Can it really be that hard? Maybe I'm oversimplifying this.. but couldn't you just write a few scripts that fed a command line cd-burner that was hooked up to your huge library of cds or mp3s? Then all ya need is a monkey to put the blank cd in and take it back out:) HEY! they could patent the monkey part... again... just curious
as of right now battle.net servers run solaris from what i've seen. check for yourself.. telnet to one of em. are they going to do an OS overhaul on the servers? i find that highly unlikely. that would require a major undertaking and patching all current games that use battle.net i would think. just curious...
"The report shows that our hard work in this country is paying off..." I'm sorry.. did I miss something? Isn't it our laziness and complacency that got us into the whole Y2K mess in the first place; programmers without the forethought to consider the repurcusions (spelling?) of certain shortcuts and then not caring when the possibility of problems was pointed out to them? As I recall 10-20 yrs ago some ppl tried to make fuss about the exact same issue and it was quietly swept under the rug (I remember some news magazine reporting something to that effect.. don't have the source)
and one question: What makes us think that just because some of us (US ppl) were cutting corners and taking shortcuts, that the rest of the world (CNN ref. Mexico, Canada, Saudi-Arabia, China) were making the same mistakes?
