Well, you're absolutely right. Still sucks though... Nashville has two of the largest theaters in the eastern US, and I've seen some *really* crappy indie films shown there that couldn't have brought in more than a dozen people total. Seems like CTHD would be a shoe-in, considering all the hype it's getting.
Ya know what sucks? This movie won't be released anywhere in Tennessee, other than Memphis. I really want to see this, but I'm not driving five hours. Guess I have to wait for the DVD
Every time this debate comes up, someone will make a reasonable post such as this one. But my question is - why is it still necessary? Anyone with half a brain realizes that Windows simply ain't that bad, and Linux simply ain't that great. They both have their strengths and weaknesses, but MS is far and away the larger entity, and Linux will be playing catch-up for some time to come.
Typical AC behavior. If a poster disagrees with the groupthink here at/., and actually makes good points, he gets attacked. You're the "moronick assXXXX"
One of the themes we keep repeating in the gaming world is that Nintendo tends to produce technologically backwards systems (with the possible exception of the Gamecube), but stellar games.
Maybe in the NES/SNES era, but the N64 has been woefully lacking any stellar games. I can count the truly great AAA N64 games on one hand. The Dreamcast already has more than that, and the PSX has several times that many.
Id is dangerously close to being irrelevant at this point. They are being replaced by Free Software and if they don't watch themselves it just won't be their 'Linux market' that gets undercut.
Yeah, I'm loving all those commercial quality open source games (/sarcasm)
For me the issue isn't bloat, it's the fact that the Mozilla team wasted time on all these non-essentials, when what they should have been doing is focusing on the browser proper 100% of the time.
I have a pretty hefty DVD collection, but when they go bad or become obsolete, they're going to make another few thousand bucks off me for content I've already purchased the right to view? -- Screw that. I'll go without video or music if it comes to this
Lame argument. Do what I did with my collection of VHS tapes when DVD came out - sell them. I ebay'ed the majority of my VHS collection, and at *least* broke even. For example, I sold my Die Hard VHS Trilogy for over $30, when I bought the DVDs for less at CompUSA the day before.
Not everyone adopts technology at the same time. People still buy vinyl, cassettes, Super Nintendo games, etc. There is a market for older media formats.
Other than the fact that they both exist due to MP3s, Napster and my.mp3.com are vastly different. At least MP3.com takes steps to make sure only legal owners have access to their music, Napster is an illegal free-for-all.
Agreed. I propose that we take steps to heal all the damage to the earth since 300 billion BC. Let us work together to heal the effects of continental drift, and reform Panagea
As I am neither fat nor stupid, and since I don't consume either cheeseburgers or Pepsi, I must take umbrage with your stereotype. But you're right about one thing - if the rest of the world is as patently moronic and bigoted as you, I DON'T have any interest.
I dunno - I can think of plenty of consoles which had "killer apps" which still ultimately failed - The NEC box (Turbo Graphix?) with Metal Slug, Jaguar with Tempest 2000, Saturn with NiGHTS, Daytona, VF Remix, and a slew of great RPGs, etc. "One Good Game" just doesn't hack it any more. And with the Indrema, who is going to make that game? I don't see *anyone* developing original commercial quality titles for Linux, and certainly don't anticipate it for the indrema either, especially when there's a MUCH better chance of making a profit with the estabilished consoles.

1. It ain't a distro - and it comes with plenty. Not as much as the $200 shovelware Redhat 7 packages, but enough
2. 'cause you're not cool enough, and MS doesn't want you fscking stuff up.
3. less than $100. You get what you pay for, BTW
