Yea, I'm self teaching myself, I just don't learn well in a course enviroment :\ I'm doing a course now in web development, but it's tottally lost my interest now so I sit here teaching myself C, stuff like javascript and that just bore me because it's so easy but also so limited. I also like being able to tweak my OS to perfection, though gentoo goes too far into obserdity with the tweaking, but I use it because it's just so simple to use.

I don't see why flash-player hasn't been made into free-software, they give it away for free, so whats the problem in sharing the source code? Perhaps too many rudely named variables :P

As far as PC gaming goes, I've gotten bored of it, it's good for stratergy, but the PC market is just flooded with first person shooters & that gets boring.

Oh some RPG's are okay, but I don't like the ones where you have to first buy the software, and then pay to be allowed to even play it, and then they quote that they need to money for server mainatnence, BS! If only 100,000 people (and there are much more) were playing word of warcraft and paying $20 a month that's still $2M a month, and no amount of game servers cost that much per month to maintain.

*EDIT* I forgot to mention planeshift, this is looking like great RPG and is free-software & will have no on going charges, it's still in development, last time I tried it on windows at my friends it seemed real laggy, but that could have just been his internet.
