No, it should be written as LNX and not mentioned at all. Thus, in a thousand or so years, we'll forget the proper pronunciation of the missing vowels, just like Jews did with JHWH. Aaah, finally Lunix will be a name one could use without being considered a plonker...
Thank you for the direct download link, since this is what I got after trying to go through IBM's download pages:

What does this mean, they think I'm Hitman(tm) or something?
Well, one may be so bold to characterise Doom 3 and Quake 4 rather contemporary, without omitting to highlight the fact they both have native Linux ports. Cold War and upcoming Serious Sam 2 may well be put to the same category. But hey, the Prey doesn't run on Linux, sufficient for some to regard Linux gaming anachronous...
I am sorry, but I seem unable to follow your logic. Which premises in my sentence made you draw such a conclusion? I have just said that superiority complex has no grounds in reality - that does not necessarily mean any of the abovementioned OSes is better that the other. What I have said is BSD's advantages are not so numeorous and intensive that they should induce feeling of superiority to Linux...
What I find rather peculiar is this competitive behaviour that's constantly being exercised by *BSD crowd. GNU/Linux camp regard *BSD Unices as the sister OS(es), something they're in some sort of "friendly competition" with, while the *BSD guys continue to look down on Linux and its users, telling on their official pages/blogs/birthday parties... how inferior Linux is in regard to software installation, OS management, security... This superiority complex of theirs is really annoying, especially given it is not based on facts. Compete against Windows damn it - that's the enemy, you morons...
Actually, the best of these apps all of you have mentioned is WengoPhone http://www.openwengo.com/ - qt interface, uses ALSA, have working Linux video capabilities, "and more..." Check it out, it's GPL and very good indeed.
Are you for real? I mean you're not a remotely programmed bot with the ability to make longer sentences? "Unbiased reporting that CNN provides"?! HAHAHA! A global TV network serving interests of US big buck. You're afraid of oppressive regime in China, and possible military threats it may pose? And what about oppressive regime in US and actual military threats it poses? Iraq, you know... BLOOD ON HANDS OF AMERICANS IN A CAMPAIGN SPONSORED BY MICROSOFT! In other news, I do hope all this was just a joke I did not get...
I am from a south-eastern European country, where an average salary is cca 200 euros, nevertheless Windows XP Pro is priced at 150 euros (90 e for Home edition), Office 500 e - so much for making things 'affordable' in developing countries... The 'reformist' government even made a deal with Microsoft, making it a sole software supplier for governmental agencies and even educational institutions. So, I'm paying MS through taxes even, and waiting for a day when my kids (which I plan to have;) ) will be taught something their parents do not approve of. Unless, of course, Microsoft has disappeared from the software market untill those day came:)

Emphasis on "should"...

Well, tell that to those douchebags at nVidia, it is exactly what that claim is possible...
