Hell, Skyfall just did it as well.
Not everybody who uses Linux does it just to say they're running FOSS. I run it on my work PC because it's a great environment for web development. I run it on my home server because it's a reliable server OS. I run it on my laptop because, quite frankly, the hardware support is better than XP. So if I'm building a new gaming PC and see that I could install Linux and still play games, that is an appealing option for two reasons: consistency, and some cash saved by not purchasing a Windows license.
Granted, Steam for Linux has a long way to go before its availability of games would be enough to consider Linux as a gaming OS, but you have to think of it this way: I'm likely going to buy closed-source games regardless of what OS I run.
My point in all of this? Different people use Linux for different reasons and not all of us are caught up in the RMS philosophy of 100% freedom.
I'd recommend going a non-Ubuntu route if you want to try KDE out. Kubuntu's implementation is not without its quirks and you may find that other distros offer a more polished (if not vanilla) KDE 4 experience which is actually quite pleasant.
Megaman was very close to being part of the genre known as Metroidvania
Are you talking about the general franchise, or the classic Megaman series? I know that the Megaman Zero and ZX series started to take on a Metroidvania characteristic, but the classic Megaman series is nowhere close to that.
"Character growth" makes it sound like you're talking about character development, not in-game itinerary upgrades.
Just invent transparent aluminum, and you'll make your fortune.
It was really easy to tell the puppets apart from the CGI. I was actually disappointed by how reliant they were on CGI for the antagonists, especially given how awesome the the masks and makeup looked in the LotR films.
I put this down to seeing every micro-expression, each twitch of the eye or slight tremble on a smile.
I agree. It's a new layer of realism that we're just not used to. It's similar to watching a Blu-ray at 1080p for the first time and being rather displeased by the sight of every pore, freckle and mole that you otherwise wouldn't notice on actors.
I think I heard it best stated like this: It looks so realistic, you can see how fake it is.
I'm going to do the same to ward off other people.
Especially if you build it with the wrong number of limbs.
...as opposed to figuratively rehashing references?
I wouldn't go so far as to call this context-free, as the Holoduke decoy was the first thing that came to mind for me as well. =)
No more than a regular spider web is art.
The same was true for Laughner in Tucson. The guy was clearly batshit loco, and the first gun shop he tried to buy from refused to sell. The second one, however, didn't raise any red flags and sold a weapon and ammo to him without question.
Except that Apple didn't say that.
