Comment Every platform? (Score -1) 248

"versions of Doom have subsequently been released for the following systems: DOS, Microsoft Windows, Commodore Amiga, QNX, Irix, NEXTSTEP, Linux, Apple Macintosh, Super NES, Sega 32X, Sony PlayStation, Game Boy Advance, iPhone OS, Symbian OS, RISC OS, Atari Jaguar, Sega Saturn, Nintendo 64, Tapwave (1) Does this work on Dialup connections?

(2) "Zodiac, 3DO, Xbox as a feature of Doom 3: Limited Edition, Xbox 360 on Xbox Live Arcade, and the PS3." - wikipedia

No Commodore 64.
Or NES.
Or Sega Genesis? That last one is a surprise since the Amiga version should be able to run on the Genesis with some simple modification.

Instead of a signature. It won't hold-up in court (because you can claim you refused to sign, and its not your signature), and you will not be forced to keep silent about how the doctor or dentist provided lousy service.

And speaking of lousy service:
Don't deal with Charles Schwab. I opened a Roth IRA that was supposed to be dated 2010, but they delayed the account, made me take a "Patriot Test" by phone, and slapped 2011 on it.
i.e. They lied. Damn bankers. And no I didn't sign an NDA.

10 percent discount to anyone who checked in on a phone at Radio Shack..... Applebee's launched a "swarm offer" in an effort to bring in the late-night crowd. Everyone who checks in gets free mozzarella sticks, as long as at least five people in the restaurant check in after 9 p.m..... New York Times' more than 90,000 followers might be advised to try the cereal-milk soft-serve ice cream at New York's Momofuku Milk Bar.....

No wonder the typical American has ~$120,000 in total debt (plus 140,000 of public gov't debt). I don't think we can build a positive future following this materialistic lifestyle. IMHO.

>>>now have switched to kubuntu 11.04

Give Lubuntu a try (LXDE plus ubuntu). It uses about 1/4 as much RAM as kubuntu requires, so it's good for old laptops or PCs with 1 gig or less memory.

As for Unity, I don't know how accurate these benchmarks are, but if it uses twice the RAM then it would not fit inside my current laptop. Still I'm willing to give it a try and see how it looks.

Zelda: Mask of Majora
Final Fantasy 9
Banjo Kazooie 1 and 2
