Yes, as far as I can remember there was no option to adjust the sensitivity. However there seems to be a third party hack that fixes the issue: https://github.com/AWilliams17/Halo-CE-Mouse-Tool/releases

Sometimes it's nice to have a limited canvas to work on. For example in demoscene the art is to make these old consoles or computers do wonderful things that seem impossible on such limited resources.

The controls and the gameplay. Graphics were arguably better on the PC; higher resolution and better frame rate, but it was not well optimized. So the PC version was definetly a port of a console FPS and it showed. Mouse aiming was awful (t

While I agree that Halo had great music and graphics, and was overall a good game, the controls on the PC were actually somewhat sluggish compared to other FPS titles. Bungie was originally developing it for Macintosh but they sold out to M

Indeed. Long gone are the days when people made extra content for games just for fun (skins, maps, mods etc). The hobbyist modders have actually created few of the most popular games today such as Counter-Strike and Dota.

Actually GNOME 3 is super easy to use as a simple tiling wm. You can use Win+Arrow keys to arrange the windows etc. The title bars and other UI elements are quite large though, probably for usability reasons. Traditional tiling wm's wa

RMTP license is pretty interesting as it among other things prohibits circumvention of "technological measures for the protection of audio, video and/or data content" Also things like ad injection are not features for the end

Perhaps the best thing to do is to file the bugs against Debian. That way Ubuntu among the other derivatives will eventually silently upstream the fixes.

I think that's quite a downplay on Jobs achievements. It's well known that Jobs wasn't perfect, but he did have vision and an amazing capability to develop and sell products. I wonder what he'd say to the current MacBoo

Sure, I didn't mean that anything is intrinsically dull. In my experience, clubs outside schools are much better because the kids actually want to be there. However they often push some competitive agenda to the kids, especially when t

In my opinion school gym/sport classes can be very good at completely sucking the living joy out of exercise. Athleticism and sports should not be forced on kids. Let them run freely. Eg. Just look at all the "free" street sp

It's not inefficiency in systems design. Some jobs are simply bullshit to begin with, and what actually enables us to have them around are the very efficient systems we have.

Yes, I'm pretty sure the cost of doing it is why they decide not to do it. Business logic and all that, more profit for Google. Edit: And you are right, it's not really free service since you opt for your data to be mined by Googl

I think it's not acceptable, but there is really no way around it. Google provides free services to over a billion people and it it would probably cost them too much to provide real support. It's just too bad you can't have a

The big AAA titles have grown to insanely complex multi 100$ million projects, so at least in that way the stakes are higher. Some good games that would deserve awards just don't get the media attention also.

I'll admit I'm happy with a basic desktop setup. Probably it's part of the reason why I don't have much trouble or complaints either. Linux has worked on x86 workstations _very_ well for well over 10 years, but it has al

I haven't used RedHat since they started to charge for it. Fedora 27 was ok. I think Linux generally works on the desktop. It's true that GNOME 3 is still buggy. I've had Nautilus crash on me while copying files and other hor
