Ok, so I know we're all biased here, but let me be the first to say that, "I'm addicted to the internet".
I think they're on to something however I don't think people should be forced into camps over it. I'm not hurting anyone with my addiction including myself.
When they graduate, the debt is so hefty that the students are stuck living in their parents' basement for 10 years until they've paid it all off. I can tell you from personal experience that there's some real truth to the hangover.
Just because you live in your Mom's basement surfing Slashdot all day doesn't mean you can blame it on college debt.
Going to court over DRM isn't frivolous and as a game developer myself I disagree with your "starving developer's families" speech. In fact I'd go so far to say that it makes you sound quite ignorant.
Do you happen to work for a publisher by any chance?
Due to the drug exception to the 4th amendment and my adventures in self medicating my social anxiety and Aspergers, I unfortunately had the opportunity to meet these people one month./blockquote>
His ploy of getting legal drugs to feed his habit didn't work so he did jail time.
First time offenders and repeat offenders shouldn't be mixed in prisons, I think that would help a lot and would have the rehabilitation attitude for the first timers.
No, nothing that harms industry is going to come out of this, I only see bad things for consumers.
For example, do you honestly think the government is going to turn around to businesses and say "We're getting rid of software patents, now all those millions you have invested are useless, but thanks for the cash".
Lawsuits are the best option, no company likes going to court and it gets this information out to the public who might know anything about DRM.
It legitimises the whole thing as well, instead of making it look like a bunch of nerds that are bitching because they can't pirate anymore it shows REAL pissed off consumers that don't want this crap on their computers.
Hopefully with enough lawsuits they'll be a law outlawing this practice. I'm really sick of how programmers are allowed to get away with anything they want because it's their program. There needs to be more ethics in the software industry as a whole.
Class action lawsuits "bite you in the ass" because of increased pricing, however you say that lost sales because people refuse to purchase has no effect? What?!
Android is going to be running on different phones, processors and architectures so making an app in C++ for the phone means it's only going to work on that one phone, defeating the whole point of cross platform for phone manufacturers.
and also to be honest, fuck Symbian, the bringers of software patents to the UK. fuck them in the ass with a hot iron rod, everything they touch turns to shit so I hope they don't get anywhere near this...and last but not least you can in fact do c apps on android however for the above reasons it's pointless to do so.
Nonsense, GP was talking about X not working because they screwed up the xorg.conf file.
Nvidia xserver settings, Screen Resolution app, Resoultion switchers.. If one doesn't work something else will, problem is that you start down the road of editing x.org then apps won't work.
Screen Resolution app in Ubuntu won't work if you edit the conf file as a good example.
Slashdot Mirror
Seeming as distrowatch refuses to list Ubuntu: Satanic Edition, but happily allows Muslim and Christian editions of Ubuntu I guess they're going to need the numbers.

because if there's one thing England needs it's more louts drinking... "weeeheeeey!!"
.. not because people are laughing with you, but because they are laughing AT you.
Obvious old troll was obvious, how could you not have seen it?!
Yes, after posting I instantly realised I forgot the minus sign, if only I had a time machine, or used the preview button..
Because the die problems are with notebooks of the previous generation cards so how is it in anyway related?
Also it's lame to post a AC pretending to be someone else because you were modded troll. Real lame.
In that case I decide the number to be 0.0001
It crawls content from other sites and pretends it is its own.

If he got a professional diagnosis he wouldn't be self medicating.
Offtopic: yes @-_-@
Doesn't sound like Joe-No-life if he puts it on autopilot and walks away, sounds more like Joe-has-life in my opinion..
You didn't read the OP..
or write a book called "how to hack" and fill it with useless, wrong stuff and send that for enjoyment.

You dropped out the thread because you lost your argument you pussy. Instead of just admitting you were wrong you had to be a dick about it.
You can go join MindlessAutomata in the crazy stupid room (down the hall, on the left).

Just proves the PC market is dead and will move everything to consoles instead.

That makes no sense at all..

I want to add, a letter, not an email..
I read that as being "sarcastic", what else does the author of this so called, 'news post' call an MMO?
The example of a 100 different variations of a java program is not on the android platform.
This is the whole point of android, so that you don't have to do that anymore.
