I have noticed this, and there are social multiplayer games. The thing is, I am wondering why some of the legacy titles, such as Zelda don't get multiplayer online variants. (A Link to the Past with 4/8/16 Links anyone?)
A Good example of this is Mega Man: 8 bit Death Match.
LibreOffice is superior to Open Office in my experience. It is faster, It opens complex M$ Office documents and complex power point presentations more cleanly (assuming you have fonts installed.) It is a definite upgrade from OO.org. One problem. OO.org has brand recognition. Big time. It established itself as a market force. LibreOffice will need to establish that all over again.
Disable Desktop effects shut off Compiz. This has been known for a very long time, whether it be Warzone 2100, Quake 4, Doom 3, Unreal Tournament, or Warcraft 3. These "desktop effects" do nothing but slow the box down.
All of the 1000 series were XT Class machines. Yes, a majority of them technically had an 80286 CPU. My Tandy 1000 TL has a 9.15 Mhz 80286, but they only have an 8 bit memory bus,. They have no A20 handler. They cannot create an HMA or UMBs. They are basically 286s won an 8086 motherboard. But if your Tandy says it only has 640 K of RAM, it is lying. it eats 128 K as video RAM. So to get a full 640 K of RAM out of it. the board has to have 768 K. Getting more RAM requires an EMS card, I'm currently trying to find one that will fit my case.
I knw this because I just went on an extensive Tandy Restoration project. The Tandy 1000s could take a 16 bit ISA VGA card with the 16 bit part not plugged in. I replaced the Winchester MFM RRL ard drive with an IDE Controller an an IDE to CF adapter so I can use a Compact Flash Drive as a hard drive (and get a whole lot more hard disk space.)
added an 8 bit Western Digital WD8003 card and an AUI to UTP adapter to get it talking on my network under DOS, using the WATTCP stack with Internet applications and MS LanMan 2.2a with Samba. So yeah, Tandy hardwre is difficult to work with.
I never said there weren't Christians who were not dragged kicking and screaming into modernity. That includes the Catholic Church. Yahweh in his original form would not survive the modern world. His followers would be seen as crazy extremists. You are right, most Christians have moved away from the cruel brutal Yahweh of the past.
This is what alot of evangelicals consider "cherry picking" to try and make Yahweh "Inclusive". Yahweh is not supposed to be "inclusive" Remember? He's a tribal war god. His title isn't "Creator of the Universe." it is "God of Israel." He started as a small time tribal war god that's job was to promote the spread and reproduction of a specific tribe 2600 or so years ago. He had lots of competition. He's been re-interpreted and re-invented. But at his core, he is still this regional tribal god that was worshiped by desert nomads.
Those people didn't know anything about how the world they lived in worked. They just wanted to survive, and they thought that worshiping Yahweh ensured their survival.
There are a few things that you need to understand about why this is an issue. Christianity collapses entirely without the Creation story. While under Judaism, it was just a parable to explain the creation of the world, Christianity gives this story teeth for the following reason: The basis for Jesus's sacrifice was that Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden. From the Instant that happened, with the exception of a few Jews that followed the laws of Moses, 99.999% of all Humans all born on Earth before or since were damned to Hell. Thats the only reason the evolution issue is an issue at all. If this myth isn't true (and it isn't.) Christianity collapses and Jesus died for absolutely no reason than being a cult leader the Romans wanted to execute. (make no mistake, Christianity IS a doomsday cult.)
A few things about the Judeo-Christian God Yahweh:
- He started out as part of a War God along side two other gods, Ba'al, and Asherah. When their followers were eradicated Yahweh was given the title of 'Elohim' - Jehovah is Yahweh in German - He is a male God. Who advocates male supremacy and is VERY misogynistic - He is very mean, cruel, and most Humans have a morality superior to Yahweh, in his original form. Yahweh has been watered down a whole bunch. - Yahweh is often refered to as 'The Lord' due to Censorship in English copies of the Bible. It is considered a violation of the Ten commandments to call Yahweh, 'Yahweh'.
The issue is that for reasons of social control. US Christians do not believe their civilization will survive without Christianity. Yahweh is a tribal god that his followers keep extending and expanding his powers. Yahweh is not real, he is only as powerful as his followers say he is. As such, without an all powerful Yahweh to bind everyone, and keep the masses in line, A whole lot of people who make a whole lot of money, and have a whole lot of power stand to lose their power if belief in Yahweh fades.
Another thing is there are Humans in this world who believe the myth of Heaven and Hell. To those people, when the 'end' comes, they are supremely worried that Yahweh will let exactly zero Humans (or at least not them) into Heaven. The creation myth is a big part of the idea that Jesus died for the original sin of Man. The religion doesn't work if the Garden of Eden never happened.
That's Ghost in the Shell. In the world of Ghost in the Shell, most people have a cybernetic implant in the back of the neck that allows them to communicate and browse the Internet.
Of course I fully expect Christians to lose their shit over this.
Thats beside the point. If I want to run Windows games, (and sometimes I do.) I run them in Wine. thats not the point, the point was I made a Linux gaming console cost effective that inter-operates with PS3, Wii, and Xbox peripherals.
No, The Windows world had that way of thinking with Roaming Mandatory Profiles where "System Policies" were "files" and "scripts" copied from shares. It was utter catastrophe. The Unix 'copy the rc folder method is NT4 level thinking and not Acceptable in today's world. If it is to be acceptable in today's world it must be database driven and granular. This is why MySQL is so popular, and this is why Linux's directory services have gained no market or mind share.
The best thing anyone could do is force KDE and Gnome to adopt OpenLDAP.
Let me give you an example. Lets say that I had a Linux OpenLDAP Server with Heimdal Kerberos (I do.) and I wanted to make it such that whenever a specific user logged in, he/she/it saw a specific background, and had specific Mail settings, and had specific stuff setup for them, and I wanted this to follow them everywhere. There is no facility in KDE to do that. I cannot tell KDE: "This user has this background wallpaper, their FireFox home page is: www.egroupware.com Their start up sound is iora.wav, etc." I can set that up on a per machine basis, but I can't store that information in OpenLDAP so they can use regardless of what their machine is, because KDE doesn't know to retrieve that information.
Because Windows Server has Active Directory and Group Policies. and Linux doesn't. Thats what sells Windows Server 2000/2003/2008. When there was a proposal to incorporate OpenLDAP auto confguration policy into KDE - it was rejected. That is why Linux lost the war for the Enterprise desktop.
Should offer a "Linux Option". and a known Linux Option. Not a "bizzare Linux no one has ever heard of that has no drivers" option, and not a "FreeDOS option". But a "Fedora Option" or a "Mandriva Option" or a "Ubuntu Option" or a "SuSE Option" - That should cover 90% of Linux users.

Is anyone here aware of the fact that KDE 3.5 still exists under the name Trinity Desktop Environment?
I have noticed this, and there are social multiplayer games. The thing is, I am wondering why some of the legacy titles, such as Zelda don't get multiplayer online variants. (A Link to the Past with 4/8/16 Links anyone?)

Add OpenLDAP support like many other Linux applications have for autoconfiguration.

Support the Trinity Desktop Environment, it is KDE 3 upgraded to work on Modern distros.

What do you mean why? The Tandy is truly unique among XT Clones with its special sound and video chips.
All of the 1000 series were XT Class machines. Yes, a majority of them technically had an 80286 CPU. My Tandy 1000 TL has a 9.15 Mhz 80286, but they only have an 8 bit memory bus,.

What upstream changes are likely to come of this? Will we see support for new chipsets as a result of this code release? New Drivers? New interfaces?
Its an Nvidia ION2 board.
Its just a Pico ITX x86 PC in a case similar to an XBox 360.
I built a Linux based gaming Console for $230. Your point is invalid.
I'm a staunch Linux User. I hate Windows. But I also know LDAP is a good idea.

In Windows this is called Group Policy.
Group Policies allow for LDAP based control of the Windows System Registry.
Because Windows Server has Active Directory and Group Policies. and Linux doesn't. Thats what sells Windows Server 2000/2003/2008. When there was a proposal to incorporate OpenLDAP auto confguration policy into KDE - it was rejected. That is why Linux lost the war for the Enterprise desktop.
Thats an old joke Gilbert Godfried made up about Bob Saget. He did a Speel on it at the New York Friar's club.
