Erm please try and compile an 11 million line kernel! Oh right its impossible 11 million lines is across all arches. My point is that because you only need to compile a subset of 11M LOC and then you can remove modules your not using (modules make up the majority of an X86 kernel) that what you end up actually running is pretty small, and while adding 10% is bad, because its not big to start with 10% is not as much.

If you say that money can't buy happiness, I say you're shopping at the wrong store.

You've been hanging out at Apple stores again! Haven't you!

Who's job is it??

This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done."

I mean this is supposed to be a role playing game, or am I wrong?

You are wrong, MMORPGs are power-fantasy games. Not that that matters, since the whole concept of gaining more hit points as you play originates with RPGs.

-software such as? If the ISP has buggy linux software, just run the windows version in wine. There, fixed. -web accelerator software... again, use wine. -internet explorer is downright a terribly unsafe browser, that's why it isn't ported. It would work udner wine, but it's better to just use firefox or another linux-ported browser. -open vlc, view, playlist. Drag your songs in there, then start playing -that's because of the emulating software, not linux. Either ask the developers to fix it or choose another emulator. This has nothing to do with ubuntu. -alt+click , then drag the screen. You seriously weren't actually trying ubuntu. Failing to even google for what isn't working clearly shows that. Sure, the resolution problem is a bit more irritating then others. All the other are either bad software, especially internet explorer, or the fact you don't know how to run the software (vlc) If you are going to be modded troll, then you deserve it. At the very least use google to solve basic problems.

They are lies. This is the first article i've ever seen that points to failrues of a ps3. Compared to the ridicilous amount of people who have had RROD, i think a former microsoft employee has no reason to start pointing at sony and say their product is unreliable.

ugh, what's up with the slashdot posts lately? I some white lines to make things more readible, and it gets posted as wall of text... everything before the "-- Sorry" is a quote.

Sorry, Linux fanboys are so smug about Linux security it's hard not to throw it back at them when they are wrong -- Sorry, but since this is the very first linux botnet opposed to the millionth windows botnet, the fanboys have a point Having a big botnet on linux would require a lot of work to get past the built-in security by the OS, then add in compatability for all the different distro's... I'd say the fanboys aren't completely right but they're a lot more right then wrong.

Heh, this is just bullshit. the protection will never be strong enough to make it "not worthwhile". The only way to do that would be making it unbreakable, wich is impossible. It only takes ONE person to break the DRM and give pirates free copies. Your example of xbox live is a poor one. the whole xbox OS is DRM. If microsoft wasn't locking down every single part of the console, pirates would be all over it. The big difference is that MS' DRM doesn't ruin the game in any way. You want to play offline? Go ahead. You want to play the game you bought from a developer that is now bankrupt? You can. If the xbox OS ever gets seriously broken, MS will have to start all over. This one security is just too big to crack, and it doesn't matter if you crack it - it's not in your way. DRM can be neutral. Locking people out of games they paid for isn't. Requiring a connection to play offline isn't. As long as DRM keeps locking out paying users, all that will happen is an increase in piracy. Oh, and as a last note, you say our theories are unproven. Are yours proven? piracy has only gone up since DRM. You do not have even the slightest hint of evidence yourself.

actually, the cry engine has good physics too. It originally came from FPS titles, the MMORPG part is only an add-on to the actual engine.

that too, but i meant the original (only? :P) one.

sarcasm isn't in your vocabulary, i guess?

if the matix thought us anything, that's about the time humanity gets enslaved as power source :(

I live in belgium, one exploded here too. I also heard about one exploding the Netherlands.
