.
You mentioned hockey and Toronto in the same sentence.
We don't consider Toronto a real team.
Go Sens!
Complicated and heavier than air like a helicopter?

I could be wrong, but Silkroad appears to be the highest ranked game that is free to play.
Actually, that's correct usage - at least in the U.S.
If they can't spell honour correctly, why should I trust "them" ?
is that lots of people are going to suffer and die, and lots of money will be spent, usually with detrimental results to all parties involved.
Yep. Those original 13 colonies are still licking their wounds.
Look at this way, everyone that took part in that war. That's 100% mortality, mate.
Every time I see "Extra solar planet" I envision a planet with more than one sun.
I mean "extra salt" = more salt, right ?
Ha!
I remember reading that years ago and I laughed out loud again.
You may take credit for the tea now running beneath my keyboard keys.
Hmmmmm
Hand? check.
eye? check.
Nope. My DM's guide does not include the "Teddy Bear Head of Vecna"
Must be the NEW version of D&D.
Note that the survey did not ask for multi-core CPUs but rather the number of physical CPUs.
I didn't realize that so many people had multiple CPU machines - over 20%!
Harry is better than Phil, anyway.
