Not in that general of a sense, no. It is still Wine but now with significant resources invested in gaming-specific technologies.

That and relying on the DirectX API.

Working well for me so far. Windows games are installing and running. Some people are just adding the path to their Windows Steam games in the Linux Steam client and find that Steam Play is running those games!
Hopefully this doesn't give companies an excuse to ignore native Linux development.

No, it does not help recollection. It helps to form and store the information.
ie, drink cafeine when you study to store the information. Drinking caffeine during the test won't increase recollection though it will help focus.

Attached to: HP Making webOS Open Source
Alright, I'll bite. What is a good WebOS device for sale (I know, they're all discontinued) that we could buy and install the Opened OS on? The Veer appears to be the newest phone and the HP Touchpad the newest (only) tablet. I haven't previously paid much attention to their product line so I'm curious what hardware the WebOS enthusiasts prefer.

Quick summary on that since few people are mentioning these.
Maemo has been around for a few years and is sometimes called Debian on a phone. Most people run it on a Nokia n900.
MeeGo is the newer version of the OS that Nokia is partnering with Intel to create. The Nokia n9 should be out in a few months with other handsets to follow.

As if Maemo and MeeGo have already died? Maemo has a very active open source community and, even though MeeGo will supplant it, will live on for a long time.

You're on the other end of the spectrum, the cheap ass gamer spectrum. Like I said, this service appears to be geared towards the average PC gamer.
Then I would experience more computational lag, making RTT even less important.
Also, I bet you are experiencing plenty of system lag, whether you realize it or not. I had a friend like that, he thought his set up was fine on old hardware, absolute minimum settings possible. When I gave him my old parts to put in his box, he finally understood what I meant by his system lag
Sometimes I go to "lan houses" to play with friends, and they have computers than can sustain CoD4 in HQ & HD fine, but I find it to be pretty much the same, just more detailed. My score is about the same either.

Attached to: PayPal Freezes the Assets of Wikileaks.org
If your organization used Paypal and they froze your assets once, and you "struggled for more than half a year" to resolve it, why the fuck would you STILL be using Paypal?
Because they would probably need to setup many bank accounts in many countries. It's probably also ease-of-use. Easy to press a few buttons and fill out an amount with paypal and transfer money, than to transfer using say direct bank-transfer. This means people are more likely to donate...
Another example: I use paypal but I'd rather not. However, I sell specific items worldwide, and there are no other good wide used systems to transfer money from say the USA to the Netherlands. Bank transfer is something hardly used in the US for example, and if used, the cost is often prohibitive. So if I want to sell to the US, there's no real choice.
What's then annoying is that many Europeans (in euro countries) also use paypal... In Ebay you are not allowed to say "I won't use paypal for people in counties using the EURO".
This doesn't apply to wikileaks, but just gives an idea why sometimes you don't have a choice, or the others are just too expensive (bank transfer in the US too expensive, Western union is also fairly expensive and has other problems, etc.)

After all, the company behind the ads are paying for the website.
If you do not respond positively to the ad, than you make the company loose money.
So to read an article on the web, you should be buying cars, shampoo, computers, as advertised on the website you visit even if you would have prefer a Toyota than the Humvee you had to buy according to the ads on the website you just visited.
I decide not to see the ads.
You decide to see the ads but ignore them. If you click on the ads, that do not interest you, just to give money to the site, is kind of fraudulent. The company that pay for the ads displayed want people that are interested in their product to visit their own website.

OK, this was just a quick write up, what I meant to say was: 98% of delivery attempt including deliveries which get tags as high-scoring spam are deleted or kept for a few months or not accepted at the SMTP-level or TCP-level.
