Do PC games typically work well with a controller? I was under the impression that they generally needed a mouse and keyboard.
And buying a PS3 and Wii which last 5-6 years is still cheaper than a PC with upgrades every couple of years.
The Windows PC option has two big problems though.
1. Windows. So it's not going to be open for long, if Microsoft have anything to do with it. (See: Windows 8.)
2. PC. So I can't play it slumped on the couch on a big screen TV.
There's also the cost aspect.
It's always a little amazing to see how people cheer on the leaks and cracks when they appear in a closed system, yet continue to support these closed systems with their money and attention when open systems are available.
What open game console has a decent selection of games?
Actually, my BlackBerry was a fantastic phone, in 2004.
The problem was, they were still trying to sell the same phone in 2011.
It's their stock-ticker symbol. People often refer to companies by their stock-ticker symbols.
More importantly, there are some things no amount of personal compensation could provide: ethnic diversity, world class cuisine, sublime landscape, beautiful weather year round, municipal infrastructure (no boil orders for septically contaminated water), and a dozen other things even 50 years of economic development could not deliver to places like the one I lived in in Ohio.
Yeah, but I don't live in Ohio, and I already have those things.
Considering the amount of effort in getting a job there, the hours worked, and the cost of living in Mountain View, I think that roughly equals minimum wage.
You were moderated funny, but that's actually insightful. According to an online Cost of Living Comparison Tool, if I wanted to accept a job at Google they'd need to more than double my salary.
I think that their insistence on moving engineers to Mountain View is likely hurting them.
There is no reason why a convict should be denied the tools and space to develop software when that software is in everyone's best interest.
In general, no. However, have you seen his handwritten letters and read the text of his complaints and demands? The guy is seriously delusional and deep in denial. I don't think I'd want to trust my data to code written by a mind that unhinged.
How about something with a nautical theme, like Shipman?
I'm using Ubuntu Oneric w/ Libre Office 3.4.4 (which is what was distributed with it).
In which case, this problem does not affect you. Import and export of OpenDocument from Google Docs is unaffected.
Why the hell would you use XLS format for processing in Python and Perl, when you could download in OpenDoc format and use a standard XML parser?
I tried KDE as well - I believe my problem there was that the screen corners are "numb", all panel buttons start one pixel away where they require attention to click
They aren't in Kubuntu 12.04.
Have you looked at Markdown, specifically MultiMarkdown? That way you could use any text editor, and produce both LaTeX and HTML output (as well as all kinds of other things).
Also, are the formats expected by publishers standardized at all? Is the standard documented?
On the desktop, I've yet to see a single application written in Java that didn't have huge flaws, even if you ignore the huge flaws in the JRE itself.
Try jEdit.
