My area in Idaho is also expected to be "front row seat" and they say to expect as much as 80,000 more people in the area (in addition to the existing 40,000).

I installed Steam on my Linux and Portal shows ... but it won't play on my Linux (lappy with under-appreciated video) because there isn't sufficient OpenGL support for my lappy's video.

Oh well, reboot in XP and I run Portal there.

32bit. Didn't delete any original folders.

The system is Xubuntu 13.04 (Xfce Ubuntu).

Also tried running the Descent 3 Loki CD on a Linux Mint (Mate) 14.1 that has never had any Descent 3 on it ... got the same bash message.

Yes, I made sure I was running with root access.

TechPro

Oh heck. :? I can't seem to get that command rename to lowercase command to work (3.3 in the instructions). I get a message: bash: sytax error near unexpected token 'do' Don't have any idea what to do about it. For now, I'm getting a message "Unable to open font lohud.fnt" when I try to run the game ...

I do appreciate it. I've had to rebuild my Linux systems and was a bit dismayed when I found my copy of D3 Loki is missing Disc 1. What you've done here will help greatly.

Nope. There used to be for the iPhone or iPod Touch ... But Apple specifically denied further apps at one point, and as the newer firmware versions rolled out ... The old apps no longer worked and Apple specifically wouldn't let them put new versions in the App Store. Supposedly, Apple did it to ...

My oldest brother recently hit a deer that hopped up onto the road right in front of him while he was riding his motorcycle. Broke several ribs (a couple in multiple places), broke his shoulder and shoulder blade, and suffered a hard head impact despite wearing a good helmet. Really messed him up ...

You'd be a bit provoked too if you we're being asked questions about something very dear and important to yourself... and the person asking the questions isn't letting you complete your response. The interviewer was being a total jerk. A BIG difference between Romney and Obama... Obama considers his ...

Side effect of traveling into the future ... day by day.

Personally, I wish my white hairs would hurry up and take over. They've got a lot more curl and wave than my dark brown originals. I'd love to have a full head of white.

Did none of you ever try Google Earth when it was first made available (and was a seemingly perpetual "beta")? Google Earth was riddled with these same kinds of issues. Overtime, errors and issues have been getting resolved and the product improved, especially with more and more usage. The same ...

TC, you really don't know much about American history, do you? Hoover was not the cause of the Great Depression at all. If anything, he was simply unfortunate enough to be the President of the U.S. (at that time prosperous and optomistic) when the economy (not just the US economy) took a plunge. Any ...

Just take one of the Mario fighting games, and substitute the mushroom kingdom characters with Disney characters and give them abilities similar to their movie roles .

It would sell to a few kids, that's about it. Sell it to gaming console makers. That's the only market.

Well, it appears very evident that the 'suspect' had been planning this for months. http://usat.ly/NIP5W8 So, whether he found access to the kind of weaponry he used or not, he would have found other stuff or other ways to 'lash out with' anyway. It's my opinion that better gun controls/laws would ...

All you've got is a "chest inflammation". Tell the doc that, he/she will check you and give you a prescription of anti-biotics and send you home. In a couple days you'll be right as rain (or nearly).

God created and provided the components that people/man used to make it, so shouldn't God still get the credit either way?
