Game creation then was just a few guys programming, but now writing a game is like making a movie. It just requires too many people and too much work. There is no more room for creativity.
I think it is too late for terrestrial radio to recover. Satellite radio, streaming audio, and portable music players have completely taken the place of FM radio for about 75% of the people I know. (and the other 25% are just too old or set in their ways to change)
Tripled it's subscription base? How many of those are people with multiple accounts? You are basically required to have multiple accounts to get anywhere because the game is so slow moving.
A motorcycle won't be any good in winter or rain though. So you'll end up having to buy a car anyway. This is my main reason for not switching to one. Also they are horribly loud.
Trying to protect people named "Slut Puppy" and "Master Pimp?" And I thought "CmdrTaco" was bad!! People who choose nicknames like this shouldn't have any rights, IMO. Lethal injection, please. Thanks.
For one thing you should be happy that "Open Source" is even mentioned in politics. It means people are starting to pick up on the idea, even if they haven't got it quite right yet.
The "Open Source" advocates have only themselves to blame. They were the ones that wanted to dilute the requirements so nonsense like the Apple, Mozilla, QT, etc. licenses could be classified as "Open Source." Now it is so diluted that its only meaning to the public is "if you can see the source code, then it's open source." This is because there are such a variety of licenses classified as "open source" that they don't know any better!
When someone says "Free Software" you know exactly what they mean, because you know what type of license "Free Software" is required to have.
PS: I know there is an "Open Source Definition." I am talking about the public's perception of these things, not our perception of them. Just like to the public "hacker" == "cracker" -- if you want to complain about the public's perception of things, you have to talk to them using their usage of the word.
My suggestion: Call free software "Free Software" and let "Open Source" mean "you can look at the source." "Open Source" as having that definition is already out of its cage; there is nothing we can do about it now. Just like people will continue to call 'crackers' 'hackers'..
Yes, FUN is what's missing. It's about as enjoyable as going to the dentist. Only like four sound effects in the whole game, and terrible graphics. Constant crashing. What a rip off!
I don't think it is physically possible for Call to Power to be worse than Alpha Centauri.
Hey, what about Rob's slashdot logo for debian (above). It looks like the best choice to me.. unfortunately it doesn't seem to be on that page:(
I actually don't mind the red penguin logo now that I've finally got used to it. Another thing to consider is that if we want anyone to remember the logo, we'll have to stop choosing a new one every 6 months or so!

Places that are predominantly white frighten me. White people can be scary and I'm one of them.
I stopped reading right here, you bigoted shit.
I found The C++ Programming Language to be very easy to read. And unlike other books, it actually taught you proper C++, not "C with Objects."

C++ is not C++/CLI. C++/CLI is irrelevant outside of Microsoft corporate headquarters.

It's SCO all over again.
That EXE file extension is a humourous anachronism on Unix. Now I know how the Mac people feel....
Yes, that's just what we need. State-sponsored music. I'm sure that will be wonderful.

Gandhi drank urine every morning and was obsessed with feces -- is he really the expert to be quoted on when it comes to civilization??

No, I don't think so. Not according to the "Open Source" definition from the OSI anyway.
NewHoo was already 'gobbled up' by AOLscape. It seems they've abandoned it though..

Well they don't even have the i586 one ready yet. I'm running the 686 one on my Cyrix 5x86/100 cpu with no problems (a 486).
Probably beta testers.
Okay, I'll check it out. The Xerox story is just the one I've always heard..
Uh?
