You clearly don't know what you're talking about. It is a *fact* that the C subset of C++ is just as efficient as C, simply because there's no reason for it not to be, especially considering that GCC...

I think Notch would have to compile Minecraft with Rootbeer, for that to work.

If I understand the principles of Rootbeer correctly, then yes, Minecraft would very well be faster (in Theory, at...

Why C++ and not Python or even Lua? Those higher level languages allow for more abstraction. Python, for one, has an object oriented model with less C-like hackery intermixed. Embedding one of them...

I hope they will fix or implement something similar to Alt+Tab so we can exit from games.
Anyone have info about this?

Edit: I know about virtual consoles like Ctrl+Alt+Fn, they are good for now...

If you are running unstable, then it is your fault.

this competition is good. if clang becomes better than gcc, i'll switch to it.

but for now, gcc seems the best run-time speed wise

this is the beauty of FOSS - we have the choice.

In my opinion the current package managers are awesome for servers, but they lack on the desktop space.

Ingo Molnar had a few good posts about this (and desktop Linux in general):...

This news is BS. This commit is not in wheeze, only in unstable. Also over the past days many gnome packages got reuploaded with better compression so gnome can fit on the CD.

Bump.

The VGABIOS that I got from my memory seems to be correct, because newer version of qemu/kvm don't crash the VM, so it must have been a regression/bug.

I have also tried coreboot with my...

I agree.
It would be great if someone could provide their experiences about this...

May be worth a benchmark/article?

Great episode!

I can't wait to try Steam with L4D on Linux ;).

Yes, actually. Despite its faults, Quake 3/Quake Live is still the best competitive FPS game available. You are right in that iD don't make great single player games, but their multiplayer efforts...

Looking at it from an end-user perspective, what will change?

Heck, PulseAudio even got my "Windows-only"...

Did idleing stay the same?
