I'm not sure what you mean? I have seen plenty of stable and fun open source games (esp. while HappyPenguin.org website was still live). I have also seen a lot of shitty games, both open and closed source (take a look at Google Play).

I had great experience with Hurricane Electric. SSH access, servers without I/O bottlenecks. There's no cPanel or other crap pre-installed, so it turns away beginners and inexperienced developers who would write crappy unoptimized

I have no idea why you were down-voted. It's the truth. Now, to answer why is it so hard to understand? Many people here are programmers/engineers and fail to understand how marketing and nice packaging can sell. Especially if the

Exactly. And another, very important thing at that time: IE4/5 was much faster and lightweight than Netspace. I recall using IE all the time just because it take NN forever to start up. The only contender on the speed front was Opera.

I find time limited trials useless. For user, it is inconvenient, because maybe the time is not enough to test complex software. For developers it's bad because user can simply reinstall the software again when trial period is over. In

Players are rapidly moving away from the web. The casual ones play their games on mobile and hard core ones are back on PC. Developers know this and that's why you can see a huge influx of Flash-like games on mobile and somewhat on PC

Google can also be mandatory for a company your work for, or a client you provide services to. Yeah, you could opt out to work for that company/client, but that's no different than attending another school. There's really no

I'm not looking down on anything or anyone. I'm just analyzing the state of SO today versus the first few years when it started. As for the question, you obviously didn't read what I wrote carefully. I get served a full page

You are both right. 90% of the websites on the Internet do look the same. You only have 10% (probably even less) products that are special and noteworthy.

SO had a great year 1, and maybe year 2. You know, when real questions were asked. Now you have beginners asking so simple questions it's both funny and tragic at the same time. Here's the first question in the list when I opened

Most probably the developers working on Linux port run 32 bit Linux themselves because of compatibility with some closed-source programs. ;) I have no idea about the real reason, it's just a wild guess.
