Well dee dee dee, if we measured the temperature and the CO2 level and they match up perfectly for the last couple hundred milleniums, then it must be the sun's light amount changing! I mean geeze, it's not like we can measure the sun's light amount perfectly and haven't found any significant differences in the last couple decades or anything. Yup, must be the sun's fault. Anyway, if some scientists want to study global warming with their head up their ass, then that's their problem but either way, remember the story on Slashot a while ago about building a giant dimmer sheet thingy around the earn like a big sunglass lense? That would fix the problem regardless of the cause!
The KKK's website makes them look like the boy scouts and Hyperion's website makes them look like a decent, professional company. But in fact, unless I'm completely mistaken, Hyperion is the brand of computer Walmart actually sold for like $300 a year or so ago. They were insanely cheap for what they had but still, it was a terrible computer. So "Hyperion Solutions" are apparently to sell you bottom of the bin crap. Great pick Oracle!
Hey, eliminating Symantec (more specifically Norton) from the world is my goal too!:D Then again, I'd target AOL first if I wrote a virus lol. But yay to the person who wrote it. I mean really, when you remove a Symantec product from someone's computer it's like removing a virus. It runs twice as fast and everything works again. They're doing everyone a service!
well in that case, why did they leave out the magical unicorn horn dust to accelerate the Mr. Fusion power supply so the transisters in the quantum processor can move faster than the speed of light? Geeze, stupid Dell always putting in their "real" parts that "exist" in their notebooks. They should really think outside the box of reality sometime.
If I made a game and finally got it all done and it was really good and I wanted to sell as many copies as possible, the last thing I'd do is limit it to a very underpopular retailer! You might as well just put your development money in a big pile and light it on fire. So if this system continues, then logically Gamestop will be known for carrying really bad games that Walmart wouldn't take or games made by very very very stupid developers that think it's a good idea to give Gamestop exclusivity. That of course, will kill Gamestop so it's a pretty stupid decision.
wow, that's quite an interested technical statement to say they found a way to block ANYONE forever. Anyone can sit down at any computer and you can't tell the difference. The only way would be if he's in jail and apparently he's not so I wonder but genius at eBay wrote up that statement. Btw in case you didn't know, eBay owns Paypal so obviously their general IT and technical designing isn't so great already.
if microsoft stops being arrogant morons and/or the firefox makers stop being different just cuz, and Opera makers will stop being oblivious, and people just plain stop using Netscape, they'll adopt one single standard for everything to do with XML and I'll stop having to write CSS files that are twice as big and duplicating lines in my XML files.
And you can't forget how they messed up the other direction. They made the EXACT SAME MISTAKE AS XP! *throws his computer out the window* If you have 3.5 GB of open RAM, it will STILL take tons and tons and tons of extra read/writes on the hard drive and ram to optimize the memory currently in RAM. If you so much as switch between two programs, it will cache some and write it to the hard drive and run AI test cycles on the processor to determine the likelyhood of you coming back to the program and rate it on a 0-7 scale. In fact, that's the only real difference. Now it's harder and slower for windows to decide the priority of memory and it's more likely to predict your actions incorrectly and wastes resources and time in the meantime. If there's more than half the ram open, I say just LEAVE IT ALONE!
well that's simple. Hyper would imply that it's fast. They try and make most of the Ready features sound fast but they're BARELY faster than XP. The features that use USB flash drives for example are limited to a max read speed of 10 MB/sec (and that's on a well built one) compared to like 80+ on an internal SATA drive. It's sooooo slow to read data off a flash drive, I don't know why they're even using one for anything that's supposedly fast. Thus the Ready instead of Hyper.
well hook a bunch up to air conditioners and global warming will solve itself:P (Yes I DO know that they put off almost as much heat out their output vents as they take out of the air lol)
At least google's ads aren't stupid, annoying, flashing banners like doubleclick's. I think they're responsible for the stupid RS ones. Most RS players are under 18 and don't wanna meet sexy singles lol. Google ads are good cuz they're in context though and there's really no context in games so it might be more annoying that google ads we're used to seeing but less annoying than they could be. I'm still a fan of actual in game item sponsors. I don't mind drinking a Sierra Mist to replenish my MP instead of an unbranded blue potion lol.
The US military has already made about 5 years ago a boot where each step compresses a thing that generates electricity and it was enough to power a laptop. This doesn't sound like it would generate that much so I say stick with The Boots of Power! (I named em that, not the gov lol)
speaking of etching, China can probably laser etch it into an existing satellite up there for cheaper;-) They got that high powered anti-satellite laser after all.
Boy will the shit hit the fan if someone steals a computer previously used or recently used at Area 51. Can you say, antigravity car in your backyard?:-P Well okay, maybe they couldn't build it but wouldn't it fun when all the interesting stuff they do there is revealed? I can't wait! (cuz duh, it's only a matter of time)
I hope you're not implying that's okay. Remember N64 games? There were almost no glitches or error and certainly no crashing in 99% of the games. That's because they had no way to patch them so they had to be perfect so they actually tested the hell out of a game before shipping it. And now we've got...well...splinter cell for Xbox live lol. When it released, you could in fact jam your skin into the wall and walk around as an invisible 3D model. You could also enter the spot you're not supposted to on most maps and camp at their respawn point. Silkroad Online crashes more often than not on launching. Halo 2 online is a joke with superbounces and stuff. WoW has so many botters and gold drones it's unbelievable. It takes very simple lines of code to fix every problem I listed here, you just have to think ahead and have the "anything can happen so prevent even if it's not supposed to be possible" mentallity.
When people in the US say "I wouldn't have bought that movie/software if I couldn't download it so the sellers aren't losing any money." That's probably not 100% true most of the time, but in third world countries they aren't kidding when they say that. Paying $100 or more USD for XP per computer is not gonna happen so Microsoft isn't losing any market at all. If they want to make money there, they should sell super cheap versions with the language locked in so it can't be resold back to US people for low prices and they'd have the best possible solution.
it's a basic law of selling stuff to test it with one of everything it could be doing up to a reasonable point BEFORE it ships. I mean geeze, what if e-mail didn't work over it? They're just asking for some kind of mass disaster with the "we want money now so we'll release it and patch it later" mentallity that just about every software and hardware company has these days.
I could have sworn that in a free market, the price of any product "should be" what buyers are willing to pay for it. I think the RIAA idiots need to go back to economics class.
it takes 3 grams of helium-3 to power a standard thousand megawatt generator for 30 minutes if it was 100% efficient. Since there's 0.01 parts per million of it in the lunar crust, it would take more energy to extract and bring back to Earth than it would give off. So people that say we'll try and gather it there don't know what they're talking about. It would be much more better use of energy to host Pirate Bay from there since it's not really in any country's jurisdiction hehehe
one update and everyone torrent client will use a random port number. Then ISPs will have to identify torrent traffic by the pattern it downloads in and other stuff. Then when other programs that happen to work similarly get throttled, the law suits will fly. In fact, I think I'm going to go change what port my client runs on right now:)
as an experienced Starcraft expert who played over 1000 games with a record on my best account of 650-50-30ish, I can tell you that over 75% of the players used Map Hack and if they didn't, they didn't win. Of course, nobody could use the hacks for about a week after every patch because it would take only that long for people to remake the hacks to work with the new version. As a programmer I can say that's utterly sad because it's not hard at all to keep people from using DLLs that you wrote! Anyway, it's amazing how a completely hacked up game got so popular and stayed that way. I guess when everyone cheats, everyone's back on the same level though. They should have just gotten rid of map fog completely lol. It also helps that it's a RTS game cuz C&C Renegade has aim hacks and stuff and there's like 4 servers open with 30 players total at any given time cuz they have anti-hacks installed with auto banning code. FPS games are just dumb when people cheat....well then wtf is up with Halo 2 online? Ugh, I'm so confused! No wonder more good super-hit games don't come out. Nobody can figure out what makes them good.

Actually the center of a black hole is the blackest material ever found because it reflects 0 photons

Well clearly they're going to hire Ryan Seacrest and make a ton of American Idol games then

free upgrades could lose some money in support and delays but selling downgrades back to XP for angry customers could be a goldmine!

you gotta mix it up a little. It can't be all mexicans coming into the US. We gotta get some Norweigans too cuz they're cool. I'm all for this law!
