Saying a company with more money than you or I will ever touch in our life times doesnt "get" something seems a bit funny'
This seems like another of those "Us and Them" posts MS Vs the FreeWorld
If they get the xBox out there and no OGL on that sucker heh, they are making in roads to gain more developer mind share with DirectX(D3D), So... although they may not be able to *win* if they can get enough people to forget about OGL for the most part....... Viola.
Same here, the ping times are shitty 300ms+ making IDSL not a good idea for gaming *sigh*, but it is consistent and it can hit 15KBytes/second on average.. it is always on, I have a few static IP's and a domain pointed to the house so.. I can say Im pleased and for 60 bucks a month hey its not so bad. Beats 56K:)
Oh oh, this is one of those "praise linux" and get a mod point posts?
You talk like because Linus says its bad design it just HAS to be terrible. He is ONE person and he is NOT perfect.
Big Iron is easy, you download the patches at a distro level, have a few kernels with the patches applied and or, have pre compile dstuff (not that common):)
Soo.. Bleh, I hate it when people talk about linux liek hes omnipotent.
The idea of posting a comment is to generate 'useful' discussion pertaining to the stories topic.
If asking a question spawns a very useful thread, then that entire thread should be modded up so that others with higher moderation thresholds get to see that information
That is why you will see people mod up seemingly useless parent posts which simply 'ask' a question:) HTH
I often wonder if some people arent almost serious, but you know posting that kind of stuff here with us close minded zealots (speaking for my self) is just going to be modded to troll land..
Hmmmn.. Hunting is a hobby of mine and you guys are talking like firing a gun and cleaning it is some black art. A single shot shot gun is like the easiest firearm to oeprate. You break the barrel open, stick the shell in, pull the hammer back and away you go. Puh lease.. im 6'2" and 180 pounds.. I can fire a 30-06 with real heavy grained bullets half a day...
Heh, okay well you replied anonymous -1 point for you.
Next, if you sell out to a comapny and YOU lose control of your company and things go wrong and bungie's reputation is tarnished because their executives decided to do some silly agreement with Microsoft which is basically ruining a lot of the thrill of the company and its games WHAT do you call it?
Looking out for the companies best intrest by signing a deal with Microsoft that is going to probably piss a lot of people off no matter how good the games are you write?
I am not saying I dont like it I am saying quite simply they sold out to MS, maybe it is in the companies best intrest but they still sold out, and I can label someone for what they are and I dont HAVE to like what they do if I find it wrong.
If I wanted to provide a useful utility to the world and did not feel like getting in trouble.. I would see to it that it is distirbuted anonymously so that people could propogate it and it would never die.
If I felt like making a statement and boasting about my name and pushing my name around so more people knew who I was.. id release it with my name..
Now then what has Mr. Frankel done? AHA, his anme is ALL over this.. obviosuly hes pushing his agenda along with this neat hack.. so these kind of things are cool but hes trying to make a statement? or something.. whatever his agenda is.
I suppose that would be the case if they were patenting NAT, but they are just patenting a security measure for NAT..... heh read the patent not just what/. posts
Time to bring out some of my fun sayings about cars.
Cars are like women, the more money you have the faster they are the car does not complain at night.
Me talking to a mechanic about 4 years ago when I was just getting into cars,
Me: So.. how fast can you make it? Mechanic:
Well.. how much money do you have?
Me:Seriously??:-P
hehe, those basically apply to computers to kind of proves computers are a guy thing;)
I cant tell you the countless dollars ive spent on my car.
It starts out with some simple thing like I want a supercharger charger installed, the mechanic is like well to really get full use from it you need a new x and a new y and a new z really wouldn thurt
So the dollars signs roll and roll and finally I have enough to have this work done:-P
Kind of reminds me when I upgraded my Video card, really I needed a new processor and more ram to get any use out of the darn thing:-P
But.. after about several thousand dollars and a little luck I can run with just about anything you see on the road, save the occasional Turbo 911.. which escapes me by about 3/10 of a second on the qm:-p
Anyways you see my point, you have the money it will go faster
This is mildly off topic but I have something to point out now. Intel and AMD in their ultimately stupid pissing contest have flooded the market with chips and will continue to do so. They are going to be so fierce in pushing out these bad @$$ systems that they are not stopping to really smell the roses, not like they would ever give each other the choice. Intel wants to stay on top, AMD wants to be on top just for once at any cost (no AMD is not on top Intel still out sells them a lot)
Okay so Billy Joe bob bought a 600 MHz PIII with 128MB of ram, chances are billy joe bob isnt going to NEED another system to run anything in the near future at least 3-5 years.
With SO many chips out there, most investors are making Intel and AMD just decent buys now not strong buys.
This pissing contest does create a plethora of cheap powerful chips, but if the demand starts dropping off for them (which it is predicted it will) then these companies have essentially hurt themselves.
They are right now creating a market full of bigger/faster chips and thats great but I have heard a saying work smarter, not harder and for some reason it seems to fit here.
Do more with the same, not more with more. Meaning please start redesigning processors that are more friendly, yes I know its not always possible and there is a tradeoff somewhere.. But I think the tradeoff should be a lot less.
If mother nature created us (using the term mother nature loosely here) and we are capable of stopping a process from occuring then is that not a natural progression of nature?... No worse than you heating your house oh wait dont do that its a process of nautre you cant stop from being cold... *grumble*
Ask 10 people. The choices are red and green.. hmmn well 7/10 people like red.
They will extrapolate from that that Green is the most hated color on the planet.
These polls barely have kernels;) of truth in them at all. They ask totally off the wall questions like "Do you like what clinton did in this bill, which they know most people will answer yes to, and then they convert that to a rating of the nations opinon of clinton."
So whenever I see a poll results it tranlates into something like a lie, benchmark, or something equally nefarious and gets discarded from my mind so that I form my own opinons:)
One of the few points very very few people ever catch about *most* nVidia cards.
Take my comment with a grain of salt since im not providing URL's but....
Comparing side by side TNT2/Geforce whatever cards with a MAX in pictures and the MAX pictures were much more clear.
Everyone cuts corners including nVidia the performance kings. I wish I had a URL to a few pictures but its true and anyone who doesnt believe should research it. (I own a G400 Max which runs on my 19" sony, that I had to pay my left arm for, and it looks so awesome that I could give a crap my QIII performance is sub par.
That is how it is for most people, I stare at code more than QIII on my system which is more important to me?
SO I feel like im just getting the best deal with my Matrox, I can run QIII at playable framerates at 800x600, and I have one of the most crisp and clear pictures on any system I have seen (really).
I love Matrox so much I bought one for my workstation at work.
Anyhow

I think it should be the default hehe I know a lot of other people do that on accident to.
Oh please the parent of your subject is worthless crap.
Think about what 'tolerated societal norms' are. Okay I guess you have, and I really hoep neither of you ever become parents.
Why? Because tolerated societal norms tend to involve being a lazy parent and allowing someone ELSE to assume responsibility for your children and oh, when something goes wrong heaven forbid you made a parenting mistake, sue sue sue, sue the library, sue the porn mags for not having a cover over them sue sue sue.
Point is a parent is supposed to protect their child, not the rest of society, it is NOT my responsiblity to pay for your childs protection, you brought the child into the world by God you better take care of it.
Stop making other people take care of your child. STOP. I agree with not like openly displaying porn and handling public access stuff with discretion right like a say..::POSTER:,

Jeremy
Hmmn.. there is only one thing you all but said so ill say it for you
Microsoft has goofed up yet another good thing..
Lets put the focus to where the real problem is, Bungie SOLD OUT.
Thats the problem, going public (not sure if they are) or just plain selling out means that whoever is running the company is a sell out.
Public companies do whats best for their stock holders...
Private companies who see $$$ signs when MS come to them... Obviously sell out.
Blame whoever made this deal with MS not MS, For MS this is natural for their company, for Bungie it is obviously painful.
But please dont come out and say Bungie is being abused, MS is doing this but it could have bene prevented by Bungie.

Jeremy
That.. that is totally bad.
No one but a childs parent should be responsible for supervising a child.
Bad enough lazy parents complaina bout how school is hurting their kids and how its so bad yadda yadda
Its not about protecting the ISP or anyone but the child, and it is a parents duty to nuture and foster a child.
Giving the lazy parent a TOOL to blame someone else is definately only going to make things even worse.
