Scientists get a million Linux kernels to run at once

And the MacOS has some truly horrible, finger-bending keyboard shortcuts that make it very unlikable to me.
Such as?
But... so what? Is somebody holding a gun to my head, or yours, making us use Macs?
It just seems silly to me. Use the right tool for the job. Be it a Mac, Windows, Linux, or whatever--if it suits you and your needs, use it. If it doesn't, don't. But what's the use complaining about it?
To keep conversation going in TNZ.
If Epic Games will make a Linux version for UT2004, why don't more companies port it over? Linux nerds like shooters too. Having to use an emulator just gets in the way of my fun, dammit!
Wine isn't actually an emulator, but it's the same reason why many games don't get ported to OSX... it costs money to make a port and if a company doesn't think it's going to be profitable, they won't make it. Desktop penetration of Linux simply isn't enough to justify most ports from the perspective of most publishers. Even Epic, for instance, didn't port UT3.
UT3 has enough troubles running on a Windows box. I'm not surprised that hasn't been ported yet.
The rumor is that the Linux client is done but Epic is just sitting on it for some reason. This could be the new DNF.
I doubt it... UT is cool but, it will never be as iconic (or as screwed over) as the Duke. Hail to the King, Baby!
This, my friends, is why most people won't go near Linux with someone else's computer. I thought Mac-bots were bad... this was just condescending and rude. I'm waiting for the Linux human depopulation and sterilization program to begin.

I'm wondering if these Linux kernels which are being used to simulate how viruses and bots spread across the internet isn't being used to bug networks and computers for surveillance purposes by our government?
The Unreal franchise may not be "iconic" but it has been a hell of a lot more profitable. The real money is in selling engine licenses, and they sell a lot of Unreal Engine licenses.
Probably not. The Gubmint ain't that smart and they normally ignore you until you make yourself a threat.

I know. I've used those engines before. I have a Game Design degree, remember?
Duke would have been profitable too if 3DRealms would've gotten their shit straight and did the damn work. Those lazy bastards didn't even bother using Game Design documents!
msbae,
But then 9/11 came and things have changed a lot. You're talking about a government that monitored essentially every phone call, every internet transmission, and every e-mail sent and received for several years.

Well, if that's true, they'll probably think I'm a freak and I'll have to get a new MOS that doesn't require a security clearance. Thankfully, it's not true. I like the idea of having a job with a security clearance, lots of electronics/IT training and a $25,000 bonus.

Er, I'm sure they had design documents--it would be impossible to design a game of any complexity without some kind of guiding documentation. It may not fit whatever templates you were given in game design school, but I have no doubt they had something to work from.

Yeah, the idea that they didn't have any documentation is pretty silly. Of course they did!
3D Realms problem wasn't laziness... it was that they had money coming in and the guy at the top who had full run of the project kept having it scrapped and redone. The economy went down the toilet and with it went their source of income and so they ran out of money. That's pretty much it.
Certainly it was mishandled... but to say that the reason the game never came out was because they didn't have design docs is a pretty strange assertion. Especially since a quick Google search informs me that some of their docs actually leaked out a few months ago.

George Broussard was actually quoted in one of my textbooks saying that 3DRealms didn't use them and he thought they were a waste of time. I was quite flabbergasted when I read that...
And that quote is totally correct; game design is an iterative process. You can't plan everything out in detail until you actually know if your game is going to be, you know, fun. And it turns out that's actually really hard! Design docs are good. Over-designing is bad.
