I'm using adblock and flashblock on Seamonkey, and they both work great. I didn't bother with a speelchecker, as my grammer is great, but I'm sure that would work liek a charm, too.
Again, nVidia the way to go, as they support both FreeBSD and Solaris x86 with excellent and easy-to-install drivers. I play Doom 3 on FreeBSD without as much as a glitch...
There's always Doom 3 and Quake 4, but as good as they are, they aren't America's Army. There is still a small but thriving community of Linux and Macintosh AA players, using the last (2.5) version, but I don't think it will last long.
Well, if they legalized it, it isn't infringement anymore... Right?
So, with this new tax I can copy ("pirate", "piracy" are related to mutiny, theft and murder in ships, and I refuse to apply these terms to someone whose crime is copy something) and share copyrighted material like there is no tomorrow? Spain, here I go!
Zap your/oW and get two blessed scroll of genocide, I say! Wipe out those pesky liches and that damn disenchanter; the Titan and the mind flayer are breakfast.
Amen to that, bro. I dislike ATI even more because I run only Linux and FreeBSD. The games I play are those which run on these systems (thanks to iD Software and the brave folks at Bioware). ATI never had good drivers (well, they blame the drivers, but I'm not sure about the hardware as well). On the other hand, I've always liked AMD better than Intel (faster, cheaper, cooler processors), but the reasons for it are fading away with Intel's latest and announced offerings.
I may very well buy an ATIMD/AMDTI/AMTI/ATMID/however that potential new corp will be called in the future if, and only if, they fully support the operating systems I care for. Nowadays, only nVidia excels at that, and I thank them with my hard-earned money.
Compare apples to apples. I mean, we could try and compare this to a hooker, the game would come out a lot cheaper, but come on... which would you pick? (assuming it is a morally valid choice, etc, YMMV)
Hell, I can pin my MB on wall, aim a giant desk fan at it, and revel in my awesome airflow.
Good idea. Have you ever seen something like that before? Perhaps not directly to the wall, but on a wood plank or something. Optical drives' position would suck, unless you build a special support for them. And the power/reset buttons could be common light switches... Yeah, that would be neat indeed!
Beautiful concept, that BlackDog. I've been looking for such a thing myself, but it would be *perfect* if it had some way of displaying/entering data independently of an external computer, and that is able to run LAMP for development purposes. Do you happen to know such a beast?
All those games are Windows-only, unless you count that Wine (great technical merits, not so great philosophical ones) kludge.
Linux games: Medal of Honor Allied Assault (I haven't played more recent versions) Doom (all versions, including Doom 3 and it's expansion Resurrection of Evil) Quake (all versions, including the newest and greatest Quake 4) Neverwinter Nights (it runs on Linux since about 3 months after the Windows release) (although NWN2 may not run on Linux) Unreal Tournament America's Army till version 2.5 (when the US Army abandoned us) the X-Plane flight simulator

There are also great open source games, even for those who don't have a video card (serial console anyone?). Of these, my favorite is Nethack. But I digress. The point is that there are plenty of good games for Linux that can put some of these new video cards on their knees.

You must be new here.

Sometimes I wonder if "faulty drivers" isn't an excuse for actually sub-par hardware... How can anyone tell?
Much to our (Linux and Macintosh users) grief, America's Army was officially discontinued on these platforms: http://aaotracker.com/thread.php?threadid=132745

Visual Studio may even be lean compared to Eclipse (I, for one, don't use either; I just welcome our old vim/makefiles overlords). In your own words:
Priceless!
hopolophobes.
What on earth does this mean, so I can add it to Wiktionary?
Do I get a candy if I say what this alludes to?

And how much energy can be extracted from a grain of rice? Would there be a Type R version of Mr. Fusion?
Well, one way or the other, he got up there, and this means that, if not the majority, at least a good deal of people think like that piece of scum.

"What do you call 1000 trolls buried up to their necks in sand?"
"A good start."
You got it wrong.
"What do you call 1000 lawyers buried up to their necks in sand?"
"Not enough sand."
And a very far-away catpiss scent.
And the more Xs, the better? And which is better, GS, GT or GTX? Or XT or XTX?
Isn't there an ATI X1900XTX?

Quick, patent/copyright/trademark that!
An equivalent application today would be accessing your *NIX servers via SSH, the modern days having brought color and cursor positioning.
X isn't good for anything but LAN (but has anyone ever tried NX over dialup?)
