You can buy CDs from places like osdisc.com for a few
dollars; it's not extravagant. Not being able to burn
an iso is one of the defects of Windoze; Linux/OS
X/Free BSD systems include that capability at no extra
charge.

Does Linux have a decent development environment yet? After using Visual
studio, it would be a horrible loss of productivity to go back to
vi/make/gdb. Of course the linux command line tools are great when you want
them, but they are available on Windows through cygwin, so by developing on

it's because the great majority of games are between experienced players
whose strength is not changing much. I also feel that the existing KGS
ratings work well for those players already. So how about focusing on how

All I can say is that if even burning an ISO CD from windows
frustrates you, you are probably not going to like Linux.
Having said that, it's a bit ironic that burning an ISO image is easy
in Linux but that you have to scour the web to find a way to do it in
Windows.It's no surprise
Hi everyone!
This is another call for Go enthusiasts to help us developing a usable solver
for our Facebook Go project.
We developed a working game controller so far that allows Facebook friends to
play a Go match with each other. The only missing thing for the first release
is a working

Hi Rémi,
For a while I have considered overhauling the rating system for CGOS.
My system is ad-hoc and based on gradually increasing K factor based on
your opponents K in the standard ELO formula.
I don't know if your idea here is feasible for a computer server,
because presumably the

How does 500 elo points compare to kyu ranks?
Beginning players do improve by 4-5 ranks in a short
period of time. We don't all start as dan-level

That's partly a side effect of the current rating system...

It might be that most of those games aren't visible to the rating

That might explain why a rating system may have a hard time

Linux is a time sinkhole to someone not familiar with it.You are
