that's not completly true, Linux has some market share just not a massive one and in the wrong area for getting games ported to it.
i mean servers are for buissness and in a sense they are for gaming (server for running a game) but the desktop it'self is negelected only becuase everyone uses Direct X
if more companies would use an Open GL Frame work for their games then linux could have a lot more games than the 25 to 35 titles it has now.
But i understand that most companies are content to use the Direct X API's as opposed to the Open Gl due to Direct X is Easy and most of the Tedious parts of coding are done and used as a Function in Direct X, but by the same token with all the Open source Libs on the net a company could develop an Open Gl game just a Easy as a Direct X game.
But this all goes down to the point of Linux is considered a Basement Os to this day, instead of a reliable server and Desktop which it is.
and yes i know it is not the way there yet but it is close enough to be a contender with the best of them also most companies only know Direct X due to thats all they are accustomed to so you cannot Expect them to just change over night but there will come a time when a company will see that linux a Viable source and will produce games for it (i hope anyways.)
but those are my thoughts, yeah i know i will STFU now.

yeah considering mos teenagers on the net can take a console apart make an emulator for it, then use that a dev tool to write games for that system. now if they can do it why couldn't the software houses that went under do it ?.

I thought the first killer App was the Bios, i mean lets face it without that your computer is going no where fast:) unless you like having that old 6502 variant and crappy poked in ML OS Wanabe running it.
CH
well look at it this way, with this technology when you are old and can't get it up anymore you will be able to regenerate willy for a fun nght with a hooker.

No, not really Zork did not learn anything it merely drew it's responses from a predefined database and Spit out the correct Response's to the user's input.
although it did through the use of Keywords in the user's input string "decide what to do" but for the most part it would fail with a "could not understand the word 'Beat' or somthing similar message. or if you were to feed a commnad like : go north for thirty feet turn left" most likely it's response would be "i cannot understand the word(s) thirty feet"
so yes it could seperate most common sense words and limited phrases but not very well. so it is no where near the level of interactivity that would be impressive to todays gamers (read they want an ElCARS style system.)

well hopefully our government will stop wasting money on weapons in space. for one they are of little value as they can not be made practicle for numerous reasons and two i think the money could be better spent on cleaning up the mess the last generation and this one has made. (i.e. fossile fule pollution and radioactive waste contamination.)
but i know this easier said than done.
CH
How is this going to work i wonder ?, what with all the junk already floating around out there since the late 60's and with the space station how are they going to keep other junk from junking their new baby
satallites ?.
just a a thought.

Slashdot Mirror
Ah, i see did not know that well now that makes more sense. thanks for the Info. :)
CH
yeah i have often wondered why they would choose not to participate in somthing that can only bring them more users and stability ?
CH
let's face it if more Linux Distros worked the same way and had the same layout, plus if all lib,Sources were the same that would help out a lot.
CH
thats just it,Mac OS X and Linux already have the Eye candy and at 1/3 the spec to do it.

what the fuck was the point ?, had very little to do with the topic at hand. CH
