I developed my game Mystic Mine on Kubuntu using nothing but Open Source tools: python/pygame, gVim, blender, the gimp, inkscape and audacity. I had no trouble getting it to work on any Linux (32-64bit), Windows and Mac OS X intel and ppc (installer packages included). Sound, graphics, ... no problem! I honestly don't know what they are complaining about, but they are probably doing something wrong or using the wrong tools.

Am I the only /.er who loves animals?
In my oppinion, experiments on mice and rats are plain stupid. The only thing those scientists have found until today is a lot of info on those poor little creatures, and nothing on humans. They can cure mice and rats of cancer, they know their entire DNA-string, they can grow other body parts on rats. And now they found how you can create more mouse-braincells. Well, don't expect that they will be able to do it with humans as well.

I pitty those cruel scientists who are simply wasting their time torturing animals.
