...and get your Windows money refunded, no reason to pay for crap you're not using (if you're installing from another copy or another OS altogether).

Well, I also have both Linux and Windows installed, mostly because I couldn't get League of Legends to run on WINE, so I understand what you're saying.

Are you sure your specialized software doesn't run in WINE, though? Games are pretty demanding, normal software should be way easier to run.

Otherwise I have found Linux…

You're right, of course. But you seem to have highlighted the price in your article, which is a bit of a touchy issue - English has only one word for free-as-in-beer and free-as-in-speech, which has caused much controversy and even the split in the community in people calling it Open Source and people calling it Free…

Please do not use Linux because it doesn't cost money. That's a really insignificant advantage - you can pirate Windows and it will cost you just as much. Use Linux because you want to be free to choose (your software, your UI, whatever), because you want to be free from spyware and bloatware and because you want to…

Some people don't play games (although I do, and Linux gets the job done nicely - natively through Steam or Windows games in WINE). There's no shortage of industry programs, whatever you need from ArchiCAD alternatives to much more specialized stuff :)

For bookmarks I use Diigo - the Diigo bookmarklet on Mobile Safari and the extension on desktop Firefox/Chrome. This way I can keep everything synchronized on 3 web browsing devices with 3 different browsers, plus I can even access my bookmarks on a public URL if I need to look something up on a friend's PC or if I…

I had the same problem. It's almost like Apple hates the people that make apps for their devices - because I didn't want to use a Mac and/or Objective C, I started developing my app as an HTML5 app - but then found out I can't look at the console output without a Macintosh computer! Thankfully the device-specific code…

Themed it like Mac OS X, but XCode still doesn't work (something about .dmg files not being recognized). Great OS otherwise.

The best article I could find is http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/Alexandr… , but you have probably already seen it...

The PowerVR guys say that we've gotten to the point where we use up _more_ resources to make our approximations look decent than it would have cost to go directly with raytracing. And their hardware is optimized for mobile, so... I'd personally laugh my ass off if my tablet has better graphics than my desktop for 2W…

You obviously haven't played Civilization... just one more turn and it's bed time! ...aaaaaaand it's another season outside... again...

It's a pretty serious simulation, but with nice graphics and cartoonish characters (whose idea is to make the inevitable crash & burn less intimidating and keep you playing, I guess).

"lol forgot the parachute" :D

There are indeed a lot of leeches...

Slacker is not available in my country... but I don't get it why paying for music would be a joke, if it's reasonable and you're enjoying it, why not? If the money allows an artist you like to continue working full-time to bring you more music, I think that's a win-win. And money is disposable anyways, it's not like…

If only live performances didn't suck that hard... Only Iron Maiden's are worth it, for all other groups the studio recording has far superior quality.

At least it sounds like you're having fun! :D

Yeah, I get what you mean - not music you'd blast on your stereo, but you have to admit it did do a great job of setting the mood. And this was at the time when hiring a symphonic orchestra to make game music was a little bit unusual :)

is this climaxy enough for you? (P.S. not referring to the title...)

"GTFO n00b". Also, "I banged your mom", which would technically be true.
