If that doesn't work, and we actually reach a state of utter cultural impoverishment where no games (or music or movies, for that matter) are being produced because nobody can figure out how to make a living doing it (and no hobbiests manage to churn out anything but crap)...which I maintain is an economic impossibility
It's also a cultural impossibility that indies and artist that give away their shit for free, are unable to produce something worthwhile. Music and paintings that have survived centuried aren't generally known for their capitalistic links.
I doubt that. I remember hearing Sunde on the radio two weeks ago where he said that they just barely broke even. And I frankly don't see where they would get wads of cash from, ad revenue is not great, and there are maintenence costs.
Reading this and some of the other replies, I'm quite stunned at the low data rates you guys have in the U.S.
I don't want to sound like an asshole or make you feel worse about yourself, but when you talk about 10mbit as something fast, I'm just a little amused.. =)
I was just thinking when I read this, at sometime in the evolutionary history of the earth, color probably didn't matter at all. The organisms were probably just "randomly" colored, that is, evolution didn't favor any specific color. Then eventually, species developed optic sensors, and then began to put meaning to the color, slowly weeding out individuals that displayed a color associated with negative features.
So the it wouldn't be surpricing if the actual colors of the first organisms are kind of off-putting to the creatures of today.
Or, they were just shades of grey....
I can't login with Miranda, and I think I couldn't login yesterday either.. not that I would notice, on a normal day i have a total of zero ICQ contacts online.
I don't get the error message described in the article, but then agian I think Miranda has its own.
Are you serious? I thought there were millions of homes with internet access in USA.. There are 9 million people in Sweden, and while I don't know how many homes that translates to, I think there's actually more homes with internet access here than 238..
edit: Just googled, and as of may 2007 there are 1.2 million homes in Sweden with -broadband- connection, and another 600k can have it if they like....
The stock heatsink for the AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ (I've bought two of them for two different computers) are among the best I've seen. They are a snap to install, they're pretty quiet, and my CPU temp averages at 40-45 c under load.
As someone else mentioned, other elaborate third party solutions are often just alot of hazzle and don't yield that better results. Now I just decided to *not* write a story about a Zalman I installed recently, because it would take too long and upset me... bah
You forget the most important thing about 2008 as opposed to 1958, and that is communication. What your list fail to acknowledge is the applications of said improvements. A computer in every home, internet, and a cellphone in every pocket has changed our lives more than imporoving technologies such as atomic power or plastics.

If bugfixing is all that's left to do, of course no-one new joins the project.
indeed
.. In fact our Fabrication department would probably be better off with free software ..
It's nice to see companies, such as yours, naming their departments correctly and honestly. Most other companies would call it "Legal department".
Bah, you're not so smart, who do you think you are, Einstein?
I think there is a theory somewhere that explains why someone would react so strongly against something so meaningless

Sad thing is, that's actually true. There are such people.
"let's call it the first cyberpunk MMO: a virtual world about virtual worlds, in which your avatar is an avatar, the NPCs play NPCs.."
.hack beat them to it by a six years.
If that's the defintion of a cyberpunk MMO, then

Good, you just saved me a top-post of my own.

Where can I buy me one of those?

Problem? Seems like a blessing to me.
It all starts with 1+1=2, and that's neither a discovery nor an invention, it's an assumption. The rest is just semantics.
Please, tell me more!
