Comment You need the updates (Score 0) 403

After the release, They made you update to play online... without an Impulse account and a registered copy, you cannot get the updates or any balancing they've made.

So, in other words. A pirated copy is a POS copy. It'll get boring really fast if you cannot patch / upgrade it.

You CANNOT get the expansion pack to Sins of a Solar Empire Unless you have a registered copy of the game.

Sorry Pirates, but StarDock has the best option VS piracy... registering your GAMES!!!!

Comment People are afraid of what they don't know (Score 0, Flamebait) 1079

This is sad.

I ran Linux on my computer on campus over 12 years ago. this is nothing new, people thought it was cool back than, but it's nothing now. Just something different, a way of saving money rather than purchasing your software, or only limited to the student versions that the College/University offers. Frankly I hope the student wins and this is spread nationwide as another start of people using Linux and lowering the cost of software that Developers charge big bucks for.

Comment I'll stick to my LAMP server and WAMP program (Score 1) 133

They run faster and you shouldn't run services on a desktop machine anyways if you worry about slowness. Put linux on an old computer, setup the LAMP, and there you go. Samba will allow you to access the files directly and you can even use the old computer as a dedicated server. No need to purchase Windows 2k3 or 2k8.

Comment Bull, YOU Still Need the Graphics Card (Score 1) 305

no matter what the content is, if you don't have a powerful enough GPU, than you can't play the game at the speeds other people play it at.

Yes, a X1900, or NVIDIA 2700 is the mid level for now. Once the next gen graphics and content come out, you need to go higher. Taking no one or 2, but 3 steps higher for a card to last 3 to 5 years.

Comment different media or companies (Score 1) 338

Newspapers are not doomed, they will change from paper to another media. For now the alternate print is the Internet and cell phones. next will be large screen digital devices which will be reusable. like the Kindle from amazon, you can buy a device to read the new and your subscription would automatically be updated everyday.

If this isn't the case, than television news companies will buy the papers, so they'll have printed news.
