This is the sort of behavior that patents were created to enable, so it doesn't sound that way to me.

Ubuntu on x86_64 with nVidia.

I haven't tried in a few months, but I've had these problems through many stable versions, sun and oracle, blah blah blah

The problem with every controller that is not the original Xbox controller is that it is too small for me. Controllers should be sold in small, medium, and large sizes, which would solve this problem completely. If designed carefully they can use the same internals.

Neither the people running the companies nor their prospective employees want to live in those places. This is not only its own impediment, but it also results in a lack of available talent in those places. Since people are dirt broke now, the company would have to pay them relocation to attract them, and/or offer moving and housing which then gets them into a liability situation. There's nothing odd about it.

There is a middle ground where the timing of the keystrokes is used for the display of the keystrokes. They don't have to hit the right keys, but it still helps. And you can do it after the fact with timecodes, or you can code it into the demo. The fact that so many movies fail at it even though they have two perfectly good options for implementing it is particularly pathetic.

I have vision, but I imagine those noises are helpful to blind people who are watching movies, as a placeholder to tell you that some text is being printed on the screen.

I further imagine that there's some sort of system that helps with that information, but that it's not widespread.

It's not an easy solution. It's fine for some women, but most women experience side effects which can include weight gain or lack of sexual appetite. It's also quite possible to impregnate a woman who is taking the pill correctly, or anyway, it happens.

The real tragedy is that you could buy modules off the shelf and plug them together to make the same thing, but fully Open Source. Or just buy a tablet with a little GPIO.

It really is nice to have a thermostat you can program from your PC. But there's no reason it should be amazingly expensive.

Numerous technologies already exist to do this. You could actually do it entirely by purchasing off-the-shelf equipment. You don't need to involve Google.

I guess you've never heard of Linux, which is one of the most popular operating systems in the world. You should get out more. Maybe try reading some geek news sites. I hear there's this one called slashdot where they talk about Linux a lot.

They're not taking it out of Origin. It's still going to have DRM. HTH, HAND.

All three of those games, plus every other Open sim game like OpenTTD and FreeCol (with the exception of FreeCiv, which is only bad) have complete shit interfaces that prove that no one gives a fuck about them. This ruins more Open games than anything else. What's sad is that people cook up their own fancy interfaces instead of just copying the original game and using normal OS widgets, and they make them uglier than they need to be. Stop trying to be creative if you have no sense of style!

Just to be clear, you're upset that Google's attempt to take over the web doesn't play well with competing technologies? I do hope you're not surprised by this. You're helping Google shit on the web.
