What I am against is the fact I have to pay extra for it.
I'm not saying they should go through all the trouble of releasing a NES Cart. But this could have been done as a PSX or PSX2 CD/DVD Complete with box art and everything. But no. Its a money grab. No box art. No manual. Just a DRMed up the as download with limitless little extras to keep you paying more and more.
You have to BUY the privilige of playing as ProtoMan, sliding and Mega Buster with real money. The game only costs $10, but I've heard that playing as ProtoMan will cost you $4, and sliding will cost you $2.
No, just Hell no. I will not pay for something I can do for free since Mega Man 3
This is for all the people out there who have played Urban Terror. I wonder if the south will turn into the guys in Red Smocks (oe in the case of southerners, gray smocks) vs. The guys in Blue smocks as all those rednecks come out of the Appalachian mountains that "The Commies took muh TV!"
Now hopefully there will be true Heretic and Hexen support in PrBoom. Vavoom didn't run Heretic and Hexen right. ZDoom and ZDaemon meant I had to run them under Wine. (Bad memories about argueing with Nightfang about how much he 'hated Linux' and 'Didn't want Linux users playing ZDaemon.'
I see this as a disturbing trend in our society's prosperity. Star Trek was a symbol of a rational, secular future that was peaceful and optimistic. It was a world I wanted to live in as a child. But in reality I grew in a backward part of the world as a child: The American South. I wanted to explore space. But I was considered a weirdo and a nutcase as a kid because nobody in my Elementary school knew what a Borg was.
We have no active star trek series. Our science fiction authors are croaking off. And now this. Slowly, the optimistic future that Star Trek represented is falling vanishing in favor of a backward religious future. Its really sad.
Large ISPs won't go after botnets because the customers really will resist patching their machines and move to an ISP that will let them spread viruses all they want.
No. Anything from Microsoft is bad. Silverlight is an attempt to re establish lock in to the Windows and IE platform. Don't kid yourself otherwise. Its just that Linux needs to say damn the patents and do everything possible to reverse engineer and re engineer Flash 9 and 10.
They just don't care because there are no real competitors to Flash. For most mainstream sites today, Flash is mandatory. (And no amount of boycott will change that.)
I think the best way to fix this is by subversion and infiltration. Boycotts don't work. They haven't worked with Vista and won't work with Flash.
The Linux community needs to stop thinking it can "boycott" things like protocols, and file formats and instead, work to make alternate applications that can work with those file formats and protocols to eat the other guy's lunch.
They are coming. Their are quite a few of them, but they are coming. Remember what I said about "Preventing the last year of open source and Linux?" While Linux is strong now, do realize that we got a break.
In Vista, I expected the Harbinger of Linux's Doom. I expected another Windows 2000. I was pleasantly surprised how bad Vista turned out.
We got a break, we got lucky, and Linux will survive to fight another day, but the monsters are still out there. At this point, Linux needs to focus on combating OSX. Apple is as lethal a threat as M$ is.
I disagree that Linux users don't have girlfriends. In fact it looks like your average Linux user is in his 30s, married, has one or two kids and complains that his kids are horribly behaved, and therefore is miserable.
Fedora's RPM system is an absolute disorganized nightmare when it comes to RPM. Now Mandriva has done a few things right. They are disciplined about how they setup RPMs so you don't get dependancy Hell. Also. urpmi has far superior package deployment options when compared to yum.
For example. urpmi can do parallel installations of Authorized packages using SSH, and Kerberos simultaniously. Yum cannot. You have to setup your own mirror. urpmi can use LDAP to standardize the synthesis or hdlist. Yum cannot.
I really wish there were more advancements in this arena.
Thats completely false. Not bringing third party development has nothing to do with willingness to spend money. I bought the boxed Quake 4 for Linux.
What the corporate developers are afraid of is casting their software before wolves instead of sheep like Windows users. Linux users are disobedient. They like to tinker. Windows users are blindly obedient. They don't want to risk a beating.

Yes, Zimbra, and many other Groupware solutions meant just for that purpose.
I never said Christians and other religions didn't censor stuff too. Trust me, all religions are going to censor stuff they don't like.
I'm a fan of both Pat Condell and Thunderf00t.
Somehow I'm not shocked by this.
Thats what I just said isn't it?
Look in to Rockman no Constancy.
I don't own an X-box, I own a Playstation 2

This would be a good time to bring in Novell's Linux girl. Novell needs to produce new episodes of those ads
They have to have an unencrypted QAM Teir by law. I have Comcast, and There are 39 availible unencrypted QAM channels. (Only 14 are unique.)

I've never met a Linux user whol didn't have some closed source code however small in his box.
What about the right to play the game under Linux or Mac? Trust me, Game developers hate Linux with a Holy passion.
Its a religious thing.

Just for the sake of discussion, we are talking about the Kernel, not Applications.

But it can't do Flash 9.
