Took me Long enough to get Call of Duty 4 to Run on Linux













This has been a long time coming. After getting all excited about the new Quakelive and I was dumping Windows for Linux and al. After a few minutes of gameplay I quickly remembered that I hate Quakes play style. I don't know why because I loved Doom 3 and it's really the same thing. But anyway I immediately jumped back onto WINE the Linux Windows Emulator to run games on Linux. I've never had much luck with it but I havn't tried it with the Karmic Kola Ubuntu Rlease 9.10. I got started with Call of Duty 4 and ran into the usual bunch of hurdles I wasn't expecting to get anywhere. So I got busy hamming out all the problems as they came and then suddenly HOLY SHIT! It's working?! I felt like blaring the Rocky music and running in circles around the neighborhood. Anyway Yeeah for me I finally got one to frakking work!

I made a few screen caps of it on my Ubuntu Dual Monitor set up.





UPDATE: I did run into a glitch with punkbuster. It's not stopping me from playing all together like most Linux glitches it's just preventing me from playing on servers with punkbuster. Basically I get an error that something is wrong the windows API. It'd be nice if I can find a way around it but at least there are still some active non-punkbuster servers but of course the ones I like best and usually play on are all punkbuster servers. The Non punkbuster servers tend to be non-hardcore syle. I enjoy the gameplay on hardcore more.

WAKE UP PEOPLE: The New World Order is here

This pretty clearly explains the Democrats failure to get their agenda done. They're not actually in power.

Thomas Jefferson Quotes

"I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country."
- Thomas Jefferson

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a moneyed aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."
- Thomas Jefferson

"The system of banking we have both equally and ever reprobated. I contemplate it as a blot left in all our constitutions, which, if not covered, will end in their destruction. I sincerely believe, with you...that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."
- Thomas Jefferson

"To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition. The incorporation of a bank, and the powers assumed by this bill [chartering the first Bank of the United States] have not, in my opinion, been delegated to the United States by the Constitution. They are not among the powers specially enumerated."
- Thomas Jefferson

"I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution - taking from the Federal government their power of borrowing (from privately-owned corporate banks)."
- Thomas Jefferson

"We are undone, my dear sir, if legislation is still permitted which makes our money, much or little, real or imaginary, as the moneyed interests shall choose to make it."
- Thomas Jefferson


Makes one wonder witch party he'd support? Neither
