Duh! That's why he didn't run out of garbage in the game, as it wasn't simulated. To model reality correctly, it should've had garbage simulation and, an Oslo scenario where the garbage runs out at some point.;)
Indeed, why do the governments often roll their own distro? One could think that RHEL or Ubuntu (customized with your own packages if necessary) would do the trick.
Here, take a few of these. <p> <br> <p> <br> <p> <br> <p> <br> Take as many as you need, they're free.
You bastard, you didn't give him any closing tags! What's up next, a sneaky "complete electronics starter kit" with only male and no female connectors?

I kind of like the Ubuntu and MATLAB version numbering as it doesn't even pretend to be anything else than a simple date. I wonder if it could work great for projects like Linux or Firefox too -- projects that don't have clear major/minor cycles but which just keep on improving linearly. It has the bonus that you can see the release date quickly from the version.
The original CD-ROM version of Rayman 2 included various copy protection tricks in a good crazy Ubisoft fashion. As an extra annoyance for playing a pirated copy, they included a huge pirate head popping in front of you at some point of game, so you couldn't properly see or control your character anymore. A funny thing was that an unpatched game did that trick for legit customers too... thankly a patch was released soon. These days a version with DRM stripped away is available from GOG (it requires NX to be disabled to run properly so it possibly still does some funky things with memory).

IMO just like Photoshop or Office, Linux kernel has been "ready" for a long time already. So every release can be just accounted to be "a little bit more of the same", some bug fixes, an odd device driver or the filesystem of the month. No big changes, you just get the latest refresh.
There are some games sold on Steam with zero DRM and can run completely independently of the client, but the number of DRM-free games vastly pale in comparison to the total number in Steam's catalogue. Plus you won't know it's DRM free unless you buy it, or someone's found out and posted the info somewhere, since this fact isn't displayed anywhere on the game's respective Store page.
And even if you get a game without DRM from Steam, you don't get it with a nice installer package which you can archive and own forever. Like you do with games from GOG.
And then instead of twitter/faceook being the defacto stanard for communication, we could use IRC. Just imagine how much better the world would be if people didn't reinvent things that do a worse job then the original.
In the past I would have said the same, but these days I think that IRC is a clunky old piece of shit that has begged a redesign for a decade.
The GP calls it "spyware", and I think that's a reasonable word for it.
Well, yeah. I'm personally fine if I can disable it post-install, but the fact is that Ubuntu is not completely free software (free as in freedom) until this feature is unambiguously enabled only per user request.
So is it still there? I thought they fixed it already because of all the negative feedback. Can't they just put a dialog box during installation:
"Ubuntu gives you an option to use the Amazon shopping lens to extend your desktop search. Discover exciting products from the vast catalogue of Amazon while you help to support Ubuntu. Click here to read the privacy disclaimer. Would you like to participate? [Yes] [No]"
Or even better, also separate it from the regular filesystem search.
Each attempt has been frustrated, however, and I am really not happy about being forced to run akonadi/wallet when I don't need it for anything else.
Ooh, this so much! The wallet subsystem drives me nuts with KDE+KMail. I don't want to type either my wallet password or e-mail password all the time, just remember my passwords and get it working. You have to type too much your password in Linux anyway...
Windows 2000 and Windows 7 are the best releases. Win2000 took the best parts of NT but also allowed consumer stuff such as most games to work. XP only brought extra bloat, slight instability and horrible security record (which was later mostly fixed with service packs). Windows 7 is the pinnacle of the classic desktop: polished, secure, fast and nice.
Just about the only time I use torrents is when downloading Linux distributions- Mageia, Fedora, CentOS, etc. Occasionally iso's for grub magic, ultimate boot CD, and such. All of that legal. And I usually leave it up at least long enough that my share ratio is 100% (1.0).
Even better is if you aim for a share ratio of 2.0. With a share ratio of 1.0, you only "give back what you take", so the swarm stays as strong as it was. That's good. But sending back an "extra copy" gives your contribution to make the swarm stronger.
Actually, it's funny when you think about it. Legally freely distributable open source software is important for folks here, but the same people pirate copyrighted movies and stuff. But if you instead torrent culture that is in public domain, there is no legal problem and you can enjoy completely free digital lifestyle.

SC2K didn't model garbage.

Yes, buddy would be spot on. :)
But all in all, the chip's name really sounds sympathetic to the Finnish ear!

Well, if linux is a toy (your basic argument)
How the hell can you derive that being his basic argument?
Why the heck would anyone do that?
It's sad that you think that you can have your rights taken away from you if they are otherwise nice to you.

You are correct: the Ubuntu torrents (and Linux distro torrents in general) seem to get quite quickly saturated with seeders already.

What kind of hoops do you mean? I find the UX of Unity just fine (its abysmal slowness is my main gripe).

Just set Windows taskbar to the left side of the screen and you've got quite unityish desktop.

You don't really need this card for anything, but I would assume that 1920x1080@120Hz gaming with full framerate needs a lot of muscle.
