Auto-update is really annoying, especially if you don't have a very good connection. Its one of the first things I disable when I do a fresh install of XP.
Not sure why this was modded funny, as this seems to be far and away the predominant mentality of windows users...
While the main reason people do 3D instead of 2D sprite games these days is that 1) 3D scales (you don't have to have individual artwork for each resolution level)
You could do this way more easily with Vector Graphics
and 2) You don't have to animate each frame individually, you can do "2D" games that are actually 3D, but presented in such a way that the player doesn't need to worry about depth.

It seems that given enough money to fuel a legal team: Yes
That's all fine and well, but in my experience, most laptops will break as soon as you hit them with a hammer, not just apple laptops.
Just saying...
You do realise you're on the internet, right?
What the fuck does "regulate the inernet" actually mean? It could mean anything!
1. announce plans to regulate internet
2. ???
3. profit
Touche.
Man I wish I lived in your country :/
All *AUSSIE PRIDE!!!!!1111one* guys can shut the fuck up, our country has been going down the toilet since the mid 90's
As much as I hope this mod pulls off the feel of the original Half Life, I think an even bigger hope will be for the mod to be actually finished.
Either way, I hope these guys get the recognition and financial success they deserve.

Get him an IBM z series, because nothing is too good for bub!

That show scares the crap out of me, then again I remember Close Encounters of the Third Kind scaring me as a kid, so maybe I'm scarred.
Honestly though, if I was a kid I'd be scared shitless and furiously try and find the Bob the Builder site.
That's okay, we'll just send wave after wave of our own men against them...

Again, Vector Graphics

The two *good* ISPs with a track record of ethical policies and behaviour are:
iinet (iinet.net.au)
internode (internode.on)
Altough I have to say in terms of pioneering affordable and not shit broadband in Australia, internode deserve a lot of cudos:

That is the most ridiculous argument I've ever heard, and I read /. every day!
downloading HD rips off any of the following:
- usenet
- thepiratebay
- isohunt
is a viable, serious option.
That's all I have to say.
I call bullshit on that. Dell is routinely cheaper than:
Lenovo
HP
ASUS
IBM
Sun
for almost anything, and hence why their hardware is occasionally a bit dodgy. The only manufacturer that is cheaper (and nastier) is Acer. *shudder*
Disclaimer: I actually don't mind Dell, especially their servers, but they do occasionally ship you a lemon. You get what you pay for I guess.
Have you tried Plone? http://plone.org/
I doubt it was anonymous. Basically a bunch of script kiddies.
There are plenty of script kiddies that just call themselves anonymous, so the line is very blurry these days.
I guess we'll find out soon enough.
I'm sorry, UI-based linux admins? Surely you mean 'users' rather than 'admins'
Not for latex fetish collections.
