| 7135 | 3050 | news | -1 | Patience..running..out.. | <p>I broke down and bought the game this weekend. I find it a buggy piece of crap in places, but I played the out-of-the-box version. <p>I won't be going online before there is a Linux version, though. At least I get to play the single-player a bit. Looks like it can take me a while, as I found it to change a bit when restarting with a slightly higher level character. <p>My only comfort while waiting for this is that Mac users are in the same boat. That sort of boosts the potential sales, doesn't it? <p>I hope that the issues they are having are all related to keeping one codebase for the three supported platforms (really more, as you never know how the different Win32 editions work!) <p>This incoherent post now ends. <p>O-EvilIdler, game junkie | 2002-11-05 04:32:04 | 0 |
| 7141 | TeamSpeak | games | -1 | Re: License? | Why should a GPLed application have to be comprised of all GPLed components? Hmm? Doesn't happen in Windows too often -- compile a program in VC7 and you have to link to all sorts of libraries that aren't GPLed. Don't see you complaining about those. Maybe they might actually want to make money off of their software, in the least obtrusive way possible. Ever think of that? That a company might want to stay alive? You offer no argument, just opinionated, elitist garbage that most of the Linux community gets on with. "Everything should be GPLed! I deserve the source code to everything, without restriction! God forbid anyone actually start a business selling code, yet give it away free for use!" Grow up. | 2002-11-05 09:01:42 | 7134 |
| 7143 | TeamSpeak | games | -1 | Still a long way to go | the current evolution is okay, but there's still a long way to go before I will considder using linux just as single OS, I still need my windows too much, and I use linux only as my java and C++ coding platform (the multidesktop, multiconsole, multi-gui usage is FAAR beyond what windows will ever be able to pull off..) but my general browsing etc, is still under windows (would be linux if I could more sucessfully map my mousebuttons and find a tool like winkey and be able to install gabber, etc...) | 2002-11-05 11:43:12 | 7131 |
| 7144 | 3050 | news | 4 | Re: WHO CARES... | Did the thought ever occur to someone that if they are going through the learning curve of porting a game to Linux themselves, they wont let that experience sit unused in the future? | 2002-11-05 12:33:56 | 7068 |
| 7145 | Tribes 2 | games | -1 | Linux binary with Windows CD | Where can I find a Linux binary that would work with a Windows CD of Tribes 2? | 2002-11-05 13:16:14 | 0 |
| 7146 | Tribes 2 | games | -1 | Re: windows cd | I'd rather use Linux for my OS because it GETS THE JOB DONE BETTER (my opinion). I will use open source OR commercial applications/games, whatever GETS THE JOB DONE BETTER (my opinion). | 2002-11-05 13:20:59 | 6734 |

God forbid anyone actually start a business selling code, yet give it away free for use!" Grow up. <br><br> You need to grow up. The original poster has never said such thing. As you can see if you read it again. <br><br> There's nothing wrong with software being closed. But since this site is linux centric and linux is formed mostly of opensource software, in a developer point of view, there are certain distribution and license concerns when you want to develop a GPL program with closed source, specially because of a "non-comercial use" clause. He was just pointing that out, not criticising. <br><br> But since you seem to generalize so much, I could say that you gave "the usual reactionay anti-gpl" crap. | 2002-11-05 17:40:25 | 7141 |
| 7150 | TeamSpeak | games | -1 | Re: License? | Perhaps you have never read the GPL? Using the GPL license, without modifications, means your software may only be linked against other software that have a license compatible with the GPL (such as newer BSD licenses). Linking meaning against dll's, so's or any other external library/program loaded/needed at runtime. Linking your software with software that has a license not compatible with the GPL invalidates the license of the software you wrote. In that case you have four paths: <ol> <li>Add an exception to the GPL as distributed with your program specifically allowing linking with the said external software;</li> <li>Use a different license;</li> <li>Find other software that provides the functionality you need and has a license compatible with the GPL; or</li> <li>Write your own software necessary to complete your functionality.</li> </ol> Why go through all that hassle? Because distributing software under an invalid license hurts the user(s) of that software. It can even cause legal snafus until everything is corrected. | 2002-11-05 19:46:25 | 7141 |
