>> That takes all of about 1 min to download and load the lame rpm from PLF.
Yeah. I suppose that would take you about a minute. Let's say that I don't know what LAME is, what an rpm is, or what PLF is. Do you see why this is a problem when you're comparing it to a solution that already works?
If your answer is something akin to rolling your eyes and muttering something about ignorance under your breath, YOU HAVE ALREADY LOST THE FUCKING DESKTOP MARKET.
I'll at least agree with your first point: NOTHING is worse than gaming on Linux. Not even audio.
>> If you're a particular inept person, failure is a feature of life!
If you're a particularly condescending person, everyone looks inept.
I don't even understand why everyone is talking about "winning" the desktop with Linux. It's a hopeless fantasy. Never happen.
If your plan is to wait for people to start enjoying technology to the point where every problem is an exciting challenge to overcome, you're delusional.
If your plan is to wait for the Linux circle-jerk community to metamorphose into a group of people who care about the user experience of the lowest common denominator, you're mentally ill.
Nice FUD tag!
True stories of medical horror coming up. Avert your eyes!
I have Chron's Disease, and one day I started bleeding profusely out of my anus. I was rushed to the hospital, and had a greased fiber-optic cable threaded up through my rectum. IT WAS THE WORST THING EVER. All I can remember is the nurse saying repeatedly "he's waking up again", and me going "nnnnnoooononggogoonnoo!" and the doctor going "Man! He's still going. Give him some more Demerol."
No, it's JUST A MANGA CAFE. I've been to FAR MORE THAN TWO OF THEM. It's cool, sure -- but what the poster was trying to get across was that it is patently stupid to give something a fancy title for the purpose of writing some inflated tech-porn bullshit. Just call it a Cyber-Awesome Orgazmo Fanboy LogonDeck Capsulon 4000 if you really need to keep your nipples hard.
Ok...according to Box Office Mojo:

King Kong cost $217 million to make. And it's made, worldwide, $544 million. Now, only about half of that goes back to the studio, and there were certainly huge marketing costs, but we've still got DVD and Pay Cable and Basic Cable and Broadcast rights and Video Game Licenses and Merchandised Crappola.
Maybe they're not Titanic-happy, but it's hard to see them crying.

Yeah, if you're the FIRST ONE, that makes you the LEADER. And yet you typed this ALL BY YOURSELF.
No. Read what I wrote again. It's correct.

Rush! Good to see you back at the keyboard. How's the OxyContin thing treating you? Still got the shakes?
Well, I moved to Japan. The government largely leaves you alone because they don't speak your language too well.
