about a day and a half of productivity time at work. Granted some of that was because of how slowly information was passed out. It wasn't til the next day that I found the solution on my own using my own personal notebook and internet connection.
Regardless it was a massive disruption and when you work for a company that has 50,000 customers world wide the task of fixing the problem is massive and the effects of downtime can be disastrous as it spans entire divisions, etc.
At the guys wrapped in tin foil who are "yanking their internet cables". The paranoia of some people is borderline hilarious. It's a freaken game system not your soul. Oh noes!!! Seriosly people...get a grip on reality. You act like one day you're gonna power it on and it no longer plays games...Sony decided to make it a dedicated picture viewer only. LOL!!!
The Slashdot crowd seems full of people who let misplaced principles get in the way of common sense. Then again these are the same guys who use Linux.
hahahaha!! Oh man!!! You are so funny!!!! What a comedic genius!! hahahaha! I can't stop laughing...oh man...where do you get this material from?!?!?!? ZOMG I'm gonna share your joke with everyone I see...even if it's a stranger!!! You need your own show or something....hahahahahah....my side is killing me from laughing so hard!!
TROLL!!!! Yes!!!!! Awesome!! I love it when I'm called a troll for stating the obvious! Ebert is an old fucking dinosaur who just needs to die already.
Keep modding me troll!!! That's when I know I posted something worthwhile!
Plain and simple...to say that games aren't art demonstrates an epic level of ignorance. He's been quoted as saying this before and it's made him a laughing stock in the gaming community.
It is a huge step backwards...I don't think slashdot is the site for you if you think draconian control of what people can install on their hardware is the right direction.
Apple has crippled Safari so it won't support Flash, FX and Silverlight yet they haven't intoduced any sort of solution to RIA.
What a joke...that sort of control is great for game consoles, etc.
the US has simply become a joke when it comes to leading the world in science and technology. Too busy spending that money on bailing out the economy and socializing everything.
China's reign certainly won't be threatened by this "has been" nation.
is that 90% of their scientific papers are about air pollution, Emphysema and statistical analysis of the effects of human rights violation on a population.
funny how the article doesn't mention that guys like John Carmack have gone on to use DirectX for various things and I don't seem him crying about using it for the XBox 360.
Your post was hardly insightful...it's the classic "well a plane a year is worth my privacy". Really? This guy would have been caught by TSA...plain and simple...and not by THE PASSENGERS. You seem happy that our security involves passengers and not the government agency that is paid billions a year. They'll get health care right though.
Only what we got WAS Star Wars like. I hate to break the news to you but Star Wars was completely unoriginal. I like how people act like Star Wars or even worse yet The Dark Knight were entirely original where as Avatar is a complete rehash.
Yeah...the 6th movie in a 75 year old comic book franchise is original! Star Wars was based off Greek Mythology, King Arthur, Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, LOTR and Dune. Lucas even admitted he was inspired by the classic hero FORMULA from the The Hero with a Thousand Faces book.
Avatar is every bit like Star Wars and the sequels will flesh it out every bit as much as the Star Wars sequels.
Think about it...Star Wars was about rescuing a princess from a space castle...you gonna tell me that wasn't predictable? It was The Empire Strikes Back that really expanded the story and took it new and unpredictable directions.
The rosey tinted glasses of nostalgia always make things look better.

A better question though is can it play crysis?
Reality also doesn't resonate well with Mother Jones reading, Michael Moore fanclub presidents, tin-foil based, libtards such as yourself
capitalism is teh evil!!!!
Resorting to that tired meme is +5 insightful? Oh ok. Good to know.
