That would be like selling your software to businesses for one price and to individuals for another, total nonsense!

It would be nice if we could use the same libc to write programs for them.

There is this neat feature called a keyboard. It's the best thing ever I swear to God! You press a button with a letter on it and it suddenly appears on the screen.

Did you know that in bash, the default shell for OS X, you can hit "ctrl-A" to move to the beginning of a long command line? Did you know that EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THE OS X UI, even including text boxes in Safari, you can hit "ctrl-A" for the exact same behavior?
I just checked, and I can do the same in my WinXP box. With the Home key. In any textbox or the command prompt. See, Windoze just gets out of your way and lets you do your creative thing. How cool is that! Innovation at its best. I bet this awesome feature will make EVERYONE switch to XP.

No, not really. It's more like "one player who has 176 frags 5min after the match starts, two with -3 and -17 respectively and one that is compiling his config." Not really my idea of fun. I personally have the most fun with players that are on the same level of skill as myself.

I mean there is no skill matching. :) And the overall experience is worse I believe.

I haven't played (io)q3 online for a long time, but I bet it doesn't have as much players as QL and it's not as easy finding a game as picking a server and clicking on it.

A modern top-down Grand Theft Auto would be nice. I remember playing GTA2 long after GTA3 was released. It's available for free now at http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/?id=3. And a decent quake would be nice too. :) That Quake Live thing is the worst thing that has "Quake" on it. It sucks at pretty much everything.

Please note that on or around July 15, 2009, AT&T will no longer be

So what free or low-cost alternatives are available for Netnews and
the NNTP services for clients?"
