Maybe. There is a Seinfeld episode with Festivus, opposed to Christmas etc. "The tradition of Festivus begins with the Airing of Grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people! And now, you're gonna hear about it. You, Kruger. My son tells me your company STINKS!"

Do hard disc drives really fail that quickly? Say right now you buy a 500gig drive, then pop it in your computer, copy all the data, then remove it from your computer and store it in another box/container. You're telling me that in 5 years time the hard disc drive could just die? Exactly why would anything like that happen? "Nothing" is happening to the drive, yet it is able to stuff itself up somehow. Excuse my ignorance :)

Just because it doesn't have 10 billion players, like Counter-Strike doesn't mean nobody plays it. http://store.steampowered.com/stats/ then click "View Steam players per game". As you can see, it is 9th on the list. It's definitely not unpopular! There was only a bug-fixing update a few weeks before the Verizon US$100 000 duel tourney. Valve have basically Left HL2: DM 4 Dead.

G'day, I'd like to point out that Valve isn't usually this quick. Take for example Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, the multiplayer component for the famous single player game. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=248425 http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=76660 These two links list quite a few bugs. There hasn't be a decent update for HL2: DM in about 2 fucking years.

Slackware 12.2 Released 351

pilsner.urquell submitted a quote from the announcement saying "Well folks, it's that time to announce a new stable Slackware release again. So, without further ado, announcing Slackware version 12.2! Since we've moved to supporting the 2.6 kernel series exclusively (and fine-tuned the system to get the most out of it), we feel that Slackware 12.2 has many improvements over our last release (Slackware 12.1) and is a must-have upgrade for any Slackware user."
