That is exactly what 2600 is. If they win this case, I'll be exuberant, but its not going to happen. the MPAA just has too much money, and 2600 not enough, not to mention the fact that while 2600 was breaking the law (court order?) for reasons they saw as justified, they were still breaking the law. Who knows, maybe DeCSS will become required reading in 10th grade Lit classes, anythings possible, but I am not going to hold my breath.
The government can make you sell your land, build a highway, or a power line, and thats considered quite alright. I think this is a little different, seeing as they didn't get permission, but its not like they really hurt anyone. I'm about to sue DirecTv for broadcasting into my yard without my permission.
Is this going to be a RTS? Its probably just Red Alert 6 with new graphics. I've YET to see/play a Dune game that didn't suck ass. for some reason this potentially great franchise Just never produces a quality game.
Why is Linux just now getting viable journaling file systems? Hasn't that been a part of comercially viable OSes for quite some time now? In the all go no stop world of serious data crunching, one would think it absolutely necessary. Perhaps the lack of one of sufficient speed has kept linux from completely taking over the world. Which, if Linux DID take over the OS market, and dominated with something like 99.9% market penetration (don't forget the fuck-ups running BSD:) who would the government bust on for monopolistic non-competetive bullshit? Just wondering.
I think I own a porno of the same name. *Ba-doom sha*
Another example of a worthless study clogging/., please for the childrens sake, stop the insanity!
Well finally the idea of "cyber-space" is out of the womb and in its infancy. The ability to BE someone else in a virtual word, including earning a living, is pretty cool, if not a little scary. I work forty hours a week, and spend another 30 hours online building chairs, how much sense does this make? Yet, somehow manual labor at the click of a mouse is fun, who knew? I hope another Ultima Online game comes out with a year or so, 10x as complex as the first. Hope hope hope.
Sometimes I've got to wonder when are programming languages going to die and software is just going to write itself? A human simply describes what the program needs to do, and it just spits out an application. 25 years, 30 years? Thats what Im waiting for.
I just hope I don't piss someone at UUnet off, having your site essentially drop off the Net is kind of scary. Major backbone providers could hold people like microsoft ransom and demand payment before they let people using their backbone access the site again. Of course the backbone provider would surely lose most of their customers, but still....
Why my video toaster/flyer is still BAD ASS? And edits video like a no limit soldier? No, it doesn't. The amiga is STILL ahead of its time as far as that is concerned. My PC with a SHITLOAD more megahertz STILL can't do real time crossfades and what not. The flyer can.
Thats funny, my P III - 450 with only 256 megs of ram, and lowly ATA/33 hard disks, captures DV just fine. Its only 200 megs a minute.... No dropped frames. now the rendering can take a while sometimes, but thats CPU bound. And it isn't "capturing" technically, its just a file transfer.
Fuck You. The point of the post is that sometimes the media gets wind of things it shouldn't. And runs stories about things 99% of the planet doesn't need to know about. When we updated the radius server, the admin felt it necessary to email all our dial-up customers, tell them about it. So they call us, and I have to spend 5 minutes explaining to someones grandmother that they need to call Compaq and see if they have any updated drivers, even though more than likely they dont. I didn't claim to be some kind of RFC genius, I read the things, well, scan them anyway, and most of it means little or nothing to me. Busta.
Was invented by the Czechoslovakian (sp?) Carel Kapek (again, sp?) and incoporated into a play he wrote for the Czech National Theatre. The name of that play is R.U.R., Rossum's Universal Robots. I played the accountant in my college production, it was great fun. Though i'm sure no one cares, seeing as no one else who reads slashdot could ever be a theatre fag (NOT GAY) AND a Computer Nerd.
Does this sound odd to everyone else outside of England? To me it sounds insane. Like issuing a license to own a computer, or a phone. Please tell me the British government doesn't require a license for a fucking toilet, cause that would suck.
I have more games for my DC (PSO, Jet Grind, NFL2k1, Daytona, Samba de Amigo, and many more) that I enjoy playing than I could even FORCE myself to play on the overhyped PS2. The DC just had the games I wanted. I wasn't even tempted by the PS2, friends who had them did nothing but try to convince me how great they were. So I'd sit them down in front of Jet Grind and watch them disappear into a world of actual FUN gameplay. It was amazing. I am personally responsible for 5 people SELLING their PS2's and buying dreamcasts.
Sure the customer has no problem talking to the plane, but where does the plane send/get the data? A base station of some sort that it has to be able to see at all times? This just doesn't make much sense.

It was the game that crashed and wiped my memory right before that big Calc test. Ahhh, memories.
Wouldn't that be almost anyone on a show on The WB?
DeBeers.
I'm sure glad I own a dreamcast.
