Nothing wrong with that. But if I'm going to spend my precious time playing a game, I want to enjoy it. Getting fragged in seconds may be fun the first 10 times or so, then it just becomes a drag and rapidly degrades into pointlessness and in the end, just means wasted time. I could've played Angry Birds in that same time and at least felt entertained rather than bored and annoyed (you can only sit at respawn screens and loading screens for so long).
You can try to find servers targeted to "newcomers" and/or practice more with bots beforehand. But arena shooters are fast paced twitch shooters, so think carefully before you buy them.
Multiplayer, on the other hand, is a spastic experience which seems to be dominated by obsessive players with endless time to practice. The reward for the average player is not mastery, but rather learning to die a little less often.
So you're tired of being fragmeat in arena shooters and diss the entire multiplayer gameplay because of it That's awfully shortsighted. For me this spastic experience is the most exhilerating gameplay I can sign up for and I have played these games online since quakeworld. Nothing beats a quick quake3 or ut99 game Try Left 4 Dead 2 or the man vs machine mode in Team Fortress 2 if you want coop.
Just as you don't understand fork and spawn, you clearly don't understand how privilege segmenting works in Linux. Much of the kernel runs in Ring 0 for example. It can disable interrupts and do all kinds of things that systemd cannot because... wait for it... it runs in user space.
Since we're talking about LInux don't you mean clone ?
Every distro has it's package manager and with it different syntax. Imaging if you had a tool like "install-it mysql" which on Ubuntu goes to apt-get install, or pacman's syntax, or yum or whatever.
Has been tried before https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... by many systems. The problem as I see it is that Linux software ecosystem is chaos. There's a lot of movement which breaks stuff regularly
The thing I mostly worry about is packages. Say what you will about Windows and Mac, but developing an app for them generally has a limited set of ways. There is only one way to do services in Windows, etc.
That's not really true. You can start services/daemons as a service* (under svchost or on its own), as a logon batch job, via a user's startup folder, on demand,... Windows has had its fair set of installers as well: Installshield, nullsoft, Macrovision,...
It is hard to get say Webcam apps to get ported to Linux because the poor devs have to figure out webcams in 10 different distros. Everyone in the boards say "ubuntu 14 +1",.... no no Arch first!!! and so on. Should it matter as much app to app? Shouldn't distros at least have some level of uniformity...a layer of it.
800 tabs. Hyperbole much but the question is how much. I guess maybe 80 tabs ? Spill it, I need to know. What if I show you mine first: I'm currently at 17. How bad is your tab hoarding ?
I know they sell cases where the PSU's are at the bottom. It's a gimmick to sell cases to people that think that's a better design. It's not. The one and only benifit is the weight of the case is now at the bottom and it's less likely to tip. But heat wise, the PSU is the biggest offender in your case. It's also one of the most heat tolerant components. A good, basic, design has large fans in the PSU pulling air IN from the case and exiting the PSU out. All other fans are blowing IN to the case so all airflow enters the case first, travels through and then exits the PSU.
No it's not. The GFX card and the CPU are the most heat generating components. The way it works nowadays is that the PSU draws air from the bottom circulates it over its components and pushes it out the back out of the case. That air is not gonna to be drawn back in.
I've been looking for some of those features as well (gbit ethernet, extra USB and faster cpu and SATA) and the closest thing i found was the
Banana PI.
4. The PSU is at the bottom, heat rises, and directly above it they have the SLI video cards. This is a terrible design.
The PSU at the bottom is pretty much the standard these days. It makes room for top vents or a radiator that way. And the heath output of the PSU is so minimal compared to other parts that it's probably the best place for the PSU.
Sometimes the old guard aren't just holding back progress, but don't tell that to inexperienced youths and bitter old men who want to make a name for themselves.
I guess you fit in between those age groups;D. You middle-aged guru.

I've never "played" minecraft, but I guess they are buying this at this insane price for the marketing and data
mining possibilities.
Fedora, Since when did that beta distro stopped breaking every 2 months ?
Not if the pool of free DHCP leases is big enough and the DHCP server is configured to remember hardware addresses.
So you're the one who develops those office automation atrocities we have to clean up
5 years later ?
Home users don't install their OS anyway !
Since we're talking about LInux don't you mean clone ?
And what if the binary logs are corrupted and journalctl breaks on it ?
To be fair we have a few other "binary" logs: wtmp(x), btmp(x), utmp(x).

Just use the proper kernel subsystems and sysfs.
How do you manage that: several windows dedicated to different purposes, a grouper plugin ?
What about the Banana Pi http://www.bananapi.org/p/prod....

The rest is just a reaffirmation of that as well. Examples of even when things go haywire you should keep following orders !

The site mentions a power supply so what's the power envelope ?
Oh really CM 690 III (it's a popular case -- they made three versions of it):

If these experiments confirm that we are in fact all actors of a holodeck, can they publish the results to the general public ?
This rings true for almost every computer user, regardless of OS nowadays. Nobody likes starting a new session.

What's this lift-off contact connector and where can I buy it ?
They lost income.Had to dump huge amounts of stock. And thus had less for R&D.
