I apologize for being unclear, I was making fun the previous post, and I'd thought I put in a sarcasm tag with regards to the Xbox360 crack.
I don't have one, and I don't really care how good the graphics are or are not. His post was simply criticizing a game because it ran in 600p, regardless of the games merits with regards to game play.
For consoles, I play games on the Wii, with its 480p graphics.While I am underwhelmed with the graphics often (relatively poor anti-aliasing among other things) that doesn't mean I enjoy the games any less.
I bet his problem was he played it on the Xbox360, and we know of course that has mediocre graphics.
I thought it was a good game, played on the PC at least. Admittedly, I only really played the single player mode as I was unimpressed with the multiplayer.
I wonder if this is a case of "I hate the game because I bought the competing game" or "I hate the game because it isn't shiny, and I just on the shininess not gameplay."
I would guess that is more a problem with Office rather than with XP, as the files mentioned open without problems on a fully updated XP with OpenOffice.org.
My WRT54G with Tomato has the option to block all internet access, or certain kinds of traffic to a specific machine, based on IP or MAC. I'd have assumed the OpenWRT would be able to do the same....
Some non-human readable meta data? If someone sends you a Not-a-virus.txt in an email attachment, what kind of file is it? An executable a funny story? How would you know?
I have a few old computers lying around. The difference being they're old desktops. Nothing 'unique' about them since by that point they were made into consumer commodity machines.
1000 different variations, all of them the same.
Compared to the stuff mentioned in the article, not worth preserving. Those computers of yesteryear are more akin to gaming consoles today. Not endlessly customizable, and new revisions don't come out every week.
End Price - Cost To Acquire - Cost to Stock - Cost To Distribute
You are making the assumption that cost to stock and distribute are ~0; I won't argue that, since I don't know what it costs to run the store selling the App, and Tax et al. Interesting that you ignore the 'cost to acquire' since its fixed and you only have to pay that once in this case (ignoring maintenance and support) but it is still notable.
It's kind of like you're talking about the efficiency of an algorithm, constants are always ignored.
O(n) = 1 being the business model.
That's a great algorithm right? Oh, forgot the constant c, which is 10^238.
Just because there is a fixed front end costs doesn't mean that there is no cost, or that it is not valid.
I think the hairs may be split a bit too much on the distinction between independent and individual in this case. Since they are independent of each other, and only talk with the disk controller they don't work together, each resource (read disk) is used independently. The disks won't all stop working if one (or more depending on the RAID type) dies. The disks are independent of each other, not the array.
Regardless, independent still doesn't make a whole lot of sense in the acronym, where inexpensive does.

They don't care how unworkable it is, as long as they have the power to censor things on demand.
Don't blame the developers, its the Nazi's fault ^_^

It'll happen right after Garry's Mod is released for the PS3.

Well, apparently a lot of programmers think putting the type that something is, in the name of whatever.
Like strName. Its just useful to know what you're dealing with in general.
Then you've never used a windows gui ;)
What do you want to specify the data type?

or Bork bork bork, bork bork bork.
Prolly need to set the tree they're strung up to on fire as well.
That is great. +1 Funny Link
Since you seem to know about this, how long would a normal Disk last in that environment?

I found it amusing. But then I enjoy TF2's humor and style.
But it was successful a few years back. People actually believed the FUD they spouted.
Now you're working with portals.
Won't somebody think of the children?

Also works with government accountability.
Because they don't have open minds.
