Whoa calm down! He said you should not complain if you are getting something for free THAT YOU SHOULD BE PAYING FOR. That music is not released for free, it costs money. You should have to pay for it according to law. The subject of his text was THAT music.
Correct, except he is making a sarcastic remark to the fellow who argued that the burden of proof also falls on one who claims nonexistance. A statement which, as has already been pointed out, is impossible and therefore not valid.
You are correct. This article that describes new "breakthroughs" in their plan is exactly the same story as the announcement of their plan. I find it kind of funny when slashdot dupes posts, but that isn't the case here. Cut them some slack, yes? They were just following up on a story I find quite interesting. . .
It was pretty unbiased. Microsoft really does have a "we control everything" stance on their network. They run the servers, they know the customer's information. Why don't you go take some of your blood pressure pills, and ask the closest person to you to assist you in undoing that bundle you have gotten your panties them in.
I really hope that those people from the middle-east finally adopt this standard. I had to sit behind someone wearing an old-school "normal" turbine during Star Wars, and it was quite annoying, to say the least.
Um... no... It's not the same at all. This is a true sequel who's planning was started almost 2 years ago and it has it's own dev team of about 40 people. It's based on the same world, but takes place years later and is supposed to have some interesting takes on character creation/advancement and death. It's supposed to have a killer graphics engine, too, and they are just kinda hoping that by late 2003 (when they expect to ship) that everyone will have systems capable of running it (which are right around the highest-end systems out right now).

Go back and read some of the other comments that explain it better. You missed the part about how it wasn't really a "typo". Apperently they said it was a "Special Pre-Order Sale for $129.00 - a savings of $200". Oops, I accidentally typed out all this math I accidentally did.
For the uninitiated, CPL stands for Cyberathelete Professional League. This story is about the recent competition (indeed, world championship) for the uber popular Half-Life modification, CounterStrike.
What is the horrible deal with letting people know what to expect in games? I'm not a parent, but if I didn't follow games I know I could use a little help in knowing what to buy my children. These ratings only serve as an indicator of what to expect from the game, movies have been doing this for years. Ratings don't force anything upon anyone. It's just another label, what's the big deal?
Hmm... Katz almost always writes series of stories. It's obvious that Sklyarov and Katz are working together to try and buff up the interest in his writing. Gee, Too bad they didn't think about this plan first.
Who said anything about code? The word "function" doesn't neccessarily mean a block of code in a source file. I think it's clear that they are talking about the "functions" that a user interface provides such as navigating your filesystem, or navigating the web. In that light, Microsoft's statement makes a lot more sense.

I have never noticed this. . . are you sure that the HTML of whatever page you are looking at is correct? Post the URL so we can check it out.
Counter-Strike department? Columbia you say? Hm....

A combination LDAP client and baseball bat?

So he can order the creation of an army of clones, but he can't give us online privacy?
I know what you mean. I had to look this up, too. Apperently it takes longer than 5 months to make a game.
</sarcasm>
This goes not only for the console, but for controllers and memory cards (which have also been reduced by about $10) as well.
It seems suspicious to me. Anyone else getting a "Godfather 2"-like vibe from this?
Good, finally a book that will cover how to make the transition from the runway, to the porn industry. Or did I miss something?

This is the part where you tell him that Netscape 6 is (not-so-loosley) based off of the great software he just installed.
I've been using it without any terrible problems since some of the later milestones... I don't think that it suddenly "grew up" in 0.9.9.
The graphics arent as good as EQ
So... this means that Microsoft hired a kindergartener with some finger paint to do the graphics for asherons call?
I smell a class action
HOO
I am for re-e-eal

Isn't it a bad sign for an editor when it's CVS changelog consists mostly of empty entries?

How will the users know where the code is?

It's true. It really is a pretty good movie.
