people seriously think kotaku is legit?? i mean, after the gizmodo iphone shitfanning and gawker's complete ineptness to secure their users' info, i've stopped clicking on links to any of those sites.
when i ask somebody the date i'm almost always asking it for the day, not month or year, which i usually know. so i find 8-5-11 much more logical than according to significance.
logical in this way: when i ask someone what date (no mention about the time) is it, it is most likely that i don't know the day, after that it is most likely that i don't know the month and in the very rare case i might not know the year either. so, my way of writing the date (or speaking it) gives the reader (or listener) the info that he most likely wants first, and then in decreasing order of likeliness. also, the date is not a long number, it is a set of three values. you cannot jumble up the insides of those values.
i know fullscreen flash mostly works on ubuntu. but the % of times it does not work is unnaturally high. i have an acer i3, 2gb ram and integrated graphics. all 3d stuff works flawlessly. flash itself works very nicely. only when i fullscreen a youtube vid, it just shows me a frozen video frame with audio playing. i've messed around a lot with drivers and other suggestions but it still does not work. also, i'm not going to update to 11.04 just because i hate all that unity bullshit. actually i'm content with the way things are, its just that it is inaccurate to say that ubuntu is grandma friendly. because if an average user encounters this problem there is simply no recourse for him but to wait for the next version of ubuntu. the same average, non-techie guy will never see this problem on windows 7. in the rare case it does happen, it would have been due to a hardware problem and the vendor will replace his machine.
maybe its just me but i've never found a single windows pc that was unable to play fullscreen youtube video due to 'misconfiguration'. old hardware, yes, but never any software problem.
i agree completely. what i don't agree to is this line you wrote in your earlier comment:
It shows that if you are the kind of asshole that stands against civilization, that just wants to kill and create havoc, you'll be tracked down and dealt with.
the us will NOT track you down if you are an asshole who stands against civilization. it will deal with you ONLY if you stand against america. and that's completely ok. that is exactly how it should be.
Dunno what to tell you; works fine for me. Sure you're not just running it on really old hardware?
tell me if this is old: 2.3ghz core i3, 2gb ddr3 ram, 320gb hdd, intel graphics.
Let's see... boot up Ubuntu... launch Firefox... go to youtube.... click on "install adobe flash".... click "I agree"... done!
To be completely fair, I do seem to be having a weird effect with the newest update, where the videos load full-screen in the background and I have to minimize the browser in order to see them. It's annoying, but not exactly a critical flaw.
you contradict yourself. also, it is a critical flaw for the average grandma, and the average user for that matter.
i never said cost is the most important factor. i object to you mentioning mac to be better while talking about cost. because it is not. similarly, i never said "it's too expensive to buy a Linux compatible printer or scanner to enable a platform migration".
the problem with that message is that it says "if you fuck with the US, you get fucked." not like you make it out to be. the US will not track down and kill osama-types unless they hurt america.
Slashdot Mirror
most of the internet is.
i dunno. i'm not american but i like reading about us military tech.
because nerds like reading about technical things, and military news is almost always highly technical?
i thought mw and mw2 are the most pc optimized fpses you can buy right now? except for maybe crysis. and you think iw is shafting pc users?

Leaked? How come all these 'leaked' video game articles always look like perfectly assembled press releases?
Here are the original Kotaku articles:

I wonder if they were delivered pre-written?
Full Disclosure: I loved MW and MW2. I would still be playing MW2 if i had just gotten a 360
why?

i find 8-5-2011 the most logical date order. and the stupidest way is 5-8-2011. now that is just random!
i decided to be a little adventurous and opened the link on ie9/win7. brief glimpse of google image seacrh and then a 404 error.
yeah right, and guess what? ie and windows defaults also do not allow auto-installation of executables.
and had your phone been an n900, it might have actually gone on and gotten installed!
what does poisoned even mean here?

does that mean you can't use your xbox along with your pc? sux!

adobe flash cs5. i should have been more specific.

the whole discussion is about windows 7 being better than xp. if linux is brought into the debate, it has to stand up against 7, not xp.
the problem with that message is that it says "if you fuck with the US, you get fucked." not like you make it out to be. the US will not track down and kill osama-types unless they hurt america.
youtube is touching new highs!
i thought he said he could announce it today that blah blah...
