In turbine aircraft engines that is not the case though. Injecting water inside turbine engine causes fuel to go unburned, hence the black smoke.

I think it is sort of hard to asses the "true value" of a game, but I do agree with you that No Man's Sky is No Where Close of being worth $60 in comparison to other games.

That is still under 2 hours per day. Not that much in my books, especially if you do not watch TV or play other games...

Emphasis on "most suckless projects". The point was that you can verify the integrity by reading the source code. The actual limits to this depend on many things.

Bleh. It is the same brouhaha that surrounds every overhyped game. This has been going on for ages. I guess the new twist is that gamers pay up front, sometimes years ahead, and that only adds to the disappointment when the game actually co

And with "compete monopoly" I was referring to Microsoft who has abused its position on the market multiple times to thwart competition. You have to understand that "Linux" differs greatly from Microsoft Windows(R) becau

I get somewhat weary when I hear somebody say that "Linux is a failure on x because..." Anyway, where did you get that definition? It is the view of the Linux Zealot. To say that it some sort of general definition is just silly. Y

Not because of Programmers who think that the time spent writing documentation would be better spent programming some more? ;)

The other channel: read the source code yourself before compiling. This actually possible with most suckless projects since they are just a couple of hundred lines of C...

Actually being "free/open/libre" software has had everything to do with the success of Linux. However, I've heard the high cost of UNIX licenses in the early 90s was the reason why Linus decided to start his project

The argument does not imply that killing animals for food is wrong, but that it is wrong to disconnect people from that reality and expect them to make moral decisions.

People are far removed from seeing the actual results of their decisions. Humans are also very good at self deception. Even if you sort of know your beef is butchered, it carries little meaning since you never have to see it happen. Same go

Yes. My point was that it is trivial for Microsoft to implement support for an open system, compared to implementing support for a closed system such as Windows. There would be better support for running Windows applications under Linux if

by qplex 10y ago
It is rather trivial for Microsoft to implement support for Linux. Also, if Windows source code was freely available there would be support for Windows applications on Linux.

It's called 'unstable' for a reason. New stuff breaks. Often.

by qplex 11y ago
Perhaps not, but that was the core of your argument, wasnt it? That Linux is still in the sorry state it was back then, in the way that still, in 2016 Linux is behind the proprietary OSes? Sorry to break it to you, but this is simply false.

I really can not understand how anyone would trust Windows or anything else from M$ after what they have pulled off so far. Go with Linux if you want to build on something that is not built on sand, greed and damned lies.

I must say you are quite delusional to argue that Linux desktop is still in the same state as it was in 1997.

Doctors mostly do their work inside the system and their knowledge is limited to "legal" options. In my experience you cannot even mention weed without being stigmatized as a "drug user". For me, weed works very well, I
