The bug wasn't with the OS, the bug was a bug with software designed, badly, for another OS. Should I start complaining that Battlefield 2142 doesnt run correctly under WINE also?*
Every other game I had worked fine in Vista.
*I have no idea how BF2142 performs under WINE I'm simply using it as an example:)
I've not had any problems with it in the last few weeks. True I am back to running XP. But that's simply because I like to play Battlefield 2142 and it doesn't work quite right under Vista and knowing EA they have no intentions of helping matters. With the compatibility patch coming in SP1 I might give it another try. I really did enjoy using it, problems with Battlefield aside.
Ahhh anon coward. hello.
If you didn't understand the sentence, then perhaps your the one that needs a better understanding of english as a whole, rather then focusing on just the syntax and structure?
You have to wonder about how someone can live with themselves for typing up this garbage, they go to collage do all sorts of stuff... and then this?
People are blowing up corporate crap in SL because they don't WANT you there.
As for using weapons in WoW to train for Rl?
Uh where's my exploding sheep?:P
From my experience, homework is used as a tool by bad teachers to teach their lessons.
We had the a pretty bad Math's teacher, his idea of teaching was to provide a brief summary and then tell people to just do an entire chapter of problems as homework. Easily 2 hours work, especially as the problems got longer and longer.
in my experience the class time broke down to this, 40 mins overall. 5 mins getting the class together, into the class room sorting things out etc 10-15 mins correcting and looking at homework etc. Then say 5 mins explaining something and the last part of the class finally the remainder of the time is spent assigning more homework and people maybe getting one or two of the problems done.
The real problem with excessive homework is that people tend not to finish it, and far to much useful class time is eaten up either assigning more or correcting what was assigned the previous few days.
Of course if you take my experience and spread it over the other 8 or so subjects we had it ended up being highly stressful and more then anything left a number of people uninterested in the subjects as they became more and more burned out on the subject.
Ahh thanks for that. From what was being said they seemed to frame him more as some kind of talking head rather then someone knowledgeable about his reported field. I'd mod you up if I had the points to do so
Okay look, is their really a need to compare microsoft, that makes software, with the USgov which activly kills its citizens and doesn't give a damn about the rest of them.
I love it.. Why is this guy being moderated as flamebait? He's just pointing out his experiences with the product in question. Stupid MS haters and apple fanboys:/
Great, wonderful to hear some insider news like that.
Still I've played to many games lately that are obviously rush jobs with storylines that aren't so much crafted, as they say horrible abortions that have been wall papered into the game rather then being finished.
Look at NWN2, its up to 1.03 and I'm on my 3rd play through, its only after the this patch that many of the story parts are starting to work seemingly as I'm finding out things i never knew, or saw before and because of that the games more ENTERTAINING. Which is what I paid for. Not hours of mindless hack and slash but an interesting storyline, hack and slash is what you do between story parts, not instead of it.
Lets look at KOTOR2, a game that was "Fun" But had gaping holes in its plot line that made no sense and lots of unresolved things that left you frustrated at the end, not to mention a cobbled together bodge job of an ending.
This is only getting worse, I'm not a trek fan, I watch the series.. I was thinking this game might be fun but to hear that its been so.. rushed makes me pause, to the point where I'm probably not going to buy it unless I see it in a bargin bin.
O.o
last game i got from them was Prey..that was fairly recent.
But from what i know when that happens they have arrangements with the publisher to supply a fixed EXE to the purchasers...
Still if they have sad to hear..
Yes its wonderfull that relic did that, Means I can leave my CD's or DVD's in the drive while playing. And we dont have to worry about losing the disks.
You have a good point my friend:) Digital distribution is where its at, it is afterall what the pirates use! I even brought a game off triton, Prey which went well:) And I was able to play with my american friend that night:)
My only complaint was they charged the full box fee.. but being in Dollars it wasnt to much for me.

Here's me, wanting to buy a game, Dark crusade. I already have a pre-order in, its ship date is the 9th, today. Its in most US shops from the 10th onward. In the EU we'll be lucky to see it after the 24th/27th. I could wait the 2 weeks to get it, or I could just snatch it off of a torrent site or emule or the like and have it very shortly after the pirates upload it.
This in my mind puts the pirates WAY ahead of the publishers, and more to the point makes the common games buying public, IE me feel more supportive of them.
And as another user commented, not having to find disks, not having PC destroying crap installed on my machine is a big plus to me.
Being english, I can tell you that the idea of stopping a marathon, heading off to the pub for a few pints before stumbling onto the track again makes PERFECT sense:D
Yes I know:) But you still have problems there.. Either not everyone is on.. or theirs not enough for a full party etc. You still usually end up having to pick up a few people, and the people who only play a few hours a week are either in a very loose guild or not in one at all.
The real problem that MMO's face, like Warcraft and in my case in Guildwars is the dumbass probability. IE the more people you have in a group the greater the chance that one of them is going to be a dumbass. Which requires that you somehow vet all the players, otherwise you have to go through a very long process to get decent players. Allot of complaints people have about MMO's is that sometimes its nice to log in, blast about then log off, not wait about for an hour to get a group and then only to find out that because its a random group you have X number of dumbasses that get you killed 5 minutes or less into it. Or god forbid just at the very end of it.
I think that their needs to be a kind of rating system for players, so other players can rate them based on their experiences with them.. Sure it could be griefed... but I think overall it would be good.
As an IT person of middle skill, I have to say i was with you up till the no need for a scanner for mac/linux. Still its a good point Corperate tools are better because well.. corperations are far far more important then people:D

This isn't just about more cores, think bigger. How about on chip physics processing? On board graphics processing? Say pre-processing before its sent to the GFX card Soundcard on a chip perhaps?
Heck you could have dedicated modules added for ANY type of application in big business, best part is because its using the same base components you have the advantage of mass production with the bonus of specialization for much less of a price!:)
On a related note so was FFX. Maybe it was in the EU only or perhaps EU and Japan I'm not sure but we basically ended up with superpowerfull "dark" monsters at keylocations in the game basically 1million +HP monsters that did one hit kills standing about.. It really stopped me playing the game because it really was to damn hard:/
Despite your sarcasm you do illustrate my point. If MS puts out an OS with new stuff that takes out support for older stuff, people like you castrate them for it.
So they keep the legacy stuff in there and have the nightmare they now deal with, which people beat them up for regardless.

And mostly I'd be happy if linux nuts would shut their gobs and not preach about its benefits all the damn time.
Whenever I clean a system, thats pretty much what you have to do.
Trying to clean up a running system is just insanity.
