Nobody over there actually names things in German. That's just a myth. I hear "Kugeltalstraße" is a really popular Chinese street name. Yep, sure looks like China to me.
They don't know how to install legacy drivers under Windows either. At least they don't have to navigate a "helpful wizard" when you're just telling them what to type.
You seem to have no experience with this at all. Please actually try or at least do research on the things you're talking about.
I installed Ubuntu on my sister's computer when she saw XGL running on mine and asked about it. She has a GeForce 2, which works with the legacy drivers in the repository. It does not break with kernel updates as you say it does. With Ubuntu's update manager she can perform updates by herself. She doesn't have a DVD drive on her computer, but on mine DVDs play fine, and even ignore region encoding (unlike Windows players). She thinks Shockwave games are stupid, like most people. Streaming video works fine. Her iPod Shuffle works well with Rhythmbox. Everything she wants to do is easily done, and she doesn't have to deal with the problems of Windows98 (which is what she used to have).
There's no way to not update Steam without cracking it. You have to be online before you switch into offline mode, and if there's an update it will download automatically.
And I'm sure there will be a cvar to turn off special pricing.
Not nessicarily. Think of this scenario:
CounterTerrorists' plan is to send in everybody with MP5s until they've got enough to buy sniper rifles and bullpups.
Terrorists' plan is to stay hidden and defend the hosties with shotguns until they have enough money to buy scoped weapons.
They test in practice matches, and the CT's strategy works well.
The match is on Sunday, and the prices change that day. MP5s and Bullpups get more expensive. Shotguns get cheaper. The T's will save more money, and will afford sniper rifles and kreigs before the CTs have enough money to buy their own long range weapons. Thus the Terrorist snipers will be able to keep the CTs back.
I didn't mean just the last letter, but the entire last syllable. "-tion" is one of the most awkwardly spelled syllables in the English language, and attempting to read it as Romaji would result in an incorrect pronounciation. It's easily writtin in Katakana, but only if you totally disregard the English spelling and focus on actual pronounciation, (which seems to not be the case most of the time).
Why does 2+3 = 5? Because we said it does...not because it is universally true.
So, if I said that you were a carrot, it would be correct because I said so? Even if it weren't universally true, you would still be a carrot. I could grate you and put you in a salad, like any other carrot.
I just wish they'd called it the Revolution instead
You have to remember that Nintendo is a primarily Japanese company. "Revolution" is nigh-impossible to write or say in Japanese, what with that crazy V, the confusion between Ls and Rs, and that funky ending. Actually, the ending would probably be the easiest thing to say, since it's the only thing with a semi-direct phonetic equivalent.
Or even worse: packages in stable that don't have the right checksums. You can't even install them.
Once I was emerging world and one of the files it downloaded for bash was "invalid". The file wasn't corrupt, but the portage tree had the wrong checksum. And since the install scripts were MD5'd also, I couldn't easily edit it to skip the check. I had to downgrade the version (which subsequently downgraded some other packages). Seriously, how hard is it to test the installer on one of the most vital packages in the system before you put it in the stable tree?
Why are so many urban schools so fucked up? Part of the problem is that the facilities are ancient, crumbling edifices left over from the 1800s.
And the rest of the problem is that the districts spend most of their budget on stupid projects, when they should be applying it to the schools that need it. Think of what they could have done with 63 million dollars, instead of making a "high-tech" school for less than 800 kids.
It looks like that was a mistake. They did the first two window shots okay, without the fade to white, but then it looks like they did the shot in the middle that covered part of the desktop and forgot to turn off the feather select when they did more window shots.
Honestly, that's no excuse. There is no way they didn't notice. They really should have redone it before putting it up for the world to see.
If you're going to use Myth, you should build two boxen. Put a server in a closet somewhere you can't hear it, and build a thin client (or multiple thin clients, for more than one room) that boots off the network and thus needs no hard drive to run the mythfrontend. You could even get a fanless VIA processor if you can live with 1GHz. I'm not sure that can play back HD though.

Whenever I see someone give a percentage for that, it's different every time. What's up with that? Is someone tracking these, or something?

Why didn't you turn them in?

Looks good, I'm downloading it now.
Ford, you're turning into a penguin. Stop it.
I synced once before the update, and again several hours later (the next day) once the error became apparent. The problem was still there.

Laws can't be applied retroactively, so at least they get in trouble for stuff before it was passed. Ex Post Facto clause for the win.
leborushyon. lol.

That was the day I switched to Ubuntu.
You haven't been to digg. People reply all the time with "THIS ARTICLE IS BETTER:" and then give a link to the one in the submission.
Damn my lack of mod points.
It's a fine line, and I walk it very carefully.
So what does early 90's grunge have to do with this?
All right! Lawsuits all around!
