You entirely missed the point of that phrase, both how it was used here and how it is in fact used in almost every case. It doesn't refer to literal begging. What it means is that, as long as you rely on someone else to give you something out of the goodness of their heart (i.e. this isn't a business relationship; you don't pay them), you don't get to complain about what they choose to give you. Basically, what Darkangel is saying is that you shouldn't complain, because if you want a better variety of models, make them yourself.

That's odd; on my computer, the Linux partition doesn't show up at all. I'm actually going to leave that question mostly to DarthWound, as I'm not sure how Fedora sets up partitions by default (some distros have just one partition; some have 9) or if it uses MBR or GPT [which is a technical thing about how the partitions are stored; however: will you boot Windows from this disk, or just use it for data?]. However, general stuff: Repartition can mess up data, but it shouldn't. Back up anything you don't want to lose, but if you just installed Fedora, it shouldn't be a huge issue to reinstall. Change the partitions while booting from a livecd, not on a live system (you shouldn't do it from Windows's default utility; to resize a partition, you should use a tool that recognizes that filesystem, which Windows's partition manager does not). Tip: When you do resize partitions, try to shrink from the end. If you move the beginning of the partition, you have to move all the data; if you shrink it, you don't. Once the partitions are set up, you can do whatever you want to the NTFS-designated one from Windows without worrying about it affecting Linux.

I mean, it's ELS because it was made to demo ELS 7, so that wasn't really something that could have been different. That said, it's also unlocked (IIRC). DLer: I'm actually generally more confused by ELS for vanilla cars. If you're going to go low-poly vanilla, you may as well do non-ELS also.

You're missing a close-paren, for one. For two, shouldn't the argument you pass be an object, not a type? It should be GTA.Vector3 target = *target*; destination = Blip.AddBlip(target); You don't specify the type. You just pass the object.

I'm not DarthWound, and my knowledge is more general than Fedora-specific, but I'll give these a shot. Software is downloaded from repositories, which are basically collections of packages. The default repositories run on Red Hat servers (Red Hat is the company behind Fedora; in general, for Linux systems, the default repositories are run by whoever makes that distribution). However, anyone who wants can have their own repository, with their own packages. You can control which repositories yum uses: generally, you'll mostly stick to the defaults, but you can add new ones if they have something you want. Not all packages make it into the official repositories, or the official ones might have an out-of-date version of a package. When I say repositories are run by whoever makes the distribution: Not only do they generally run the actual servers, but they also decide what packages go in the repository and what don't (they also decide what packages are in the default install and what packages are not). Anyone who wants to can make a package and send it to them to ask to include it; obviously, they don't include *all* of them. Alternatively, you can download actual package files (RPMs, for Fedora) from, say, a website, and install them directly (i.e. not from the repository). A lot of this stuff is tied to the terminal. It's easiest to install a package if you know its name: tools are most often optimized to install specific software, not to help you find general software. If you want to install a mail program, it's often easiest to find the program through eternal means, and *then* install it with the package manages. Mint and Ubuntu do have a reputation for user-friendliness. I have heard that it's basically possible to use Linux systems with almost no use of a terminal; since I happen to be relatively adept at using a terminal, I often drop back to it. In general, using the terminal can be easier if you really *know* what you're doing; graphical interfaces are easier if you are still learning, and while you adjust. When I was learning to use the terminal, I made heavy use of Google (still do, when there's something I don't know how to do). I've never heard of Windows automatically reformatting a hard drive without prompting. It might prompt you if it detects it as a removable drive, but I've dual-booted (on partitions, not an external/separate drive) with Win7 and it doesn't say a thing about the other partition. It knows it's there, but it can't begin to read it, and it's fine with that. GParted is the standard graphical partition editor. It is nice and powerful; it does talk about things like "aligning partitions", but I don't think this is a huge issue for you (and that's the most confusing message I remember from it). You shouldn't need a partition editor often, anyway. I will say this: When messing around with partitions, if you are resizing them, it's best to do that while booting the computer from a livedisk [meaning the system runs from a CD, without needing to install anything to the hard drive]. You can get a Gparted livedisk, which you just pop in, reboot, select "boot from CD", and you have GParted (the issue with that livedisk in particular is that if you need a web browser, the one it has is many years old). GParted is free, like almost everything you'll use on Linux systems. If they're both internal hard drives, it certainly shouldn't cause any issues. The standard way to dual-boot has both systems on separate partitions of the same drive; neither Windows (7, at least) nor Linux cares if you have other OSs on other drives/partitions. First, 'su -' is exactly the same (and is quicker to type). Second, there's an issue with learning using "su": In general, it is a really, really bad idea to run as root for general purposes. Instead, what you should do is only become root for individual commands. The most common way to do this is to type 'sudo *yourcommand*'. You then type your own password when prompted. It's not that it's necessarily better, it's that it reinforces better practices. Linux is generally less energy-hungry than Windows.

1) What c13 is referring to, obliquely, is the fact that you can't sue the police for failing to respond. The Supreme Court ruled that the police are there to protect the public, but they are not there to protect you personally (special cases aside). It's not that the police don't protect people; it's that you aren't entitled to a police response unless there is some special relationship. That is not to say that they don't have to protect the public, only that you can't sue them for not protecting you. About responding vs. investigating: The idea there is that police can't respond fast enough to stop a crime in progress. Because they really can't. It's not that they don't respond to crimes; it's that, if someone starts shooting, they are likely to be finished by the time the police show up minutes later. A patrol officer doesn't just investigate; they are there to protect the public, they do respond to calls for help, they do patrol to find crimes and stop them. However, they can't respond fast enough to matter in a shooting. 3) I like what a friend of mine said: "Alex Jones has somehow made Piers Morgan look like the good guy in an argument." At this point, citing Alex Jones makes me much less likely to support the side.

I've *used* a lot of distros, as well (lots of Arch desktop use, plus Fedora and OpenBSD [i didn't use either of those through GUI, though]).

Jay: In a lot of cases, that's doubtful. *Especially* when you are monetizing the video. Copyright infringement isn't actually a crime in the US. Yes, the RIAA and MPAA lied in those ads. It's a *civil* offense; it can only be enforced by the copyright owner filing a lawsuit. However, copyright infringement for profit *is* a criminal offense. You don't just face a lawsuit from the game publisher; youi might find yourself facing your local prosecutor. Going along with that, commercial use of copyrighted content has a much higher bar for "fair use". People talking about Vimeo: You realize that they would also have to respond to takedown requests, right? It's also a US company, and has to obey US laws. Vimeo doesn't want to be sued any more than Youtube does.

Technically videos of gameplay are covered in the copyright the game publisher has over their game. Youtube *has* to enforce copyright if asked. If they refuse a takedown request, they can become liable for the actions of their users (that's the whole point of DMCA takedowns - Youtube isn't held responsible for their users' content, but only if they do act if it's brought to their attention). So, if they get complaints, it's not like they have a choice.

Fedora does have an "app store". Every program in it is free. It's called a repository. That's actually one of my favorite things about Linux systems - it's insanely easy to install software from packages. You don't need to deal with everyone's individual installers; it's a unified interface. Personally, I've never been huge on Fedora (I don't particularly like yum; I prefer how apt-get works); then again, most of my experience is on computers which I didn't control the distro of (and ran Ubuntu). I definitely love the customization. With one basic OS, I have used: command-line (both bash and zsh), GNOME, KDE, LXDE, and XFCE. A single OS, with 5 completely different display environments. That's just cool.

See, here's the thing. Rockstar doesn't care about fansites like this. If people throw out the game after a few weeks, Rockstar couldn't care less. They already got paid for the game. Rockstar isn't here to make communities. They're here to make money.

Posting that here is what is called, in technical terms, "preaching to the converted".

First, please use a more useful title than "WHY?!" I'd suggest "Why isn't my car white when it has a white texture?" Second, please actually tell us what car this was.

It is. The link is in the first post.

I wouldn't say "complete failure", seeing as the primary objective for the first day (establish solid beachheads in order to land further troops and mount an assault inland) was achieved. Complete failure would be if the assault was repelled from all 5 beaches by the end of the day; it was not, and after the first day, was pretty well established.

I don't recognize it as 6/6, but I do recognize it as June 6. I blame audiobooks.
