Well, this isn't such a far-fetched idea, considering that EA donated Sim City to the OLPC project and I don't think it was a completely altruist move.
While I agree that ET is a great game (though medics are overpowered IMO), only the source code for the game logic has been released so far. ET is still closed-source for the most part.
Excuse me? What about Gurren Lagann (Gainax at its best), Seirei no Moribito, Bokurano, Dennou Coil, Darker than Black, etc? Even the "generic" shounen anime of the year, Claymore, is pretty enjoyable.
Your statement may have been somewhat true in 2006, which was mostly dominated by Haruhi, but so far 2007 has a fuckton of excellent titles. Lucky Star is actually one of the worst examples from this year.
People here hate Roland because he used to include in his submissions links to his own blog (primidi.com) which contains ads from blogads. That, and the fact that so many stories from him are accepted on Slashdot, led many slashdotters to believe that he had some sort of agreement with Slashdot editors which made both sides earn lots of money through ads.
The problem is not if we can do what he has done or not (I for one can't), but rather that this is not news, people has done that numerous times since the early electronic era in the 70's.
I have no idea what you're smoking, but SMGL has awesome community support and participation
Well, I'm sorry but a small IRC channel is not exactly my definition of an "awesome" community.
Within 30 minutes of kernel 2.6.18 being released last night, it was put into the testing distribution.
2.6.18 is currently in the stable branch of Gentoo, and this is probably the case for many other distros, so what is your point?
Zach978 already stated the facts about "the lack of" packages, so I'll leave that issue.
I'm sorry again, but I don't think "do it yourself" is a satisfactory answer to that problem.
So if the project is documented in it's homepage, there you will find the documentation. It should not be expected for every distro to create redundant documentation for every piece of software that one may use, because that makes for an awful lot of time wasted that could be spent improving the distro
You are just looking for excuses for the lack of documentation around Sourcemage. People always need good and preferably centralized documentation for their distro. I'm not talking about redundant documentation, but at least something to get you quickly started on a particular topic and how to get past the most common problems related to Sourcemage (and please don't tell me that there aren't any problems in Sourcemage)
Sourcemage is a nice little distro with some neat ideas, but unfortunately the lack of interest about it and its consequences (lack of community support, lack of packages, lack of documentation...) is a boner killer and makes Gentoo a better choice for a source-based distro. That's too bad, because Gentoo could benefit from some competition.
Fvwm-Crystal is really nice, it shows how powerful and flexible Fvwm can be while still being light and fast. But its main drawback is that when something goes wrong, you are screwed unless you know Fvwm very well, and this is not something easy to achieve (for those who don't know Fvwm, just look at the man page.
Also, while we are on the subject of Fvwm, check out Metisse, a nice experimental Fvwm-based OpenGL desktop. I'm not sure if it's still actively maintened though. It would be a nice thing too if they ported it to Xgl.
Well, can Nagios detect a SSH brute force attack, report it to you by mail and ban the offending IP, out of the box with almost no configuration to do?
Last time I checked Nagios was a general-purpose monitoring system, a pain in the ass to configure and too bloated if all you want is just improving your security. An HIDS like OSSEC is better suited for this kind of task.
Here is a list of what OSSEC can do if you are too lazy to RTFA: - Log Analysis, with a powerful xml-based rules system - File integrity checker - Rootkit detection - Active response (automatically ban hosts on critical alerts) - Mail reporting - Server/clients or local installation
It's GPL and runs on many *nix OS. I've tried OSSEC for a few months to monitor a few servers and I must say I'm pretty impressed with it. Its log analysis system is powerful and easy to understand. I've met a few false positives, but you can easily define your own rules to ignore some events. The project is a bit young, but development is very active. Definitely worth trying if you are interested in Unix security.

Think of the market! (3. Profit!)
