Not sure how you obtain blender - but if you nab the pre-build binaries (they run from wherever you extract them and store stuff in ~/.blender) they come with a mesaGL binary that does not require hardware OpenGL support. Debian has a seperate package for this as well, but I think Fedora only ships the "normal" binary.
It can be a bit slow in complex scenes, but that's only at the UI level. The render output is the same, and now that nouveau supports OpenCL you will probably be able to continue to use the graphics card for render acceleration (example, Lux built with OpenCL support)
Rather it seems we have to have special whole new laws because "via the internet" or "with a computer" needs to be tacked on. I'd say this is the larger problem.
How does that apply? A foreign government can't just enter the sovereign territory of another and take your shit - not without treaties or other arrangements.
What you speak of would be exercised by my own government.
No, the other way around. I'm saying it might be OK if it was all on the screen, but if the guy in the library was doing it himself, then THAT would cause trouble.
Because allowing him to watch it is an exercise in free speech or something, that can be argued to be protected (what the whole story is about). Whipping it out and going "to work" would run afoul of indecent exposure or other such statutes.
I don't think they would go after you for such a thing - only if you were being abusive in another way. This would give them some ammo to flip the switch on you.
I think you're missed something. 1% of a $60 is $0.60. That money is supposed to go to programs etc to help with those objectives - not be a deterrent.
Agreed. Myself, I think it would be better to just reserve the space for future use, giving us plenty of expansion room without having to increase the word size (utf8 to utf16 to utf32) - instead of just filling the section up with nonsense.
And so we come back to the original point. They do. - where do you think these Indy games are coming from? Thin air? Someone is creating them, and they are doing well for themselves. Linux has been around for a long time, yes... but if you think Linux was ready for anything approaching mainstream entertainment in the early 1990s, you're delusional.
It's only recently started to be ready enough, and it's starting to attract the attention. If things keep up the way they are, then either we'll see some of these small companies/teams grow, or some of the existing Big Boys to start paying attention.
How are we supposed to have such examples when nobody who can has bothered to create them?
The ones who HAVE bothered to create games for Linux have either done so in companion to the windows release (and usually later, for example ID's Quakes) or are not large corporations. You don't make a game with a small team and suddenly you're in the club with EA, Ubi, etc. That's not how it works.
Here's the reason: æ = 0xE6 (or 0xC6 for capitol) in extended ASCII, where Mu is not present in extended ASCII. It appears slashdot dumps anything outside of that range.
Lets try an experiment: 0xAB and 0xBB: 0xA7 and 0xB6:

The neckbeard market
Thanks for that bigoted remark. Most of us are otherwise normal people, you know.
And since the KDE API and Qt change faster than I change my underwear...
Yea, that's a hard condition to meet. Glaciers move faster than your underwear gets changed.
Yea, but this is not that. It doesn't teach you everything, but it allows an already-knowledgeable programmer to jump in to the KDE project.
Not so much a copy of "C Programming Language" as it is a "Get Started with $FRAMEWORK" book.
This is not for "beginner developers" - this is for beginner kde developers - eg, developers who have not worked with KDE before.
Don't expect to learn from nothing, you should already know how to program before you tackle this.

That's a case where there might well not be a practical difference, but when it comes to the way the laws are written, there is one.
He'd still be there, in the flesh, exposed.
Now, if he took a picture of himself, and displayed that... I don't even want to think about how that would play out.
You are lost in a maze of twisty little statutes, all alike. You are likely to be charged by a grue.
Mod up. This is an excellent compromise!
Because allowing him to watch it is an exercise in free speech or something, that can be argued to be protected (what the whole story is about). Whipping it out and going "to work" would run afoul of indecent exposure or other such statutes.
I guess? IANAL and all that.
If they don't like you, they can try to ban your IP address
Which is exactly what I meant. Nowhere did I say anything about legalities.
Wish we could mod whole subdomains! You'd be more productive to just mod politics.slashdot.org as flamebait :P

For a few minutes?
My friend, the pain does not stop until the sun goes away (or you just put on sunglasses)

I'd love to see something comparable with a passive sensor. You'd need a pair of cameras and some serious algorithms though, wouldn't you?
What about a blue cent? Or how about green? Mauve? Plaid!?
Microsoft defended the price difference, saying sales of games and Xbox Live subscriptions help subsidize the console version.
Well, isn't that right? Sorry MS, I don't want to subsidize your console.
Agreed. Myself, I think it would be better to just reserve the space for future use, giving us plenty of expansion room without having to increase the word size (utf8 to utf16 to utf32) - instead of just filling the section up with nonsense.
Yet, those small companies don't exist.

False! Only a subset is allowed, but anything outside of it most definitly seems to fail.
