Please don't call it a 'Computer'. Lets reserve the term for devices for which you can develop without having to be approved by a Czar and with no forced cut of sales.
You're the one full of shit clinging to decade old quotes. Carmack himself later said DirectX is better nowadays. Maybe the notion of some things getting better and the other things degrading is foreign to you. Anyway, read this and the comments http://braid-game.com/news/?p=364
I am sorry but there are many other reasons. Linux audio is a pain for game developers. The tools are lacking. OpenGL standards developers sided with CAD companies thereby screwing over game developers. I know I'll be downmodded for saying things that are meant to be brushed under the carpet on Slashdot but I don't care about karma.
Why were they browsing Facebook links etc. in IE6 when they were hacked, doesn't make any sense for Google to allow such things and then go back and blame MS for it.
Wrong, the Apple Computer part is to just confuse the user, not to enable the attack. They could've just used Apple 1nc. and some people would still think it's sanctioned by Apple,.
This struck me as a very interesting figure, because after firing up XCalc, I figured out that if indeed...
Was that before or after jumping into his Ferrari and flashing his iPhone? Why do people need to display their smug superiority from the unwashed masses when any decent calculator would give the same result?
Liking books is subjective, whereas (s)he seems to be stating objective stuff here. Care to point out any faults in his/her post you were replying to or the reasoning? Looks like you couldn't and thus were raking up shit to discredit him/her.
If I remember the articles what you said is correct. There were accounts that were hacked through phishing and bugs in IE6. Actual attacks on google did not succeed and had nothing to do with IE6.
Seriously, people are so blinded by MS hatred here that they fail to even see the possibility that Google can be at fault.
The best that I can figure is that GOOGLE itself was NOT HACKED. Just the accounts of people using Google services were hacked. Those people were external. But because newspeople are clueless about technology they equate "wah, my google account got hacked" with "Google got hacked". You are right; outside of some simple virtual machines for testing their code changes against IE6 nobody at Google uses IE6.
Slashdot Mirror
True, the technical details for interested geeks are here http://blogs.technet.com/askperf/archive/2007/03/29/windows-vista-superfetch-readyboost.aspx
Windows 7/Vista do search indexing, defragmentation in the background at low disk priority.
*Another* piece? Care to name some recent ones? Like in this decade?

It won't 'shut' it down, as I mentioned in my post.
What's to stop Redhat from releasing a spurious critical security update? Or Apple for OS X?
Bet you're not a game developer, are you?

Stop sitting on your couch and spouting off things that game developers should do, they have their own constraints.
Yes, it's optional.
I mean, they can basically disable/cripple anyone's computer for any reason without notice.
The computer is not cripped, all you get is notifications and loss of wallpaper and some always on text on the desktop.

How long till they get sued by Microsoft?

Were they born PHP coders and can't learn??? Is a language like a race, encoded in you DNA?
Meh.
Meeeeeeeeeeeep.
Hello, Dr. Murray, http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/odd/69904592.html?elr=KArksDyycyUtyycyUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUU
Not the point. Apple Computer is a known entity, easily verified by Verisign. But it somehow wasn't. Odd that.
Wrong.. you're looking at Apple Inc.

...after firing up XCalc..
But...but... he's using XCalc, how his math be bad?!

It was on fucking CNN for Chrissake.
It's already happening. Take a look at Firefox. http://i.imgur.com/qD2OV.png

Wrong. If that's the best you can figure out, you're either a Google shill or really lack reading comprehension. http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/01/operation-aurora/
How is this evil? Or were you just karma whoring?
Old joke is old.
W7 blows up Firefox; every launch throws three error dialogs before settling down and running. F12 instead throws the abrt-tool every time FF closes.
And that's Windows 7's fault and cannot be Firefox's? Right? Blind fanboi, much?
