Forkable... Just like your mother. :)

Here at Colorado School of Mines, most of the computers I've seen run Windows, but there is definitely a thriving Linux culture here. However, many teachers require assignments in .doc format, which is a real letdown.

That's a good point, but granted, for most people, backing up their data and falling a few commands on a CD would be easier than compiling things through command line.

We are an inferior species who have taken advantage of the Earth, hurt it, and not even cared.

However, I don't condone such destructive actions. Eventually we will destroy ourselves, or nature will destroy us, or some terrible event will help us realize how powerless we really are. For now, push towards less energy consumption, less animal cruelty, less deforestation, but stupid things like blowing AM towers is pointless and hurts the pro-Earth cause.

I don't hate Linux (in fact, I run it on all of my machines), but this is why Linux has not become popular on the desktop.

The first reply to the topic says this:

"Um WOW. THeir full of them selves. And if something dose not work with linux you can compile your own code and make it work."

It's this kind of mentality that keeps Linux from becoming more accessible. Imagine that you install Linux for your mom, and she can't get so and so program to work, so you tell her to just go into the source and edit a few things and recompile it. That's just not going to work.

Try the eeebuntu distro.

Who the hell decided to call it the "Scarlet Knight?" It's freakin' yellow!

If the money goes directly to the artist instead of through the middle-man, and the artist pays those fees. Look at startup bands - the bands pay for the studio and the engineers themselves.

Whenever CowboyNeal tells me to.

Of course, I'm running Windows, so it's likely to crash and reboot before then.

*ducks*

I can't imagine this being entirely safe. What if someone points it where it rolls out into the middle of a busy intersection, and somebody slams on their brakes or swerves to avoid it, causing an accident or hitting a pedestrian?

But can it run Vista?

Hopefully they will redesign their analog sticks. All my analog sticks on my GameCube controllers are very jiggly and have huge nullzones.
