    They earn more per day than an ordinary minimum waged Russian do for a month. And in my country where I could consider myself a middle class person (still single), they earn more in 100 days than I could possibly earn in a year.

    I will NEVER pay for an internet service.

    I'm with you AC except for that line. If you are willing to pay for a tangible thing or a real world service that you love, why not an internet based one? Or you only love it because it was free and nothing else? I find that reasoning very popular with other people too. Any insights why people?

    I myself had a hard time hoarding 100 cute kittens per year as a sacrifice for the safety of our numerous gadgets from gremlins. 5,000 cute kittens a year is no joke but kudos for them in making sure that unfathomable things would not happen to their customer's headphones.

    The problems started when after a few weeks the biggest hype was over and players started going back to WOW.

    Fixed it for ya. This is what I had seen in our guild.

  12. Re:Good news, bad news. on DirectX 10 Coming To Linux and Mac · · Score: 1

    I was also surprised that WoW only got a silver rating. WINE boasts that game and it does run flawlessly on it except for the openGL hardware cursor blizzard devs are too lazy to implement.

    Oh and I checked their WoW page and it seems the rating was updated last 3/26/2008. It only reaffirmed my belief that WINE has progressed further than CrossOver. (I haven't tried CrossOver though, and don't see a reason for using it over WINE yet.)

    I would revel at the day when the AI is more human like which would tremble upon sighting my avatar, run to the ends of the map at the sound of my bullets, curse me, and log out.

    Per E. Samuelson
    Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, RIAA's attorney would certainly want you to believe that my client is assisting in these copyright infringement activities. And they make a good case. Hell, I almost felt pity myself! But, ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is KingKong. KingKong is a big gorilla who shares file from Cambodia. But KingKong lives on the fictional Skull Island with ninjas. Now think about it; that does not make sense!

    RIAA Attorney
    Damn it!

    RIAA Exec
    What?

    RIAA Attorney
    He's using the KingKong defense!

    Per E. Samuelson
    Why would a gorilla, a several stories tall Gorilla, want to live on Cambodia and fileshare from there, with a bunch of smaller and numerous human beings? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major anti-shipping company, and I'm talkin' about KingKong! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, [approaches and softens] does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If King Kong shares file from Cambodia, you must acquit! The defense rests.

    I had used Ubuntu before but now I find that Linux Mint, which is an Ubuntu derivative, is more user friendly and just-works (tm). (what makes Linux great is still there but it now caters much better to my lazy side.)

    Couple that with the fact that I could run WOW in WINE, I had purged myself of Windows in my home system.

    Interesting eh? So how did it explained religion?

    Is it where the first ones get all the good stuff and the offsprings only get to dream/think about it? Well I could understand that if the scenario was giving dozens of virgins to one guy, the rest would only dream about it. In that case it would be a supply and demand problem, not an inherited one. (or in our case as /.ers, it might not even matter if there's an abundance in the supply anyway.)
